"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 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and 34 one for Elijah: not knowing what he said. "And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the (35) cloud. "And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This 36 is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. "And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met (38 him. "And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Master, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he (39) is mine only child: "and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it "teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely. 40 'And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they 41) could not. "And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you. and bear with you? bring hither thy son. "And as he was yet a coming, the devil dashed him down, and 'tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. (43 'And they were all astonished at the majesty of God.

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

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

And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his 52 face to go to Jerusalem, "and sent messengers before his face and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to, make ready for him. "And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going (54 to Jerusalem. "And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to (55 come down from heaven, and consume them? "But he (56 turned, and rebuked them. "And they went to another village.

"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 (61) kingdom of God.

Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to (2) come. "And he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 3 "Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs in the 4 midst of wolves. "Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes: and salute no man on the way. "And into whatsoever house ye shall 'enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6 "And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest 7 upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again. "And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. 8 Go not from house to house. "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before "and heal the sick that are therein, and say you: unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

"Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long 14 ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. "Howbeit it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgement, than for you. "And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades. 16 "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even 18 the devils are subject unto us in thy name. "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from (19 heaven. "Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; 22 for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, 1Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal 26 life? "And he said unto him, What is written in the law? 27 how readest thou? "And he answering said, Thou shalt

love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; 28 and thy neighbour as thyself. "And he said unto him,

Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 "But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And (30 who is my neighbour? "Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and (31) beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. "And by chance a certain priest was going down that way and (32) when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

"And

in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, (33 and saw him, passed by on the other side.

"And on the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will re(36 pay thee.
