LUKE 12:5

10 of 59

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

LUKE 12:7

12 of 59

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

LUKE 12:8

13 of 59

But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

LUKE 12:9

14 of 59

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.

LUKE 12:10

15 of 59

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:

LUKE 12:15

20 of 59

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

LUKE 12:16

21 of 59

LUKE 12:17

22 of 59

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.

LUKE 12:18

23 of 59

LUKE 12:19

24 of 59

LUKE 12:21

LUKE 12:23

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?

LUKE 12:28

33 of 59

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

LUKE 12:29

34 of 59

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;

LUKE 12:45

50 of 59

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.

LUKE 12:46

51 of 59

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.

LUKE 12:47

52 of 59

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 12:48

53 of 59

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

LUKE 12:52

57 of 59

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.

LUKE 12:55

LUKE 12:57

62 of 59

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.

BIBLE CANON: 5

A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

W Biblical_canon

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.
