Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered 3 Gr. into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and 23 they launched forth. But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and 24 were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, 25 and there was a calm.

And

he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that

And when he was come forth 27 upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had devils; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs. And 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 the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not. For he com- 29 manded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For 4 oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the 5 devil into the deserts. And 30 Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many 3 devils were entered into him. And they intreated 31 him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss. Now there was there a 32 herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they intreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave. And the devils came out from 33

the man, and entered into the swine and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were choked. And when 34 they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And they went 35 out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the devils were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right

And they arrived at the country of the 2 Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

and they were afraid. And 36 they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with 3 devils was made whole. And all the people of the coun- 37

try of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned. 38 But the man from whom the 1 devils were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, 39 saying, Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And

40

he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him. 41 And behold, there came a man named Jaïrus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his 42 house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

43

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which 2 had spent all her living upon physicians, and could 44 not be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her 45 blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied,

ately. And he said unto her, 48 Daughter, thy faith hath 4 made thee whole; go in peace.

While he yet spake, there 49 cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the 5 Master. But Jesus 50 hearing it, answered him, Fear not only believe, and she shall be made whole. And 51 when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother. And all were 52 weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to 53 scorn, knowing that she was dead. But he, taking her by 54 the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise. And her spirit re- 55 turned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that something be given her to eat. And her parents were 56 amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

And he called the twelve 9 together, and gave them power and authority over all 1 devils, and to cure diseases. And he 2 sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal 7 the sick. And he said unto 3 them, Take nothing for your

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immedi

let, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. And in- 4 to whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. And as many as receive you 5 not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. And they depart- 6 ed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

Now Herod the tetrarch 7

heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen 8 from the dead; and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old 9 prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

10

And the apostles, when they 1 Gr.. were returned, declared unto recline. him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called 11 Bethsaida. But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he healed. 12 And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may 2 Or, soul go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are 13 here in a desert place. But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this 14 people. For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, 15 about fifty each. And they did 3 Or, departure so, and made them all 1 sit 16 down. And he took the five

loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before 17 the multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was praying alone, the disci

ples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am? And they answering said, John 19 the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again. And he said unto them, 20 But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God. But he charged 21 them, and commanded them to tell this to no man; saying, 22 The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. And he said unto all, If any 23 man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever would save his 24 2 life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his 2 life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man profited, 25 if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self? For 26 whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. But I tell you of a 27 truth, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about 28 eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the 29 fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling. And 30 behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah; who appeared in 31 glory, and spake of his 3 decease which he was about to

32 accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but 1 when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with 33 him. And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three 2 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not 31 knowing what he said. And

But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples, Let these words sink 44 into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men. But 45 3 Many ancient they understood not this sayauthori-ing, and it was concealed from ties read them, that they should not my beloved Son. perceive it: and they were See Matt. afraid to ask him about this saying.

while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, 36 my chosen: hear ye him.

37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a 8 Or, 38 great multitude met him.

And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not. 41 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? 42 bring hither thy son. And as he was yet a coming, the 7 devil 8 dashed him down, and 9 tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him 43 back to his father. And they

And there arose a reasoning 46 among them, which of them should be 10 greatest. But when 47 Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side, and said unto them, Whoso- 48 ever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me for he that is 11 least among you all, the same is great.

And John answered and said, 49 Master, we saw one casting out 12 devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. But Je- 50 sus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

And it came to pass, when 51 the days 13 were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent mes- 52 sengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they 53 did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. And when 54 his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them 14? But he turned, 55

56 and rebuked them1. And they went to another village.

And as they went in the 1 Some way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whi58 thersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have 2nests; but the Son of man hath not 59 where to lay his head. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my 60 father. But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom lives, but 61 of God. And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 62 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 10 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy 3 others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he him2 self was about to come. And he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye there-enter first, say fore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers

And the seventy returned 17 with joy, saying, Lord, even the 7 devils are subject unto us in thy name. And he said 18 unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you 19 authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. Howbeit in this rejoice 20 not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

In that same hour he rejoiced 21 8 in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord
