5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, be6 seeching him, and saying, Lord, my 1 servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously 7 tormented. And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not 2 wor-8 Or, dethy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say 3 the word, and my 1servant 9 shall be healed.

come, they brought unto him many possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick that it might be 17 fulfilled which was spoken 9 by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

Now when Jesus saw great 18 multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And there 19 came 10 a scribe, and said unto him, 11 Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, 20 The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have 12 nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of the dis- 21 ciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus saith 22 unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

And when he was entered 23 into a boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there 24 arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves:

cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the 30 time? Now there was afar off from them a herd of many 31 swine feeding. And the 2devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away in32 to the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in 33 the waters.

and crossed over, and came in- 9 Some 2 to his own city. And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; 8 thy sins are forgiven. And

behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus 4 4 knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is 5 easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know 6 that the Son of man hath 5 power on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. And he arose, and de- 7 parted to his house. But when 8 the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, which had given such 5 power

unto men.

And as Jesus passed by from 9 thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, as he 10 "sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And 11 when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your 7 Master with the publicans and sinners? But when he heard it, he said, 12 They that are 8 whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and 13 learn what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Then come to him the dis- 14 ciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast 9oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto 15 them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and

16 then will they fast. And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is 17 made. Neither do men put new wine into old 1 wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: : but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came 2 a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she 19 shall live. And Jesus arose,

and followed him, and so did 20 his disciples. And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the 21 border of his garment for she Isaid within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall 22 be 3 made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was 3 made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd 24 making a tumult, he said, Give place for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the crowd was put

And Jesus went about all 35 the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. But when 36 he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. Then 37 saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord 38 of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. And he called unto 10 him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

Now the names of the twelve 2 apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedec, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartho- 3

And Jesus an- 4 swered and said unto them, Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive 5 their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them. And blessed is he, who- 6 soever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me. And as 7 these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for 8 to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings' houses. 7 But wherefore went 9 ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of 10 whom it is written,

And 14 if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, which is to come. He that hath ears 10 to hear, 15 let him hear. But whereunto 16 shall I liken this generation?
