"And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the 28) unclean spirits, and they obey him. "And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. 29 30 2 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. "Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him 31 of her and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32 33 8 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with devils. "And all the city was gathered together at the 34 door. "And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and he suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.5 35) And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and 36 there prayed. "And Simon and they that were with him (37 followed after him; "and they found him, and say unto 38 him, All are seeking thee.

"And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. "And he 1strictly charged him, and straight44 way sent him out, "and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses. 45 commanded, for a testimony unto them. "But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. 2 (1) And when he entered again into Capernaum after some (2 days, it was noised that he was in the house.

"And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, 13 (15 and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
