The Gospel of Luke is the third book in the New Testament. It copies over half of Mark1 and also uses Josephus's Jewish Antiquities as a reference and so must have been written after 93CE, probably after anyone who had known Paul (or Jesus) was already dead. The place of origin of Luke's writing is unknown. Luke existed in a single-book form in 140CE when it was used by Marcion, and this early version was anonymous. There are some major edits in later versions, especially involving the insertion of the virgin-birth in Luke 2:33 and Luke 2:482. Later versions were "padded out" with extra inserted text, and had enough text added at the end that it had become known as the Acts of the Apostles and was included independently as the fifth book in the New Testament3.
It might be that the character of Luke was based on an old Roman pagan story about the healing God, Lykos, from Greek culture, and hence why the text was given the name Luke. Luke uses Mark, and 'Q', as sources of information. Out of Mark, 54% is quoted in Luke, and there are a hundred or so versus that, along with Matthew, he took from the source known as 'Q'. It is surprising that a first-hand eyewitness of Jesus would need to copy so much of other people's text about Jesus. Luke contradicts the rest of the Bible on quite a few points of theology and gets many elements of Jesus' life simply wrong (for example, the Roman-decreed census that never actually happened). For these reasons Luke is best not considered trustworthy.
Luke 11:27-28 is dismissive of the value of motherhood, contradicting Exodus 20:1-2 and Deut. 5:1-23 which says to honour thy father and mother as part of the 10 Commandments. Luke 12:47-48 says something about it being right to punish and beat slaves. Luke 12:51-53 says Jesus has not come to bring peace but a sword, and has come to divide families, backed up by Luke 18:29 where Jesus says that those who have left relatives behind for Christ's sake will find great rewards in their current life and in the afterlife. So much for family life.
The Gospel of Luke amasses quite a series of theological contradictions and historical mistakes. For example, Luke argues against the virgin birth of Matthew 1:22-23 and goes to inane length to prove that Jesus is descended biologically from the male line of David (Luke 3:23-38). He manages to contradict himself as a result of stating that Mary conceived Jesus whilst a virgin - although historians note that the oldest versions of Luke did not include the statements of virgin birth as now found in Luke 2:33 and Luke 2:48 (although some Bibles have now restored the original version in their translations)2. Luke also made up the detail of the Romans instigating a census and sending people to the home towns of remote ancestors. This was not Roman policy, and although a local census did occur under Governor Quirinius it happened in 6CE, many years after Herod's death. All of Luke's insertions about singing angels, barns and mangers are not mentioned in Matthew's version of the story and it is hard to see how others would not mention them if they happened. Luke simply didn't know his facts when it came to Jesus' birth5.
Luke 21:33 states as fact that not "the least stroke" of God's Law should ever expire, and "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away", therefore Luke contradicts several other versus that state that Jesus has now abolished the old law (see Romans 3:28, 6:14, Romans 10:4, Galatians 5:18 and Colossians 2:14)6. Luke is one of those authors that wrote that the end of the world - judgment day - was to occur in the lifetimes of those alive when Jesus was alive (Luke 9:26-27), but was clearly wrong. There are minor contradictions too, which only cause a problem for those inerrantists who think every word of the Bible is the word of God. For example when Jesus sends his disciples out to preach, Luke 9:3 has Jesus tell them to take nothing whereas Mark 6:8-9 has Jesus to tell them to carry a staff.
“According to Matthew and Mark, Jesus was both tried and sentenced by the Jewish priests of the Sanhedrin. Luke has it that Jesus was [not] sentenced by them. Yet according to John, Jesus does not appear before the Sanhedrin at all.”
"The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy (1999) [Book Review]7
Luke's account of the crucifixion is unique. In Mark's gospel, written quite a while before Luke, Jesus is sombre and quiet throughout most of the proceedings; but in Luke he is instead confident and talkative; he chats to women and gives them encouragement (Luke 23:27-31), and prays out loud for the benefit of others, and the elements of sorrow and grieviances in Mark are simply missed from Luke's account. The Jesus that Luke writes about is not the same person, nor has the same attitude, as Mark's8. This difference in opinion as to how Jesus behaved on that day infuses the rest of Luke's account.
“The same shift in emphasis can be seen in the earlier portrayal of Jesus immediately before his betrayal and arrest. It is striking that in Mark's Gospel we are told that Jesus 'was greatly distressed and disturbed' (Mark 14:33). Luke doesn't say that. In Mark Jesus tells his disciples that his 'soul is terribly grieved, even unto death' (Mark 14:34). He says no such thing in Luke. In Mark Jesus goes off by himself and falls on his face to pray (14:35); in Luke he simply kneels down (Luke 22:41). In Mark Jesus asks God three times for the 'cup' to pass from before him (i.e., that he not have to face his suffering); in Luke he asks only once, and prefaces his prayer by saying, 'If you are willing'.”
"The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot" by Bart Ehrman (2006)9
At the start of the journey to Golgotha to be crucified, Luke has the Romans grab a bypasser (Simon of Cyrene) and make him carry the cross instead of Jesus, whereas in John's account Jesus carries it all the way (Luke 23:26 versus John 19:17. And what was inscribed on the cross that Simon carried? Of the four gospels, Luke's account is the only one that has the message inscribed in Latin, Greek and Hebrew (Luke 23:38).
Whilst hanging on the cross, the gospels record that the two other criminals being crucified both mocked Jesus. But Luke only has one criminal insult Jesus (the one on the left), and the other becomes a follower, and speaks not in the insulting and vulgar manner reported in the other gospels, but instead he speaks in a theologically accurate, respectful and elegant manner. The words of Luke's right-hand criminal are clearly not spoken by the two criminals reported in the other two synoptic gospels: someone (or two people) are making up conversations. And what of the most important words of all, that any friend would remember forever? Jesus' last words according to Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34, were to quote Psalm 22, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'. But in Luke 23:46, his last words were completely different: 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit'. Luke might have heard that Jesus quoted scripture upon his death, but instead of Psalm 22:1 has him quote Psalm 31:5. Luke doesn't tell us that he's unsure which verse was quoted - he states it as a fact, just as the Mark and Matthew state their accounts as fact, even though it is clear that some of them simply didn't know the truth.
Bart Ehrman makes many of the same observations:
“While being nailed to the cross Jesus is not silent in Luke. He instead prays for those who are doing this to him. 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing' (Luke 23:34). While on the cross, Jesus actually has an intelligent conversation with one of the others being crucified with him. [...] Jesus gives him the calm and reassuring words that he longs to hear: 'Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise' (Luke 23:43). Jesus in this account is calm and in control of the situation. [...] Finally, most telling of all, rather than uttering his 'cry of dereliction' ('Why have you forsaken me?'), in Luke Jesus instead breathes a final prayer: 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit' (Luke 23:46). The Jesus of Mark may have felt abandoned at the very end, even by God himself; but not the Jesus of Luke. Here Jesus feels the presence of God and the assurance that he is still with his Father, who will now receive his spirit.”
"The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot" by Bart Ehrman (2006)9
Jesus dies. Mark 15:39 and Matthew 27:54 both have the centurions say (in different ways) that "truly this man was the son of god". Luke 23:47 has it differently: "truly this man was innocent", with no mention at all of Jesus' divinity. The original version of Luke didn't have the virgin birth (as discussed above), and likewise, Luke doesn't write Jesus' final words in a way that indicate Jesus' divinity either. Also, in Roman culture the death of a god-man such as Mithras and others was accompanied by miraculous periods of worldwide darkness. Historian Dr Richard Carrier points out that "it was common lore of the time that the sun would be eclipsed at the death of a great king"10. Mark:15:33 and Matthew 27:45 both repeat that this happened for Jesus too but Luke makes it a natural darkness by saying it is an eclipse (Luke 23:45). Unfortunately, in doing so, instead of perpetuating pagan stories, he instead contradicts reality: there could be no eclipse at the time of a full moon11, and, star gazers who carefully recorded eclipses at that time did not record one.
Because of this mix of contradictions and oddities, it best not to consider the Gospel of Luke a reliable source of information on any aspect of Jesus' birth, ministry or death.

| 39 | Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. | And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind `is' the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.' | |
| 40 | And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. | And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.' | |
| 41 | There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. | `Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty; | |
| 42 | And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? | and they not having `wherewith' to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?' | |
| 43 | Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. | And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.' | |
| 44 | And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. | And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe; | |
| 45 | Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. | a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what `time' I came in, did not cease kissing my feet; | |
| 46 | My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. | with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet; | |
| 47 | Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. | therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.' | |
| 48 | And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. | And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;' | |
| 49 | And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? | and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?' | |
| 50 | And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. | and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.' |

| 4 | And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: | And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile: | |
| 5 | A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. | `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it. | |
| 6 | And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. | `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture. | |
| 7 | And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. | `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it. | |
| 8 | And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. | `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.' | |
| 9 | And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? | And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?' | |
| 10 | And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. | And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. | |
| 11 | Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. | `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, | |
| 12 | Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. | and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. | |
| 13 | They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. | `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away. | |
| 14 | And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. | `And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion. | |
| 15 | But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. | `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain `it', and bear fruit in continuance. | |
| 16 | No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. | `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put `it'; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put `it', that those coming in may see the light, | |
| 17 | For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. | for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest. | |
| 18 | Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. | `See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.' | |
| 19 | Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. | And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude, | |
| 20 | And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. | and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;' | |
| 21 | And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. | and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.' | |
| 22 | Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. | And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth, | |
| 23 | But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. | and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril. | |
| 24 | And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. | And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm, | |
| 25 | And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. | and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?' | |
| 26 | And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. | And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee, | |
| 27 | And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. | and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs, | |
| 28 | When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. | and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!' | |
| 29 | (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) | For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts. | |
| 30 | And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. | And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,) | |
| 31 | And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. | and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, | |
| 32 | And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. | and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them, | |
| 33 | Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. | and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked. | |
| 34 | When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. | And those feeding `them', having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told `it' to the city, and to the fields; | |
| 35 | Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. | and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid; | |
| 36 | They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. | and those also having seen `it', told them how the demoniac was saved. | |
| 37 | Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. | And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. | |
| 38 | Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, | And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying, | |
| 39 | Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. | `Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him. | |
| 40 | And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. | And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him, | |
| 41 | And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: | and lo, there came a man, whose name `is' Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; | |
| 42 | For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. | because he had an only daughter about twelve years `old', and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, | |
| 43 | And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, | and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any, | |
| 44 | Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. | having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood. | |
| 45 | And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? | And Jesus said, `Who `is' it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng `thee', and thou dost say, Who `is' it that touched me!' | |
| 46 | And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. | And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.' | |
| 47 | And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. | And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently; | |
| 48 | And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. | and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.' | |
| 49 | While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. | While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's `house', saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;' | |
| 50 | But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. | and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.' | |
| 51 | And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. | And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother; | |
| 52 | And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. | and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep; | |
| 53 | And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. | and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die; | |
| 54 | And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. | and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;' | |
| 55 | And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. | and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat; | |

| 39 | And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. | and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him, | |
| 40 | And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. | and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.' | |
| 41 | And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. | And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;' | |
| 42 | And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him.

| 43 | And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, | And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, | |
| 44 | Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. | `Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.' | |
| 45 | But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. | And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. | |
| 46 | Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. | And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them? | |
| 47 | And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, | and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself, | |
| 48 | And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. | and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.' | |
| 49 | And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. | And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;' | |
| 50 | And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. | and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.' | |
| 51 | And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, | And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem, | |
| 52 | And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. | and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him, | |
| 53 | And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. | and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem. | |
| 54 | And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? | And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou `that' we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?' | |
| 55 | But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. | and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are; | |
| 56 | For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. | for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village. | |
| 57 | And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. | And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;' | |
| 58 | And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. | and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.' | |
| 59 | And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. | And he said unto another, `Be following me;' and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;' | |
| 60 | Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. | and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.' | |
| 61 | And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. | And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;' | |
| 62 | And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. | and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.' |

| 6 | And they could not answer him again to these things. | and they were not able to answer him again unto these things. | |
| 7 | And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them. | And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them, | |
| 8 | When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; | `When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him, | |

| 10 | But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. | `But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee; | |
| 11 | For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. | because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.' | |
| 12 | Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. | And he said also to him who did call him, `When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee; | |
| 13 | But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: | but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind, | |
| 14 | And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. | and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.' | |

| 23 | And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. | `And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled; | |
| 24 | For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. | for I say to you, that none of those men who have been called shall taste of my supper.' | |

| 10 | And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. | and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send `him' away empty. | |

| 13 | Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. | `And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence; | |
| 14 | But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. | and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours; | |
| 15 | So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? | and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed `him'; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them? | |
| 16 | He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. | He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!' | |
| 17 | And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? | and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected -- this became head of a corner? | |
| 18 | Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. | every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.' | |

| 28 | Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. | saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless -- that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother. | |
| 29 | There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. | `There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless, | |
| 30 | And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. | and the second took the wife, and he died childless, | |
| 31 | And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. | and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven -- they left not children, and they died; | |
| 32 | Last of all the woman died also. | and last of all died also the woman: | |
| 33 | Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. | in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? -- for the seven had her as wife.' | |
| 34 | And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: | And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, | |
| 35 | But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: | but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; | |
| 36 | Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. | for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again. | |
| 37 | Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. | `And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; | |
