10 lest they should throng him: for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon 1 Gr. 11 him that they might touch him. And the unclean 2 Gr. fell. spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before

20 And he cometh into a house. And the multitude See Luke vi. cometh together again, so that they could not so much 15; Acts i. 21 as eat bread. And when his friends heard it, they 7 Or, home went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is 22 beside himself. And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By 8 Or, In the prince of the devils casteth he out the devils. 23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in 24 parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot 25 stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that 26 house will not be able to stand. And if Satan hath

Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blas29 phemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: 30 because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And there come his mother and his brethren; and, 31 standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say 32 unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answereth them, and saith, 33 Who is my mother and my brethren? And looking 34 round on them which sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! For whosoever 35 shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And again he began to teach by the sea side. And 4 there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land. And he 2 taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching, Hearken: Behold, the sower 3 went forth to sow and it came to pass, as he sowed, 4 some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. And other fell on the rocky ground, 5 where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: and 6 when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And other fell 7 among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And others fell into the 8 good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. And he said, Who hath ears to 9 hear, let him hear.

And when he was alone, they that were about him 10 with the twelve asked of him the parables. And he 11 said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: that seeing they may see, 12 and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. And he saith unto them, 13 Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables? The sower soweth the word. And 14 these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh

Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been 16 sown in them. And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy; 17 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth 18 because of the word, straightway they stumble. And others are they that are sown among the thorns; 19 these are they that have heard the word, and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the 1 Or, age lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and 20 it becometh unfruitful. And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be 22 put on the stand? For there is nothing hid, save that

it should be manifested; neither was anything made 23 secret, but that it should come to light. If any man 24 hath ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you: and more shall 25 be given unto you. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man 27 should cast seed upon the earth; and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up

28 and grow, he knoweth not how. The earth 2beareth 2 Or, yieldeth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the

29 full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, 3 Or, alloweth straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the 4 Or, harvest is come.

sendeth forth

And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of 31 God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? 5 It is 5 Gr. As unto. like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds 32 that are upon the earth, yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the

birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

And with many such parables spake he the word 33 unto them, as they were able to hear it: and without 34 a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.

And on that day, when even was come, he saith 35 unto them, Let us go over unto the other side. And 36 leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and 37 the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling. And he himself was in the stern, asleep 38 on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto 1 Or, Teacher him, 1Master, carest thou not that we perish? And 39 he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are 40 ye fearful? have ye not yet faith? And they feared 41 exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

:

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the 5 country of the Gerasenes. And when he was come 2 out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his 3 dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain; because that he had 4 been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces and no man had strength to tame him. And always, night and day, in the tombs and in 5 the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. And when he saw Jesus from afar, he 6 ran and worshipped him; and crying out with a loud 7 voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not. For he said unto him, Come 8 forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man. And he 9 asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many. And he 10 besought him much that he would not send them

11 away out of the country. Now there was there on the
12 mountain side a great herd of swine feeding. And
they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine,
13 that we may enter into them. And he gave them
leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered
into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep
into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they
14 were choked in the sea. And they that fed them fled,
and told it in the city, and in the country.
And they
15 came to see what it was that had come to pass. And
they come to Jesus, and behold him that was pos- 10r,
sessed with devils sitting, clothed and in his right
mind, even him that had the legion: and they were
16 afraid. And they that saw it declared unto them how

the demoniac

it befell 1him that was possessed with devils, and con17 cerning the swine. And they began to beseech him to 18 depart from their borders. And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with 2 devils 2Gr. demons. 19 besought him that he might be with him. And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on 20 thee. And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

21

And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered 22 unto him: and he was by the sea. And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jaïrus by name; 23 and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. 3 Or, saved 24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

25

And a woman, which had an issue of blood twelve 26 years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing 27 bettered, but rather grew worse, having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, 28 and touched his garment. For she said, If I touch
