Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, 18 he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And there came la scribe, and said unto him, 19 2 Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou 2 Or, Teacher goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have 20 holes, and the birds of the heaven have 3 nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, 21 suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Je-22 sus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead. 3 Gr. lodg ing-places. 4Or, demoniacs And when he was entered into a boat, his disci- 23 ples 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 they 25 came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye 26 fearful, 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 27 manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? And when he was come to the other side into the 28 country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. And behold, they cried out, saying, What 29 have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Now 30 there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. And the demons besought him, saying, 31 If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And they 32 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, 33 and went away into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to them that were 4 possessed with demons. And behold, all the city came out 34 to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders. 9 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, 2 and 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, 1 Son, be of good cheer; thy sins 1 Gr. Child. 2 Many 3 are forgiven. And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Where- 21 5 fore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is ancient easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, authorities 6 Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the read seeing. Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and 7 take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. And 8 he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.. 9 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. Gr. re clined: and 10 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came 11 and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And so always. when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with the publicans 4 Or, Teacher 12 and sinners? But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but & Gr. strong. 13 they that are sick. But go ye and learn what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy Some an15 disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, cient auCan the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long thorities as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will omit oft. come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away 16 from them, and then will they fast.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, 18 there came 2 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, 21 If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, 22 Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus came into the 23 ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, he said, Give place: for 24 the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the crowd was put 25 forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose. And the fame hereof went forth 26 into all the land. And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind 27 men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David. And when he 28 was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, Ac-29 cording to your faith be it done unto you. And 30 6 Or, sternly their eyes were opened. And Jesus 6 strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in 31 all that land. 7 Or, In And as they went forth, behold, there was 32 brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon. And when the demon was cast out, the 33 dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the 34 Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons. 35 And Jesus went about all the cities, and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of 36 disease and all manner of sickness. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, 37 as sheep not having a shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the 38 labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 10 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John 3 his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of 4 Alphæus, and Thaddæus; Simon the 1 Cananæan, 1Or, Zealot. and Judas Iscariot, who also 2 betrayed him. See Luke vi. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, 13. saying, 15; Acts i. Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter Or, deliver him up: 6 not into any city of the Samaritans; but go rather and so 7 to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye always. go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at 8 hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, 9 freely give. Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass 10 in your purses; no wallet for your journey, Gr. girdles. neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the la11 bourer is worthy of his food. And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is 12 worthy; and there abide till ye go forth. And as 13 ye enter into the house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be 14 not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off 15 the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 16 1 Or, simple wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and 1 harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will de- 17 liver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; yea and before governors 18 and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when 19 they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, 20 but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and 21 the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and 2 cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 22 sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. But when they persecute you in 23 this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 2 Or, put them to death 3 Or, teacher 4 Gr.

If they have called the master of the house 5 Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them zebul: and so of his household! Fear them not therefore: for 26 elsewhere. there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you 27 in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops. And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but 28 are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in 'hell.

Fear not therefore; ye are of more value 31 than many sparrows. Every one therefore who shall 32 confess me before men, & him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
