And from thence he arose, and went away 24 2 Some ancient into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid. But 25 straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman 26 was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the *devil out of her daughter. And he said unto 27 her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. But she answered and 28 saith unto him, Yea, Lord: even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy 29 way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And she went away unto her house, and found 30 the child laid upon the bed, and the devil gone

And again he went out from the borders of 31 Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. And they bring unto him one that 32 was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude pri- 33 vately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; and looking up 34 to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And his ears were 35

opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, 36 and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal 37 they published it. And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto 2 them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, 3 and have nothing to eat: and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; and some of them are come from far. 4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread Gr. loaves, 5 here in a desert place? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, 6 Seven. And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. 7 And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also 8 before them. And they did eat, and were filled and they took up, of broken pieces that 9 remained over, seven baskets. And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 10 And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

And they forgot to take bread; and they 14 had not in the boat with them more than one loaf. And he charged them, saying, Take 15 heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. And they reasoned 16 Some ancient one with another, 'saying, "We have no bread. And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why 17 reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye cause we have your heart hardened? Having eyes, see ye 18 not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? When I brake the five loaves 19 among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. And when the seven among 20 the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven.

And they come unto Bethsaida. And they 22 bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him. And he took hold of the blind man 23 by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught? And he looked up, and said, I 24 see men; for I behold them as trees, walking. Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; 25 and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. And he sent him away 26 to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.

And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, 27 into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi: and in

the way he asked his disciples, saying unto 28 them, Who do men say that I am? And they told him, saying, John the Baptist and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets. 29 And he asked them, But who say ye that

I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, 30 Thou art the Christ. And he charged them 31 that they should tell no man of him. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise 32 again. And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou mindest not the things of God, 34 but the things of men. And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and 35 follow me. For whosoever would save his life 'Or, soul shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his 1life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it. 36 For what doth it profit a man, to gain the 37 whole world, and forfeit his life? For what

should a man give in exchange for his life? 38 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his 9 Father with the holy angels. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There be some here of them that stand by, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

and he was transfigured before them: and his 3
garments became glistering, exceeding white;
so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.
And there appeared unto them Elijah with 4
Moses and they were talking with Jesus.
And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, 5
it is good for us to be here: and let us make
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elijah. For he wist not 6
what to answer; for they became sore afraid,
And there came a cloud overshadowing them : 7
and there came a voice out of the cloud, This
is my beloved Son: hear ye him. And sud- 8
denly looking round about, they saw no one
any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

And as they were coming down from the 9 mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead. And they kept the saying, 10 questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean. And they 11 2 Or, How is it asked him, saying, "The scribes say that Elijah must first come.

And when they came to the disciples, they 14 saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them. And straightway all 15 the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And 16 he asked them, What question ye with them?
