And they said, Is not this Joseph's son ? 23 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say to you, No & prophet is 6 accepted in his own 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, Itd Matt. 13.57. country. is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil taking him up upon a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 or, well received. 1 Kings 17.9. 6 And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to 2 Kings 5. whomsoever I will, I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt 1 worship me, all shall be thine. 14. 25 But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land: 26 But to none of them was Elijah sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the 7 brow of the 7 or, edge. hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them, went away, 31 And came down to Capernaum, a Matt. 7. 29.

And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the surrounding country. 38 T And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And the mother of Simon's wife was taken with a violent fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them. have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had done this, they Mark 1. 14. inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. or, to say to be 7 And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them.

And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them. 15 But so much the more a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. 17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and 1 doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and Matt. 9. 2. the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 And behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. A. D. 31. 21 And the scribes and the Phariseesd Matt. 9. 9. began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone? 22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering, said to them, What reason ye in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise and walk? 24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. 25 And immediately he arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 2 or, re- wine, immediately desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

VI. 1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Pharisees about the observation of the sabbath, by scripture, reason, and miracle: 13 chooseth twelve apostles: 17 healeth the diseased: 20 preacheth to his disciples before the people of blessings and curses; 27 how we must love our enemies; 46 and join the obedience of good works to the hearing of the word, lest in the evil day of temptation we fall like a house built upon the earth without any foun dation. AND & it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through corn-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days? 3 And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not read so much as this, what Matt. 9. 14. David did, when himself was hungry, and they who were with him; 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange Matt. 9. 17. things to-day. 27 Td And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him Follow me. 28 And he left all, arose, and followed him. 29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that 2 sat down with them. 30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 31 And Jesus answering, said to them, They that are well need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 4 How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5 And he said to them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered: 7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. a Matt. 12. 1. And he arose, and stood forth. 9 Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 10 And looking around upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was 33 And they said to him, Why do Matt. 12. 9. restored whole as other. the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? 34 And he said to them, Can ye make the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come, when the 11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, he called bride-groom shall be taken from them, Matt. 10. 1. to him his disciples: and of them he and then they will fast in those days. 36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old. 37 And no man putteth new wine into Jude 1. old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish. 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved. 39 No man also having drank old' choose twelve, whom also he named Apostles; 14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16 And Judas a the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor. 17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain; and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of 19 And the whole multitude sought to Amos 6. 1. touch him; for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: Isa. 65. 13. for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: 40 The disciple is not above his 1 master: but every one 2 that is perfect, shall be as his master. 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself be for ye shall be filled.

Woe to you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 27 But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you, 1 Cor. 6. 7.

A reed shaken with the wind? 25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they who are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 26 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 28 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned himself Matt. 11. 2. prophet than John the Baptist: but he about and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick. 11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and many people. 12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, 2 or, reign.

And he went into the Pharisee's house, and 5 sat down at table. 37 And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind Aim weeping, and began to wash his feet with ciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou & Mark 14. 3. tears, and wiped them with the hairs of he that should come? or look we for another? 20 When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in that same hour he cured 5 or, recline. 6 her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what manner of woman this is that touch many of their infirmities, and diseases, or, teacher. eth him, for she is a sinner. and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight. 22 Then Jesus answering, said to them, Go, and tell John what things yee Matt. 18. have seen and heard; that the blind see, 28. the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 40 And Jesus answering, said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee.
