Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.28\00:00:19.31
I am Kelly Mowrer.
And I'll be reading today
00:00:19.34\00:00:21.56
from the King James Version.
But before we go to the word,
00:00:21.59\00:00:24.95
let's go to God in prayer.
Oh, my Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.98\00:00:30.03
for these beautiful
words that you've given to us -
00:00:30.06\00:00:32.58
words of life and hope and joy,
and comfort. And now as we open
00:00:32.61\00:00:38.05
your word together and
spend this time with You,
00:00:38.08\00:00:40.39
may these words take on new life
and new meaning for us today,
00:00:40.42\00:00:44.89
to give us strength and
give us everything we need
00:00:44.92\00:00:48.03
to bring honor and glory to your
name; to be the people that you
00:00:48.06\00:00:52.02
created us to be. We love you
and we ask all of this in the
00:00:52.05\00:00:55.27
name of Jesus. Amen. - I'm
reading from the book of Matthew
00:00:55.30\00:00:59.74
the King James Version, chapter
seventeen. And Jesus has just
00:00:59.77\00:01:03.30
taken James and Peter and John
up to the mountain. Let's begin
00:01:03.33\00:01:07.15
with verse three. - And behold,
there appeared unto them Moses
00:01:07.18\00:01:12.57
and Elias talking with him. Then
answered Peter, and said unto
00:01:12.60\00:01:17.56
Jesus, Lord, it is good for us
to be here: if thou wilt, let us
00:01:17.59\00:01:21.38
make here three tabernacles; one
for thee, and one for Moses, and
00:01:21.41\00:01:25.68
one for Elias. While he yet
spake, behold, a bright cloud
00:01:25.71\00:01:30.89
overshadowed them: and
behold a voice out of the cloud,
00:01:30.92\00:01:34.78
which said, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased;
00:01:34.81\00:01:40.07
hear ye him. And when the
disciples heard it, they fell
00:01:40.10\00:01:44.68
on their face, and were
sore afraid. And Jesus came and
00:01:44.71\00:01:49.06
touched them, and said, Arise,
and be not afraid. And when they
00:01:49.09\00:01:53.30
had lifted up their eyes, they
saw no man, save Jesus only.
00:01:53.33\00:01:57.40
And as they came down from the
mountain, Jesus charged them,
00:01:57.43\00:02:01.93
saying, Tell the vision to
no man, until the Son of man
00:02:01.96\00:02:06.11
be risen again from the dead.
And his disciples asked him,
00:02:06.14\00:02:10.53
saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come?
00:02:10.56\00:02:15.02
And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Elias truly shall
00:02:15.05\00:02:19.41
first come, and restore
all things. But I say unto you,
00:02:19.44\00:02:22.95
that Elias is come already,
and they knew him not, but have
00:02:22.98\00:02:27.99
done unto him whatsoever they
listed. Likewise shall also the
00:02:28.02\00:02:32.24
Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood
00:02:32.27\00:02:37.21
that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist. And when they were
00:02:37.24\00:02:41.16
come to the multitude,
there came to him a certain man,
00:02:41.19\00:02:43.65
kneeling down to him, and saying
Lord, have mercy on my son:
00:02:43.68\00:02:47.59
for he is lunatic, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth
00:02:47.62\00:02:51.51
into the fire, and oft into
the water. And I brought him to
00:02:51.54\00:02:55.24
thy disciples, and they
could not cure him. Then Jesus
00:02:55.27\00:02:59.72
answered and said, O faithless
and perverse generation, how
00:02:59.75\00:03:03.06
long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you?
00:03:03.09\00:03:06.31
bring him hither to me.
And Jesus rebuked the devil;
00:03:06.34\00:03:11.18
and he departed out of him: and
the child was cured from that
00:03:11.21\00:03:15.44
very hour. Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart,
00:03:15.47\00:03:20.00
and said, Why could not we cast
him out? And Jesus said unto
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.61
them, Because of your unbelief:
for verily I say unto you, If ye
00:03:24.64\00:03:29.56
have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this
00:03:29.59\00:03:33.26
mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall
00:03:33.29\00:03:36.88
remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you. Howbeit
00:03:36.91\00:03:42.20
this kind goeth not out
but by prayer and fasting.
00:03:42.23\00:03:46.02
And while they abode in Galilee,
Jesus said unto them, The Son of
00:03:46.05\00:03:51.38
man shall be betrayed into
the hands of men: And they shall
00:03:51.41\00:03:55.57
kill him, and the third
day he shall be raised again.
00:03:55.60\00:03:58.87
And they were exceeding sorry.
And when they were come to
00:03:58.90\00:04:03.18
Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter,
00:04:03.21\00:04:06.90
and said, Doth not your master
pay tribute? He saith, Yes.
00:04:06.93\00:04:11.78
And when he was come into
the house, Jesus prevented him,
00:04:11.81\00:04:14.80
saying, What thinkest thou,
Simon? of whom do the kings
00:04:14.83\00:04:18.91
of the earth take custom or
tribute? of their own children,
00:04:18.94\00:04:22.63
or of strangers? Peter
saith unto him, Of strangers.
00:04:22.66\00:04:27.14
Jesus saith unto him,
Then are the children free.
00:04:27.17\00:04:32.14
Notwithstanding, lest we should
offend them, go thou to the sea,
00:04:32.17\00:04:36.87
and cast a hook, and take up
the fish that first cometh up;
00:04:36.90\00:04:40.43
and when thou hast opened his
mouth, thou shalt find a piece
00:04:40.46\00:04:43.65
of money: that take, and
give unto them for me and thee.
00:04:43.68\00:04:48.63
- I'm reading from the book
of Matthew, chapter eighteen. -
00:04:48.66\00:04:52.89
At the same time came the
disciples unto Jesus, saying,
00:04:52.92\00:04:57.82
Who is the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven?
00:04:57.85\00:05:00.50
And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and set him in the
00:05:00.53\00:05:05.48
midst of them, And said, Verily
I say unto you, Except ye be
00:05:05.51\00:05:10.66
converted, and become as little
children, ye shall not enter
00:05:10.69\00:05:14.58
into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall
00:05:14.61\00:05:18.93
humble himself as this little
child, the same is greatest
00:05:18.96\00:05:22.89
in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such
00:05:22.92\00:05:26.76
little child in my
name receiveth me. But whoso
00:05:26.79\00:05:30.66
shall offend one of
these little ones which believe
00:05:30.69\00:05:33.78
in me, it were better for
him that a millstone were hanged
00:05:33.81\00:05:37.55
about his neck, and that
he were drowned in the depth
00:05:37.58\00:05:40.50
of the sea. Woe unto the world
because of offences! for it must
00:05:40.53\00:05:45.79
needs be that offences come;
but woe to that man by whom
00:05:45.82\00:05:50.40
the offence cometh! Wherefore
if thy hand or thy foot offend
00:05:50.43\00:05:55.02
thee, cut them off, and cast
them from thee: it is better
00:05:55.05\00:05:59.28
for thee to enter into life halt
or maimed, rather than having
00:05:59.31\00:06:03.47
two hands or two feet to
be cast into everlasting fire.
00:06:03.50\00:06:08.22
And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from
00:06:08.25\00:06:12.31
thee: it is better for thee
to enter into life with one eye,
00:06:12.34\00:06:15.74
rather than having two
eyes to be cast into hell fire.
00:06:15.77\00:06:20.51
Take heed that ye despise
not one of these little ones;
00:06:20.54\00:06:24.70
for I say unto you, That in
heaven their angels do always
00:06:24.73\00:06:29.63
behold the face of my Father
which is in heaven. For the Son
00:06:29.66\00:06:33.93
of man is come to save that
which was lost. How think ye?
00:06:33.96\00:06:38.95
if a man have an hundred sheep,
and one of them be gone astray,
00:06:38.98\00:06:42.12
doth he not leave the ninety
and nine and goeth into the
00:06:42.15\00:06:45.58
mountains, and seeketh
that which is gone astray?
00:06:45.61\00:06:48.48
And if so be that he find
it, verily I say unto you,
00:06:48.51\00:06:52.98
he rejoiceth more of that sheep,
than of the ninety and nine
00:06:53.01\00:06:57.26
which went not astray. Even
so it is not the will of your
00:06:57.29\00:07:01.93
Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should
00:07:02.27\00:07:05.70
perish. Moreover if thy brother
shall trespass against thee,
00:07:05.73\00:07:10.73
go and tell him his fault
between thee and him alone:
00:07:10.76\00:07:15.35
if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother.
00:07:15.38\00:07:18.89
But if he will not hear thee,
then take with the one or two
00:07:18.92\00:07:22.95
more, that in the mouth
of two or three witnesses
00:07:22.98\00:07:25.52
every word may be established.
00:07:25.56\00:07:27.61
And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church:
00:07:27.64\00:07:31.85
but if he neglect to hear
the church, let him be unto thee
00:07:31.88\00:07:36.21
as an heathen man and a
publican. Verily I say unto
00:07:36.24\00:07:40.72
you, Whatsoever ye shall
bind on earth shall be bound
00:07:40.75\00:07:43.89
in heaven: and whatsoever ye
shall loose on earth shall be
00:07:43.92\00:07:47.62
loosed in heaven. Again I
say unto you, That if two of you
00:07:47.65\00:07:51.81
shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that
00:07:51.84\00:07:54.90
they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of my Father
00:07:54.93\00:07:58.32
which is in heaven. For
where two or three are gathered
00:07:58.35\00:08:01.99
together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
00:08:02.02\00:08:05.63
Then came Peter unto
him and said, Lord, how oft
00:08:05.66\00:08:10.92
shall my brother sin against me
and I forgive him? till 7 times?
00:08:10.95\00:08:15.44
Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, Until seven times:
00:08:15.47\00:08:20.25
but, Until seventy times
seven. Therefore is the kingdom
00:08:20.28\00:08:25.84
of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would
00:08:25.87\00:08:29.10
take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon,
00:08:29.13\00:08:32.16
one was brought unto him, which
owed him ten thousand talents.
00:08:32.19\00:08:37.34
But forasmuch as he had not
to pay, his lord commanded him
00:08:37.37\00:08:42.26
to be sold, and his wife, and
children, and all that he had,
00:08:42.29\00:08:46.35
and payment to be made. The
servant therefore fell down,
00:08:46.38\00:08:51.04
and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me,
00:08:51.07\00:08:54.40
and I will pay thee all.
Then the lord of that servant
00:08:54.43\00:08:58.07
was moved with compassion,
and loosed him, and forgave him
00:08:58.10\00:09:02.20
the debt. But the same servant
went out, and found one of his
00:09:02.23\00:09:08.16
fellow servants, which owed him
an hundred pence: and he laid
00:09:08.19\00:09:12.07
hands on him, and took him
by the throat, saying Pay me
00:09:12.10\00:09:14.86
that thou owest. And his fellow-
servant fell down at his feet,
00:09:14.89\00:09:18.80
and besought him, saying, Have
patience with me, and I will pay
00:09:18.83\00:09:21.58
the all. And he would not: but
went and cast him into prison,
00:09:21.61\00:09:27.05
till he should pay the debt.
So when his fellow servants saw
00:09:27.08\00:09:31.18
what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto
00:09:31.21\00:09:35.14
their Lord all that was done.
Then his lord, after that he
00:09:35.17\00:09:39.74
had called him, said unto him,
O thou wicked servant, I forgave
00:09:39.77\00:09:45.45
thee all that debt, because thou
desirest me: Shouldest not thou
00:09:45.48\00:09:50.30
also have had compassion on thy
fellow-servant, even as I had
00:09:50.33\00:09:55.69
pity on thee? And his lord was
wroth, and delivered him to the
00:09:55.72\00:10:00.45
tormentors, till he should
pay all that was due unto him.
00:10:00.48\00:10:03.51
So likewise shall my heavenly
Father do also unto you,
00:10:03.54\00:10:08.20
if ye from your hearts
forgive not everyone his brother
00:10:08.23\00:10:13.78
their trespasses. - reading from
the book of Matthew, chapter 19.
00:10:13.81\00:10:19.27
And it came to pass, that when
Jesus had finished these sayings
00:10:19.30\00:10:24.06
he departed from Galilee, and
came into the coasts of Judea
00:10:24.09\00:10:27.73
beyond Jordan; and
great multitudes followed him;
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.57
and he healed them there.
The Pharisees also came unto him
00:10:30.60\00:10:34.73
tempting him, and saying unto
him, Is it lawful for a man to
00:10:34.76\00:10:38.31
put away his wife for
every cause? And he answered
00:10:38.34\00:10:41.79
and said unto them, Have ye not
read, that he which made them
00:10:41.82\00:10:45.39
at the beginning made them male
and female, And said, For this
00:10:45.42\00:10:49.12
cause shall a man leave father
and mother, and shall cleave to
00:10:49.15\00:10:52.99
his wife: and they twain shall
be one flesh. Wherefore they are
00:10:53.02\00:10:57.18
no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined
00:10:57.21\00:11:02.09
together, let not man put
asunder. They say unto him
00:11:02.12\00:11:06.71
Why did Moses then command to
give a writing of divorcement,
00:11:06.74\00:11:10.65
and to put her away? He saith
unto them, Moses because of
00:11:10.68\00:11:14.99
the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away
00:11:15.02\00:11:18.31
your wives: but from
the beginning it was not so.
00:11:18.35\00:11:21.33
And I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except
00:11:21.36\00:11:25.69
it be for fornication, and
shall marry another, committeth
00:11:25.72\00:11:29.51
adultery: and whoso marrieth her
which is put away doth commit
00:11:29.54\00:11:33.57
adultery. His disciples say
unto him, If the case of the man
00:11:33.60\00:11:38.28
be so with his wife, it is
not good to marry. But he said
00:11:38.31\00:11:42.35
unto them, All men cannot
receive this saying, save they
00:11:42.38\00:11:46.21
unto whom it is given.
For there are some eunuchs,
00:11:46.24\00:11:48.98
which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are
00:11:49.01\00:11:52.62
some eunuchs, which were made
eunuchs of men: and there be
00:11:52.65\00:11:55.87
eunuchs have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of
00:11:55.90\00:11:58.57
heaven's sake. He that is able
to receive it let him receive it
00:11:58.60\00:12:03.18
Then were there brought unto him
little children, that he should
00:12:03.21\00:12:07.49
put his hands on them, and pray:
and the disciples rebuked them.
00:12:07.52\00:12:11.60
But Jesus said, Suffer little
children, and forbid them not,
00:12:11.63\00:12:16.53
to come unto me: for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.
00:12:16.56\00:12:20.42
And he laid his hands on
them, and departed thence.
00:12:20.45\00:12:23.58
And, behold, one came and
said unto him, Good Master,
00:12:23.61\00:12:28.03
what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
00:12:28.06\00:12:32.61
And he said unto him,
Why callest thou me good?
00:12:32.64\00:12:36.68
there is none good but one,
that is God but if thou wilt
00:12:36.71\00:12:41.26
enter into life,
keep the commandments.
00:12:41.29\00:12:43.79
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus
said, thou shalt do no murder,
00:12:43.82\00:12:49.35
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt
00:12:49.38\00:12:54.06
not bear false witness.
Honor thy father and thy mother:
00:12:54.09\00:12:57.31
and Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
00:12:57.34\00:13:00.60
The young man saith unto him,
All these things have I kept
00:13:00.63\00:13:04.66
from my youth up: what
lack I yet? Jesus said unto him,
00:13:04.69\00:13:09.33
If thou wilt be perfect,
go and sell that thou hast,
00:13:09.36\00:13:12.83
and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven:
00:13:12.86\00:13:16.74
and come and follow me. But when
the young man heard that saying,
00:13:16.77\00:13:21.11
he went away sorrowful:
for he had great possessions.
00:13:21.14\00:13:24.47
Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, Verily I say unto
00:13:24.50\00:13:28.60
you, That a rich man shall
hardly enter into the kingdom
00:13:28.63\00:13:31.99
of heaven. And again I
say unto you, It is easier for
00:13:32.02\00:13:35.18
a camel to go through the eye
of a needle, than for a rich man
00:13:35.21\00:13:38.62
to enter into the kingdom of
God. When the disciples heard
00:13:38.65\00:13:43.16
it, they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then
00:13:43.19\00:13:45.78
can be saved? But Jesus
beheld them, and said unto them,
00:13:45.81\00:13:49.21
With men this is impossible;
but with God all things are
00:13:49.24\00:13:53.80
possible. Then answered
Peter and said unto him, Behold,
00:13:53.83\00:13:57.75
we have forsaken all,
and followed thee; what shall
00:13:57.78\00:14:01.14
we have therefore? And Jesus
said unto them, Verily I say
00:14:01.17\00:14:05.42
unto you, that ye which have
followed me, in the regeneration
00:14:05.45\00:14:09.15
when the Son of man shall
sit in the throne of his glory,
00:14:09.18\00:14:12.03
ye also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve
00:14:12.06\00:14:16.69
tribes of Israel. And every
one that hath forsaken houses,
00:14:16.72\00:14:20.30
or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife,
00:14:20.33\00:14:23.73
or children, or lands, for
my name's sake shall receive an
00:14:23.76\00:14:27.45
hundred fold, and shall
inherit everlasting life.
00:14:27.48\00:14:30.24
But many that are first shall
be last; and the last shall be
00:14:30.27\00:14:34.54
first. - God bless.
