Beware of false prophets, which come to you in 15 narrow is the sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather 16 grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every 17 good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot 18 bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth 19 good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say 22 to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy 3 Gr. demons. by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by 4 Gr. powers. thy name do many mighty works? And then will 23 I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Every one therefore which 24 heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the rock and the rain descended, and the floods 25 came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. And every one that heareth these words of mine, and 26 doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain 27 descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell and great was the fall thereof.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, 29 the multitudes were astonished at his teaching for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

8 And when he was come down from the mountain, 2 great multitudes followed him. And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, 3 if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his 4 leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, 18 he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And there came 2 a scribe, and said unto him, 19 3 Or, Teacher Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, 20 and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples 23 followed him. And behold, there arose a great 24 tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And 25 they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fear- 26 ful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man 27 is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

And 29

And when he was come to the other side into the 28 country of the Gadarenes, there met him two "possessed with devils, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters. And they that fed them fled, and went away 33 into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with devils. And 34

behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders.

And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and 2 came into 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, 31Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. And 1 Gr.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, 18 there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus 19 arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood 20 twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: for she said within herself, If 21 3 Or, saved I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of 22 good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
