#aija1 by ,thomas ,nelson ,sons1 is used by special arrangement and with their permission4 ,,preface4 ,the four ,gospels1 each telling in its own way the story of the ,life of ,jesus1 are the rich heritage of ,christians4 ,no one of the ,gospels could be spared4 ,but in reading any one of the four we miss some of the familiar words and incidents we love4 ,almost from the days of the ,apostles there have been attempts to unite the ,gospels in a single narrative4 ,the first of these efforts1 so far as we know1 was undertaken by the devout scholar ,tatian1 soon after #agc ,a4,d4 ,his book served a useful purpose in his own and later generations1 and is now a valuable witness to the antiquity and early acceptance of our four ,gospels4 ,there have been many harmonies of the ,gospel from the second century to the present2 and they are all but indispensable to the scholar4 ,almost every minister keeps one at his elbow4 ,but these1 for the most part1 are made for purposes of scholarly comparison1 and not for general reading4 ,moreover1 they are expensive4 ,the editors of this little book have undertaken to prepare an interwoven story of the ,life of ,jesus from the four ,gospels for popular reading4 ,a booklet that may be carried in the pocket1 and may be sold1 in paper binding1 for ten cents1 has been their ambition4 ,they have been led to this undertaking by the large demand for copies of their booklet1 ,,his ,,last ,,week1 which comprises the last third of this volume1 whose use at ,easter time has brought them many requests for the complete ,gospel story1 interwoven in the same manner4 ,the work of preparation has been done by three ministers of ,oak ,park1 in suburban ,chicago1 who have shared equally the labor1 but the undertaking has the support and co-operation of the entire group of fifteen local pastors1 representing six different denominations4 ,to this larger group of brethren is due a grateful acknowledgment of sympathy and assistance4 ,the book has at least the value of an illustration in practical interdenominational co-operation4 ,in the spirit of this fine fellowship it is commended to ,christians of every name4 ,,the ,,editors ,his

him2 and without him was not anything made that hath been made4 ,in him was life2 and the life was the light of men4 ,and the light shineth in the darkness2 and the darkness apprehended it not4 ,there came a man1 sent from ,god1 whose name was ,john4 ,the same came for witness1 that he might bear witness of the light1 that all might believe through him4 ,he was not the light1 but came that he might bear witness of the light4 ,there was the true light1 even the light which lighteth every man1 coming into the world4 ,he was in the world1 and the world was made through him1 and the world knew him not4 ,he came unto his own1 and they that were his own received him not4 ,but as many as received him1 to them gave he the right to become children of ,god1 even to them that believe on his name3 who were born1 not of blood1 nor of the will of the flesh1 nor of the will of man1 but of ,god4 ,and the ,word became flesh1 and dwelt among us 7and we beheld his glory1 glory as of the only begotten from

fulness we all received1 and grace for grace4 ,for the law was given through ,moses2 grace and truth came through ,jesus ,christ4 ,no man hath seen ,god at any time2 the only begotten ,son1 who is in the bosom of the ,father1 he hath declared him4 ,,the ,,promised ,,birth ,,of ,,john ,,the ,,baptist4 ,there was in the days of ,herod1 king of ,judaea1 a certain priest named ,zacharias1 of the course of ,abijah3 and he had a wife of the daughters of ,aaron1 and her name was ,elisabeth4 ,and they were both righteous before ,god1 walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the ,lord blameless4 ,and they had no child1 because that ,elisabeth was barren1 and they both were now well stricken in years4 ,now it came to pass1 while he executed the priest's office before ,god in the order of his course1 according to the custom of the priest's office1 his lot was to enter into the temple of the ,lord and burn incense4 ,and the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense4 ,and there appeared unto him an angel of the ,lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense4 ,and ,zacharias was troubled when he saw him1 and fear fell upon him4 ,but the angel said unto him1 ,fear not1 ,zacharias3 because thy supplication is heard1 and thy wife ,elisabeth shall bear thee a son1 and thou shalt call his name ,john4 ,and thou shalt have joy and gladness2 and many shall rejoice at his birth4 ,for he shall be great in the sight of the ,lord1 and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink2 and he shall be filled with the ,holy ,spirit1 even from his mother's womb4 ,and many of the children of ,israel shall he turn unto the ,lord their ,god4 ,and he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of ,elijah1 to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children1 and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just2 to make ready for the ,lord a people prepared for him4 ,and ,zacharias said unto the angel1 ,whereby shall ,i know this8 for ,i am an old man1 and my wife well stricken in years4 ,and the angel answering said unto him1 ,i am ,gabriel1 that stand in the presence of ,god2 and ,i was sent to speak unto thee1 and to bring thee these good tidings4 ,and behold1 thou shalt be silent and not able to speak1 until the day that these things shall come to pass1 because thou believedst not my words1 which shall be fulfilled in their season4 ,and the people were waiting for ,zacharias1 and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple4 ,and when he came out1 he could not speak unto them3 and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple3 and he continued making signs unto them1 and remained dumb4 ,and it came to pass1 when the days of his ministration were fulfilled1 he departed unto his house4 ,and after these days ,elisabeth his wife conceived2 and she hid herself five months1 saying1 ,thus hath the ,lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon me1 to take away my reproach among men4 ,,the ,,angel',s ,,visit ,,to ,,mary4 ,now in the sixth month the angel ,gabriel was sent from ,god unto a city of ,galilee1 named ,nazareth1 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was ,joseph1 of the house of ,david2 and the virgin's name was ,mary4 ,and he came in unto her1 and said1 ,hail1 thou that art highly favored1 the ,lord is with thee4 ,but she was greatly troubled at the saying1 and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be4 ,and the angel said unto her1 ,fear not1 ,mary3 for thou hast found favor with ,god ,and behold1 thou shalt conceive in thy womb1 and bring forth a son1 and shalt call his name ,,jesus4 ,he shall be great1 and shall be called the ,son of the ,most ,high3 and the ,lord ,god shall give unto him the throne of his father ,david3 and he shall reign over the house of ,jacob forever2 and of his kingdom there shall be no end4 ,and ,mary said unto the angel1 ,how shall this be1 seeing ,i know not a man8 ,and the angel answered and said unto her1 ,the ,holy ,spirit shall come upon thee1 and the power of the ,most ,high shall overshadow thee3 wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the ,son of ,god4 ,and behold1 ,elisabeth thy kinswoman1 she also hath conceived a son in her old age2 and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren4 ,for no word from ,god shall be void of power4 ,and ,mary said1 ,behold1 the handmaid of the ,lord2 be it unto me according to thy word ,and the angel departed from her4 ,,mary',s ,,visit ,,to ,,her ,,cousin4 ,and ,mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste1 into a city of ,judah2 and entered into the house of ,zacharias and saluted ,elisabeth4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,elisabeth heard the salutation of ,mary1 the babe leaped in her womb2 and ,elisabeth was filled with the ,holy ,spirit2 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry1 and said1 ,blessed art thou among women1 and blessed is the fruit of thy womb4 ,and whence is this to me1 that the mother of my ,lord should come unto me8 ,for behold1 when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears1 the babe leaped in my womb for joy4 ,and blessed is she that believed2 for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the ,lord4 ,,mary',s ,,song4 ,and ,mary said1 ,my soul doth magnify the ,lord4 ,and my spirit hath rejoiced in ,god my ,saviour4 ,for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid3 ,for behold1 from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed4 ,for he that is mighty hath done to me great things2 ,and holy is his name4 ,and his mercy is unto generations and generations ,on them that fear him4 ,he hath showed strength with his arm3 ,he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart4 ,he hath put down princes from their thrones1 ,and hath exalted them of low degree4 ,the hungry he hath filled with good things2 ,and the rich he hath sent empty away4 ,he hath given help to ,israel his servant1 ,that he might remember mercy 7,as he spake unto our fathers7 ,toward ,abraham and his seed for ever4 ,and ,mary abode with her about three months1 and returned unto her house4 ,,the ,,birth ,,of ,,john ,,the ,,baptist4 ,now ,elisabeth's time was fulfilled that she should be delivered2 and she brought forth a son4 ,and her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the ,lord had magnified his mercy towards her2 and they rejoiced with her4 ,and it came to pass on the eighth day1 that they came to circumcise the child2 and they would have called him ,zacharias1 after the name of his father4 ,and his mother answered and said1 ,not so2 but he shall be called ,john4 ,and they said unto her1 ,there is none of thy kindred that is called by this name4 ,and they made signs to his father1 what he would have him called4 ,and he asked for a writing tablet1 and wrote1 saying1 ,his name is ,john4 ,and they marvelled all4 ,and his mouth was opened immediately1 and his tongue loosed1 and he spake1 blessing ,god4 ,and fear came on all that dwelt round about them3 and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of ,judaea4 ,and all that heard them laid them up in their heart1 saying1 ,what then shall this child be8 ,for the hand of the ,lord was with him4 ,,the ,,song ,,of ,,zacharias4 ,and his father ,zacharias was filled with the ,holy ,spirit1 and prophesied1 saying1 ,blessed be the ,lord the ,god of ,israel2 ,for he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people1 ,and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us ,in the house of his servant ,david 7,as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old71 ,salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us2 ,to show mercy towards our fathers4 ,and to remember his holy covenant2 ,the oath which he sware unto ,abraham our father1 ,to grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies ,should serve him without fear1 ,in holiness and righteousness before him all our days4 ,yea and thou1 child1 shalt be called the prophet of the ,most ,high3 ,for thou shalt go before the face of the ,lord to make ready his ways2 ,to give knowledge of salvation unto his people ,in the remission of their sins1 ,because of the tender mercy of our ,god1 ,whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us1 ,to shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death2 ,to guide our feet into the way of peace4 ,and the child grew1 and waxed strong in spirit1 and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto ,israel4 ,,the ,,birth ,,and ,,infancy ,,of ,,jesus ,,joseph ,,and ,,mary4 ,now the birth of ,jesus ,christ was on this wise3 ,when his mother ,mary had been betrothed to ,joseph1 before they came together she was found with child of the ,holy ,spirit4 ,and ,joseph her husband1 being a righteous man1 and not willing to make her a public example1 was minded to put her away privily4 ,but when he thought on these things1 behold1 an angel of the ,lord appeared unto him in a dream1 saying1 ,joseph1 thou son of ,david1 fear not to take unto thee ,mary thy wife3 for that which is conceived in her is of the ,holy ,spirit4 ,and she shall bring forth a son2 and thou shalt call his name ,,jesus2 for it is he that shall save his people from their sins4 ,now all this is come to pass1 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the ,lord through the prophet1 saying1 ,behold1 the virgin shall be with child1 and shall bring forth a son1 ,and they shall call his name ,immanuel2 which is1 being interpreted1 ,god with us4 ,and ,joseph arose from his sleep1 and did as the angel of the ,lord commanded him1 and took unto him his wife2 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son4 ,,the ,,birth ,,of ,,jesus4 ,now it came to pass in those days1 there went out a decree from ,caesar ,augustus1 that all the world should be enrolled4 ,this was the first enrolment made when ,quirinius was governor of ,syria4 ,and all went to enrol themselves1 every one to his own city4 ,and ,joseph also went up from ,galilee1 out of the city of ,nazareth1 into ,judaea1 to the city of ,david1 which is called ,bethlehem1 because he was of the house and family of ,david2 to enrol himself with ,mary1 who was betrothed to him1 being great with child4 ,and it came to pass1 while they were there1 the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered4 ,and she brought forth her firstborn son2 and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes1 and laid him in a manger1 because there was no room for them in the inn4 ,,the ,,angels ,,and ,,the ,,shepherds4 ,and there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field1 and keeping watch by night over their flock4 ,and an angel of the ,lord stood by them1 and the glory of the ,lord shone round about them3 and they were sore afraid4 ,and the angel said unto them1 ,be not afraid2 for behold1 ,i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people3 for there is born to you this day in the city of ,david a ,saviour1 who is ,christ the ,lord4 ,and this is the sign unto you3 ,ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes1 and lying in a manger4 ,and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising ,god1 and saying1 ,glory to ,god in the highest1 ,and on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased4 ,and it came to pass1 when the angels went away from them into heaven1 the shepherds said one to another1 ,let us now go even unto ,bethlehem1 and see this thing that is come to pass1 which the ,lord hath made known unto us4 ,and they came with haste1 and found both ,mary and ,joseph1 and the babe lying in the manger4 ,and when they saw it1 they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child4 ,and all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds4 ,but ,mary kept all these sayings1 pondering them in her heart4 ,and the shepherds returned1 glorifying and praising ,god for all the things that they had heard and seen1 even as it was spoken unto them4 ,,the ,,circumcision4 ,and when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him1 his name was called ,,jesus1 which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb4 ,,the ,,presentation ,,in ,,the ,,temple4 ,and when the days of their purification according to the law of ,moses were fulfilled1 they brought him up to ,jerusalem1 to present him to the ,lord 7as it is written in the law of the ,lord1 ,every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the ,lord71 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the ,lord1 ,a pair of turtledoves1 or two young pigeons4 ,and behold1 there was a man in ,jerusalem1 whose name was ,simeon3 and this man was righteous and devout1 looking for the consolation of ,israel3 and the ,holy ,spirit was upon him4 ,and it had been revealed unto him by the ,holy ,spirit1 that he should not see death1 before he had seen the ,lord's ,christ4 ,and he came in the ,spirit into the temple3 and when the parents brought in the child ,jesus1 that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law1 then he received him into his arms1 and blessed ,god1 and said1 ,now1 lettest thou thy servant depart1 ,lord1 ,according to thy word1 in peace2 ,for mine eyes have seen thy salvation1 ,which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples2 ,a light for revelation to the ,gentiles1 ,and the glory of thy people ,israel4 ,and his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him2 and ,simeon blessed them1 and said unto ,mary his mother1 ,behold1 this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in ,israel2 ,and for a sign which is spoken against2 ,yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul2 ,that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed4 ,and there was one ,anna1 a prophetess1 the daughter of ,phanuel1 of the tribe of ,asher 7she was of a great age1 having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity1 and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years71 who departed not from the temple1 worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day4 ,and coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto ,god1 and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of ,jerusalem4 ,,the ,,visit ,,of ,,the ,,wise ,,men4 ,now when ,jesus was born in ,bethlehem of ,judaea in the days of ,herod the king1 behold1 ,wise-men from the east came to ,jerusalem1 saying1 ,where is he that is born ,king of the ,jews8 for we saw his star in the east1 and are come to worship him4 ,and when ,herod the king heard it1 he was troubled1 and all ,jerusalem with him4 ,and gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people1 he inquired of them where the ,christ should be born4 ,and they said unto him1 ,in ,bethlehem of ,judaea3 for thus it is written through the prophet1 ',and thou ,bethlehem1 land of ,judah1 ,art in no wise least among the princes of ,judah3 ,for out of thee shall come forth a governor1 ,who shall be shepherd of my people ,israel4' ,then ,herod privily called the ,wise-men1 and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared4 ,and he sent them to ,bethlehem1 and said1 ,go and search out exactly concerning the young child2 and when ye have found him1 bring me word1 that ,i also may come and worship him4 ,and they1 having heard the king1 went their way2 and lo1 the star1 which they saw in the east1 went before them1 till it came and stood over where the young child was4 ,and when they saw the star1 they rejoiced with exceeding great joy4 ,and they came into the house and saw the young child with ,mary his mother2 and they fell down and worshipped him2 and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts1 gold and frankincense and myrrh4 ,and being warned of ,god in a dream that they should not return to ,herod1 they departed into their own country another way4 ,,the ,,flight ,,into ,,egypt4 ,now when they were departed1 behold1 an angel of the ,lord appeareth to ,joseph in a dream1 saying1 ,arise and take the young child and his mother1 and flee into ,egypt1 and be thou there until ,i tell thee3 for ,herod will seek the young child to destroy him4 ,he arose and took the young child and his mother by night1 and departed into ,egypt2 and was there until the death of ,herod3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the ,lord through the prophet1 saying1 ,out of ,egypt did ,i call my son4 ,then ,herod1 when he saw that he was mocked of the ,wise-men1 was exceeding wroth1 and sent forth1 and slew all the male children that were in ,bethlehem1 and in all the borders thereof1 from two years old and under1 according to the time which he had exactly learned of the ,wise-men4 ,then was fulfilled that which was spoken through ,jeremiah the prophet1 saying1 ,a voice was heard in ,ramah1 ,weeping and great mourning1 ,rachel weeping for her children2 ,and she would not be comforted1 because they are not4 ,,the ,,life ,,in ,,nazareth ,,the ,,return ,,to ,,nazareth4 ,but when ,herod was dead1 behold1 an angel of the ,lord appeareth in a dream to ,joseph in ,egypt1 saying1 ,arise and take the young child and his mother1 and go into the land of ,israel3 for they are dead that sought the young child's life4 ,and he arose and took the young child and his mother1 and came into the land of ,israel4 ,but when he heard that ,archelaus was reigning over ,judaea in the room of his father ,herod1 he was afraid to go thither3 and being warned of ,god in a dream1 he withdrew into the parts of ,galilee1 and came and dwelt in their own city ,nazareth2 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets1 that he should be called a ,nazarene4 ,and the child grew1 and waxed strong1 filled with wisdom3 and the grace of ,god was upon him4 ,,the ,,boyhood ,,visit ,,to ,,jerusalem4 ,and his parents went every year to ,jerusalem at the feast of the passover4 ,and when he was twelve years old1 they went up after the custom of the feast2 and when they had fulfilled the days1 as they were returning1 the boy ,jesus tarried behind in ,jerusalem2 and his parents knew it not2 but supposing him to be in the company1 they went a day's journey3 and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance3 and when they found him not1 they returned to ,jerusalem1 seeking for him4 ,and it came to pass1 after three days they found him in the temple1 sitting in the midst of the teachers1 both hearing them1 and asking them questions3 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers4 ,and when they saw him1 they were astonished2 and his mother said unto him1 ,son1 why hast thou thus dealt with us8 behold1 thy father and ,i sought thee sorrowing4 ,and he said unto them1 ,how is it that ye sought me8 knew ye not that ,i must be in my ,father's house8 ,and they understood not the saying which he spake unto them4 ,,the ,,eighteen ,,silent ,,years4 ,and he went down with them1 and came to ,nazareth2 and he was subject unto them3 and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart4 ,and ,jesus advanced in wisdom and stature1 and in favor with ,god and men4 ,,the ,,beginnings ,,of ,,his ,,ministry 99 99 99 99 99 ,,jesus ,,and ,,john ,,the ,,baptist ,,the ,,voice ,,in ,,the ,,wilderness4 ,now in the fifteenth year of the reign of ,tiberius ,caesar1 ,pontius ,pilate being governor of ,judaea1 and ,herod being tetrarch of ,galilee1 and his brother ,philip tetrarch of the region of ,ituraea and ,trachonitis1 and ,lysanias tetrarch of ,abilene1 in the high-priesthood of ,annas and ,caiaphas1 the word of ,god came unto ,john the son of ,zacharias in the wilderness4 ,and ,john was clothed with camel's hair1 and had a leathern girdle about his loins1 and did eat locusts and wild honey4 ,and he came into all the region round about the ,jordan1 preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins2 and saying1 ,repent ye2 for the kingdom of heaven is at hand4 ,for this is he that was spoken of by ,isaiah the prophet1 saying1 ,the voice of one crying in the wilderness1 ,make ye ready the way of the ,lord1 ,make his paths straight4 ,every valley shall be filled1 ,and every mountain and hill shall be brought low2 ,and the crooked shall become straight1 ,and the rough ways smooth2 ,and all flesh shall see the salvation of ,god4 ,and there went out to him all the country of ,judaea1 and all they of ,jerusalem1 and they were baptized of him in the river ,jordan1 confessing their sins4 ,but when he saw many of the ,pharisees and ,sadducees coming to his baptism he said unto them1 ,ye offspring of vipers1 who warned you to flee from the wrath to come8 ,bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance1 and begin not to say within yourselves1 ',we have ,abraham to our father'3 for ,i say unto you1 that ,god is able of these stones to raise up children unto ,abraham4 ,and even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees3 every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down1 and cast into the fire4 ,and the multitudes asked him1 saying1 ,what then must we do8 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,he that hath two coats1 let him impart to him that hath none2 and he that hath food1 let him do likewise4 ,and there came also publicans to be baptized1 and they said unto him1 ,teacher1 what must we do8 ,and he said unto them1 ,extort no more than that which is appointed you4 ,and soldiers also asked him1 saying1 ,and we1 what must we do8 ,and he said unto them1 ,extort from no man by violence1 neither accuse any one wrongfully2 and be content with your wages4 ,and as the people were in expectation1 and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning ,john1 whether haply he were the ,christ2 ,john answered1 saying unto them all1 ,i indeed baptize you with water2 but there cometh he that is mightier than ,i1 the latchet of whose shoes ,i am not worthy to unloose3 he shall baptize you in the ,holy ,spirit and in fire3 whose fan is in his hand1 thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor1 and to gather the wheat into his garner2 but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire4 ,with many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people4 ,,the ,,baptism ,,of ,,jesus4 ,and it came to pass in those days1 when all the people were baptized1 that ,jesus came from ,nazareth of ,galilee to the ,jordan unto ,john1 to be baptized of him4 ,but ,john would have hindered him1 saying1 ,i have need to be baptized of thee1 and comest thou to me8 ,but ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,suffer it now3 for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness4 ,then he suffereth him4 ,and ,jesus1 when he was baptized1 went up straightway from the water2 and lo1 the heavens were opened unto him1 and he saw the ,spirit of ,god descending as a dove1 and coming upon him2 and lo1 a voice out of the heavens1 saying1 ,this is my beloved ,son1 in whom ,i am well pleased4 ,,the ,,temptation ,,in ,,the ,,wilderness4 ,then straightway was ,jesus led up of the ,spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil1 and he was with the wild beasts1 and did eat nothing in those days4 ,and when he had fasted forty days and forty nights1 he afterward hungered4 ,and the tempter came and said unto him1 ,if thou art the ,son of ,god1 command that these stones become bread4 ,but he answered and said1 ,it is written1 ',man shall not live by bread alone1 but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of ,god4' ,then the devil taketh him into the holy city2 and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple1 and saith unto him1 ,if thou art the ,son of ,god1 cast thyself down3 for it is written1 ',he shall give his angels charge concerning thee1 to guard thee4' and1 ',on their hands they shall bear thee up1 ,lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone4' ,jesus said unto him1 ,again it is written1 ',thou shalt not make trial of the ,lord thy ,god4' ,again1 the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain1 and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time1 and the glory of them4 ,and the devil said unto him1 ,to thee will ,i give all this authority1 and the glory of them3 for it hath been delivered unto me2 and to whomsoever ,i will ,i give it4 ,if thou therefore wilt worship before me1 it shall all be thine4 ,then saith ,jesus unto him1 ,get thee hence1 ,satan3 for it is written4 ',thou shalt worship the ,lord thy ,god1 and him only shalt thou serve4' ,and when the devil had completed every temptation1 he departed from him for a season2 and behold1 angels came and ministered unto him4 ,,john',s ,,testimony ,,to ,,jesus4 ,and this is the witness of ,john1 when the ,jews sent unto him from ,jerusalem priests and ,levites to ask him1 ,who art thou8 ,and he confessed and denied not2 and he confessed1 ,i am not the ,christ4 ,and they asked him1 ,what then8 ,art thou ,elijah8 ,and he saith1 ,i am not4 ,art thou the prophet8 ,and he answered ,no4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,who art thou8 that we may give an answer to them that sent us8 ,what sayest thou of thyself8 ,he said1 ,i am the voice of one crying in the wilderness1 ',make straight the way of the ,lord1' as said ,isaiah the prophet4 ,and they had been sent from the ,pharisees4 ,and they asked him1 and said unto him1 ,why then baptizest thou1 if thou art not the ,christ1 neither ,elijah1 neither the prophet4 ,john answered them1 saying1 ,i baptize in water3 in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not1 even he that cometh after me1 the latchet of whose shoe ,i am not worthy to unloose4 ,these things were done in ,bethany beyond the ,jordan1 where ,john was baptizing4 ,on the morrow he seeth ,jesus coming unto him1 and saith1 ,behold1 the ,lamb of ,god1 that taketh away the sin of the world6 ,this is he of whom ,i said1 ',after me cometh a man who is become before me3 for he was before me4' ,and ,i knew him not2 but that he should be made manifest to ,israel1 for this cause came ,i baptizing in water4 ,and ,john bare witness1 saying1 ,i have beheld the ,spirit descending as a dove out of heaven2 and it abode upon him4 ,and ,i knew him not3 but he that sent me to baptize in water1 he said unto me1 ',upon whomsoever thou shalt see the ,spirit descending1 and abiding upon him1 the same is he that baptizeth in the ,holy ,spirit4' ,and ,i have seen1 and have borne witness that this is the ,son of ,god4 ,,the ,,beginnings ,,of ,,faith ,,the ,,first ,,disciples ,,by ,,the ,,jordan4 ,again on the morrow ,john was standing1 and two of his disciples2 and he looked upon ,jesus as he walked and saith1 ,behold1 the ,lamb of ,god6 ,and the two disciples heard him speak1 and they followed ,jesus4 ,and ,jesus turned1 and beheld them following1 and saith unto them1 ,what seek ye8 ,and they said unto him1 ,rabbi 7which is to say1 being interpreted1 ,teacher71 where abidest thou8 ,he saith unto them1 ,come1 and ye shall see4 ,they came therefore and saw where he abode2 and they abode with him that day3 it was about the tenth hour4 ,one of the two that heard ,john speak1 and followed him1 was ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's brother4 ,he findeth first his own brother ,simon1 and saith unto him1 ,we have found the ,messiah 7which is1 being interpreted1 ,christ74 ,he brought him unto ,jesus4 ,jesus looked upon him1 and said1 ,thou art ,simon the son of ,john3 thou shalt be called ,cephas 7which is by interpretation1 ,peter74 ,on the morrow he was minded to go forth into ,galilee1 and he findeth ,philip3 and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,follow me4 ,now ,philip was from ,bethsaida1 of the city of ,andrew and ,peter4 ,philip findeth ,nathanael1 and saith unto him1 ,we have found him1 of whom ,moses in the law and the prophets1 wrote1 ,jesus of ,nazareth1 the son of ,joseph4 ,and ,nathanael said unto him4 ,can any good thing come out of ,nazareth8 ,philip saith unto him1 ,come and see4 ,jesus saw ,nathanael coming to him1 and saith of him1 ,behold1 an ,israelite indeed1 in whom is no guile6 ,nathanael saith unto him1 ,whence knowest thou me8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,before ,philip called thee1 when thou wast under the fig tree1 ,i saw thee4 ,nathanael answered him1 ,rabbi1 thou art the ,son of ,god2 thou art ,king of ,israel4 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,because ,i said unto thee1 ',i saw thee underneath the fig tree1' believest thou8 thou shalt see greater things than these4 ,and he saith unto him1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,ye shall see the heaven opened1 and the angels of ,god ascending and descending upon the ,son of man4 ,,the ,,first ,,miracle4 ,and the third day there was a marriage in ,cana of ,galilee2 and the mother of ,jesus was there3 and ,jesus also was bidden1 and his disciples1 to the marriage4 ,and when the wine failed1 the mother of ,jesus saith unto him1 ,they have no wine4 ,and ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 what have ,i to do with thee8 mine hour is not yet come4 ,his mother saith unto the servants1 ,whatsoever he saith unto you1 do it4 ,now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the ,jews' manner of purifying1 containing two or three firkins apiece4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,fill the waterpots with water4 ,and they filled them up to the brim4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,draw out now1 and bear unto the ruler of the feast4 ,and they bare it4 ,and when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine1 and knew not whence it was 7but the servants that had drawn the water knew71 the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom1 and saith unto him1 ,every man setteth on first the good wine2 and when men have drunk freely1 then that which is worse3 thou hast kept the good wine until now4 ,this beginning of his signs did ,jesus in ,cana of ,galilee1 and manifested his glory2 and his disciples believed on him4 ,after this he went down to ,capernaum1 he1 and his mother1 and his brethren1 and his disciples2 and there they abode not many days4 ,,jesus ,,in ,,jerusalem ,,cleansing ,,his ,,father',s ,,house4 ,and the passover of the ,jews was at hand1 and ,jesus went up to ,jerusalem4 ,and he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves1 and the changers of money sitting3 and he made a scourge of cords1 and cast all out of the temple1 both the sheep and the oxen2 and he poured out the changers' money1 and overthrew their tables2 and to them that sold the doves he said1 ,take these things hence2 make not my ,father's house a house of merchandise4 ,his disciples remembered that it was written1 ,zeal for thy house shall eat me up4 ,the ,jews therefore answered and said unto him1 ,what sign showest thou unto us1 seeing that thou doest these things8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,destroy this temple1 and in three days ,i will raise it up4 ,the ,jews therefore said1 ,forty and six years was this temple in building1 and wilt thou raise it up in three days8 ,but he spake of the temple of his body4 ,when therefore he was raised from the dead1 his disciples remembered that he spake thus2 and they believed the scripture1 and the word which ,jesus had said4 ,,the ,,visit ,,of ,,nicodemus4 ,now when he was in ,jerusalem at the passover1 during the feast1 many believed on his name1 beholding his signs which he did4 ,but ,jesus did not trust himself unto them1 for that he knew all men1 and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man2 for he himself knew what was in man4 ,now there was a man of the ,pharisees1 named ,nicodemus1 ruler of the ,jews2 the same came unto him by night1 and said to him1 ,rabbi1 we know that thou art a teacher come from ,god2 for no one can do these signs that thou doest1 except ,god be with him4 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except one be born anew1 he cannot see the kingdom of ,god4 ,nicodemus saith unto him1 ,how can a man be born when he is old8 can he enter a second time into his mother's womb1 and be born8 ,jesus answered1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except one be born of water and the ,spirit1 he cannot enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,that which is born of the flesh is flesh3 and that which is born of the ,spirit is spirit4 ,marvel not that ,i said unto thee1 ',ye must be born anew4' ,the wind bloweth where it will1 and thou hearest the voice thereof1 but knowest not whence it cometh1 and whither it goeth2 so is every one that is born of the ,spirit4 ,nicodemus answered and said unto him1 ,how can these things be8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,art thou the teacher of ,israel1 and understandest not these things8 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,we speak that which we know1 and bear witness of that which we have seen2 and ye receive not our witness4 ,if ,i told you earthly things and ye believe not1 how shall ye believe if ,i tell you heavenly things8 ,and no one hath ascended into heaven but he that descended out of heaven1 even the ,son of man1 who is in heaven4 ,and as ,moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the ,son of man be lifted up2 that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life4 ,for ,god so loved the world1 that he gave his only begotten ,son1 that whosoever believeth on him should not perish1 but have eternal life4 ,for ,god sent not the ,son into the world to judge the world2 but that the world should be saved through him4 ,he that believeth on him is not judged3 he that believeth not hath been judged already1 because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten ,son of ,god4 ,and this is the judgment1 that the light is come into the world1 and men loved the darkness rather than the light2 for their works were evil4 ,for every one that doeth evil hateth the light1 and cometh not to the light1 lest his works should be reproved4 ,but he that doeth the truth cometh to the light1 that his works may be made manifest1 that they have been wrought in ,god4 ,,preparatory ,,preaching ,,jesus ,,baptizing ,,and ,,preaching4 ,after these things came ,jesus and his disciples into the land of ,judaea2 and there he tarried with them1 and baptized 7although ,jesus himself baptized not1 but his disciples74 ,and ,john also was baptizing in ,a,enon near to ,salim1 because there was much water there3 and they came1 and were baptized4 ,for ,john was not yet cast into prison4 ,and ,jesus himself1 when he began to teach1 was about thirty years of age4 ,,john',s ,,tribute ,,to ,,jesus4 ,there arose therefore a questioning on the part of ,john's disciples with a ,jew about purifying4 ,and they came unto ,john1 and said to him1 ,rabbi1 he that was with thee beyond the ,jordan1 to whom thou hast borne witness1 behold1 the same baptizeth1 and all men come to him4 ,john answered and said1 ,a man can receive nothing1 except it have been given him from heaven4 ,ye yourselves bear me witness1 that ,i said1 ,i am not the ,christ1 but1 that ,i am sent before him4 ,he that hath the bride is the bridegroom3 but the friend of the bridegroom1 that standeth and heareth him1 rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice3 this my joy therefore is made full4 ,he must increase1 but ,i must decrease4 ,he that cometh from above is above all3 he that is of the earth is of the earth1 and of the earth he speaketh3 he that cometh from heaven is above all4 ,what he hath seen and heard1 of that he beareth witness2 and no man receiveth his witness4 ,he that hath received his witness hath set his seal to this1 that ,god is true4 ,for he whom ,god hath sent speaketh the words of ,god3 for he giveth not the ,spirit by measure4 ,the ,father loveth the ,son1 and hath given all things into his hand4 ,he that believeth on the ,son hath eternal life2 but he that obeyeth not the ,son shall not see life1 but the wrath of ,god abideth on him4 ,,at ,,jacob',s ,,well4 ,when therefore the ,lord knew that the ,pharisees had heard that ,jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than ,john1 he left ,judaea1 and departed again into ,galilee4 ,and he must needs pass through ,samaria4 ,so he cometh to a city of ,samaria1 called ,sychar1 near to the parcel of ground that ,jacob gave to his son ,joseph3 and ,jacob's well was there4 ,jesus therefore1 being wearied with his journey1 sat thus by the well4 ,it was about the sixth hour4 ,there cometh a woman of ,samaria to draw water3 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,give me to drink4 ,for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food4 ,the ,samaritan woman therefore saith unto him1 ,how is it that thou1 being a ,jew1 askest drink of me1 who am a ,samaritan woman8 7for ,jews have no dealings with ,samaritans74 ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,if thou knewest the gift of ,god1 and who it is that saith to thee1 ',give me to drink' thou wouldest have asked of him1 and he would have given thee living water4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,sir1 thou hast nothing to draw with1 and the well is deep2 whence then hast thou that living water8 ,art thou greater than our father ,jacob1 who gave us the well1 and drank thereof himself1 and his sons1 and his cattle8 ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again2 but whosoever drinketh of the water that ,i shall give him shall never thirst2 but the water that ,i shall give him shall become in him a well of water1 springing up unto eternal life4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,sir1 give me this water1 that ,i thirst not1 neither come all the way hither to draw4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,go1 call thy husband1 and come hither4 ,the woman answered and said unto him1 ,i have no husband4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,thou saidst well1 ,i have no husband3 for thou hast had five husbands2 and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband3 this hast thou said truly4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,sir1 ,i perceive that thou art a prophet4 ,our fathers worshipped in this mountain2 and ye say1 that in ,jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 believe me1 the hour cometh1 when neither in this mountain1 nor in ,jerusalem1 shall ye worship the ,father4 ,ye worship that which ye know not3 we worship that which we know2 for salvation is from the ,jews4 ,but the hour cometh1 and now is1 when the true worshippers shall worship the ,father in spirit and truth3 for such doth the ,father seek to be his worshippers4 ,god is a ,spirit3 and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,i know that ,messiah cometh 7he that is called ,christ73 when he is come1 he will declare unto us all things4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,i that speak unto thee am he4 ,,preaching ,,to ,,the ,,samaritans4 ,and upon this came his disciples2 and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman2 yet no man said1 ,what seekest thou8 or1 ,why speakest thou with her8 ,so the woman left her waterpot1 and went away into the city1 and saith to the people1 ,come1 see a man1 who told me all things that ever ,i did3 can this be the ,christ8 ,they went out of the city1 and were coming to him4 ,in the mean while the disciples prayed him1 saying1 ,rabbi1 eat4 ,but he said unto them1 ,i have meat to eat that ye know not4 ,the disciples therefore said one to another1 ,hath any man brought him aught to eat8 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,my meat is to do the will of him that sent me1 and to accomplish his work4 ,say not ye1 ',there are yet four months1 and then cometh the harvest'8 behold1 ,i say unto you1 ,lift up your eyes and look on the fields1 that they are white already unto harvest4 ,he that reapeth receiveth wages1 and gathereth fruit unto life eternal2 that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together4 ,for herein is the saying true1 ,one soweth1 and another reapeth4 ,i sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored3 others have labored and ye are entered into their labor4 ,and from that city many of the ,samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman1 who testified1 ,he told me all things that ever ,i did4 ,so when the ,samaritans came unto him1 they besought him to abide with them3 and he abode there two days4 ,and many more believed because of his word2 and they said to the woman1 ,now we believe1 not because of thy speaking3 for we have heard for ourselves1 and know that this is indeed the ,saviour of the world4 ,,his ,,year ,,of ,,popularity 99 99 99 99 99 ,,jesus ,,in ,,galilee ,,john ,,the ,,baptist ,,imprisoned4 ,herod the tetrarch sent forth and laid hold upon ,john1 and bound him in prison for the sake of ,herodias1 his brother ,philip's wife2 for he had married her4 ,for ,john said unto ,herod1 ,it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife4 ,and ,herodias set herself against him1 and desired to kill him3 and she could not2 for ,herod feared ,john1 knowing that he was a righteous and holy man1 and kept him safe4 ,and when he would have put him to death1 he feared the multitude1 because they counted him as a prophet4 ,,reception ,,of ,,jesus ,,by ,,the ,,galilaeans4 ,now when ,jesus heard that ,john was delivered up1 he returned in the power of the ,spirit into ,galilee1 and the ,galilaeans received him1 having seen all the things that he did in ,jerusalem at the feast3 for they also went unto the feast4 ,and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about4 ,and he taught in their synagogues1 preaching the gospel of ,god1 and saying1 ,the time is fulfilled1 and the kingdom of ,god is at hand3 repent ye1 and believe in the gospel4 ,,healing ,,the ,,nobleman',s ,,son4 ,he came therefore again unto ,cana of ,galilee1 where he made the water wine4 ,and there was a certain nobleman1 whose son was sick at ,capernaum4 ,when he heard that ,jesus was come out of ,judaea into ,galilee1 he went unto him1 and besought him that he would come down1 and heal his son2 for he was at the point of death4 ,jesus therefore said unto him1 ,except ye see signs and wonders1 ye will in no wise believe4 ,the nobleman saith unto him1 ,sir1 come down ere my child die4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,go thy way2 thy son liveth4 ,the man believed the word that ,jesus spake unto him1 and he went his way4 ,and as he was now going down1 his servants met him1 saying that his son lived4 ,so he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him4 ,so the father knew that it was at that hour in which ,jesus said unto him1 ,thy son liveth3 and himself believed1 and his whole house4 ,this is again the second sign that ,jesus did1 having come out of ,judaea into ,galilee4 ,,the ,,recall ,,of ,,the ,,fishermen4 ,and he came down to ,capernaum1 a city of ,galilee1 which is by the sea1 in the borders of ,zebulun and ,naphtali3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through ,isaiah the prophet1 saying1 ,the land of ,zebulun and the land of ,naphtali1 ,toward the sea1 beyond the ,jordan1 ,galilee of the ,gentiles1 ,the people that sat in darkness ,saw a great light1 ,and to them that sat in the region and shadow of death1 ,to them did light spring up4 ,now it came to pass1 while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of ,god1 that he was standing by the lake of ,gennesaret2 and he saw two boats standing by the lake3 but the fishermen had gone out of them1 and were washing their nets4 ,and he entered into one of the boats1 which was ,simon's1 and asked him to put out a little from the land4 ,and he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat4 ,and when he had left speaking1 he said unto ,simon1 ,put out into the deep1 and let down your nets for a draught4 ,and ,simon answered and said1 ,master1 we toiled all night1 and took nothing3 but at thy word ,i will let down the nets4 ,and when they had done this1 they inclosed a great multitude of fishes2 and their nets were breaking2 and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat1 that they should come and help them4 ,and they came1 and filled both the boats1 so that they began to sink4 ,but ,simon ,peter1 when he saw it1 fell down at ,jesus' knees1 saying1 ,depart from me2 for ,i am a sinful man1 ,o ,lord6 ,for he was amazed1 and all that were with him1 at the draught of the fishes which they had taken2 and so were also ,james and ,john1 sons of ,zebedee1 who were partners with ,simon4 ,and ,jesus said unto ,simon1 ,fear not2 from henceforth thou shalt catch men4 ,and when they had brought their boats to land1 they left all1 and followed him4 ,a ,,day ,,of ,,good ,,deeds ,,in ,,capernaum4 ,and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught4 ,and they were astonished at his teaching3 for his word was with authority4 ,and in the synagogue there was a man1 that had a spirit of an unclean demon2 and he cried out with a loud voice1 ,ah6 what have we to do with thee1 ,jesus thou ,nazarene8 art thou come to destroy us8 ,i know thee who thou art1 the ,holy ,one of ,god6 ,and ,jesus rebuked him1 saying1 ,hold thy peace1 and come out of him4 ,and when the demon had thrown him down in the midst1 tearing him and crying out with a loud voice1 he came out of him1 having done him no hurt4 ,and amazement came upon all1 and they spake together1 one with another1 saying1 ,what is this word8 for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits1 and they come out4 ,and there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region of ,galilee round about4 ,and he rose up from the synagogue1 and entered into the house of ,simon4 ,and ,simon's wife's mother was holden with a great fever2 and they besought him for her4 ,and he stood over her1 and rebuked the fever2 and it left her3 and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them4 ,and at even1 when the sun did set1 they brought unto him all that were sick1 and them that were possessed with demons4 ,and all the city was gathered together at the door4 ,and he cast out many demons with a word1 and he suffered not the demons to speak1 because they knew that he was the ,christ4 ,and he laid his hands on every one of them1 and healed all that were sick of divers diseases2 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through ,isaiah the prophet1 saying1 ,himself took our infirmities1 and bare our diseases4 ,,the ,,first ,,leper ,,healed4 ,and in the morning1 a great while before day1 he rose up and went out1 and departed into a desert place1 and there prayed4 ,and ,simon and they that were with him followed after him2 and they found him1 and say unto him1 ,all are seeking thee4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,let us go elsewhere into the next towns1 that ,i may preach there also2 for to this end came ,i forth4 ,and he went into their synagogues throughout all ,galilee1 preaching and casting out demons4 ,and it came to pass1 while he was in one of the cities1 there cometh to him a man full of leprosy1 beseeching him1 and kneeling down to him1 and saying unto him1 ,lord1 if thou wilt1 thou canst make me clean4 ,and being moved with compassion1 he stretched forth his hand1 and touched him1 and saith unto him1 ,i will2 be thou made clean4 ,and straightway the leprosy departed from him1 and he was made clean4 ,and he strictly charged him1 and straightway sent him out1 and saith unto him1 ,see thou say nothing to any man3 but go show thyself to the priest1 and offer for thy cleansing the things which ,moses commanded1 for a testimony unto them4 ,but he went out1 and began to publish it much1 and to spread abroad the matter1 insomuch that ,jesus could no more openly enter into a city1 but withdrew himself to desert places and prayed3 and they came to him from every quarter to hear and to be healed of their infirmities4 ,and the power of the ,lord was with him to heal4 ,,beginnings ,,of ,,controversy ,,the ,,healing ,,of ,a ,,paralytic4 ,and when he entered again into ,capernaum after some days1 it was noised that he was in the house4 ,and many were gathered together1 so that there was no longer room for them1 no1 not even about the door2 and he spake the word unto them4 ,and they come1 bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy1 borne of four4 ,and when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd1 they went up to the housetop1 and uncovered the roof where he was3 and when they had broken it up1 they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay4 ,and ,jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy1 ,son1 thy sins are forgiven4 ,but there were certain of the scribes sitting there1 and reasoning in their hearts1 ,why doth this man thus speak8 he blasphemeth3 who can forgive sins but one1 even ,god8 ,and straightway ,jesus1 perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves1 saith unto them1 ,why reason ye these things in your hearts8 ,which is easier1 to say to the sick of the palsy1 ',thy sins are forgiven1' or to say1 ',arise1 and take up thy bed1 and walk8' ,but that ye may know that the ,son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins 7he saith to the sick of the palsy71 ',i say unto thee1 ,arise1 take up thy bed1 and go unto thy house4' ,and he arose1 and straightway took up the bed1 and went forth before them all2 insomuch that they were all amazed1 and were filled with fear1 and glorified ,god1 saying1 ,we never saw it on this fashion3 we have seen strange things to-day4 ,,the ,,publican ,,disciple4 ,and ,jesus went forth again by the sea side2 and all the multitude resorted unto him1 and he taught them4 ,and as he passed by1 he saw a man1 called ,levi ,matthew1 the son of ,alphaeus1 sitting at the place of toll1 and he saith unto him1 ,follow me4 ,and he forsook all1 and arose and followed him4 ,and ,levi made him a great feast in his house4 ,and there was a great multitude of publicans and sinners that were sitting at meat with ,jesus and his disciples4 ,and when the ,pharisees saw it1 they said unto his disciples1 ,why eateth your ,teacher with the publicans and sinners8 ,but when he heard it1 he said1 ,they that are whole have no need of a physician1 but they that are sick4 ,but go ye and learn what this meaneth1 ',i desire mercy1 and not sacrifice'3 for ,i came not to call the righteous1 but sinners4 ,,the ,,old ,,and ,,the ,,new4 ,and ,john's disciples and the ,pharisees were fasting1 and they come and say unto him1 ,the disciples of ,john fast often1 and make supplications2 likewise also the disciples of the ,pharisees2 but thine eat and drink4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast1 while the bridegroom is with them8 ,but the days will come2 and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them1 then will they fast in those days4 ,and he spake also a parable unto them3 ,no man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment2 else he will rend the new1 and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old4 ,and no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins2 else the new wine will burst the skins1 and itself will be spilled1 and the skins will perish4 ,but new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins4 ,and no man having drunk old wine desireth new2 for he saith1 ,the old is good4 ,a ,,sabbath ,,healing ,,in ,,jerusalem4 ,after these things there was a feast of the ,jews2 and ,jesus went up to ,jerusalem4 ,now there is in ,jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool1 which is called in ,hebrew ,bethesda1 having five porches4 ,in these lay a multitude of them that were sick1 blind1 halt1 withered4 ,and a certain man was there1 who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity4 ,when ,jesus saw him lying1 and knew that he had been now a long time in that case1 he saith unto him1 ,wouldest thou be made whole8 ,the sick man answered him1 ,sir1 ,i have no man1 when the water is troubled1 to put me into the pool3 but while ,i am coming1 another steppeth down before me4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,arise1 take up thy bed1 and walk4 ,and straightway the man was made whole1 and took up his bed and walked4 ,now it was the sabbath on that day4 ,so the ,jews said unto him that was cured1 ,it is the sabbath1 and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed4 ,but he answered them1 ,he that made me whole1 the same said unto me1 ',take up thy bed1 and walk4' ,they asked him1 ,who is the man that said unto thee1 ',take up thy bed1 and walk'8 ,but he that was healed knew not who it was2 for ,jesus had conveyed himself away1 a multitude being in the place4 ,afterward ,jesus findeth him in the temple1 and said unto him1 ,behold1 thou art made whole3 sin no more1 lest a worse thing befall thee4 ,the man went away1 and told the ,jews that it was ,jesus who had made him whole4 ,and for this cause the ,jews persecuted ,jesus1 because he did these things on the sabbath4 ,but ,jesus answered them1 ,my ,father worketh even until now1 and ,i work4 ,for this cause therefore the ,jews sought the more to kill him1 because he not only brake the sabbath1 but also called ,god his own ,father1 making himself equal with ,god4 ,jesus therefore answered and said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the ,son can do nothing of himself1 but what he seeth the ,father doing3 for what things soever he doeth1 these the ,son also doeth in like manner4 ,for the ,father loveth the ,son1 and showeth him all things that himself doeth3 and greater works than these will he show him1 that ye may marvel4 ,for as the ,father raiseth the dead and giveth them life1 even so the ,son also giveth life to whom he will4 ,for neither doth the ,father judge any man1 but he hath given all judgment unto the ,son2 that all may honor the ,son1 even as they honor the ,father4 ,he that honoreth not the ,son honoreth not the ,father that sent him4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that heareth my word1 and believeth him that sent me1 hath eternal life1 and cometh not into judgment1 but hath passed out of death into life4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the hour cometh1 and now is1 when the dead shall hear the voice of the ,son of ,god2 and they that hear shall live4 ,for as the ,father hath life in himself1 even so gave he to the ,son also to have life in himself3 and he gave him authority to execute judgment1 because he is a son of man4 ,marvel not at this3 for the hour cometh1 in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice1 and shall come forth2 they that have done good1 unto the resurrection of life2 and they that have done evil1 unto the resurrection of judgment4 ,i can of myself do nothing3 as ,i hear1 ,i judge3 and my judgment is righteous2 because ,i seek not mine own will1 but the will of him that sent me4 ,if ,i bear witness of myself1 my witness is not true4 ,it is another that beareth witness of me2 and ,i know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true4 ,ye have sent unto ,john1 and he hath borne witness unto the truth4 ,but the witness which ,i receive is not from man3 howbeit ,i say these things1 that ye may be saved4 ,he was the lamp that burneth and shineth2 and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light4 ,but the witness which ,i have is greater than that of ,john2 for the works which the ,father hath given me to accomplish1 the very works that ,i do1 bear witness of me1 that the ,father hath sent me4 ,and the ,father that sent me1 he hath borne witness of me4 ,ye have neither heard his voice at any time1 nor seen his form4 ,and ye have not his word abiding in you3 for whom he sent1 him ye believe not4 ,ye search the scriptures1 because ye think that in them ye have eternal life2 and these are they which bear witness of me2 and ye will not come to me1 that ye may have life4 ,i receive not glory from men4 ,but ,i know you1 that ye have not the love of ,god in yourselves4 ,i am come in my ,father's name1 and ye receive me not3 if another shall come in his own name1 him ye will receive4 ,how can ye believe1 who receive glory one of another1 and the glory that cometh from the only ,god ye seek not8 ,think not that ,i will accuse you to the ,father3 there is one that accuseth you1 even ,moses1 on whom ye have set your hope4 ,for if ye believed ,moses1 ye would believe me2 for he wrote of me4 ,but if ye believe not his writings1 how shall ye believe my words8 ,,plucking ,,grain ,,on ,,the ,,sabbath4 ,at that season ,jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields2 and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat1 rubbing them in their hands4 ,but the ,pharisees1 when they saw it1 said unto him1 ,behold1 thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath4 ,but he said unto them1 ,have ye not read what ,david did1 when he had need and was hungry1 and they that were with him3 how he entered into the house of ,god1 and ate the showbread1 which it was not lawful for him to eat1 neither for them that were with him1 but only for the priests8 ,or have ye not read in the law1 that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath1 and are guiltless8 ,but ,i say unto you1 that one greater than the temple is here4 ,but if ye had known what this meaneth1 ',i desire mercy1 and not sacrifice1' ye would not have condemned the guiltless4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the sabbath was made for man1 and not man for the sabbath3 so that the ,son of man is lord even of the sabbath4 ,,many ,,called ,,and ,,few ,,chosen ,a ,,multitude ,,of ,,disciples4 ,and the report of him went forth into all ,syria3 and they brought unto him all that were sick1 holden with divers diseases and torments1 possessed with demons1 and epileptic1 and palsied2 and he healed them4 ,and ,jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea3 and a great multitude from ,galilee followed2 and from ,judaea1 and from ,jerusalem1 and from ,idumaea1 and beyond the ,jordan1 and about ,tyre and ,sidon1 a great multitude1 hearing what great things he did1 came unto him4 ,and he spake to his disciples1 that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd1 lest they should throng him3 for he had healed many2 insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him3 for power came forth from him1 and healed them all4 ,and the unclean spirits1 whensoever they beheld him1 fell down before him1 and cried1 saying1 ,thou art the ,son of ,god4 ,and he charged them much that they should not make him known3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through ,isaiah the prophet1 saying1 ,behold my servant whom ,i have chosen2 ,my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased2 ,i will put my ,spirit upon him1 ,and he shall declare judgment to the ,gentiles4 ,he shall not strive1 nor cry aloud2 ,neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets4 ,a bruised reed shall he not break4 ,and smoking flax shall he not quench4 ,till he send forth judgment unto victory4 ,and in his name shall the nations hope4 ,,selection ,,of ,,the ,,twelve4 ,and it came to pass in these days1 that he went out into the mountain to pray2 and he continued all night in prayer to ,god4 ,and when it was day1 he called his disciples2 and he chose from them twelve1 that they might be with him1 and that he might send them forth to preach1 and to have authority to cast out demons4 ,now the names of the twelve apostles are these3 ,simon1 whom he surnamed ,peter1 and ,andrew1 his brother2 ,james1 the son of ,zebedee1 and ,john his brother1 and them he surnamed ,boanerges1 which is sons of thunder2 ,philip and ,bartholomew2 ,thomas and ,matthew the publican2 ,james the son of ,alphaeus1 and ,thaddaeus2 ,simon1 who was called the ,zealot1 and ,judas ,iscariot1 who became a traitor4 ,,the ,,teaching ,,of ,,the ,,kingdom ,,the ,,citizens ,,of ,,the ,,kingdom4 ,and he lifted up his eyes on his disciples1 and said3 ,blessed are the poor in spirit3 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven4 ,blessed are they that mourn3 for they shall be comforted4 ,blessed are the meek3 for they shall inherit the earth4 ,blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness3 for they shall be filled4 ,blessed are the merciful3 for they shall obtain mercy4 ,blessed are the pure in heart3 for they shall see ,god4 ,blessed are the peacemakers3 for they shall be called sons of ,god4 ,blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake3 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven4 ,blessed are ye when men shall reproach you1 and persecute you1 and say all manner of evil against you falsely1 for my sake4 ,rejoice1 and be exceeding glad3 for great is your reward in heaven3 for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you4 ,ye are the salt of the earth3 but if the salt have lost its savor1 wherewith shall it be salted8 it is thenceforth good for nothing1 but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men4 ,ye are the light of the world4 ,a city set on a hill cannot be hid4 ,neither do men light a lamp1 and put it under the bushel1 but on the stand2 and it shineth unto all that are in the house4 ,even so let your light shine before men2 that they may see your good works1 and glorify your ,father who is in heaven4 ,,the ,,righteousness ,,of ,,the ,,kingdom4 ,think not that ,i came to destroy the law or the prophets3 ,i came not to destroy1 but to fulfil4 ,for verily ,i say unto you1 ,till heaven and earth pass away1 one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law1 till all things be accomplished4 ,whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments1 and shall teach men so1 shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven3 but whosoever shall do and teach them1 he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven4 ,for ,i say unto you1 that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and ,pharisees1 ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven4 ,ye have heard that it was said to them of old time1 ',thou shalt not kill2 and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment3' but ,i say unto you1 that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment2 and whosoever shall say to his brother1 ',raca1' shall be in danger of the council2 and whosoever shall say1 ',thou fool1' shall be in danger of the hell of fire4 ,if therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar1 and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee1 leave there thy gift before the altar1 and go thy way1 first be reconciled to thy brother1 and then come and offer thy gift4 ,agree with thine adversary quickly1 while thou art with him in the way2 lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge1 and the judge deliver thee to the officer1 and thou be cast into prison4 ,verily ,i say unto thee1 ,thou shalt by no means come out thence1 till thou have paid the last farthing4 ,ye have heard that it was said1 ',thou shalt not commit adultery3' but ,i say unto you1 that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart4 ,and if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble1 pluck it out1 and cast it from thee3 for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish1 and not thy whole body be cast into hell4 ,and if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble1 cut it off1 and cast it from thee3 for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish1 and not thy whole body go into hell4 ,it was said also1 ',whosoever shall put away his wife1 let him give her a writing of divorcement3' but ,i say unto you1 that every one that putteth away his wife1 saving for the cause of fornication1 maketh her an adulteress3 and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery4 ,again1 ye have heard that it was said to them of old time1 ',thou shalt not forswear thyself1 but shalt perform unto the ,lord thine oaths3' but ,i say unto you1 ,swear not at all2 neither by the heaven1 for it is the throne of ,god2 nor by the earth1 for it is the footstool of his feet2 nor by ,jerusalem1 for it is the city of the great ,king4 ,neither shalt thou swear by thy head1 for thou canst not make one hair white or black4 ,but let your speech be1 ',yea1 yea2 ,nay1 nay3' and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one4 ,ye have heard that it was said1 ',an eye for an eye1 and a tooth for a tooth3' but ,i say unto you1 ,resist not him that is evil3 but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek1 turn to him the other also4 ,and if any man would go to law with thee1 and take away thy coat1 let him have thy cloak also4 ,and whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile1 go with him two4 ,give to every one that asketh thee2 and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again1 and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away4 ,all things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you1 even so do ye also unto them3 for this is the law and the prophets4 ,ye have heard that it was said1 ',thou shalt love thy neighbor1 and hate thine enemy3' but ,i say unto you1 ,love your enemies1 do good to them that hate you1 bless them that curse you1 pray for them that despitefully use you1 that ye may be sons of your ,father who is in heaven3 for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good1 and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust4 ,for if ye love them that love you1 what reward have ye8 do not even the publicans the same8 ,and if ye salute your brethren only1 what do ye more than others8 do not even the ,gentiles the same8 ,and if ye do good to them that do good to you1 what thank have ye8 for even sinners do the same4 ,and if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive1 what thank have ye8 even sinners lend to sinners1 to receive again as much4 ,but love your enemies1 and do them good1 and lend1 never despairing2 and your reward shall be great1 and ye shall be sons of the ,most ,high3 for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil4 ,ye therefore shall be perfect1 as your heavenly ,father is perfect4 ,,the ,,danger ,,of ,,hypocrisy4 ,take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men1 to be seen of them3 else ye have no reward with your ,father who is in heaven4 ,when therefore thou doest alms1 sound not a trumpet before thee1 as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets1 that they may have glory of men4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have received their reward4 ,but when thou doest alms1 let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth3 that thine alms may be in secret3 and thy ,father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee4 ,and when ye pray1 ye shall not be as the hypocrites3 for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets1 that they may be seen of men4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have received their reward4 ,but thou1 when thou prayest1 enter into thine inner chamber1 and having shut thy door1 pray to thy ,father who is in secret1 and thy ,father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee4 ,and in praying use not vain repetitions1 as the ,gentiles do3 for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking4 ,be not therefore like unto them3 for your ,father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him4 ,after this manner therefore pray ye3 ,our ,father who art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy name4 ,thy kingdom come4 ,thy will be done1 as in heaven1 so on earth4 ,give us this day our daily bread4 ,and forgive us our debts1 as we also have forgiven our debtors4 ,and bring us not into temptation1 but deliver us from evil4 ,for if ye forgive men their trespasses1 your heavenly ,father will also forgive you4 ,but if ye forgive not men their trespasses1 neither will your ,father forgive your trespasses4 ,moreover when ye fast1 be not1 as the hypocrites1 of a sad countenance3 for they disfigure their faces1 that they may be seen of men to fast4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have received their reward4 ,but thou1 when thou fastest1 anoint thy head1 and wash thy face2 that thou be not seen of men to fast1 but of thy ,father who is in secret3 and thy ,father1 who seeth in secret1 shall recompense thee4 ,,simple ,,trust ,,in ,,god4 ,lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth1 where moth and rust consume1 and where thieves break through and steal3 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven1 where neither moth nor rust doth consume1 and where thieves do not break through nor steal3 for where thy treasure is1 there will thy heart be also4 ,the lamp of the body is the eye3 if therefore thine eye be single1 thy whole body shall be full of light4 ,but if thine eye be evil1 thy whole body shall be full of darkness4 ,if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness1 how great is the darkness6 ,no man can serve two masters3 for either he will hate the one1 and love the other2 or else he will hold to one1 and despise the other4 ,ye cannot serve ,god and mammon4 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,be not anxious for your life1 what ye shall eat1 or what ye shall drink2 nor yet for your body1 what ye shall put on4 ,is not the life more than the food1 and the body than the raiment8 ,behold the birds of the heaven1 that they sow not1 neither do they reap1 nor gather into barns2 and your heavenly ,father feedeth them4 ,are not ye of much more value than they8 ,and which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life8 ,and why are ye anxious concerning raiment8 ,consider the lilies of the field1 how they grow2 they toil not1 neither do they spin3 yet ,i say unto you1 that even ,solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these4 ,but if ,god doth so clothe the grass of the field1 which to-day is1 and to-morrow is cast into the oven1 shall he not much more clothe you1 ,o ye of little faith8 ,be not therefore anxious1 saying1 ',what shall we eat8' or1 ',what shall we drink8' or1 ',wherewithal shall we be clothed8' ,for after all these things do the ,gentiles seek2 for your heavenly ,father knoweth that ye have need of all these things4 ,but seek ye first his kingdom1 and his righteousness2 and all these things shall be added unto you4 ,fear not1 little flock2 for it is your ,father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom4 ,be not therefore anxious for the morrow3 for the morrow will be anxious for itself4 ,sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof4 ,,charitable ,,judgment4 ,be ye merciful1 even as your ,father is merciful4 ,and judge not1 and ye shall not be judged3 and condemn not1 and ye shall not be condemned3 release1 and ye shall be released3 give1 and it shall be given unto you2 good measure1 pressed down1 shaken together1 running over1 shall they give into your bosom4 ,for with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again4 ,and he spake also a parable unto them1 ,can the blind guide the blind8 shall they not both fall into a pit8 ,the disciple is not above his teacher3 but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher4 ,and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye1 but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye8 ,or how canst thou say to thy brother1 ',brother1 let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye1' when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye8 ,thou hypocrite1 cast out first the beam out of thine own eye1 and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye4 ,give not that which is holy unto the dogs1 neither cast your pearls before the swine1 lest haply they trample them under their feet1 and turn and rend you4 ,,prayer4 ,and he said unto them1 ,which of you shall have a friend1 and shall go unto him at midnight1 and say to him1 ',friend1 lend me three loaves2 for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey1 and ,i have nothing to set before him2' and he from within shall answer and say1 ',trouble me not3 the door is now shut1 and my children are with me in bed2 ,i cannot rise and give thee8' ,i say unto you1 ,though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend1 yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,ask1 and it shall be given you2 seek1 and ye shall find2 knock1 and it shall be opened unto you3 for every one that asketh receiveth2 and he that seeketh findeth2 and to him that knocketh it shall be opened4 ,or what man is there of you that is a father1 who1 if his son shall ask him for a loaf1 will give him a stone2 or if he shall ask for a fish1 will give him a serpent2 or if he shall ask an egg1 will give him a scorpion8 ,if ye then1 being evil1 know how to give good gifts unto your children1 how much more shall your ,father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him8 ,,sincerity4 ,enter ye in by the narrow gate3 for wide is the gate1 and broad is the way1 that leadeth to destruction1 and many are they that enter in thereby4 ,for narrow is the gate1 and straitened the way1 that leadeth unto life1 and few are they that find it4 ,beware of false prophets1 who come to you in sheep's clothing1 but inwardly are ravening wolves4 ,by their fruits ye shall know them4 ,do men gather grapes of thorns1 or figs of thistles8 ,even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit2 but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit4 ,a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit1 neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit4 ,every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down1 and cast into the fire4 ,therefore by their fruits ye shall know them4 ,the good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good2 and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil3 for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh4 ,not every one that saith unto me1 ',lord1 ,lord1' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven2 but he that doeth the will of my ,father who is in heaven4 ,many will say to me in that day1 ',lord1 ,lord1 did we not prophesy by thy name1 and by thy name cast out demons1 and by thy name do many mighty works8' ,and then will ,i profess unto them1 ,i never knew you3 depart from me1 ye that work iniquity4 ,every one therefore that heareth these words of mine1 and doeth them1 shall be likened unto a wise man1 who built his house upon the rock3 and the rain descended1 and the floods came1 and the winds blew1 and beat upon that house2 and it fell not3 for it was founded upon the rock4 ,and every one that heareth these words of mine1 and doeth them not1 shall be likened unto a foolish man1 who built his house upon the sand3 and the rain descended1 and the floods came1 and the winds blew1 and smote upon that house2 and it fell3 and great was the fall thereof4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,jesus had finished these words1 the multitudes were astonished at his teaching3 for he taught them as one having authority1 and not as their scribes4 ,a ,,tour ,,in ,,galilee ,,the ,,worthy ,,centurion4 ,after he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people1 he entered into ,capernaum4 ,and a certain centurion's servant1 who was dear unto him1 was sick and at the point of death4 ,and when he heard concerning ,jesus1 he sent unto him elders of the ,jews1 asking him that he would come and save his servant4 ,and they1 when they came to ,jesus1 besought him earnestly1 saying1 ,he is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him2 for he loveth our nation1 and himself built us our synagogue4 ,and ,jesus went with them4 ,and when he was now not far from the house1 the centurion sent friends to him1 saying unto him1 ,lord1 trouble not thyself2 for ,i am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof3 wherefore neither thought ,i myself worthy to come unto thee3 but say the word1 and my servant shall be healed4 ,for ,i also am a man set under authority1 having under myself soldiers3 and ,i say to this one1 ',go1' and he goeth2 and to another1 ',come1' and he cometh2 and to my servant1 ',do this1' and he doeth it4 ,and when ,jesus heard these things1 he marvelled at him1 and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,i have not found so great faith1 no1 not in ,israel4 ,and ,i say unto you1 that many shall come from the east and the west1 and shall sit down with ,abraham1 and ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 in the kingdom of heaven3 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness3 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4 ,and they that were sent1 returning to the house1 found the servant whole4 ,,raising ,,the ,,widow',s ,,son4 ,and it came to pass soon afterwards1 that he went to a city called ,nain2 and his disciples went with him1 and a great multitude4 ,now when he drew near to the gate of the city1 behold1 there was carried out one that was dead1 the only son of his mother1 and she was a widow3 and much people of the city was with her4 ,and when the ,lord saw her1 he had compassion on her1 and said unto her1 ,weep not4 ,and he came nigh and touched the bier3 and the bearers stood still4 ,and he said1 ,young man1 ,i say unto thee1 ,arise4 ,and he that was dead sat up1 and began to speak4 ,and he gave him to his mother4 ,and fear took hold on all3 and they glorified ,god1 saying1 ,a great prophet is arisen among us3 and1 ,god hath visited his people4 ,and this report went forth concerning him in the whole of ,judaea1 and all the region round about4 ,a ,,question ,,from ,,john ,,the ,,baptist4 ,and the disciples of ,john told him in the prison of all these things4 ,and ,john calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the ,lord1 saying1 ,art thou he that cometh1 or look we for another8 ,and when the men were come unto him1 they said1 ,john the ,baptist hath sent us unto thee1 saying1 ',art thou he that cometh1 or look we for another8' ,in that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits2 and on many that were blind he bestowed sight4 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,go and tell ,john the things which ye have seen and heard2 the blind receive their sight1 the lame walk1 the lepers are cleansed1 and the deaf hear1 the dead are raised up1 the poor have good tidings preached to them4 ,and blessed is he1 whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me4 ,,jesus' ,,estimate ,,of ,,john ,,the ,,baptist4 ,and when the messengers of ,john were departed1 he began to say unto the multitudes concerning ,john1 ,what went ye out into the wilderness to behold8 a reed shaken with the wind8 ,but what went ye out to see8 a man clothed in soft raiment8 ,behold1 they that are gorgeously apparelled1 and live delicately1 are in kings' courts4 ,but what went ye out to see8 a prophet8 ,yea1 ,i say unto you1 and much more than a prophet4 ,this is he of whom it is written4 ',behold1 ,i send my messenger before thy face1 ,who shall prepare thy way before thee4' ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than ,john the ,baptist3 yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he4 ,and all the people when they heard1 and the publicans1 justified ,god1 being baptized with the baptism of ,john4 ,but the ,pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of ,god1 being not baptized of him4 ,and from the days of ,john the ,baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence1 and men of violence take it by force4 ,for all the prophets and the law prophesied until ,john4 ,and if ye are willing to receive it1 this is ,elijah that is to come4 ,he that hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,but whereunto shall ,i liken this generation8 ,it is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces1 who call unto their fellows and say1 ',we piped unto you1 and ye did not dance2 we wailed1 and ye did not mourn4' ,for ,john came neither eating nor drinking1 and they say1 ',he hath a demon4' ,the ,son of man came eating and drinking1 and they say1 ',behold1 a gluttonous man and a winebibber1 a friend of publicans and sinners6' ,and wisdom is justified of all her children4 ,,the ,,death ,,of ,,john ,,the ,,baptist4 ,and ,herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords1 and the high captains1 and the chief men of ,galilee4 ,and the daughter of ,herodias danced in the midst1 and pleased ,herod1 and them that sat at meat with him2 and the king said unto the damsel1 ,ask of me whatsoever thou wilt1 and ,i will give it thee4 ,and he sware unto her1 ,whatsoever thou shalt ask of me1 ,i will give it to thee1 unto the half of my kingdom4 ,and she went out1 and said unto her mother1 ,what shall ,i ask8 ,and she said1 ,the head of ,john the ,baptist4 ,and she came in straightway with haste unto the king1 and asked1 saying1 ,i will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of ,john the ,baptist4 ,and the king was exceeding sorry2 but for the sake of his oaths1 and of them that sat at meat1 he would not reject her4 ,and straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard1 and commanded to bring his head3 and he went and beheaded him in the prison1 and brought his head on a platter1 and gave it to the damsel2 and the damsel gave it to her mother4 ,and when his disciples heard thereof1 they came and took up his corpse1 and laid it in a tomb2 and they went and told ,jesus4 ,,forgiveness ,,of ,,the ,,repentant ,,woman4 ,and one of the ,pharisees desired him that he would eat with him4 ,and he entered into the ,pharisee's house1 and sat down to meat4 ,and behold1 a woman who was in the city1 a sinner2 and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the ,pharisee's house1 she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment1 and standing behind at his feet1 weeping1 she began to wet his feet with her tears1 and wiped them with the hair of her head1 and kissed his feet1 and anointed them with the ointment4 ,now when the ,pharisee that had bidden him saw it1 he spake within himself1 saying1 ,this man1 if he were a prophet1 would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him1 that she is a sinner4 ,and ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,simon1 ,i have somewhat to say unto thee4 ,and he saith1 ,teacher1 say on4 ,a certain lender had two debtors3 the one owed five hundred shillings1 and the other fifty4 ,when they had not wherewith to pay1 he forgave them both4 ,which of them therefore will love him most8 ,simon answered and said1 ,he1 ,i suppose1 to whom he forgave the most4 ,and he said unto him1 ,thou hast rightly judged4 ,and turning to the woman1 he said unto ,simon1 ,seest thou this woman8 ,i entered into thy house1 thou gavest me no water for my feet3 but she hath wetted my feet with her tears1 and wiped them with her hair4 ,thou gavest me no kiss3 but she1 since the time ,i came in1 hath not ceased to kiss my feet4 ,my head with oil thou didst not anoint3 but she hath anointed my feet with ointment4 ,wherefore ,i say unto thee1 ,her sins1 which are many1 are forgiven2 for she loved much3 but to whom little is forgiven1 the same loveth little4 ,and he said unto her1 ,thy sins are forgiven4 ,and they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves1 ,who is this that even forgiveth sins8 ,and he said unto the woman1 ,thy faith hath saved thee2 go in peace4 ,,the ,,ministering ,,women4 ,and it came to pass soon afterwards1 that he went about through cities and villages1 preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of ,god1 and with him the twelve1 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities3 ,mary that was called ,magdalene1 from whom seven demons had gone out1 and ,joanna the wife of ,chuzas ,herod's steward1 and ,susanna1 and many others1 who ministered unto them of their substance4 ,,growing ,,popularity ,,and ,,rising ,,opposition ,,the ,,concern ,,of ,,jesus' ,,friends4 ,and he cometh into a house4 ,and the multitude cometh together again1 so that they could not so much as eat bread4 ,and when his friends heard it1 they went out to lay hold on him3 for they said1 ,he is beside himself4 ,and there came to him his mother and brethren1 and they could not come at him for the crowd4 ,and it was told him1 ,thy mother and thy brethren stand without1 desiring to see thee4 ,but he answered and said unto him that told him1 ,who is my mother8 and who are my brethren8 ,and he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples1 and said1 ,behold1 my mother and my brethren6 ,for whosoever shall do the will of my ,father who is in heaven1 he is my brother1 and sister1 and mother4 ,,warning ,,of ,,eternal ,,sin4 ,then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon1 blind and dumb3 and he healed him1 insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw4 ,and all the multitudes were amazed1 and said1 ,can this be the son of ,david8 ,but when the ,pharisees heard it1 and the scribes that came down from ,jerusalem1 they said1 ,this man doth not cast out demons1 but by ,beelzebub the prince of the demons4 ,and knowing their thoughts he said unto them1 ,every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation2 and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand3 and if ,satan casteth out ,satan1 he is divided against himself2 how then shall his kingdom stand8 ,and if ,i by ,beelzebub cast out demons1 by whom do your sons cast them out8 therefore shall they be your judges4 ,but if ,i by the ,spirit of ,god cast out demons1 then is the kingdom of ,god come upon you4 ,when the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court1 his goods are in peace3 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him1 and overcome him1 he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted1 and divideth his spoils4 ,he that is not with me is against me2 and he that gathereth not with me scattereth4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,all their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men1 and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme3 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the ,holy ,spirit hath never forgiveness1 but is guilty of an eternal sin3 because they said1 ,he hath an unclean spirit4 ,either make the tree good1 and its fruit good2 or make the tree corrupt1 and its fruit corrupt3 for the tree is known by its fruit4 ,ye offspring of vipers1 how can ye1 being evil1 speak good things8 for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh4 ,the good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things3 and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things4 ,and ,i say unto you1 that every idle word that men shall speak1 they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment4 ,for by thy words thou shalt be justified1 and by thy words thou shalt be condemned4 ,,the ,,demand ,,for ,a ,,sign4 ,then certain of the scribes and ,pharisees answered him1 saying1 ,teacher1 we would see a sign from thee4 ,but he answered and said unto them1 ,an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign2 and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of ,jonah the prophet2 for even as ,jonah became a sign unto the ,ninevites1 so shall also the ,son of man be to this generation4 ,the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation1 and shall condemn them3 for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of ,solomon2 and behold1 a greater than ,solomon is here4 ,the men of ,nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation1 and shall condemn it3 for they repented at the preaching of ,jonah2 and behold1 a greater than ,jonah is here4 ,but the unclean spirit1 when he is gone out of the man1 passeth through waterless places1 seeking rest1 and findeth it not4 ,then he saith1 ',i will return into my house whence ,i came out2' and when he is come1 he findeth it empty1 swept1 and garnished4 ,then goeth he1 and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself1 and they enter in and dwell there3 and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first4 ,even so shall it be also unto this evil generation4 ,and it came to pass1 as he said these things1 a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice1 and said unto him1 ,blessed is the womb that bare thee1 and the breasts which thou didst suck4 ,but he said1 ,yea rather1 blessed are they that hear the word of ,god and keep it4 ,,the ,,parables ,,of ,,the ,,kingdom ,,the ,,sower4 ,on that day went ,jesus out of the house1 and sat by the sea side4 ,and there were gathered unto him great multitudes1 so that he entered into a boat1 and sat2 and all the multitude stood on the beach4 ,and he spake to them many things in parables1 saying1 ,hearken3 ,behold1 the sower went forth to sow3 and it came to pass1 as he sowed1 some seed fell by the wayside1 and the birds came and devoured it4 ,and other fell on the rocky ground1 where it had not much earth2 and straightway it sprang up1 because it had no deepness of earth3 and when the sun was risen1 it was scorched2 and because it had no root1 it withered away4 ,and other fell among the thorns1 and the thorns grew up1 and choked it1 and it yielded no fruit4 ,and others fell into the good ground1 and yielded fruit1 growing up and increasing2 and brought forth1 thirtyfold1 and sixtyfold1 and a hundredfold4 ,and he said1 ,who hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,and when he was alone1 they that were about him with the twelve came1 and said unto him1 ,why speakest thou unto them in parables8 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven1 but to them it is not given4 ,for whosoever hath1 to him shall be given1 and he shall have abundance3 but whosoever hath not1 from him shall be taken away even that which he hath4 ,therefore speak ,i to them in parables2 because seeing they see not1 and hearing they hear not1 neither do they understand4 ,and unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of ,isaiah1 which saith1 ',by hearing ye shall hear1 and shall in no wise understand2 ,and seeing ye shall see1 and shall in no wise perceive2 ,for this people's heart is waxed gross1 ,and their ears are dull of hearing1 ,and their eyes they have closed2 ,lest haply they should perceive with their eyes4 ,and hear with their ears1 ,and understand with their heart1 ,and should turn again1 ,and ,i should heal them4' ,but blessed are your eyes1 for they see2 and your ears1 for they hear4 ,for verily ,i say unto you1 that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see1 and saw them not2 and to hear the things which ye hear1 and heard them not4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,know ye not this parable8 and how1 shall ye know all the parables8 ,the sower soweth the word4 ,the seed is the word of ,god4 ,when any one heareth the word of the kingdom1 and understandeth it not1 then cometh the evil one1 and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart4 ,this is he that was sown by the way side4 ,and he that was sown upon the rocky places1 this is he that heareth the word1 and straightway with joy receiveth it2 yet hath he not root in himself1 but endureth for a while2 and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word1 straightway he stumbleth4 ,and he that was sown among the thorns1 this is he that heareth the word2 and the care of the world1 and the deceitfulness of riches1 and the pleasures of this life1 choke the word1 and he becometh unfruitful4 ,and he that was sown upon the good ground1 this is he that heareth the word in an honest and good heart1 and understandeth it1 who verily beareth fruit1 and bringeth forth1 some a hundredfold1 some sixty1 some thirty4 ,,the ,,tares4 ,another parable set he before them1 saying1 ,the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field3 but while men slept1 his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat1 and went away4 ,but when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit1 then appeared the tares also4 ,and the servants of the householder came and said unto him1 ',sir1 didst thou not sow good seed in thy field8 whence then hath it tares8' ,and he said unto them1 ',an enemy hath done this4' ,and the servants say unto him1 ',wilt thou then that we go and gather them up8' ,but he saith1 ',nay2 lest haply while ye gather up the tares1 ye root up the wheat with them4 ,let both grow together until the harvest3 and in the time of the harvest ,i will say to the reapers1 ,gather up first the tares1 and bind them in bundles to burn them2 but gather the wheat into my barn4' ,,the ,,growing ,,grain4 ,and he said1 ,so is the kingdom of ,god1 as if a man should cast seed upon the earth2 and should sleep and rise night and day1 and the seed should spring up and grow1 he knoweth not how4 ,the earth beareth fruit of herself2 first the blade1 then the ear1 then the full grain in the ear4 ,but when the fruit is ripe1 straightway he putteth forth the sickle1 because the harvest is come4 ,,the ,,mustard ,,seed4 ,and he said1 ,how shall we liken the kingdom of ,god8 or in what parable shall we set it forth8 ,it is like a grain of mustard seed1 which1 when it is sown upon the earth1 though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth1 yet when it is sown1 groweth up1 and becometh greater than all the herbs1 and putteth out great branches2 so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof4 ,,the ,,leaven4 ,another parable spake he unto them3 ,the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven1 which a woman took1 and hid in three measures of meal1 till it was all leavened4 ,,the ,,understanding ,,of ,,parables4 ,all these things spake ,jesus in parables unto the multitudes2 and without a parable spake he nothing unto them3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet1 saying1 ,i will open my mouth in parables2 ,i will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world4 ,then he left the multitudes1 and went into the house3 and his disciples came unto him1 saying1 ,explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field4 ,and he answered and said1 ,he that soweth the good seed is the ,son of man2 and the field is the world2 and the good seed1 these are the sons of the kingdom2 and the tares are the sons of the evil one2 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil3 and the harvest is the end of the world2 and the reapers are angels4 ,as therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire2 so shall it be in the end of the world4 ,the ,son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and them that do iniquity and shall cast them into the furnace of fire3 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4 ,then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their ,father4 ,he that hath ears let him hear4 ,,the ,,hid ,,treasure4 ,the kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field2 which a man found1 and hid2 and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath1 and buyeth that field4 ,,the ,,pearl ,,of ,,great ,,price4 ,again1 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls3 and having found one pearl of great price1 he went and sold all that he had1 and bought it4 ,,the ,,drag ,,net4 ,again1 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net1 that was cast into the sea1 and gathered of every kind3 which1 when it was filled1 they drew up on the beach2 and they sat down1 and gathered the good into vessels1 but the bad they cast away4 ,so shall it be in the end of the world3 the angels shall come forth1 and sever the wicked from among the righteous1 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire3 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4 ,have ye understood all these things8 ,they say unto him1 ,yea4 ,and he said unto them1 ,therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder1 who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old4 ,a ,,day ,,of ,,miracles ,,by ,,the ,,lake ,,jesus ,,stills ,,the ,,storm4 ,and on that day1 when even was come1 he saith unto them1 ,let us go over unto the other side4 ,and leaving the multitude1 they take him with them1 even as he was1 in the boat4 ,and other boats were with him4 ,and there ariseth a great storm of wind1 and the waves beat into the boat1 insomuch that the boat was now filling4 ,and he himself was in the stern1 asleep on the cushion3 and they awake him1 and say unto him1 ,save1 ,lord2 we perish4 ,and he awoke1 and rebuked the wind1 and said unto the sea1 ,peace1 be still4 ,and the wind ceased1 and there was a great calm4 ,and he said unto them1 ,why are ye fearful8 have ye not yet faith8 ,and they feared exceedingly1 and said one to another1 ,who then is this1 that even the wind and the sea obey him8 ,,the ,,legion ,,of ,,demons4 ,and they arrived at the country of the ,gerasenes1 which is over against ,galilee4 ,and when he was come forth upon the land1 there met him a certain man out of the city1 who had demons2 and for a long time he had worn no clothes1 and abode not in any house1 but in the tombs4 ,and when he saw ,jesus1 he cried out1 and fell down before him1 and with a loud voice said1 ,what have ,i to do with thee1 ,jesus1 thou ,son of the ,most ,high ,god8 ,i beseech thee1 torment me not4 ,for he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man4 ,for oftentimes it had seized him2 and he was kept under guard1 and bound with chains and fetters2 and breaking the bands asunder1 he was driven of the demon into the deserts4 ,and ,jesus asked him1 ,what is thy name8 ,and he said1 ,legion2 for many demons were entered into him4 ,and they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss4 ,now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain4 ,and the demons besought him1 saying1 ,if thou cast us out1 send us away into the herd of swine4 ,and he said unto them1 ,go4 ,and they came out1 and went into the swine3 and behold1 the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea1 in number about two thousand2 and they were drowned in the sea4 ,and they that fed them fled1 and told it in the city1 and in the country4 ,and they came to see what it was that had come to pass4 ,and they come to ,jesus1 and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting1 clothed and in his right mind1 even him that had the legion3 and they were afraid4 ,and they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons1 and concerning the swine4 ,and they began to beseech him to depart from them2 for they were holden with great fear4 ,and as he was entering into the boat1 he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him4 ,and he suffered him not1 but saith unto him1 ,go to thy house unto thy friends1 and tell them how great things the ,lord hath done for thee1 and how he had mercy on thee4 ,and he went his way1 and began to publish in ,decapolis how great things ,jesus had done for him3 and all men marvelled4 ,,the ,,dying ,,child ,,and ,,the ,,suffering ,,woman4 ,and when ,jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side1 the multitude welcomed him2 for they were all waiting for him2 and he was by the sea4 ,and there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue1 ,jairus by name2 and seeing him1 he falleth at his feet1 and beseecheth him much1 saying1 ,my little daughter is at the point of death3 ,i pray thee1 that thou come and lay thy hands on her1 that she may be made whole1 and live4 ,and he went with him2 and a great multitude followed him1 and they thronged him4 ,and a woman1 who had an issue of blood twelve years1 and had suffered many things of many physicians1 and had spent all that she had1 and was nothing bettered1 but rather grew worse1 having heard the things concerning ,jesus1 came in the crowd behind1 and touched the border of his garment4 ,for she said1 ,if ,i touch but his garments1 ,i shall be made whole4 ,and straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up2 and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague4 ,and straightway ,jesus1 perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth1 turned him about in the crowd1 and said1 ,who touched my garments8 ,and when all denied1 ,peter said1 and they that were with him1 ,master1 the multitudes press thee and crush thee1 and sayest thou1 ',who touched me8' ,but ,jesus said1 ,some one did touch me2 for ,i perceived that power had gone forth from me4 ,and he looked round about to see her that had done this thing4 ,and when the woman saw that she was not hid1 she came trembling1 and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him1 and how she was healed immediately4 ,and he said unto her1 ,daughter1 thy faith hath made thee whole2 go in peace1 and be whole of thy plague4 ,while he yet spake1 they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house1 saying1 ,thy daughter is dead3 why troublest thou the ,teacher any further8 ,but ,jesus1 not heeding the word spoken1 saith unto the ruler of the synagogue1 ,fear not3 only believe1 and she shall be made whole4 ,and he suffered no man to follow with him1 save ,peter1 and ,james1 and ,john the brother of ,james4 ,and when ,jesus came into the ruler's house1 and saw the flute-players1 and the crowd making a tumult1 and many weeping and wailing greatly1 he said1 ,give place3 why make ye a tumult and weep8 the child is not dead1 but sleepeth4 ,and they laughed him to scorn1 knowing that she was dead4 ,but he1 having put them all forth1 taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him1 and goeth in where the child was4 ,and taking the child by the hand1 he saith unto her4 ,talitha cumi2 which is1 being interpreted1 ,damsel1 ,i say unto thee1 ,arise4 ,and her spirit returned4 ,and straightway the damsel rose up1 and walked3 for she was twelve years old4 ,and they were amazed straightway with a great amazement4 ,and he charged them much that no man should know this3 and he commanded that something should be given her to eat4 ,and the fame hereof went forth into all that land4 ,,healings ,,by ,,the ,,way4 ,and as ,jesus passed by from thence1 two blind men followed him1 crying out1 and saying1 ,have mercy on us1 thou son of ,david4 ,and when he was come into the house1 the blind men came to him3 and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,believe ye that ,i am able to do this8 ,they say unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord4 ,then touched he their eyes1 saying1 ,according to your faith be it done unto you4 ,and their eyes were opened4 ,and ,jesus strictly charged them1 saying1 ,see that no man know it4 ,but they went forth1 and spread abroad his fame in all that land4 ,and as they went forth1 behold1 there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon4 ,and when the demon was cast out1 the dumb man spake3 and the multitudes marvelled1 saying1 ,it was never so seen in ,israel4 ,but the ,pharisees said1 ,by the prince of the demons casteth he out demons4 ,,wider ,,evangelization ,,of ,,galilee ,a ,,visit ,,to ,,his ,,home4 ,and he went out from thence2 and he cometh into his own country to ,nazareth1 where he had been brought up2 and his disciples follow him4 ,and when the sabbath was come1 he entered1 as his custom was1 into the synagogue1 and stood up to read4 ,and there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet ,isaiah4 ,and he opened the book1 and found the place where it was written1 ,the ,spirit of the ,lord is upon me1 ,because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor2 ,he hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives1 ,and recovering of sight to the blind1 ,to set at liberty them that are bruised1 ,to proclaim the acceptable year of the ,lord4 ,and he closed the book1 and gave it back to the attendant1 and sat down3 and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him4 ,and he began to say unto them1 ,to-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears4 ,and all bare him witness1 and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth3 and they said1 ,whence hath this man these things8 and1 ,what is the wisdom that is given unto this man1 and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands8 ,is not this the carpenter1 the son of ,mary1 and brother of ,james1 and ,joses1 and ,judas1 and ,simon8 and are not his sisters here with us8 ,and they were offended in him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,doubtless ye will say unto me this parable1 ,physician1 heal thyself3 whatsoever we have heard done at ,capernaum1 do also here in thine own country4 ,and he said1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,a prophet is not without honor1 save in his own country1 and among his own kin1 and in his own house4 ,but of a truth ,i say unto you1 ,there were many widows in ,israel in the days of ,elijah1 when the heaven was shut up three years and six months1 when there came a great famine over all the land2 and unto none of them was ,elijah sent1 but only to ,zarephath1 in the land of ,sidon1 unto a woman that was a widow4 ,and there were many lepers in ,israel in the time of ,elisha the prophet2 and none of them was cleansed1 but only ,naaman the ,syrian4 ,and they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue1 as they heard these things2 and they rose up1 and cast him forth out of the city1 and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built1 that they might throw him down headlong4 ,but he passing through the midst of them went his way4 ,and he could there do no mighty work1 save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk1 and healed them4 ,,preaching ,,in ,,the ,,villages4 ,and ,jesus went about all the cities and the villages1 teaching in their synagogues1 and preaching the gospel of the kingdom1 and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness4 ,but when he saw the multitudes1 he was moved with compassion for them1 because they were distressed and scattered1 as sheep not having a shepherd4 ,then saith he unto his disciples1 ,the harvest indeed is plenteous1 but the laborers are few4 ,pray ye therefore the ,lord of the harvest1 that he send forth laborers into his harvest4 ,,the ,,twelve ,,sent ,,forth4 ,and he calleth unto him his twelve disciples1 and began to send them forth by two and two2 and he gave them power and authority over unclean spirits1 to cast them out1 and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness4 ,and he charged them1 saying1 ,go not into any way of the ,gentiles1 and enter not into any city of the ,samaritans3 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of ,israel4 ,and as ye go1 preach1 saying1 ',the kingdom of

went throughout the villages1 preaching the gospel1 and healing everywhere4 ,and they cast out many demons1 and anointed with oil many that were sick1 and healed them4 ,and ,jesus departed thence to teach and preach4 ,and wheresoever he entered1 into villages1 or into cities1 or into the country1 they laid the sick in the marketplaces1 and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment3 and as many as touched him were made whole4 ,at that season ,herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning ,jesus1 and said unto his servants1 ,this is ,john the ,baptist2 he is risen from the dead2 and therefore do these powers work in him4 ,but others said1 ,it is ,elijah4 ,and others said1 ,it is a prophet1 even as one of the prophets4 ,but ,herod1 when he heard thereof1 said1 ,john1 whom ,i beheaded1 he is risen4 ,and he sought to see him4 ,,the ,,crisis ,,in ,,capernaum ,,the ,,five ,,thousand ,,fed4 ,and the apostles1 when they were returned unto ,jesus1 told him all things1 whatsoever they had done1 and whatsoever they had taught4 ,now the passover1 the feast of the ,jews1 was at hand4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,come ye yourselves apart into a desert place1 and rest a while4 ,for there were many coming and going1 and they had no leisure so much as to eat4 ,and they went away in the boat to a desert place apart4 ,and the people saw them going1 and many knew them1 and they ran together there on foot from all the cities1 and outwent them4 ,and he came forth and saw a great multitude4 ,and he welcomed them1 and spake to them of the kingdom of ,god1 and them that had need of healing he cured4 ,and he had compassion on them1 because they were as sheep not having a shepherd4 ,and the day began to wear away2 and the twelve came1 and said unto him1 ,send the multitude away1 that they may go into the villages and country round about1 and lodge1 and get provisions3 for we are here in a desert place4 ,but ,jesus said unto them1 ,they have no need to go away3 give ye them to eat4 ,philip answered him1 ,two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not sufficient for them1 that every one may take a little4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,how many loaves have ye8 go and see4 ,one of his disciples1 ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's brother1 saith unto him1 ,there is a lad here1 who hath five barley loaves1 and two fishes3 but what are these among so many8 ,and ,jesus said1 ,bring them hither to me4 ,and he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass4 ,now there was much grass in the place4 ,and they sat down in ranks1 by hundreds1 and by fifties4 ,and he took the five loaves and the two fishes1 and looking up to heaven1 he blessed1 and brake the loaves2 and he gave to the disciples to set before them2 and the two fishes divided he among them all4 ,and they all ate1 and were filled4 ,and they took up broken pieces1 twelve basketfuls1 and also of the fishes4 ,and they that ate the loaves were five thousand men4 ,when therefore the people saw the sign which he did1 they said1 ,this is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world4 ,jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force1 to make him king1 constrained the disciples to enter into the boat1 and to go before him unto the other side1 till he should send the multitudes away4 ,and after he had sent the multitudes away1 he went up into the mountain apart to pray3 and when even was come1 he was there alone4 ,,jesus ,,walking ,,on ,,the ,,water4 ,and his disciples were going over the sea unto ,capernaum4 ,and it was now dark1 and ,jesus had not yet come to them4 ,and the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew4 ,and in the fourth watch of the night1 when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs1 they behold ,jesus walking on the sea1 and drawing nigh unto the boat4 ,and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea1 they were troubled1 saying1 ,it is a ghost2 and they cried out for fear4 ,but straightway ,jesus spake unto them1 saying1 ,be of good cheer2 it is ,i2 be not afraid4 ,and ,peter answered him and said1 ,lord1 if it be thou1 bid me come unto thee upon the waters4 ,and he said1 ,come4 ,and ,peter went down from the boat1 and walked upon the waters1 to come to ,jesus4 ,but when he saw the wind1 he was afraid2 and beginning to sink1 he cried out1 saying1 ,lord1 save me4 ,and immediately ,jesus stretched forth his hand1 and took hold of him1 and saith unto him1 ,o thou of little faith1 wherefore didst thou doubt8 ,and when they were gone up into the boat1 the wind ceased3 and they were sore amazed in themselves2 for they understood not concerning the loaves1 but their heart was hardened4 ,and when they had crossed over1 they came to the land unto ,gennesaret1 and moored to the shore4 ,and when they were come out of the boat1 straightway the people knew him1 and ran round about that whole region1 and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick1 where they heard he was4 ,,the ,,disappointment ,,of ,,the ,,people4 ,on the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there1 save one1 and that ,jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat1 but that his disciples went away alone 7howbeit there came boats from ,tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the ,lord had given thanks73 when the multitude therefore saw that ,jesus was not there1 neither his disciples1 they themselves got into the boats1 and came to ,capernaum1 seeking ,jesus4 ,and when they found him on the other side of the sea1 they said unto him1 ,rabbi1 when camest thou hither8 ,jesus answered them and said1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,ye seek me1 not because ye saw signs1 but because ye ate of the loaves1 and were filled4 ,work not for the food which perisheth1 but for the food which abideth unto eternal life1 which the ,son of man shall give unto you2 for him the ,father1 even ,god1 hath sealed4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,what must we do1 that we may work the works of ,god8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,this is the work of ,god1 that ye believe on him whom he hath sent4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,what then doest thou for a sign1 that we may see1 and believe thee8 what workest thou8 ,our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness2 as it is written1 ',he gave them bread out of heaven to eat4' ,jesus therefore said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,it was not ,moses that gave you the bread out of heaven2 but my ,father giveth you the true bread out of heaven4 ,for the bread of ,god is that which cometh down out of heaven1 and giveth life unto the world4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,lord1 evermore give us this bread4 ,jesus said unto them1 ,i am the bread of life3 he that cometh to me shall not hunger1 and he that believeth on me shall never thirst4 ,but ,i said unto you1 that ye have seen me1 and yet believe not4 ,all that which the ,father giveth me shall come unto me2 and him that cometh to me ,i will in no wise cast out4 ,for ,i am come down from heaven1 not to do mine own will1 but the will of him that sent me4 ,and this is the will of him that sent me1 that of all that which he hath given me ,i should lose nothing1 but should raise it up at the last day4 ,for this is the will of my ,father1 that every one that beholdeth the ,son1 and believeth on him1 should have eternal life2 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,the ,jews therefore murmured concerning him1 because he said1 ,i am the bread which came down out of heaven4 ,and they said1 ,is not this ,jesus1 the son of ,joseph1 whose father and mother we know8 how doth he now say ',i am come down out of heaven'8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,murmur not among yourselves4 ,no man can come to me1 except the ,father that sent me draw him3 and ,i will raise him up in the last day4 ,it is written in the prophets1 ',and they shall all be taught of ,god4' ,every one that hath heard from the ,father1 and hath learned1 cometh unto me4 ,not that any man hath seen the ,father1 save he that is from ,god1 he hath seen the ,father4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that believeth hath eternal life4 ,i am the bread of life4 ,your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness1 and they died4 ,this is the bread which cometh down out of heaven1 that a man may eat thereof1 and not die4 ,i am the living bread which came down out of heaven3 if any man eat of this bread1 he shall live for ever3 yea and the bread which ,i will give is my flesh1 for the life of the world4 ,the ,jews therefore strove one with another1 saying1 ,how can this man give us his flesh to eat8 ,jesus therefore said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,except ye eat the flesh of the ,son of man and drink his blood1 ye have not life in yourselves4 ,he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life2 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,for my flesh is meat indeed1 and my blood is drink indeed4 ,he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me1 and ,i in him4 ,as the living ,father sent me1 and ,i live because of the ,father2 so he that eateth me1 he also shall live because of me4 ,this is the bread which came down out of heaven3 not as the fathers ate1 and died2 he that eateth this bread shall live for ever4 ,these things said he in the synagogue1 as he taught in ,capernaum4 ,many therefore of his disciples1 when they heard this1 said1 ,this is a hard saying2 who can hear it8 ,but ,jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this1 said unto them1 ,doth this cause you to stumble8 ,what then if ye should behold the ,son of man ascending where he was before8 ,it is the spirit that giveth life2 the flesh profiteth nothing3 the words that ,i have spoken unto you are spirit1 and are life4 ,but there are some of you that believe not4 ,for ,jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not1 and who it was that should betray him4 ,and he said1 ,for this cause have ,i said unto you1 that no man can come unto me1 except it be given unto him of the ,father4 ,upon this many of his disciples went back1 and walked no more with him4 ,jesus said therefore unto the twelve1 ,would ye also go away8 ,simon ,peter answered him1 ,lord1 to whom shall we go8 thou hast the words of eternal life4 ,and we have believed and know that thou art the ,holy ,one of ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,did not ,i choose you the twelve1 and one of you is a devil8 ,now he spake of ,judas1 the son of ,simon ,iscariot1 for he it was that should betray him1 being one of the twelve4 ,,rejection ,,of ,,the ,,tradition ,,of ,,the ,,elders4 ,and there are gathered together unto him the ,pharisees1 and certain of the scribes1 who had come from ,jerusalem1 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled1 that is1 unwashen1 hands4 7,for the ,pharisees1 and all the ,jews1 except they wash their hands diligently1 eat not1 holding the tradition of the elders2 and when they come from the market-place1 except they bathe themselves1 they eat not2 and many other things there are1 which they have received to hold1 washings of cups1 and pots1 and brasen vessels47 ,and the ,pharisees and the scribes ask him1 ,why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders1 but eat their bread with defiled hands8 ,and he said unto them1 ,well did ,isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites1 as it is written1 ',this people honoreth me with their lips1 ,but their heart is far from me4 ,but in vain do they worship me1 ,teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men4' ,ye leave the commandment of ,god1 and hold fast the tradition of men4 ,and he said unto them1 ,full well do ye reject the commandment of ,god1 that ye may keep your tradition4 ,for ,moses said1 ',honor thy father and thy mother2' and1 ',he that speaketh evil of father or mother1 let him die the death2' but ye say1 ',if a man shall say to his father or his mother1 ,that wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is ,corban1' that is to say1 ,given to ,god2 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother2 making void the word of ,god by your tradition1 which ye have delivered3 and many such like things ye do4 ,and he called to him the multitude again1 and said unto them1 ,hear me all of you1 and understand3 there is nothing from without the man1 that going into him can defile him2 but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man4 ,then came the disciples1 and said unto him1 ,knowest thou that the ,pharisees were offended1 when they heard this saying8 ,but he answered and said1 ,every plant which my heavenly ,father planted not1 shall be rooted up4 ,let them alone3 they are blind guides4 ,and if the blind guide the blind1 both shall fall into a pit4 ,and when he was entered into the house from the multitude1 his disciples asked of him the parable4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,are ye also even yet without understanding8 ,perceive ye not1 that whatsoever from without goeth into the man1 it cannot defile him2 because it goeth not into his heart1 but into his belly1 and goeth out into the draught8 ,this he said1 making all meats clean4 ,and he said1 ,that which proceedeth out of the man1 that defileth the man4 ,for from within1 out of the heart of men1 evil thoughts proceed1 fornications1 thefts1 murders1 adulteries1 covetings1 wickedness1 deceit1 false witness1 lasciviousness1 an evil eye1 railing1 pride1 foolishness3 all these evil things proceed from within1 and defile the man2 but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man4 ,,the ,,plot ,,of ,,the ,,pharisees4 ,and it came to pass on a sabbath1 that he entered into the synagogue and taught3 and there was a man there1 and his right hand was withered4 ,and the scribes and the ,pharisees watched him1 whether he would heal on the sabbath2 that they might find how to accuse him4 ,but he knew their thoughts2 and he said to the man that had his hand withered1 ,rise up1 and stand forth in the midst4 ,and he arose and stood forth4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,i ask you1 ,is it lawful on the sabbath to do good1 or to do harm8 to save a life or to destroy it8 ,what man shall there be of you1 that shall have one sheep1 and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day1 will he not lay hold on it1 and lift it out8 ,how much then is a man of more value than a sheep6 ,wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day4 ,but they held their peace4 ,and when he had looked round about on them with anger1 being grieved at the hardening of their heart1 he saith unto the man1 ,stretch forth thy hand4 ,and he stretched it forth2 and his hand was restored whole1 as the other4 ,but they were filled with madness2 and communed one with another what they might do to ,jesus4 ,and the ,pharisees went out1 and straightway with the ,herodians took counsel against him1 how they might destroy him4 ,,his ,,withdrawal ,,with ,,the ,,twelve 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,ministry ,,beyond ,,galilee ,,the ,,phoenician ,,retirement ,,and ,,the ,,gentile ,,cure4 ,and ,jesus went out thence1 and withdrew into the parts of ,tyre and ,sidon4 ,and he entered into a house1 and would have no man know it2 and he could not be hid4 ,but straightway a woman1 whose little daughter had an unclean spirit1 having heard of him1 came and fell down at his feet4 ,now the woman was a ,greek1 a ,syrophoenician by race4 ,and she cried1 saying1 ,have mercy on me1 ,o ,lord1 thou son of ,david2 my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon4 ,but he answered her not a word4 ,and his disciples came and besought him1 saying1 ,send her away1 for she crieth after us4 ,but he answered and said1 ,i was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of ,israel4 ,but she came and worshipped him1 saying1 ,lord help me4 ,and he said unto her1 ,let the children first be filled3 for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs4 ,but she answered and saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord2 even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs4 ,then ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,o woman1 great is thy faith3 be it done unto thee as thou wilt4 ,go thy way2 the demon is gone out of thy daughter4 ,and she went away unto her house1 and found the child laid upon the bed1 and the demon gone out4 ,,miracles ,,and ,,multitudes ,,again4 ,and again he went out from the borders of ,tyre1 and came through ,sidon unto the sea of ,galilee1 through the midst of the borders of ,decapolis4 ,and he went up into the mountain1 and sat there4 ,and there came unto him great multitudes1 having with them the lame1 blind1 dumb1 maimed1 and many others1 and they cast them down at his feet2 and he healed them2 insomuch that the multitude wondered1 when they saw the dumb speaking1 the maimed whole1 and the lame walking1 and the blind seeing2 and they glorified the ,god of ,israel4 ,and they bring unto him one that was deaf1 and had an impediment in his speech2 and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him4 ,and he took him aside from the multitude privately1 and put his fingers into his ears1 and he spat1 and touched his tongue2 and looking up to heaven1 he sighed1 and saith unto him1 ,ephphatha1 that is1 ,be opened4 ,and his ears were opened1 and the bond of his tongue was loosed1 and he spake plain4 ,and he charged them that they should tell no man2 but the more he charged them1 so much the more a great deal they published it4 ,and they were beyond measure astonished1 saying1 ,he hath done all things well2 he maketh even the deaf to hear1 and the dumb to speak4 ,,the ,,four ,,thousand ,,fed4 ,in those days1 when there was again a great multitude1 and they had nothing to eat1 he called unto him his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,i have compassion on the multitude1 because they continue with me now three days1 and have nothing to eat2 and if ,i send them away fasting to their home1 they will faint on the way2 and some of them are come from far4 ,and his disciples answered him1 ,whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place8 ,and he asked them1 ,how many loaves have ye8 ,and they said1 ,seven4 ,and he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground3 and he took the seven loaves1 and having given thanks1 he brake1 and gave to his disciples1 to set before them2 and they set them before the multitude4 ,and they had a few small fishes3 and having blessed them1 he commanded to set these also before them4 ,and they ate and were filled3 and they took up1 of broken pieces that remained over1 seven baskets4 ,and they were about four thousand men1 besides women and children4 ,and he sent away the multitudes1 and entered into the boat1 and came into the borders of ,magadan4 ,,the ,,pharisees ,,and ,,saduccees ,,demand ,a ,,sign4 ,and the ,pharisees and ,sadducees came forth1 and began to question with him1 seeking of him a sign from heaven1 trying him4 ,but he answered and said unto them1 ,when it is evening1 ye say1 ',it will be fair weather1' for the heaven is red4 ,and in the morning1 ',it will be foul weather to-day1' for the heaven is red and lowering4 ,ye know how to discern the face of the heaven2 but ye cannot discern the signs of the times4 ,and he sighed deeply in his spirit1 and saith4 ,why doth this generation seek a sign8 verily ,i say unto you1 ,there shall no sign be given unto this generation4 ,and he left them1 and again entering into the boat departed to the other side4 ,and they forgot to take bread2 and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf4 ,and he charged them1 saying1 ,take heed1 beware of the leaven of the ,pharisees and the leaven of ,herod4 ,and they reasoned one with another1 saying1 ,we have no bread4 ,and ,jesus perceiving it saith unto them1 ,o ye of little faith1 why reason ye among yourselves1 because ye have no bread8 ,do ye not yet perceive1 neither understand8 have ye your heart hardened8 ,having eyes1 see ye not8 and having ears1 hear ye not8 and do ye not remember8 ,when ,i brake the five loaves among the five thousand1 how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up8 ,they say unto him1 ,twelve4 ,and when the seven among the four thousand1 how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up8 ,and they say unto him1 ,seven4 ,and he said unto them1 ,how is it that ye do not perceive that ,i spake not to you concerning bread8 ,but beware of the leaven of the ,pharisees and ,sadducees4 ,then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread1 but of the teaching of the ,pharisees and ,sadducees4 ,,the ,,blind ,,man ,,healed4 ,and they come unto ,bethsaida4 ,and they bring to him a blind man1 and beseech him to touch him4 ,and he took hold of the blind man by the hand1 and brought him out of the village2 and when he had spit on his eyes1 and laid his hands upon him1 he asked him1 ,seest thou aught8 ,and he looked up1 and said1 ,i see men2 for ,i behold them as trees1 walking4 ,then again he laid his hands upon his eyes2 and he looked stedfastly1 and was restored1 and saw all things clearly4 ,and he sent him away to his home1 saying1 ,do not even enter into the village4 ,,jesus ,,the ,,messiah ,,peter',s ,,confession4 ,and ,jesus went forth1 and his disciples1 into the villages of ,caesarea ,philippi4 ,and it came to pass1 as he was praying apart1 the disciples were with him3 and he asked them1 saying1 ,who do the multitudes say that ,i am8 ,and they answering1 said1 ,some say ,john the ,baptist2 some ,elijah2 and others1 ,jeremiah2 and others1 that one of the old prophets is risen again4 ,and he said unto them1 ,but who say ye that ,i am8 ,and ,simon ,peter answered and said1 ,thou art the ,christ1 the ,son of the living ,god4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,blessed art thou1 ,simon ,bar-,jonah3 for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee1 but my ,father who is in heaven4 ,and ,i also say unto thee1 that thou art ,peter1 and upon this rock ,i will build my church2 and the gates of ,hades shall not prevail against it4 ,i will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven3 and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven2 and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven4 ,then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the ,christ4 ,,the ,,passion ,,and ,,resurrection ,,foretold4 ,from that time began ,jesus to show unto his disciples1 that he must go unto ,jerusalem1 and suffer many things and be rejected by the elders1 and the chief priests1 and the scribes1 and be killed1 and after three days rise again4 ,and he spake the saying openly4 ,and ,peter took him1 and began to rebuke him1 saying1 ,be it far from thee1 ,lord3 this shall never be unto thee4 ,but he turning about1 and seeing his disciples1 rebuked ,peter1 and saith1 ,get thee behind me1 ,satan3 thou art a stumbling-block unto me3 for thou mindest not the things of ,god1 but the things of men4 ,and he called unto him the multitude with his disciples1 and said unto them1 ,if any man would come after me1 let him deny himself1 and take up his cross daily1 and follow me4 ,for whosoever would save his life shall lose it2 and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it4 ,for what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world1 and forfeit his life8 ,for what should a man give in exchange for his life8 ,for whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation1 the ,son of man also shall be ashamed of him1 when he cometh in his own glory1 and the glory of the ,father1 and of the holy angels4 ,but ,i tell you of a truth1 ,there are some of them that stand here1 who shall in no wise taste of death1 till they see the kingdom of ,god come with power4 ,,the ,,transfiguration4 ,and it came to pass about eight days after these sayings1 that he took with him ,peter and ,john and ,james1 and went up into the mountain to pray4 ,and as he was praying he was transfigured before them2 and his face did shine as the sun1 and his garments became glistering1 white as the light1 so as no fuller on earth can whiten them4 ,and behold1 there talked with him two men1 who were ,moses and ,elijah2 who appeared in glory1 and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at ,jerusalem4 ,now ,peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep2 but when they were fully awake1 they saw his glory1 and the two men that stood with him4 ,and it came to pass1 as they were parting from him1 ,peter said unto ,jesus1 ,master1 it is good for us to be here3 and let us make three tabernacles2 one for thee1 and one for ,moses1 and one for ,elijah3 not knowing what he said4 ,while he was yet speaking1 behold1 a bright cloud overshadowed them3 and they feared as they entered into the cloud4 ,and behold1 a voice out of the cloud1 saying1 ,this is my beloved ,son1 in whom ,i am well pleased2 hear ye him4 ,and when the disciples heard it1 they fell on their face1 and were sore afraid4 ,and ,jesus came and touched them and said1 ,arise1 and be not afraid4 ,and suddenly looking round about1 they saw no one any more1 save ,jesus only with themselves4 ,and as they were coming down from the mountain1 he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen1 save when the ,son of man should have risen again from the dead4 ,and they kept the saying1 questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean4 ,and they asked him1 saying1 ,how is it that the scribes say that ,elijah must first come8 ,and he said unto them1 ,elijah indeed cometh first1 and restoreth all things3 and how is it written of the ,son of man1 that he should suffer many things and be set at nought8 ,but ,i say unto you1 that ,elijah is come1 and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would even as it is written of them4 ,then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of ,john the ,baptist4 ,,the ,,epileptic ,,boy4 ,and when they came to the disciples1 they saw a great multitude about them1 and scribes questioning with them4 ,and straightway all the multitude1 when they saw him1 were greatly amazed1 and running to him saluted him4 ,and he asked them1 ,what question ye with them8 ,and one of the multitude came to him kneeling1 and saying1 ,teacher1 ,i beseech thee to look upon my son3 for he is mine only child3 and behold1 he hath a dumb spirit2 and wheresoever it taketh him1 it dasheth him down3 and he foameth1 and grindeth his teeth1 and pineth away3 for he is epileptic1 and suffereth grievously2 for oft-times he falleth into the fire1 and oft-times into the water4 ,and ,i brought him to thy disciples1 and they could not cure him4 ,and ,jesus answered and said1 ,o faithless and perverse generation1 how long shall ,i be with you8 how long shall ,i bear with you8 ,bring hither thy son4 ,and they brought him unto him3 and when he saw him1 straightway the spirit tare him grievously2 and he fell on the ground1 and wallowed foaming4 ,and he asked his father1 ,how long time is it since this hath come unto him8 ,and he said1 ,from a child4 ,and oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters1 to destroy him3 but if thou canst do anything1 have compassion on us1 and help us4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,if thou canst6 ,all things are possible to him that believeth4 ,straightway the father of the child cried out and said1 ,i believe2 help thou mine unbelief4 ,and when ,jesus saw that a multitude came running together1 he rebuked the unclean spirit1 saying unto him1 ,thou dumb and deaf spirit1 ,i command thee1 come out of him1 and enter no more into him4 ,and having cried out1 and torn him much1 he came out3 and the boy became as one dead2 insomuch that the more part said1 ,he is dead4 ,but ,jesus took him by the hand1 and raised him up2 and he arose1 and ,jesus gave him back to his father4 ,and they were all astonished at the majesty of ,god4 ,and when he was come into the house1 his disciples asked him privately1 ,how is it that we could not cast it out8 ,and he said unto them1 ,this kind can come out by nothing1 save by prayer4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed1 ye shall say unto this mountain1 ',remove hence to yonder place1' and it shall remove2 and nothing shall be impossible unto you4 ,,the ,,training ,,of ,,the ,,twelve ,,the ,,passion ,,and ,,resurrection ,,again ,,foretold4 ,and they went forth from thence1 and passed through ,galilee2 and he would not that any man should know it4 ,for he taught his disciples1 and said unto them1 ,let these words sink into your ears3 for the ,son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men1 and they shall kill him2 and when he is killed1 after three days he shall rise again4 ,but they understood not the saying1 and were afraid to ask him4 ,,the ,,greatest ,,disciple4 ,and they came to ,capernaum3 and when he was in the house he asked them1 ,what were ye reasoning on the way8 ,but they held their peace3 for they had disputed one with another on the way1 who was the greatest4 ,and he sat down1 and called the twelve2 and he said unto them1 ,if any man would be first1 he shall be last of all1 and servant of all4 ,and he took a little child1 and set him in the midst of them3 and taking him in his arms1 he said unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,except ye turn1 and become as little children1 ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven4 ,whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child1 the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven4 ,and whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me3 and whosoever receiveth me1 receiveth not me1 but him that sent me4 ,john said unto him1 ,teacher1 we saw one casting out demons in thy name2 and we forbade him1 because he followed not us4 ,but ,jesus said1 ,forbid him not3 for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name1 and be able quickly to speak evil of me4 ,for he that is not against us is for us4 ,for whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink1 because ye are ,christ's1 verily ,i say unto you1 he shall in no wise lose his reward4 ,but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble1 it is profitable for him that a great mill-stone should be hanged about his neck1 and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea4 ,woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling6 for it must needs be that the occasions come2 but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh6 ,and if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble1 cut it off1 and cast it from thee3 it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt1 rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire4 ,and if thine eye causeth thee to stumble1 pluck it out1 and cast it from thee3 it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye1 rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire1 where their worm dieth not1 and the fire is not quenched4 ,for every one shall be salted with fire4 ,salt is good2 but if the salt have lost its saltness1 wherewith will ye season it8 ,have salt in yourselves1 and be at peace one with another4 ,see that ye despise not one of these little ones3 for ,i say unto you1 that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my ,father who is in heaven4 ,how think ye8 if any man have a hundred sheep1 and one of them be gone astray1 doth he not leave the ninety and nine1 and go unto the mountains1 and seek that which goeth astray8 ,and if so be that he find it1 verily ,i say unto you1 he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray4 ,even so it is not the will of your ,father who is in heaven1 that one of these little ones should perish4 ,,forgiveness4 ,and if thy brother sin against thee1 go1 show him his fault between thee and him alone3 if he hear thee1 thou hast gained thy brother4 ,but if he hear thee not1 take with thee one or two more1 that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established4 ,and if he refuse to hear them1 tell it unto the church3 and if he refuse to hear the church also1 let him be unto thee as the ,gentile and the publican4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven2 and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven4 ,again ,i say unto you1 that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask1 it shall be done for them of my ,father who is in heaven4 ,for where two or three are gathered together in my name1 there am ,i1 in the midst of them4 ,then came ,peter and said to him1 ,lord1 how oft shall my brother sin against me1 and ,i forgive him8 until seven times8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,i say not unto thee1 ,until seven times2 but1 ,until seventy times seven4 ,therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king1 who would make a reckoning with his servants4 ,and when he had begun to reckon1 one was brought unto him1 that owed him ten thousand talents4 ,but forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay1 his lord commanded him to be sold1 and his wife1 and children1 and all that he had1 and payment to be made4 ,the servant therefore fell down and worshipped him1 saying1 ',lord1 have patience with me1 and ,i will pay thee all4' ,and the lord of that servant1 being moved with compassion1 released him1 and forgave him the debt4 ,but that servant went out1 and found one of his fellow-servants1 who owed him a hundred shillings3 and he laid hold on him1 and took him by the throat1 saying1 ',pay what thou owest4' ,so his fellow-servant fell down and besought him1 saying1 ',have patience with me1 and ,i will pay thee4' ,and he would not3 but went and cast him into prison1 till he should pay that which was due4 ,so when his fellow-servants saw what was done1 they were exceeding sorry1 and came and told unto their lord all that was done4 ,then his lord called him unto him1 and saith to him1 ',thou wicked servant1 ,i forgave thee all that debt1 because thou besoughtest me3 shouldst not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant1 even as ,i had mercy on thee8' ,and his lord was wroth1 and delivered him to the tormentors1 till he should pay all that was due4 ,so shall also my heavenly ,father do unto you1 if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts4 ,,the ,,shekel ,,for ,,the ,,temple4 ,and they that received the half-shekel came to ,peter1 and said ,doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel8 ,he saith1 ,yea4 ,and when he came into the house1 ,jesus spake first to him1 saying1 ,what thinkest thou1 ,simon8 the kings of the earth1 from whom do they receive toll or tribute8 from their sons1 or from strangers8 ,and when he said1 ,from strangers1 ,jesus said unto him1 ,therefore1 the sons are free4 ,but1 lest we cause them to stumble1 go thou to the sea1 and cast a hook1 and take up the fish that first cometh up2 and when thou hast opened his mouth1 thou shalt find a shekel3 that take1 and give unto them for me and thee4 ,,his ,,face ,,toward ,,jerusalem 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,final ,,departure ,,from ,,galilee ,,the ,,beginning ,,of ,,the ,,end4 ,now the feast of the ,jews1 the feast of tabernacles1 was at hand4 ,his brethren therefore said unto him1 ,depart hence1 and go into ,judaea1 that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest4 ,for no man doeth anything in secret1 and himself seeketh to be known openly4 ,if thou doest these things1 manifest thyself to the world4 ,for even his brethren did not believe on him4 ,jesus therefore saith unto them1 ,my time is not yet come2 but your time is always ready4 ,the world cannot hate you2 but me it hateth1 because ,i testify of it1 that its works are evil4 ,go ye up unto the feast2 ,i go not up yet unto this feast2 because my time is not yet fulfilled4 ,and having said these things unto them1 he abode still in ,galilee4 ,and it came to pass1 when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up1 he stedfastly set his face to go to ,jerusalem1 and sent messengers before his face3 and they went1 and entered into a village of the ,samaritans1 to make ready for him4 ,and they did not receive him1 because his face was as though he were going to ,jerusalem4 ,and when his disciples ,james and ,john saw this1 they said1 ,lord1 wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven1 and consume them8 ,but he turned1 and rebuked them4 ,and they went to another village4 ,,the ,,grateful ,,samaritan ,,leper4 ,and it came to pass1 as they were on the way to ,jerusalem1 that he was passing along the borders of ,samaria and ,galilee4 ,and as he entered into a certain village1 there met him ten men that were lepers1 who stood afar off3 and they lifted up their voices1 saying1 ,jesus1 ,master1 have mercy on us4 ,and when he saw them1 he said unto them1 ,go and show yourselves unto the priests4 ,and it came to pass1 as they went1 they were cleansed4 ,and one of them1 when he saw that he was healed1 turned back1 with a loud voice glorifying ,god2 and he fell upon his face at his feet1 giving him thanks3 and he was a ,samaritan4 ,and ,jesus answering said1 ,were not the ten cleansed8 but where are the nine8 ,were there none found that returned to give glory to ,god1 save this stranger8 ,and he said unto him1 ,arise1 and go thy way3 thy faith hath made thee whole4 ,,new ,,disciples4 ,and as they went on the way1 a certain scribe said unto him1 ,i will follow thee whithersoever thou goest4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,the foxes have holes1 and the birds of the heaven have nests2 but the ,son of man hath not where to lay his head4 ,and he said unto another1 ,follow me4 ,but he said1 ,lord1 suffer me first to go and bury my father4 ,but he said unto him1 ,leave the dead to bury their own dead2 but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of ,god4 ,and another also said1 ,i will follow thee1 ,lord2 but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house4 ,but ,jesus said unto him1 ,no man1 having put his hand to the plow1 and looking back1 is fit for the kingdom of ,god4 ,,in ,,jerusalem--,,the ,,attempt ,,to ,,stone ,,him ,,jesus ,,at ,,the ,,feast ,,of ,,tabernacles4 ,then went he up unto the feast1 not publicly1 but as it were in secret4 ,the ,jews therefore sought him at the feast1 and said1 ,where is he8 ,and there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him3 some said1 ,he is a good man2 others said1 ,not so1 but he leadeth the multitude astray4 ,yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the ,jews4 ,but when it was now the midst of the feast ,jesus went up into the temple1 and taught4 ,the ,jews therefore marvelled1 saying1 ,how knoweth this man letters1 having never learned8 ,jesus therefore answered them1 and said1 ,my teaching is not mine1 but his that sent me4 ,if any man willeth to do his will1 he shall know of the teaching1 whether it is of ,god1 or whether ,i speak from myself4 ,he that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory3 but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him1 the same is true1 and no unrighteousness is in him4 ,did not ,moses give you the law1 and yet none of you doeth the law8 ,why seek ye to kill me8 ,the multitude answered1 ,thou hast a demon3 who seeketh to kill thee8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,i did one work1 and ye all marvel because thereof4 ,moses hath given you circumcision 7not that it is of ,moses1 but of the fathers72 and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man4 ,if a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath1 that the law of ,moses may not be broken2 are ye wroth with me1 because ,i made a man every whit whole on the sabbath8 ,judge not according to appearance1 but judge righteous judgment4 ,some therefore of them of ,jerusalem said1 ,is not this he whom they seek to kill8 ,and lo1 he speaketh openly1 and they say nothing unto him4 ,can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the ,christ8 ,howbeit we know this man whence he is2 but when the ,christ cometh1 no one knoweth whence he is4 ,jesus therefore cried in the temple1 teaching and saying1 ,ye both know me1 and know whence ,i am2 and ,i am not come of myself1 but he that sent me is true1 whom ye know not4 ,i know him3 because ,i am from him1 and he sent me4 ,they sought therefore to take him3 and no man laid his hand on him1 because his hour was not yet come4 ,but of the multitude many believed on him2 and they said1 ,when the ,christ shall come1 will he do more signs than those which this man hath done8 ,the ,pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him2 and the chief priests and the ,pharisees sent officers to take him4 ,jesus therefore said1 ,yet a little while am ,i with you1 and ,i go unto him that sent me4 ,ye shall seek me1 and shall not find me3 and where ,i am1 ye can not come4 ,the ,jews therefore said among themselves1 ,whither will this man go that we shall not find him8 will he go unto the ,dispersion among the ,greeks1 and teach the ,greeks8 ,what is this word that he said1 ',ye shall seek me1 and shall not find me2 and where ,i am1 ye cannot come'8 ,now on the last day1 the great day of the feast1 ,jesus stood and cried1 saying1 ,if any man thirst1 let him come unto me and drink4 ,he that believeth on me1 as the scripture hath said1 from within him shall flow rivers of living water4 ,but this spake he of the ,spirit1 which they that believed on him were to receive3 for the ,spirit was not yet given2 because ,jesus was not yet glorified4 ,some of the multitude therefore1 when they heard these words1 said1 ,this is of a truth the prophet4 ,others said1 ,this is the ,christ4 ,but some said1 ,what1 doth the ,christ come out of ,galilee8 ,hath not the scripture said that the ,christ cometh of the seed of ,david1 and from ,bethlehem1 the village where ,david was8 ,so there arose a division in the multitude because of him4 ,and some of them would have taken him2 but no man laid hands on him4 ,the officers therefore came to the chief priests and ,pharisees2 and they said unto them1 ,why did ye not bring him8 ,the officers answered1 ,never man so spake4 ,the ,pharisees therefore answered them1 ,are ye also led astray8 ,hath any of the rulers believed on him1 or of the ,pharisees8 ,but this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed4 ,nicodemus saith unto them 7he that came to him before1 being one of them71 ,doth our law judge a man1 except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth8 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,art thou also of ,galilee8 ,search1 and see that out of ,galilee ariseth no prophet4 ,,jesus ,,and ,,the ,,accused ,,woman4 ,and they went every man unto his own house3 but ,jesus went unto the mount of ,olives4 ,and early in the morning he came again into the temple1 and all the people came unto him2 and he sat down1 and taught them4 ,and the scribes and the ,pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery2 and having set her in the midst1 they say unto him1 ,teacher1 this woman hath been taken in adultery1 in the very act4 ,now in the law ,moses commanded us to stone such3 what then sayest thou of her8 ,and this they said1 trying him1 that they might have whereof to accuse him4 ,but ,jesus stooped down1 and with his finger wrote on the ground4 ,but when they continued asking him1 he lifted up himself and said unto them1 ,he that is without sin among you1 let him first cast a stone at her4 ,and again he stooped down1 and with his finger wrote on the ground4 ,and they1 when they heard it1 went out one by one1 beginning from the eldest1 even unto the last3 and ,jesus was left alone1 and the woman1 where she was1 in the midst4 ,and ,jesus lifted up himself1 and said unto her1 ,woman1 where are they8 did no man condemn thee8 ,and she said1 ,no man1 ,lord4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,neither do ,i condemn thee3 go thy way2 from henceforth sin no more4 ,,the ,,light ,,of ,,the ,,world4 ,again therefore ,jesus spake unto them1 saying1 ,i am the light of the world3 he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness1 but shall have the light of life4 ,the ,pharisees therefore said unto him1 ,thou bearest witness of thyself2 thy witness is not true4 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,even if ,i bear witness of myself1 my witness is true2 for ,i know whence ,i came1 and whither ,i go2 but ye know not whence ,i come1 or whither ,i go4 ,ye judge after the flesh2 ,i judge no man4 ,yea and if ,i judge1 my judgment is true2 for ,i am not alone1 but ,i and the ,father that sent me4 ,yea and in your law it is written1 that the witness of two men is true4 ,i am he that beareth witness of myself1 and the ,father that sent me beareth witness of me4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,where is thy ,father8 ,jesus answered1 ,ye know neither me1 nor my ,father3 if ye knew me1 ye would know my ,father also4 ,these words spake he in the treasury1 as he taught in the temple3 and no man took him2 because his hour was not yet come4 ,he said therefore again unto them1 ,i go away1 and ye shall seek me1 and shall die in your sin3 whither ,i go1 ye cannot come4 ,the ,jews therefore said1 ,will he kill himself1 that he saith1 ',whither ,i go1 ye cannot come8' ,and he said unto them1 ,ye are from beneath2 ,i am from above3 ye are of this world2 ,i am not of this world4 ,i said therefore unto you1 that ye shall die in your sins3 for except ye believe that ,i am he1 ye shall die in your sins4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,who art thou8 ,jesus said unto them1 ,even that which ,i have also spoken unto you from the beginning ,i have many things to speak and to judge concerning you2 howbeit he that sent me is true2 and the things which ,i heard from him1 these speak ,i unto the world4 ,they perceived not that he spake to them of the ,father4 ,jesus therefore said1 ,when ye have lifted up the ,son of man1 then shall ye know that ,i am he1 and that ,i do nothing of myself1 but as the ,father taught me1 ,i speak these things4 ,and he that sent me is with me2 he hath not left me alone2 for ,i do always the things that are pleasing to him4 ,as he spake these things1 many believed on him4 ,,the ,,freedom ,,of ,,the ,,soul4 ,jesus therefore said to those ,jews that had believed him1 ,if ye abide in my word1 then are ye truly my disciples2 and ye shall know the truth1 and the truth shall make you free4 ,they answered unto him1 ,we are ,abraham's seed1 and have never yet been in bondage to any man2 how sayest thou1 ',ye shall be made free'8 ,jesus answered them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin4 ,and the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever3 the son abideth for ever4 ,if therefore the ,son shall make you free1 ye shall be free indeed4 ,i know that ye are ,abraham's seed2 yet ye seek to kill me1 because my word hath not free course in you4 ,i speak the things which ,i have seen with my ,father3 and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father4 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,our father is ,abraham4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,if ye were ,abraham's children1 ye would do the works of ,abraham4 ,but now ye seek to kill me1 a man that hath told you the truth1 which ,i heard from ,god3 this did not ,abraham4 ,ye do the works of your father4 ,they said unto him1 ,we were not born of fornication2 we have one ,father1 even ,god4 ,jesus said unto them1 ,if ,god were your ,father1 ye would love me3 for ,i came forth and am come from ,god2 for neither have ,i come of myself1 but he sent me4 ,why do ye not understand my speech8 ,even because ye cannot hear my word4 ,ye are of your father the devil1 and the lusts of your father it is your will to do4 ,he was a murderer from the beginning1 and standeth not in the truth1 because there is no truth in him4 ,when he speaketh a lie1 he speaketh of his own3 for he is a liar1 and the father thereof4 ,but because ,i say the truth1 ye believe me not4 ,which of you convicteth me of sin8 ,if ,i say truth1 why do ye not believe me8 ,he that is of ,god heareth the words of ,god3 for this cause ye hear them not1 because ye are not of ,god4 ,the ,jews answered and said unto him1 ,say we not well that thou art a ,samaritan1 and hast a demon8 ,jesus answered1 ,i have not a demon3 but ,i honor my ,father1 and ye dishonor me4 ,but ,i seek not mine own glory3 there is one that seeketh and judgeth4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,if a man keep my word1 he shall never see death4 ,the ,jews said unto him1 ,now we know that thou hast a demon4 ,abraham died1 and the prophets2 and thou sayest1 ',if a man keep my word1 he shall never taste of death4' ,art thou greater than our father ,abraham1 who died8 and the prophets died3 whom makest thou thyself8 ,jesus answered1 ,if ,i glorify myself1 my glory is nothing3 it is my ,father that glorifieth me2 of whom ye say1 that he is your ,god2 and ye have not known him3 but ,i know him2 and if ,i should say1 ',i know him not1' ,i shall be like unto you1 a liar2 but ,i know him1 and keep his word4 ,your father ,abraham rejoiced to see my day2 and he saw it1 and was glad4 ,the ,jews therefore said unto him1 ,thou art not yet fifty years old1 and hast thou seen ,abraham8 ,jesus said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you4 ,before ,abraham was born1 ,i am4 ,they took up stones therefore to cast at him2 but ,jesus hid himself1 and went out of the temple4 ,,the ,,ministry ,,in ,,perea ,,the ,,mission ,,of ,,the ,,seventy4 ,and he arose and cometh into the borders of ,judaea and beyond the ,jordan2 and great multitudes followed him2 and he healed them there4 ,and the ,lord appointed seventy others1 and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place1 whither he himself was about to come4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the harvest indeed is plenteous1 but the laborers are few2 pray ye therefore the ,lord of the harvest1 that he send forth laborers into his harvest4 ,go your ways2 behold1 ,i send you forth as lambs into the midst of wolves4 ,carry no purse1 no wallet1 no shoes2 and salute no man on the way4 ,and into whatsoever house ye shall enter1 first say1 ',peace be to this house4' ,and if a son of peace be there1 your peace shall rest upon him2 but if not1 it shall turn to you again4 ,and in that same house remain1 eating and drinking such things as they give3 for the laborer is worthy of his hire4 ,go not from house to house4 ,and into whatsoever city ye enter1 and they receive you1 eat such things as are set before you3 and heal the sick that are therein1 and say unto them1 ',the kingdom of ,god is come nigh unto you4' ,but into whatsoever city ye shall enter1 and they receive you not1 go out into the streets thereof and say1 ',even the dust from your city1 that cleaveth to our feet1 we wipe off against you3 nevertheless know this1 that the kingdom of ,god is come nigh4' ,i say unto you1 ,it shall be more tolerable in that day for ,sodom1 than for that city4 ,he that heareth you heareth me2 and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me2 and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me4 ,,the ,,return ,,of ,,the ,,seventy4 ,and the seventy returned with joy1 saying1 ,lord1 even the demons are subject unto us in thy name4 ,and he said unto them1 ,i beheld ,satan fallen as lightning from heaven4 ,behold1 ,i have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions1 and over all the power of the enemy3 and nothing shall in any wise hurt you4 ,nevertheless in this rejoice not1 that the spirits are subject unto you3 but rejoice that your names are written in heaven4 ,,the ,,meek ,,and ,,lowly4 ,in that same hour he rejoiced in the ,holy ,spirit1 and said1 ,i thank thee1 ,o ,father1 ,lord of heaven and earth1 that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding1 and didst reveal them unto babes2 yea1 ,father2 for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight4 ,all things have been delivered unto me of my ,father3 and no one knoweth who the ,son is1 save the ,father2 and who the ,father is1 save the ,son1 and he to whomsoever the ,son willeth to reveal him4 ,and turning to the disciples1 he said privately1 ,blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see3 for ,i say unto you1 that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see1 and saw them not2 and to hear the things which ye hear1 and heard them not4 ,come unto me1 all ye that labor and are heavy laden1 and ,i will give you rest4 ,take my yoke upon you1 and learn of me2 for ,i am meek and lowly in heart3 and ye shall find rest unto your souls4 ,for my yoke is easy1 and my burden is light4 ,,the ,,unrepentant ,,cities4 ,then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done1 because they repented not4 ,woe unto thee1 ,chorazin6 woe unto thee1 ,bethsaida6 for if the mighty works had been done in ,tyre and ,sidon which were done in you1 they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes4 ,but ,i say unto you1 it shall be more tolerable for ,tyre and ,sidon in the day of judgment1 than for you4 ,and thou1 ,capernaum1 shalt thou be exalted unto heaven8 thou shalt go down unto ,hades3 for if the mighty works had been done in ,sodom which were done in thee1 it would have remained until this day4 ,but ,i say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of ,sodom in the day of judgment1 than for thee4 ,,the ,,good ,,samaritan4 ,and behold1 a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him1 saying1 ,teacher1 what shall ,i do to inherit eternal life8 ,and he said unto him1 ,what is written in the law8 how readest thou8 ,and he answering said1 ,thou shalt love the ,lord thy ,god with all thy heart1 and with all thy soul1 and with all thy strength1 and with all thy mind2 and thy neighbor as thyself4 ,and he said unto him1 ,thou hast answered right3 this do and thou shalt live4 ,but he1 desiring to justify himself1 said unto ,jesus1 ,and who is my neighbor8 ,jesus made answer and said1 ,a certain man was going down from ,jerusalem to ,jericho2 and he fell among robbers1 who both stripped him and beat him1 and departed1 leaving him half dead4 ,and by chance a certain priest was going down that way3 and when he saw him1 he passed by on the other side4 ,and in like manner a ,levite also1 when he came to the place1 and saw him1 passed by on the other side4 ,but a certain ,samaritan1 as he journeyed1 came where he was3 and when he saw him1 he was moved with compassion1 and came to him1 and bound up his wounds1 pouring on them oil and wine2 and he set him on his own beast1 and brought him to an inn1 and took care of him4 ,and on the morrow he took out two shillings1 and gave them to the host1 and said1 ',take care of him3 and whatsoever thou spendest more1 ,i1 when ,i come back again1 will repay thee4' ,which of these three1 thinkest thou1 proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers8 ,and he said1 ,he that showed mercy on him4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,go1 and do thou likewise4 ,,in ,,jerusalem--,,the ,,attempt ,,to ,,arrest ,,him4 ,,the ,,friends ,,at ,,bethany4 ,now as they went on their way1 he entered into a certain village3 and a certain woman named ,martha received him into her house4 ,and she had a sister called ,mary1 who also sat at the ,lord's feet and heard his word4 ,but ,martha was cumbered about much serving2 and she came up to him1 and said1 ,lord1 dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone8 bid her therefore that she help me4 ,but the ,lord answered and said unto her1 ,martha1 ,martha1 thou art anxious and troubled about many things3 but one thing is needful3 for ,mary hath chosen the good part1 which shall not be taken away from her4 ,a ,,miracle ,,in ,,jerusalem4 ,and as he passed by1 he saw a man blind from his birth4 ,and his disciples asked him1 saying1 ,rabbi1 who sinned1 this man1 or his parents1 that he should be born blind8 ,jesus answered1 ,neither did this man sin1 nor his parents3 but that the works of ,god should be made manifest in him4 ,we must work the works of him that sent me1 while it is day3 the night cometh1 when no man can work4 ,when ,i am in the world1 ,i am the light of the world4 ,when he had thus spoken he spat on the ground1 and made clay of the spittle1 and anointed his eyes with the clay1 and said unto him1 ,go1 wash in the pool of ,siloam 7which is by interpretation1 ,sent74 ,he went away therefore1 and washed1 and came seeing4 ,the neighbors therefore1 and they that saw him aforetime1 that he was a beggar1 said1 ,is not this he that sat and begged8 ,others said1 ,it is he3 others said1 ,no1 but he is like him4 ,he said1 ,i am he4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,how then were thine eyes opened8 ,he answered1 ,the man that is called ,jesus made clay and anointed mine eyes1 and said unto me1 ',go to ,siloam1 and wash3' so ,i went away and washed1 and ,i received sight4 ,and they said unto him1 ,where is he8 ,he saith1 ,i know not4 ,they bring to the ,pharisees him that aforetime was blind4 ,now it was the sabbath on the day when ,jesus made the clay1 and opened his eyes4 ,again therefore the ,pharisees also asked him how he received his sight4 ,and he said unto them1 ,he put clay upon mine eyes1 and ,i washed1 and ,i see4 ,some therefore of the ,pharisees said4 ,this man is not from ,god1 because he keepeth not the sabbath4 ,but others said1 ,how can a man that is a sinner do such signs8 ,and there was a division among them4 ,they say therefore unto the blind man again1 ,what sayest thou of him1 in that he opened thine eyes8 ,and he said1 ,he is a prophet4 ,the ,jews therefore did not believe concerning him1 that he had been blind1 and had received his sight1 until they called the parents of him that had received his sight1 and asked them1 saying1 ,is this your son1 who ye say was born blind8 how then doth he now see8 ,his parents answered and said1 ,we know that this is our son1 and that he was born blind3 but how he now seeth1 we know not2 or who opened his eyes1 we know not3 ask him2 he is of age2 he shall speak for himself4 ,these things said his parents1 because they feared the ,jews2 for the ,jews had agreed already1 that if any man should confess him to be ,christ1 he should be put out of the synagogue4 ,therefore said his parents1 ,he is of age2 ask him4 ,so they called a second time the man that was blind1 and said unto him1 ,give glory to ,god3 we know that this man is a sinner4 ,he therefore answered1 ,whether he is a sinner1 ,i know not3 one thing ,i know1 that1 whereas ,i was blind1 now ,i see4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,what did he to thee8 how opened he thine eyes4 ,he answered them1 ,i told you even now1 and ye did not hear2 wherefore would ye hear it again8 would ye also become his disciples8 ,and they reviled him1 and said1 ,thou art his disciple2 but we are disciples of ,moses4 ,we know that ,god hath spoken unto ,moses3 but as for this man1 we know not whence he is4 ,the man answered and said unto them4 ,why1 herein is the marvel1 that ye know not whence he is1 and yet he opened mine eyes4 ,we know that ,god heareth not sinners3 but if any man be a worshipper of ,god1 and do his will1 him he heareth4 ,since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind4 ,if this man were not from ,god1 he could do nothing4 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,thou wast altogether born in sins1 and dost thou teach us8 ,and they cast him out4 ,jesus heard that they had cast him out3 and finding him1 he said1 ,dost thou believe on the ,son of ,god8 ,he answered and said1 ,and who is he1 ,lord1 that ,i may believe on him8 ,jesus said unto him1 ,thou hast both seen him1 and he it is that speaketh with thee4 ,and he said1 ,lord1 ,i believe4 ,and he worshipped him4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,for judgment came ,i into this world1 that they that see not may see2 and that they that see may become blind4 ,those of the ,pharisees who were with him heard these things1 and said unto him1 ,are we also blind8 ,jesus said unto them1 ,if ye were blind1 ye would have no sin3 but now ye say1 ',we see3' your sin remaineth4 ,,the ,,good ,,shepherd4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep1 but climbeth up some other way1 the same is a thief and a robber4 ,but he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep4 ,to him the porter openeth2 and the sheep hear his voice3 and he calleth his own sheep by name1 and leadeth them out4 ,when he hath put forth all his own1 he goeth before them1 and the sheep follow him3 for they know his voice4 ,and a stranger will they not follow1 but will flee from him3 for they know not the voice of strangers4 ,this parable spake ,jesus unto them3 but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them4 ,jesus therefore said unto them again1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,i am the door of the sheep4 ,all that came before me are thieves and robbers3 but the sheep did not hear them4 ,i am the door2 by me if any man enter in1 he shall be saved1 and shall go in and go out1 and shall find pasture4 ,the thief cometh not1 but that he may steal1 and kill1 and destroy3 ,i came that they may have life1 and may have it abundantly4 ,i am the good shepherd3 the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep4 ,he that is a hireling1 and not a shepherd1 whose own the sheep are not1 beholdeth the wolf coming1 and leaveth the sheep1 and fleeth1 and the wolf snatcheth them1 and scattereth them2 he fleeth because he is a hireling1 and careth not for the sheep4 ,i am the good shepherd2 and ,i know mine own1 and mine own know me1 even as the ,father knoweth me1 and ,i know the ,father2 and ,i lay down my life for the sheep4 ,and other sheep ,i have1 which are not of this fold3 them also ,i must bring1 and they shall hear my voice3 and they shall become one flock1 one shepherd4 ,therefore doth the ,father love me1 because ,i lay down my life1 that ,i may take it again4 ,no one taketh it away from me1 but ,i lay it down of myself4 ,i have power to lay it down1 and ,i have power to take it again4 ,this commandment received ,i from my ,father4 ,there arose a division again among the ,jews because of these words4 ,and many of them said1 ,he hath a demon1 and is mad2 why hear ye him8 ,others said1 ,these are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon4 ,can a demon open the eyes of the blind8 ,,jesus ,,at ,,the ,,feast ,,of ,,dedication4 ,and it was the feast of the dedication at ,jerusalem2 it was winter2 and ,jesus was walking in the temple1 in ,solomon's porch4 ,the ,jews therefore came round about him1 and said unto him1 ,how long dost thou hold us in suspense8 ,if thou art the ,christ1 tell us plainly4 ,jesus answered them1 ,i told you1 and ye believe not2 the works that ,i do in my ,father's name1 these bear witness of me4 ,but ye believe not1 because ye are not of my sheep4 ,my sheep hear my voice1 and ,i know them1 and they follow me3 and ,i give unto them eternal life2 and they shall never perish1 and no one shall snatch them out of my hand4 ,my ,father1 who hath given them unto me1 is greater than all2 and no one is able to snatch them out of the ,father's hand4 ,i and the ,father are one4 ,the ,jews took up stones again to stone him4 ,jesus answered them1 ,many good works have ,i showed you from the ,father2 for which of those works do ye stone me8 ,the ,jews answered him1 ,for a good work we stone thee not1 but for blasphemy2 and because that thou1 being a man1 makest thyself ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,is it not written in your law1 ',i said1 ,ye are gods8' ,if he called them gods1 unto whom the word of ,god came 7and the scripture cannot be broken71 say ye of him1 whom the ,father sanctified and sent into the world1 ',thou blasphemest2' because ,i said1 ',i am the ,son of ,god8' ,if ,i do not the works of my ,father1 believe me not4 ,but if ,i do them1 though ye believe not me1 believe the works3 that ye may know and understand that the ,father is in me1 and ,i in the ,father4 ,they sought again to take him3 and he went forth out of their hand4 ,,renewed ,,ministry ,,in ,,perea ,,jesus ,,and ,,the ,,pharisees4 ,and he went away again beyond the ,jordan into the place where ,john was at the first baptizing2 and there he abode4 ,and many came unto him2 and they said1 ,john indeed did no sign3 but all things whatsoever ,john spake of this man were true4 ,and many believed on him there4 ,now a ,pharisee asketh him to dine with him3 and he went in1 and sat down to meat4 ,and when the ,pharisee saw it1 he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner4 ,and the ,lord said unto him1 ,now ye the ,pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter2 but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness4 ,ye foolish ones1 did not he that made the outside make the inside also8 ,but give for alms those things which are within2 and behold1 all things are clean unto you4 ,and when he was come out from thence1 the scribes and the ,pharisees began to press upon him vehemently1 and to provoke him to speak of many things2 laying wait for him1 to catch something out of his mouth4 ,in the meantime1 when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together1 insomuch that they trod one upon another1 he began to say unto his disciples first of all1 ,beware ye of the leaven of the ,pharisees1 which is hypocrisy4 ,but there is nothing covered up1 that shall not be revealed2 and hid1 that shall not be known4 ,,warning ,,against ,,covetousness4 ,and one out of the multitude said unto him1 ,teacher1 bid my brother divide the inheritance with me4 ,but he said unto him1 ,man1 who made me a judge or a divider over you8 ,and he said unto them1 ,take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness3 for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth4 ,and he spake a parable unto them1 saying1 ,the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully2 and he reasoned within himself1 saying1 ',what shall ,i do1 because ,i have not where to bestow my fruits8' ,and he said1 ',this will ,i do3 ,i will pull down my barns1 and build greater2 and there will ,i bestow all my grain and my goods4 ,and ,i will say to my soul1 ,soul1 thou hast much goods laid up for many years2 take thine ease1 eat1 drink1 be merry4' ,but ,god said unto him1 ',thou foolish one1 this night is thy soul required of thee3 and the things which thou hast prepared1 whose shall they be8' ,so is he that layeth up treasure for himself1 and is not rich toward ,god4 ,,the ,,fall ,,of ,,the ,,tower4 ,now there were some present at that very season who told him of the ,galilaeans1 whose blood ,pilate had mingled with their sacrifices4 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,think ye that these ,galilaeans were sinners above all the ,galilaeans1 because they have suffered these things8 ,i tell you1 ,nay3 but1 except ye repent1 ye shall all in like manner perish4 ,or those eighteen1 upon whom the tower in ,siloam fell1 and killed them1 think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in ,jerusalem8 ,i tell you1 ,nay3 but1 except ye repent1 ye shall all likewise perish4 ,and he spake this parable3 ,a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard2 and he came seeking fruit thereon1 and found none4 ,and he said unto the vinedresser1 ',behold1 these three years ,i come seeking fruit on this fig tree1 and find none3 cut it down2 why doth it also cumber the ground4' ,and he answering saith unto him1 ',lord1 let it alone this year also1 till ,i shall dig about it1 and dung it3 and if it bear fruit thenceforth1 well2 but if not1 thou shalt cut it down4' ,,the ,,uses ,,of ,,the ,,sabbath4 ,and he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day4 ,and behold1 a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years2 and she was bowed together1 and could in no wise lift herself up4 ,and when ,jesus saw her1 he called her1 and said to her1 ,woman1 thou art loosed from thine infirmity4 ,and he laid his hands upon her3 and immediately she was made straight1 and glorified ,god4 ,and the ruler of the synagogue1 being moved with indignation because ,jesus had healed on the sabbath1 answered and said to the multitude1 ,there are six days in which men ought to work3 in them therefore come and be healed1 and not on the day of the sabbath4 ,but the ,lord answered him and said1 ,ye hypocrites1 doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall1 and lead him away to watering8 ,and ought not this woman1 being a daughter of ,abraham1 whom ,satan had bound1 lo1 these eighteen years1 to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath8 ,and as he said these things1 all his adversaries were put to shame3 and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him4 ,a ,,question ,,of ,,salvation4 ,and he went on his way through cities and villages1 teaching1 and journeying on unto ,jerusalem4 ,and one said unto him1 ,lord1 are they few that are saved8 ,and he said unto them1 ,strive to enter in by the narrow door3 for many1 ,i say unto you1 shall seek to enter in1 and shall not be able4 ,when once the master of the house is risen up1 and hath shut to the door1 and ye begin to stand without and to knock at the door1 saying1 ',lord1 open to us1' and he shall answer and say to you1 ',i know you not whence ye are'2 then shall ye begin to say1 ',we did eat and drink in thy presence1 and thou didst teach in our streets'2 and he shall say1 ',i tell you1 ,i know not whence ye are2 depart from me1 all ye workers of iniquity4' ,there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth1 when ye shall see ,abraham1 and ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 and all the prophets1 in the kingdom of ,god1 and yourselves cast forth without4 ,and they shall come from the east and west1 and from the north and south1 and shall sit down in the kingdom of ,god4 ,and behold1 there are last who shall be first1 and there are first who shall be last4 ,a ,,message ,,to ,,herod4 ,in that very hour there came certain ,pharisees1 saying to him1 ,get thee out1 and go hence3 for ,herod would fain kill thee4 ,and he said unto them1 ,go and say to that fox1 ',behold1 ,i cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow1 and the third day ,i am perfected4' ,nevertheless ,i must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the day following3 for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of ,jerusalem4 ,,the ,,ox ,,in ,,the ,,pit4 ,and it came to pass1 when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the ,pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread1 that they were watching him4 ,and behold1 there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy4 ,and ,jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and ,pharisees1 saying1 ,is it lawful to heal on the sabbath1 or not8 ,but they held their peace4 ,and he took him1 and healed him1 and let him go4 ,and he said unto them1 ,which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well1 and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day8 ,and they could not answer again unto these things4 ,,the ,,chief ,,places ,,at ,,the ,,feast4 ,and he spake a parable unto those that were bidden1 when he marked how they chose out the chief seats2 saying unto them1 ,when thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast1 sit not down in the chief seat2 lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him1 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee1 ',give this man place'2 and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place4 ,but when thou art bidden1 go and sit down in the lowest place2 that when he that hath bidden thee cometh1 he may say to thee1 ',friend1 go up higher'2 then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee4 ,for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled3 and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted4 ,and he said to him also that had bidden him1 ,when thou makest a dinner or a supper1 call not thy friends1 nor thy brethren1 nor thy kinsmen1 nor rich neighbors2 lest haply they also bid thee again1 and a recompense be made thee4 ,but when thou makest a feast1 bid the poor1 the maimed1 the lame1 the blind3 and thou shalt be blessed2 because they have not wherewith to recompense thee3 for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just4 ,,the ,,slighted ,,invitation4 ,and when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things1 he said unto him1 ,blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of ,god4 ,but he said unto him1 ,a certain man made a great supper2 and he bade many3 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden1 ',come2 for all things are now ready4' ,and they all with one consent began to make excuse4 ,the first said unto him1 ',i have bought a field1 and ,i must needs go out and see it2 ,i pray thee have me excused4' ,and another said1 ',i have bought five yoke of oxen1 and ,i go to prove them2 ,i pray thee have me excused4' ,and another said1 ',i have married a wife1 and therefore ,i cannot come4' ,and the servant came1 and told his lord these things4 ,then the master of the house1 being angry1 said to his servant1 ',go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city1 and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame4' ,and the servant said1 ',lord1 what thou didst command is done1 and yet there is room4' ,and the lord said unto the servant1 ',go out into the highways and hedges1 and constrain them to come in1 that my house may be filled4 ,for ,i say unto you1 that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper4' ,,counting ,,the ,,cost4 ,now there went with him great multitudes3 and he turned1 and said unto them1 ,if any man cometh unto me1 and hateth not his own father1 and mother1 and wife1 and children1 and brethren1 and sisters1 yea1 and his own life also1 he cannot be my disciple4 ,whosoever doth not bear his own cross1 and come after me1 cannot be my disciple4 ,for which of you1 desiring to build a tower1 doth not first sit down and count the cost1 whether he have wherewith to complete it8 ,lest haply1 when he hath laid a foundation1 and is not able to finish1 all that behold begin to mock him1 saying1 ',this man began to build1 and was not able to finish4' ,or what king1 as he goeth to encounter another king in war1 will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand8 ,or else1 while the other is yet a great way off1 he sendeth an ambassage1 and asketh conditions of peace4 ,so therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath1 he cannot be my disciple4 ,salt therefore is good3 but if even the salt have lost its savor1 wherewith shall it be seasoned8 ,it is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill3 men cast it out4 ,he that hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,,the ,,ninety ,,and ,,nine4 ,now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him4 ,and both the ,pharisees and the scribes murmured1 saying1 ,this man receiveth sinners1 and eateth with them4 ,and he spake unto them this parable1 saying1 ,what man of you1 having a hundred sheep1 and having lost one of them1 doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness1 and go after that which is lost1 until he find it8 ,and when he hath found it1 he layeth it on his shoulders1 rejoicing4 ,and when he cometh home1 he calleth together his friends and his neighbors1 saying unto them1 ',rejoice with me1 for ,i have found my sheep which was lost4' ,i say unto you1 that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth1 more than over ninety and nine righteous persons1 who need no repentance4 ,,the ,,lost ,,coin4 ,or what woman having ten pieces of silver1 if she lose one piece1 doth not light a lamp1 and sweep the house1 and seek diligently until she find it8 ,and when she hath found it1 she calleth together her friends and neighbors1 saying1 ',rejoice with me1 for ,i have found the piece which ,i had lost4' ,even so1 ,i say unto you1 there is joy in the presence of the angels of ,god over one sinner that repenteth4 ,,the ,,prodigal ,,son4 ,and he said1 ,a certain man had two sons3 and the younger of them said to his father1 ',father1 give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me4' ,and he divided unto them his living4 ,and not many days after1 the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country2 and there he wasted his substance with riotous living4 ,and when he had spent all1 there arose a mighty famine in that country2 and he began to be in want4 ,and he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country2 and he sent him into his fields to feed swine4 ,and he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat3 and no man gave unto him4 ,but when he came to himself he said1 ',how many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare1 and ,i perish here with hunger6 ,i will arise and go to my father1 and will say unto him1 ,father1 ,i have sinned against heaven1 and in thy sight3 ,i am no more worthy to be called thy son3 make me as one of thy hired servants4' ,and he arose1 and came to his father4 ,but while he was yet afar off1 his father saw him1 and was moved with compassion1 and ran1 and fell on his neck1 and kissed him4 ,and the son said unto him1 ',father1 ,i have sinned against heaven1 and in thy sight3 ,i am no more worthy to be called thy son4' ,but the father said to his servants1 ',bring forth quickly the best robe1 and put it on him2 and put a ring on his hand1 and shoes on his feet3 and bring the fatted calf1 and kill it1 and let us eat1 and make merry3 for this my son was dead1 and is alive again2 he was lost1 and is found4' ,and they began to be merry4 ,now his elder son was in the field3 and as he came and drew nigh to the house1 he heard music and dancing4 ,and he called to him one of the servants1 and inquired what these things might be4 ,and he said unto him1 ',thy brother is come2 and thy father hath killed the fatted calf1 because he hath received him safe and sound4' ,but he was angry1 and would not go in3 and his father came out1 and entreated him4 ,but he answered and said to his father1 ',lo1 these many years do ,i serve thee1 and ,i never transgressed a commandment of thine2 and yet thou never gavest me a kid1 that ,i might make merry with my friends2 but when this thy son came1 who hath devoured thy living with harlots1 thou killedst for him the fatted calf4' ,and he said unto him1 ',son1 thou art ever with me1 and all that is mine is thine4 ,but it was meet to make merry and be glad3 for this thy brother was dead1 and is alive again2 and was lost1 and is found4' ,,the ,,unjust ,,steward4 ,and he said also unto the disciples1 ,there was a certain rich man1 who had a steward2 and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods4 ,and he called him1 and said unto him1 ',what is this that ,i hear of thee8 render the account of thy stewardship2 for thou canst be no longer steward' ,and the steward said within himself1 ',what shall ,i do1 seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me8 ,i have not strength to dig2 to beg ,i am ashamed4 ,i am resolved what to do1 that1 when ,i am put out of the stewardship1 they may receive me into their houses4' ,and calling to him each one of his lord's debtors1 he said to the first1 ',how much owest thou unto my lord8' ,and he said1 ',a hundred measures of oil4' ,and he said unto him1 ',take thy bond1 and sit down quickly and write fifty4' ,then said he to another1 ',and how much owest thou8' ,and he said1 ',a hundred measures of wheat4' ,he saith unto him1 ',take thy bond1 and write fourscore4' ,and his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely3 for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness2 that1 when it shall fail1 they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles4 ,he that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much3 and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much4 ,if therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon1 who will commit to your trust the true riches8 ,and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's1 who will give you that which is your own8 ,no servant can serve two masters3 for either he will hate the one1 and love the other2 or else he will hold to one1 and despise the other4 ,ye cannot serve ,god and mammon4 ,a ,,parable ,,to ,,the ,,lovers ,,of ,,money4 ,and the ,pharisees1 who were lovers of money1 heard all these things2 and they scoffed at him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men2 but ,god knoweth your hearts3 for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of ,god4 ,now there was a certain rich man1 and he was clothed in purple and fine linen1 faring sumptuously every day3 and a certain beggar named ,lazarus was laid at his gate1 full of sores1 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table2 yea1 even the dogs came and licked his sores4 ,and it came to pass1 that the beggar died1 and that he was carried away by the angels into ,abraham's bosom3 and the rich man also died1 and was buried4 ,and in ,hades he lifted up his eyes1 being in torments1 and seeth ,abraham afar off1 and ,lazarus in his bosom4 ,and he cried and said1 ',father ,abraham1 have mercy on me1 and send ,lazarus1 that he may dip the tip of his finger in water1 and cool my tongue2 for ,i am in anguish in this flame4' ,but ,abraham said1 ',son1 remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things1 and ,lazarus in like manner evil things2 but now he is comforted1 and thou art in anguish4 ,and besides all this1 between us and you there is a great gulf fixed1 that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able1 and that none may cross over from thence to us4' ,and he said1 ',i pray thee therefore1 father1 that thou wouldest send him to my father's house2 for ,i have five brethren2 that he may testify unto them1 lest they also come into this place of torment4' ,but ,abraham saith1 ',they have ,moses and the prophets2 let them hear them4' ,and he said1 ',nay1 father ,abraham3 but if one go to them from the dead1 they will repent4' ,and he said unto him1 ',if they hear not ,moses and the prophets1 neither will they be persuaded1 if one rise from the dead4' ,,increase ,,our ,,faith4 ,and the apostles said unto the ,lord1 ,increase our faith4 ,and the ,lord said4 ,if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed1 ye would say unto this sycamine tree1 ',be thou rooted up1 and be thou planted in the sea'2 and it would obey you4 ,but who is there of you1 having a servant plowing or keeping sheep1 that will say unto him1 when he is come in from the field4 ',come straightway and sit down to meat'2 and will not rather say unto him1 ',make ready wherewith ,i may sup1 and gird thyself1 and serve me1 till ,i have eaten and drunken2 and afterward thou shalt eat and drink8' ,doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded8 ,even so ye also1 when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you1 say1 ',we are unprofitable servants2 we have done that which it was our duty to do4' ,,near ,,jerusalem--,,the ,,plot ,,to ,,kill ,,him4 ,,the ,,raising ,,of ,,lazarus4 ,now a certain man was sick1 ,lazarus of ,bethany1 of the village of ,mary and her sister ,martha4 ,and it was that ,mary who anointed the ,lord with ointment1 and wiped his feet with her hair1 whose brother ,lazarus was sick4 ,the sisters therefore sent unto him1 saying1 ,lord1 behold1 he whom thou lovest is sick4 ,but when ,jesus heard it1 he said1 ,this sickness is not unto death1 but for the glory of ,god1 that the son of ,god may be glorified thereby4 ,now ,jesus loved ,martha1 and her sister1 and ,lazarus4 ,when therefore he heard that he was sick1 he abode at that time two days in the place where he was4 ,then after this he saith to the disciples1 ,let us go into ,judaea again4 ,the disciples say unto him1 ,rabbi1 the ,jews were but now seeking to stone thee3 and goest thou thither again8 ,jesus answered1 ,are there not twelve hours in the day8 ,if a man walk in the day1 he stumbleth not1 because he seeth the light of this world4 ,but if a man walk in the night1 he stumbleth1 because the light is not in him4 ,these things spake he3 and after this he saith unto them4 ,our friend ,lazarus is fallen asleep2 but ,i go1 that ,i may awake him out of sleep4 ,the disciples therefore said unto him1 ,lord1 if he is fallen asleep1 he will recover4 ,now ,jesus had spoken of his death3 but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep4 ,then ,jesus therefore said unto them plainly1 ,lazarus is dead4 ,and ,i am glad for your sakes that ,i was not there1 to the intent ye may believe2 nevertheless let us go unto him4 ,thomas therefore1 who is called ,didymus1 said unto his fellow-disciples1 ,let us also go1 that we may die with him4 ,so when ,jesus came1 he found that he had been in the tomb four days already4 ,now ,bethany was nigh unto ,jerusalem1 about fifteen furlongs off2 and many of the ,jews had come to ,martha and ,mary1 to console them concerning their brother4 ,martha therefore1 when she heard that ,jesus was coming1 went and met him3 but ,mary still sat in the house4 ,martha therefore said unto ,jesus1 ,lord1 if thou hadst been here1 my brother had not died4 ,and even now ,i know that1 whatsoever thou shalt ask of ,god1 ,god will give thee4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,thy brother shall rise again4 ,martha saith unto him1 ,i know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day4 ,jesus said unto her1 ,i am the resurrection1 and the life3 he that believeth on me1 though he die1 yet shall he live2 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die4 ,believest thou this8 ,she saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord4 ,i have believed that thou art the ,christ1 the ,son of ,god1 even he that cometh into the world4 ,and when she had said this1 she went away1 and called ,mary her sister secretly1 saying1 ,the ,teacher is here1 and calleth thee4 ,and she1 when she heard it1 arose quickly1 and went unto him4 7,now ,jesus was not yet come into the village1 but was still in the place where ,martha met him47 ,the ,jews then who were with her in the house1 and were consoling her1 when they saw ,mary1 that she rose up quickly and went out1 followed her1 supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there4 ,mary therefore1 when she came where ,jesus was1 and saw him1 fell down at his feet1 saying unto him4 ,lord1 if thou hadst been here1 my brother had not died4 ,when ,jesus therefore saw her weeping1 and the ,jews also weeping who came with her1 he groaned in the spirit1 and was troubled1 and said1 ,where have ye laid him8 ,they say unto him1 ,lord1 come and see4 ,jesus wept4 ,the ,jews therefore said1 ,behold how he loved him6 ,but some of them said1 ,could not this man1 who has opened the eyes of him that was blind1 have caused that this man also should not die8 ,jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb4 ,now it was a cave1 and a stone lay against it4 ,jesus saith1 ,take ye away the stone4 ,martha1 the sister of him that was dead1 saith unto him1 ,lord1 by this time the body decayeth2 for he hath been dead four days4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,said ,i not unto thee1 that1 if thou believedst1 thou shouldest see the glory of ,god8 ,so they took away the stone4 ,and ,jesus lifted up his eyes1 and said1 ,father1 ,i thank thee that thou heardest me4 ,and ,i knew that thou hearest me always3 but because of the multitude that standeth around ,i said it1 that they may believe that thou didst send me4 ,and when he had thus spoken1 he cried with a loud voice1 ,lazarus1 come forth4 ,he that was dead came forth1 bound hand and foot with grave-clothes2 and his face was bound about with a napkin4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,loose him1 and let him go4 ,many therefore of the ,jews1 who came to ,mary and beheld that which he did1 believed on him4 ,but some of them went away to the ,pharisees1 and told them the things which ,jesus had done4 ,,the ,,decision ,,of ,,the ,,council4 ,the chief priests therefore and the ,pharisees gathered a council1 and said1 ,what do we8 for this man doeth many signs4 ,if we let him thus alone1 all men will believe on him3 and the ,romans will come and take away both our place and our nation4 ,but a certain one of them1 ,caiaphas1 being high priest that year1 said unto them1 ,ye know nothing at all1 nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people1 and that the whole nation perish not4 ,now this he said not of himself3 but being high priest that year1 he prophesied that ,jesus should die for the nation2 and not for the nation only1 but that he might also gather together into one the children of ,god that are scattered abroad4 ,so from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death4 ,,his ,,withdrawal ,,to ,,ephraim ,,the ,,coming ,,of ,,the ,,kingdom4 ,jesus therefore walked no more openly among the ,jews1 but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness1 into a city called ,ephraim2 and there he tarried with the disciples4 ,and being asked by the ,pharisees1 when the kingdom of ,god cometh1 he answered them and said1 ,the kingdom of ,god cometh not with observation3 neither shall they say1 ',lo1 here6' or1 ',there6' for lo1 the kingdom of ,god is within you4 ,and he said unto the disciples1 ,the days will come1 when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the ,son of man1 and ye shall not see it4 ,and they shall say to you1 ',lo1 there6' ',lo1 here6' go not away1 nor follow after them2 for as the lightning1 when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven1 shineth unto the other part under heaven2 so shall the ,son of man be in his day4 ,but first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation4 ,and as it came to pass in the days of ,noah1 even so shall it be also in the days of the ,son of man4 ,they ate1 they drank1 they married1 they were given in marriage1 until the day that ,noah entered into the ark1 and the flood came1 and destroyed them all4 ,likewise even as it came to pass in the days of ,lot2 they ate1 they drank1 they bought1 they sold1 they planted1 they builded2 but in the day that ,lot went out from ,sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven1 and destroyed them all3 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the ,son of man is revealed4 ,in that day1 he that shall be on the housetop1 and his goods in the house1 let him not go down to take them away2 and let him that is in the field likewise not return back4 ,remember ,lot's wife4 ,whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it2 but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it4 ,,the ,,unjust ,,judge4 ,and he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray1 and not to faint2 saying1 ,there was in a city a judge1 who feared not ,god1 and regarded not man3 and there was a widow in that city3 and she came oft unto him1 saying1 ',avenge me of mine adversary4' ,and he would not for a while3 but afterward he said within himself1 ',though ,i fear not ,god1 nor regard man2 yet because this widow troubleth me1 ,i will avenge her1 lest she wear me out by her continual coming4' ,and the ,lord said1 ,hear what the unrighteous judge saith4 ,and shall not ,god avenge his elect1 that cry to him day and night1 and yet he is longsuffering over them8 ,i say unto you1 that he will avenge them speedily4 ,nevertheless1 when the ,son of man cometh1 shall he find faith on the earth8 ,,the ,,pharisee ,,and ,,the ,,publican4 ,and he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous1 and set all others at nought3 ,two men went up into the temple to pray2 the one a ,pharisee1 and the other a publican4 ,the ,pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself1 ',god1 ,i thank thee1 that ,i am not as the rest of men1 extortioners1 unjust1 adulterers1 or even as this publican4 ,i fast twice in the week2 ,i give tithes of all that ,i get4' ,but the publican1 standing afar off1 would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven1 but smote his breast1 saying1 ',god1 be thou merciful to me a sinner4' ,i say unto you1 ,this man went down to his house justified rather than the other3 for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled2 but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted4 ,,concerning ,,divorce4 ,and there came unto him ,pharisees1 trying him1 and saying1 ,is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause8 ,and he answered and said1 ,have ye not read1 that he who made them from the beginning made them1 male and female1 and said1 ',for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother1 and shall cleave to his wife2 and the two shall become one flesh8' ,so that they are no more two1 but one flesh4 ,what therefore ,god hath joined together1 let not man put asunder4 ,they say unto him1 ,why then did ,moses command to give a bill of divorcement1 and to put her away8 ,he saith unto them1 ,moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives3 but from the beginning it hath not been so4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall put away his wife1 except for fornication1 and shall marry another1 committeth adultery3 and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery4 ,the disciples say unto him1 ,if the case of the man is so with his wife1 it is not expedient to marry4 ,but he said unto them1 ,not all men can receive this saying1 but they to whom it is given4 ,for there are eunuchs1 that were so born from their mother's womb3 and there are eunuchs1 that were made eunuchs by men3 and there are eunuchs1 that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake4 ,he that is able to receive it1 let him receive it4 ,,jesus ,,and ,,the ,,children4 ,and they were bringing unto him little children1 that he should touch them3 and the disciples rebuked them4 ,but when ,jesus saw it1 he was moved with indignation1 and said unto them1 ,suffer the little children to come unto me2 forbid them not3 for to such belongeth the kingdom of ,god4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of ,god as a little child1 he shall in no wise enter therein4 ,and he took them in his arms1 and blessed them1 laying his hands upon them4 ,,the ,,rich ,,young ,,ruler4 ,and behold1 as he was going forth into the way1 a certain ruler ran to him1 and kneeled to him1 and asked him1 ,good ,teacher1 what good thing shall ,i do that ,i may have eternal life8 ,and he said unto him1 ,why askest thou me concerning that which is good8 ,none is good1 save one1 even ,god3 but if thou wouldest enter into life1 keep the commandments4 ,he saith unto him1 ,which8 ,and ,jesus said1 ,thou shalt not kill1 ,thou shalt not commit adultery1 ,thou shalt not steal1 ,thou shalt not bear false witness1 ,honor thy father and thy mother2 and1 ,thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself4 ,the young ruler saith unto him1 ,all these things have ,i observed from my youth up2 what lack ,i yet8 ,and ,jesus1 looking upon him1 loved him1 and said unto him1 ,one thing thou lackest yet3 if thou wouldest be perfect1 go1 sell that which thou hast1 and give to the poor1 and thou shalt have treasure in heaven3 and come1 follow me4 ,but when the young man heard the saying1 his countenance fell1 and he went away sorrowful2 for he was one that had great possessions4 ,and ,jesus said unto his disciples1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven4 ,and the disciples were amazed at his words4 ,but ,jesus answered again and said unto them1 ,children1 how hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of ,god6 ,it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye1 than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,and when the disciples heard it1 they were astonished exceedingly1 saying1 ,who then can be saved8 ,and ,jesus looking upon them said to them1 ,with men this is impossible3 but with ,god all things are possible4 ,then answered ,peter and said unto him1 ,lo1 we have left all1 and followed thee2 what then shall we have8 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 that ye who have followed me1 in the regeneration when the ,son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory1 ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones1 judging the twelve tribes of ,israel4 ,and every one that hath left houses1 or brethren1 or sisters1 or father1 or mother1 or children1 or lands1 for my name's sake1 shall receive a hundredfold now in this time1 houses1 and brethren1 and sisters1 and mothers1 and children1 and lands1 with persecutions1 and in the world to come shall inherit eternal life4 ,but many shall be last that are first2 and first that are last4 ,,the ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,vineyard4 ,for the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder1 who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard4 ,and when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day1 he sent them into his vineyard4 ,and he went out about the third hour1 and saw others standing in the market-place idle2 and to them he said1 ',go ye also into the vineyard1 and whatsoever is right ,i will give you4' ,and they went their way4 ,again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour1 and did likewise4 ,and about the eleventh hour he went out1 and found others standing2 and he saith unto them1 ',why stand ye here all the day idle8' ,they say unto him1 ',because no man hath hired us4' ,he saith unto them1 ',go ye also into the vineyard4' ,and when even was come1 the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward1 ',call the laborers and pay them their hire1 beginning from the last unto the first4' ,and when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour1 they received every man a shilling4 ,and when the first came1 they supposed that they would receive more2 and they likewise received every man a shilling4 ,and when they received it1 they murmured against the householder1 saying1 ',these last have spent but one hour1 and thou hast made them equal unto us1 who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat4' ,but he answered and said to one of them1 ',friend1 ,i do thee no wrong3 didst not thou agree with me for a shilling8 ,take up that which is thine1 and go thy way2 it is my will to give unto this last1 even as unto thee4 ,is it not lawful for me to do what ,i will with mine own8 or is thine eye evil1 because ,i am good8' ,so the last shall be first1 and the first last4 ,,the ,,last ,,journey ,,to ,,jerusalem ,,the ,,shadow ,,of ,,the ,,cross4 ,and they were on the way1 going up to ,jerusalem2 and ,jesus was going before them3 and they were amazed2 and they that followed were afraid4 ,and he took again the twelve1 and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him1 saying1 ,behold1 we go up to ,jerusalem2 and all the things that are written by the prophets shall be accomplished unto the ,son of man2 and he shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes2 and they shall condemn him to death1 and shall deliver him unto the ,gentiles3 and they shall mock him1 and shall spit upon him1 and shall scourge him1 and shall kill him2 and after three days he shall rise again4 ,and they understood none of these things3 and this saying was hid from them3 and they perceived not the things that were said4 ,,the ,,sons ,,of ,,thunder4 ,then came to him the mother of the sons of ,zebedee with her sons ,james and ,john1 worshipping him1 and asking a certain thing of him4 ,and he said unto her1 ,what wouldest thou8 ,she saith unto him1 ,command that these my two sons may sit1 one on thy right hand1 and one on thy left hand1 in thy kingdom4 ,but ,jesus answered and said1 ,ye know not what ye ask4 ,are ye able to drink the cup that ,i am about to drink8 or to be baptized with the baptism that ,i am baptized with8 ,and they said unto him1 ,we are able4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,the cup that ,i drink ye shall drink2 and with the baptism that ,i am baptized withal shall ye be baptized3 but to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give2 but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my ,father4 ,and when the ten heard it1 they began to be moved with indignation concerning ,james and ,john4 ,and ,jesus called them to him1 and saith unto them1 ,ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the ,gentiles lord it over them2 and their great ones exercise authority over them4 ,but it is not so among you3 but whosoever would become great among you1 shall be your minister2 and whosoever would be first among you1 shall be servant of all4 ,even as the ,son of man also came not to be ministered unto1 but to minister1 and to give his life a ransom for many4 ,,the ,,blind ,,man ,,of ,,jericho4 ,and they come to ,jericho3 and as they went out from ,jericho1 with his disciples and a great multitude1 the son of ,timaeus1 ,bartimaeus1 a blind beggar1 was sitting by the wayside1 begging4 ,and hearing the multitude going by1 he inquired what this meant1 and they told him that ,jesus of ,nazareth passeth by4 ,and when he heard that it was ,jesus the ,nazarene1 he began to cry out and say1 ,jesus1 thou son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 ,and ,jesus stood still1 and said1 ,call ye him4 ,and they call the blind man1 saying unto him1 ,be of good cheer3 rise1 he calleth thee4 ,and he1 casting away his garment1 sprang up1 and came to ,jesus4 ,and ,jesus answered him1 and said1 ,what wilt thou that ,i should do unto thee8 ,and the blind man said unto him1 ,rabboni1 that ,i may receive my sight4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,go thy way2 thy faith hath made thee whole4 ,and straightway he received his sight1 and followed him in the way1 glorifying ,god4 ,and all the people1 when they saw it1 gave praise unto ,god4 ,,the ,,visit ,,to ,,zacchaeus4 ,and he entered and was passing through ,jericho4 ,and behold1 a man called by name ,zacchaeus2 and he was a chief publican1 and he was rich4 ,and he sought to see ,jesus who he was2 and could not for the crowd1 because he was little of stature4 ,and he ran on before1 and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him3 for he was to pass that way4 ,and when ,jesus came to the place1 he looked up1 and said unto him1 ,zacchaeus1 make haste1 and come down2 for to-day ,i must abide at thy house4 ,and he made haste1 and came down1 and received him joyfully4 ,and when they saw it1 they all murmured1 saying1 ,he is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner4 ,and ,zacchaeus stood1 and said unto the ,lord1 ,behold1 ,lord1 the half of my goods ,i give to the poor2 and if ,i have wrongfully exacted aught of any man1 ,i restore fourfold4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,to-day is salvation come to this house1 forasmuch as he also is a son of ,abraham4 ,for the ,son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost4 ,,the ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,pounds4 ,and as they heard these things1 he added and spake a parable1 because he was nigh to ,jerusalem1 and because they supposed that the kingdom of ,god was immediately to appear4 ,he said therefore1 ,a certain nobleman went into a far country1 to receive for himself a kingdom1 and to return4 ,and he called ten servants of his1 and gave them ten pounds1 and said unto them1 ',trade ye herewith till ,i come4' ,but his citizens hated him1 and sent an ambassage after him1 saying1 ',we will not that this man reign over us4' ,and it came to pass1 when he was come back again1 having received the kingdom1 that he commanded these servants1 unto whom he had given the money1 to be called to him1 that he might know what they had gained by trading4 ,and the first came before him1 saying1 ',lord1 thy pound hath made ten pounds more4' ,and he said unto him1 ',well done1 thou good servant3 because thou wast found faithful in a very little1 have thou authority over ten cities4' ,and the second came1 saying1 ',thy pound1 ,lord1 hath made five pounds4' ,and he said unto him also1 ',be thou also over five cities4' ,and another came1 saying1 ',lord1 behold1 here is thy pound1 which ,i kept laid up in a napkin3 for ,i feared thee1 because thou art an austere man3 thou takest up that which thou layedst not down1 and reapest that which thou didst not sow4' ,he saith unto him1 ',out of thine own mouth will ,i judge thee1 thou wicked servant4 ,thou knewest that ,i am an austere man1 taking up that which ,i laid not down1 and reaping that which ,i did not sow2 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank1 and ,i at my coming should have required it with interest8' ,and he said unto them that stood by1 ',take away from him the pound1 and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds4' ,and they said unto him1 ',lord1 he hath ten pounds4' ',i say unto you1 that unto every one that hath shall be given2 but from him that hath not1 even that which he hath shall be taken away from him4 ,but these mine enemies1 that would not that ,i should reign over them1 bring hither1 and slay them before me4' ,and when he had thus spoken1 he went on before1 going up to ,jerusalem4 ,,going ,,up ,,to ,,jerusalem4 ,now the passover of the ,jews was at hand3 and many went up to ,jerusalem out of the country before the passover1 to purify themselves4 ,they sought therefore for ,jesus1 and spake one with another1 as they stood in the temple1 ,what think ye8 ,that he will not come to the feast8 ,now the chief priests and the ,pharisees had given commandment1 that1 if any man knew where he was1 he should show it1 that they might take him4 ,,the ,,feast ,,at ,,bethany4 ,jesus therefore six days before the passover came to ,bethany1 where ,lazarus was1 whom ,jesus raised from the dead4 ,so they made him a supper there in the house of ,simon the leper2 and ,martha served3 but ,lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him4 ,mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard1 very precious1 and anointed the feet of ,jesus1 and wiped his feet with her hair2 and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment4 ,but ,judas ,iscariot1 one of his disciples1 that should betray him1 saith1 ,why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings1 and given to the poor8 ,now this he said1 not because he cared for the poor2 but because he was a thief1 and having the bag took away what was put therein4 ,jesus therefore said1 ,suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying4 ,for the poor ye have always with you2 but me ye have not always4 ,she hath done what she could2 she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying4 ,and verily ,i say unto you1 ,wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world1 that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her4 ,the common people therefore of the ,jews learned that he was there3 and they came1 not for ,jesus' sake only1 but that they might see ,lazarus also1 whom he had raised from the dead4 ,but the chief priests took counsel that they might put ,lazarus also to death2 because that by reason of him many of the ,jews went away1 and believed on ,jesus4 ,,his ,,last ,,week 99 99 99 99 99 ,,palm ,,sunday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,triumph ,,the ,,triumphal ,,entry4 ,on the morrow when they drew nigh unto ,jerusalem1 unto ,bethphage and ,bethany1 at the mount of ,olives1 he sendeth two of his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,go your way into the village that is over against you3 and straightway as ye enter into it1 ye shall find a colt tied1 whereon no man ever yet sat2 loose him1 and bring him4 ,and if any one say unto you1 ',why do ye this8' say ye1 ',the ,lord hath need of him'2 and straightway he will send him back hither4 ,now this is come to pass1 that it might be fulfilled1 which was spoken through the prophet1 saying1 ,tell ye the daughter of ,zion1 ,behold1 thy ,king cometh unto thee1 ,meek1 and riding upon an ass1 ,and upon a colt the foal of an ass4 ,and they went away1 and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street3 and they loose him4 ,and certain of them that stood there said unto them1 ,what do ye1 loosing the colt8 ,and they said unto them even as ,jesus had said3 and they let them go4 ,and they bring the colt unto ,jesus1 and cast on him their garments2 and he sat upon him4 ,and the most part of the multitude spread their garments upon the way2 and others branches1 which they had cut from the fields4 ,and as he was drawing nigh1 even at the descent of the ,mount of ,olives1 the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise ,god with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen4 ,and they that went before1 and they that followed1 cried1 ,hosanna to the ,son of ,david2 ,blessed is he that cometh in the name of the ,lord2 ,blessed is the kingdom that cometh1 the kingdom of our father ,david3 ,hosanna in the highest4 ,these things understood not his disciples at the first3 but when ,jesus was glorified1 then remembered they that these things were written of him1 and that they had done these things unto him4 ,the multitude1 therefore1 that was with him when he called ,lazarus out of the tomb1 and raised him from the dead1 bare witness4 ,for this cause also the multitude went and met him1 for that they heard that he had done this sign4 ,and some of the ,pharisees from the multitude said unto him1 ,teacher1 rebuke thy disciples4 ,and he answered and said1 ,i tell you that1 if these shall hold their peace1 the stones will cry out4 ,and when he drew nigh1 he saw the city and wept over it1 saying1 ,if thou hadst known in this day1 even thou1 the things which belong unto peace6 but now they are hid from thine eyes4 ,for the days shall come upon thee1 when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee1 and compass thee round1 and keep thee in on every side1 and shall dash thee to the ground1 and thy children within thee3 and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another2 because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation4 ,and when he was come into ,jerusalem1 all the city was stirred1 saying1 ,who is this8 ,and the multitudes said1 ,this is the prophet1 ,jesus1 from ,nazareth of ,galilee4 ,the ,pharisees therefore said among themselves1 ,behold1 how ye prevail nothing2 lo1 the world is gone after him4 ,and he entered into ,jerusalem1 into the temple2 and when he had looked round about upon all things1 it being now eventide1 he went out unto ,bethany with the twelve4 ,,monday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,authority ,,the ,,cursing ,,of ,,the ,,fig ,,tree4 ,and on the morrow1 when they were come out from ,bethany1 he hungered4 ,and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves1 he came1 if haply he might find anything thereon3 and when he came to it1 he found nothing but leaves2 for it was not the season of figs4 ,and he answered and said unto it1 ,no man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever4 ,and his disciples heard it4 ,,the ,,cleansing ,,of ,,the ,,temple4 ,and they come to ,jerusalem3 and he entered into the temple1 and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple1 and overthrew the tables of the money-changers1 and the seats of them that sold the doves3 and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple4 ,and he taught1 and said unto them1 ,is it not written1 ',my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations8' but ye have made it a den of robbers8 ,and the blind and the lame came to him in the temple2 and he healed them4 ,but when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did1 and the children that were crying in the temple and saying1 ,hosanna to the son of ,david3 they were moved with indignation1 and said unto him1 ,hearest thou what these are saying8 ,and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,yea3 did ye never read1 ',out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise'8 ,and the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him3 and they could not find what they might do2 for the people all hung upon him1 listening4 ,and he left them1 and went forth out of the city to ,bethany1 and lodged there4 ,,tuesday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,controversy ,,the ,,lesson ,,from ,,the ,,withered ,,fig ,,tree4 ,and as they passed by in the morning1 they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots4 ,and ,peter calling to remembrance saith unto him1 ,rabbi1 behold the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away4 ,and ,jesus answering saith unto them1 ,have faith in ,god4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall say unto this mountain1 ',be thou taken up and cast into the sea'2 and shall not doubt in his heart1 but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass2 he shall have it4 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for1 believe that ye receive them1 and ye shall have them4 ,and whensoever ye stand praying1 forgive1 if ye have aught against any one2 that your ,father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses4 ,,the ,,challenge ,,of ,,christ',s ,,authority4 ,and they came again to ,jerusalem4 ,and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him4 ,and as he was teaching the people in the temple1 and preaching the gospel1 there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders2 and they spake1 saying unto him1 ,tell us3 ,by what authority doest thou these things8 or who is he that gave thee this authority8 ,and ,jesus answered1 and said unto them1 ,i also will ask you one question1 which if ye tell me1 ,i likewise will tell you by what authority ,i do these things4 ,the baptism of ,john1 whence was it8 from heaven or from men8 ,and they reasoned with themselves1 saying1 ,if we shall say1 ',from heaven'2 he will say unto us1 ',why did ye not believe him8' ,but if we shall say1 ',from men'2 all the people will stone us3 for they are persuaded that ,john was a prophet4 ,and they answered ,jesus1 and said1 ,we know not4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,neither tell ,i you by what authority ,i do these things4 ,,three ,,warning ,,parables4 ,,the ,,two ,,sons4 ,but what think ye8 ,a man had two sons2 and he came to the first1 and said1 ',son1 go work to-day in the vineyard4' ,and he answered and said1 ',i will not'3 but afterward he repented himself1 and went4 ,and he came to the second1 and said likewise4 ,and he answered and said1 ',i go1 sir'3 and went not4 ,which of the two did the will of his father8 ,they say1 ,the first4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of ,god before you4 ,for ,john came unto you in the way of righteousness1 and ye believed him not2 but the publicans and the harlots believed him3 and ye1 when ye saw it1 did not even repent yourselves afterward that ye might believe him4 ,,the ,,wicked ,,husbandmen4 ,hear another parable3 ,there was a man who was a householder1 who planted a vineyard1 and set a hedge about it1 and digged a winepress in it1 and built a tower1 and let it out to husbandmen1 and went into another country4 ,and when the season of the fruits drew near1 he sent his servants to the husbandmen1 to receive his fruits4 ,and the husbandmen took his servants1 and beat one1 and killed another1 and stoned another4 ,again1 he sent other servants more than the first3 and they did unto them in like manner4 ,but afterward he sent unto them his son1 saying1 ',they will reverence my son4' ,but the husbandmen1 when they saw the son1 said among themselves1 ',this is the heir2 come1 let us kill him1 and take his inheritance4' ,and they took him1 and cast him forth out of the vineyard1 and killed him4 ,when therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come1 what will he do unto those husbandmen8 ,they say unto him1 ,he will miserably destroy those miserable men1 and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen1 who shall render him the fruits in their seasons4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,did ye never read in the scriptures1 ',the stone which the builders rejected1 ,the same was made the head of the corner2 ,this was from the ,lord1 ,and it is marvellous in our eyes'8 ,therefore say ,i unto you1 ,the kingdom of ,god shall be taken away from you1 and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof4 ,and he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces2 but on whomsoever it shall fall1 it will scatter him as dust4 ,and when the chief priests and the ,pharisees heard his parables1 they perceived that he spake of them4 ,and when they sought to lay hold on him1 they feared the multitudes1 because they took him for a prophet4 ,,the ,,marriage ,,of ,,the ,,king',s ,,son4 ,and ,jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them1 saying1 ,the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king1 who made a marriage feast for his son1 and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast3 and they would not come4 ,again he sent forth other servants1 saying1 ,tell them that are bidden1 ',behold1 ,i have made ready my dinner2 my oxen and my fatlings are killed1 and all things are ready2 come to the marriage feast4' ,but they made light of it1 and went their ways1 one to his own farm1 another to his merchandise2 and the rest laid hold on his servants1 and treated them shamefully1 and killed them4 ,but the king was wroth2 and he sent his armies1 and destroyed those murderers1 and burned their city4 ,then saith he to his servants1 ',the wedding is ready1 but they that were bidden were not worthy4 ,go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways1 and as many as ye shall find1 bid to the marriage feast4' ,and those servants went out into the highways1 and gathered together all as many as they found1 both bad and good2 and the wedding was filled with guests4 ,but when the king came in to behold the guests1 he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment3 and he saith unto him1 ',friend1 how earnest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment8' ,and he was speechless4 ,then the king said to the servants1 ',bind him hand and foot and cast him out into the outer darkness'2 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4 ,for many are called1 but few chosen4 ,,three ,,hostile ,,questions ,,asked ,,of ,,jesus4 ,,tribute ,,to ,,caesar4 ,then went the ,pharisees1 and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor4 ,and they send to him their disciples1 with the ,herodians1 saying1 ,teacher1 we know that thou art true1 and teachest the way of ,god in truth1 and carest not for any one3 for thou regardest not the person of men4 ,tell us therefore1 ,what thinkest thou8 ,is it lawful to give tribute unto ,caesar1 or not8 ,but ,jesus perceived their craftiness1 and said1 ,why make ye trial of me1 ye hypocrites8 ,show me the tribute money4 ,and they brought unto him a denarius4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,whose is this image and superscription8 ,they say unto him1 ,caesar's4 ,then he saith unto them1 ,render therefore unto ,caesar the things that are ,caesar's2 and unto ,god the things that are ,god's4 ,and when they heard it1 they marvelled1 and left him1 and went away4 ,,the ,,question ,,of ,,the ,,resurrection4 ,and there came to him certain of the ,sadducees1 they that say that there is no resurrection2 and they asked him1 saying1 ,teacher1 ,moses wrote unto us1 that if a man's brother die1 having a wife1 and he be childless1 his brother should take the wife1 and raise up seed unto his brother4 ,there were therefore seven brethren3 and the first took a wife1 and died childless2 and the second2 and the third took her2 and likewise the seven also left no children1 and died4 ,afterward the woman also died4 ,in the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be8 for the seven had her to wife4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,ye do err1 not knowing the scriptures1 nor the power of ,god4 ,the sons of this world marry1 and are given in marriage3 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world1 and the resurrection from the dead1 neither marry1 nor are given in marriage3 for neither can they die any more3 for they are equal unto the angels2 and are sons of ,god1 being sons of the resurrection4 ,but that the dead are raised1 even ,moses showed1 in the place concerning the ,bush1 when he calleth the ,lord the ,god of ,abraham1 and the ,god of ,isaac1 and the ,god of ,jacob4 ,now he is not the ,god of the dead1 but of the living3 for all live unto him4 ,and when the multitudes heard it1 they were astonished at his teaching4 ,,the ,,greatest ,,commandment4 ,and one of the scribes came1 and heard them questioning together1 and knowing that he had answered them well1 asked him1 ,what commandment is the first of all8 ,jesus answered1 ,the first is1 ',hear1 ,o ,israel3 ,the ,lord our ,god1 the ,lord is one3 and thou shalt love the ,lord thy ,god with all thy heart1 and with all thy soul1 and with all thy mind1 and with all thy strength4' ,the second is this1 ',thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself4' ,there is none other commandment greater than these4 ,and the scribe said unto him1 ,of a truth1 ,teacher1 thou hast well said that he is one3 and there is none other but he3 and to love him with all the heart1 and with all the understanding and with all the strength1 and to love his neighbor as himself1 is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices4 ,and when ,jesus saw that he answered discreetly1 he said unto him1 ,thou art not far from the kingdom of ,god4 ,,the ,,unanswerable ,,question ,,of ,,jesus4 ,now while the ,pharisees were gathered together ,jesus asked them a question1 saying1 ,what think ye of the ,christ8 whose son is he8 ,they say unto him1 ,the son of ,david4 ,he saith unto them1 ,how then doth ,david in the ,spirit call him ,lord1 saying1 ',the ,lord said unto my ,lord1 ,sit thou on my right hand1 ,till ,i put thine enemies underneath thy feet'8 ,if ,david then calleth him ,lord1 how is he his son8 ,and no one was able to answer him a word1 neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions4 ,and the common people heard him gladly4 ,,discourse ,,of ,,jesus ,,against ,,the ,,scribes ,,and ,,pharisees4 ,then spake ,jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples1 saying1 ,the scribes and the ,pharisees sit on ,moses' seat3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you1 these do and observe3 but do not ye after their works2 for they say1 and do not4 ,yea1 they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne1 and lay them on men's shoulders2 but they themselves will not move them with their finger4 ,but all their works they do to be seen of men3 for they make broad their phylacteries1 and enlarge the borders of their garments1 and love the chief place at feasts1 and the chief seats in the synagogues1 and the salutations in the marketplaces1 and to be called of men1 ',rabbi4' ,but be not ye called ',rabbi1' for one is your teacher1 and all ye are brethren4 ,and call no man your father on the earth3 for one is your ,father1 even he who is in heaven4 ,neither be ye called masters3 for one is your master1 even the ,christ4 ,but he that is greatest among you shall be your servant4 ,and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled3 and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted4 ,but woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men3 for ye enter not in yourselves1 neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte2 and when he is become so1 ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves4 ,woe unto you1 ye blind guides1 that say1 ',whosoever shall swear by the temple1 it is nothing2 but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple1 he is a debtor4' ,ye fools and blind3 for which is greater1 the gold1 or the temple that hath sanctified the gold8 ,and1 ',whosoever shall swear by the altar1 it is nothing2 but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it1 he is a debtor4' ,ye blind3 for which is greater1 the gift1 or the altar that sanctifieth the gift8 ,he therefore that sweareth by the altar1 sweareth by it1 and by all things thereon4 ,and he that sweareth by the temple1 sweareth by it1 and by him that dwelleth therein4 ,and he that sweareth by the heaven1 sweareth by the throne of ,god1 and by him that sitteth thereon4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin1 and have left undone the weightier matters of the law1 justice1 and mercy1 and faith3 but these ye ought to have done1 and not to have left the other undone4 ,ye blind guides that strain out the gnat1 and swallow the camel6 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter1 but within they are full from extortion and excess4 ,thou blind ,pharisee1 cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter1 that the outside thereof may become clean also4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye are like unto whited sepulchres1 which outwardly appear beautiful1 but inwardly are full of dead men's bones1 and of all uncleanness4 ,even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men1 but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets1 and garnish the tombs of the righteous1 and say1 ',if we had been in the days of our fathers1 we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets4' ,wherefore ye witness to yourselves1 that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets4 ,fill ye up then the measure of your fathers4 ,ye serpents1 ye offspring of vipers1 how shall ye escape the judgment of hell8 ,therefore1 behold1 ,i send unto you prophets1 and wise men1 and scribes3 some of them shall ye kill and crucify2 and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues1 and persecute from city to city3 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth1 from the blood of ,abel the righteous unto the blood of ,zachariah son of ,barachiah1 whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,all these things shall come upon this generation4 ,o ,jerusalem1 ,jerusalem1 that killeth the prophets1 and stoneth them that are sent unto her6 how often would ,i have gathered thy children together1 even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings1 and ye would not6 ,behold1 your house is left unto you desolate4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,ye shall not see me henceforth1 till ye shall say1 ',blessed is he that cometh in the name of the ,lord4' ,,the ,,widow',s ,,two ,,mites4 ,and he sat down over against the treasury1 and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury3 and many that were rich cast in much4 ,and there came a poor widow1 and she cast in two mites1 which make a farthing4 ,and he called unto him his disciples1 and said unto them1 ,verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,this poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury3 for they all did cast in of their superfluity2 but she of her want did cast in all that she had1 even all her living4 ,,the ,,gentiles ,,seek ,,jesus4 ,now there were certain ,greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast3 these therefore came to ,philip1 who was of ,bethsaida of ,galilee1 and asked him1 saying1 ,sir1 we would see ,jesus4 ,philip cometh and telleth ,andrew3 ,andrew cometh1 and ,philip1 and they tell ,jesus4 ,and ,jesus answereth them1 saying1 ,the hour is come1 that the ,son of man should be glorified4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die1 it abideth by itself alone2 but if it die1 it beareth much fruit4 ,he that loveth his life loseth it3 and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal4 ,if any man serve me1 let him follow me3 and where ,i am1 there shall also my servant be3 if any man serve me1 him will the ,father honor4 ,now is my soul troubled2 and what shall ,i say8 ,father1 save me from this hour4 ,but for this cause came ,i unto this hour4 ,father1 glorify thy name4 ,there came therefore a voice out of heaven1 saying1 ,i have both glorified it1 and will glorify it again4 ,the multitude1 therefore1 that stood by1 and heard it1 said that it had thundered3 others said1 ,an angel hath spoken to him4 ,jesus answered and said1 ,this voice hath not come for my sake1 but for your sakes4 ,now is the judgment of this world3 now shall the prince of this world be cast out4 ,and ,i1 if ,i be lifted up from the earth1 will draw all men unto myself4 ,but this he said1 signifying by what manner of death he should die4 ,the multitude therefore answered him1 ,we have heard out of the law that the ,christ abideth forever2 and how sayest thou1 ',the ,son of man must be lifted up'8 who is this ,son of man8 ,jesus therefore said unto them1 ,yet a little while is the light among you4 ,walk while ye have the light1 that darkness overtake you not2 and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth4 ,while ye have the light1 believe on the light1 that ye may become sons of light4 ,these things spake ,jesus1 and he departed and hid himself from them4 ,,the ,,jews ,,reject ,,jesus4 ,but though he had done so many signs before them1 yet they believed not on him3 that the word of ,isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled1 which he spake1 ,lord1 who hath believed our report8 ,and to whom hath the arm of the ,lord been revealed8 ,for this cause they could not believe1 for that ,isaiah said again4 ,he hath blinded their eyes1 and he hardened their heart2 ,lest they should see with their eyes1 and perceive with their heart1 ,and should turn1 ,and ,i should heal them4 ,these things said ,isaiah1 because he saw his glory2 and he spake of him4 ,nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him2 but because of the ,pharisees they did not confess it1 lest they should be put out of the synagogue2 for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of ,god4 ,and ,jesus cried and said1 ,he that believeth on me1 believeth not on me1 but on him that sent me4 ,and he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me4 ,i am come a light into the world1 that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness4 ,and if any man hear my sayings1 and keep them not1 ,i judge him not3 for ,i came not to judge the world1 but to save the world4 ,he that rejecteth me1 and receiveth not my sayings1 hath one that judgeth him3 the word that ,i spake1 the same shall judge him in the last day4 ,for ,i spake not from myself2 but the ,father that sent me1 he hath given me a commandment1 what ,i should say1 and what ,i should speak4 ,and ,i know that his commandment is life eternal2 the things therefore which ,i speak1 even as the ,father hath said unto me1 so ,i speak4 ,,discourse ,,concerning ,,the ,,future4 ,and ,jesus went out from the temple1 and was going on his way2 and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple4 ,but he answered and said unto them1 ,see ye not all these things8 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,there shall not be left here one stone upon another1 that shall not be thrown down4 ,and as he sat on the mount of ,olives over against the temple1 ,peter and ,james and ,john and ,andrew asked him privately1 ,tell us1 when shall these things be8 and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished8 ,and ,jesus began to say unto them1 ,take heed that no man lead you astray4 ,many shall come in my name1 saying1 ',i am he1' and shall lead many astray4 ,and when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars1 be not troubled3 these things must needs come to pass2 but the end is not yet4 ,for nation shall rise against nation1 and kingdom against kingdom2 there shall be earthquakes in divers places2 there shall be famines3 these things are the beginning of the travail4 ,but take ye heed to yourselves3 for they shall deliver you up to councils2 and in synagogues shall ye be beaten2 and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake1 for a testimony unto them4 ,and the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations4 ,and when they lead you to judgment1 and deliver you up1 be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak2 but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour1 that speak ye2 for it is not ye that speak1 but the ,holy ,spirit4 ,but ye shall be delivered up even by parents1 and brethren1 and kinsfolk1 and friends3 and some of you shall they cause to be put to death4 ,and ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake4 ,and then shall many stumble1 and shall deliver up one another1 and shall hate one another4 ,and many false prophets shall arise1 and shall lead many astray4 ,and because iniquity shall be multiplied1 the love of the many shall wax cold4 ,but he that endureth to the end1 the same shall be saved4 ,but when ye see ,jerusalem compassed with armies1 then know that her desolation is at hand4 ,then let them that are in ,judaea flee unto the mountains3 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house3 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak4 ,for these are days of vengeance1 that all things which are written may be fulfilled4 ,but woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days6 ,and pray ye that your flight be not in the winter1 neither on a ,sabbath3 for then shall be great tribulation1 such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now1 no1 nor ever shall be4 ,and except those days had been shortened1 no flesh would have been saved3 but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened4 ,then if any man shall say unto you1 ',lo1 here is the ,christ1' or1 ',here1' believe it not4 ,for there shall arise false ,christs1 and false prophets1 and shall show great signs and wonders2 so as to lead astray1 if possible1 even the elect4 ,but take ye heed3 behold1 ,i have told you all things beforehand4 ,if1 therefore1 they shall say unto you1 ',behold1 he is in the wilderness1' go not forth3 ',behold1 he is in the inner chambers1' believe it not4 ,for as the lightning cometh forth from the east and is seen even unto the west1 so shall be the coming of the ,son of man4 ,wheresoever the carcase is1 there will the eagles be gathered together4 ,but immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened1 and the moon shall not give her light1 and the stars shall fall from heaven1 and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken3 and then shall appear the sign of the ,son of man in heaven3 and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn1 and they shall see the ,son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory4 ,and he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet1 and shall gather together his elect from the four winds1 from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven4 ,now from the fig tree learn her parable3 when her branch is now become tender1 and putteth forth its leaves1 ye know that the summer is nigh2 even so ye also1 when ye see all these things1 know ye that he is nigh1 even at the doors4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,this generation shall not pass away till all these things be accomplished4 ,heaven and earth shall pass away1 but my words shall not pass away4 ,but of that day and hour knoweth no one1 not even the angels of heaven1 neither the ,son1 but the ,father only4 ,but take heed to yourselves1 lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting1 and drunkenness1 and cares of this life1 and that day come on you suddenly as a snare2 for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth4 ,but watch ye at every season1 making supplication1 that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass1 and to stand before the ,son of man4 ,and as were the days of ,noah1 so shall be the coming of the ,son of man4 ,for as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking1 marrying and giving in marriage1 until the day that ,noah entered into the ark1 and they knew not until the flood came1 and took them all away2 so shall be the coming of the ,son of man4 ,then shall two men be in the field2 one is taken1 and one is left2 two women shall be grinding at the mill3 one is taken1 and one is left4 ,watch therefore3 for ye know not on what day your ,lord cometh4 ,but know this1 that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming1 he would have watched1 and would not have suffered his house to be broken through4 ,therefore be ye also ready2 for in an hour that ye think not the ,son of man cometh4 ,take ye heed1 watch and pray3 for ye know not when the time is4 ,it is as when a man1 sojourning in another country1 having left his house1 and given authority to his servants1 to each one his work1 commanded also the porter to watch4 ,watch therefore3 for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh1 whether at even1 or at midnight1 or at cockcrowing1 or in the morning2 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping4 ,and what ,i say unto you ,i say unto all1 ,watch4 ,who then is the faithful and wise servant1 whom the lord hath set over his household1 to give them their food in due season8 ,blessed is that servant1 whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 that he will set him over all that he hath4 ,but if that evil servant shall say in his heart1 ',my lord tarrieth2' and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants1 and shall eat and drink with the drunken2 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not1 and in an hour when he knoweth not1 and shall cut him asunder1 and appoint his portion with the hypocrites3 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4 ,,three ,,lessons ,,to ,,the ,,disciples4 ,,the ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,ten ,,virgins4 ,then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins1 who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom4 ,and five of them were foolish1 and five were wise4 ,for the foolish1 when they took their lamps1 took no oil with them3 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps4 ,now while the bridegroom tarried1 they all slumbered and slept4 ,but at midnight there is a cry1 ',behold1 the bridegroom6 ,come ye forth to meet him4' ,then all those virgins arose1 and trimmed their lamps4 ,and the foolish said unto the wise1 ',give us of your oil2 for our lamps are going out4' ,but the wise answered1 saying1 ',peradventure there will not be enough for us and you3 go ye rather to them that sell1 and buy for yourselves4' ,and while they went away to buy1 the bridegroom came2 and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast3 and the door was shut4 ,afterward came also the other virgins1 saying1 ',lord1 ,lord1 open to us4' ,but he answered and said1 ',verily ,i say unto you1 ,i know you not4' ,watch therefore1 for ye know not the day nor the hour4 ,,the ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,talents4 ,for it is as when a man1 going into another country1 called his own servants1 and delivered unto them his goods4 ,and unto one he gave five talents1 to another two1 to another one2 to each according to his several ability2 and he went on his journey4 ,straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them1 and made other five talents4 ,in like manner he also that received the two gained other two4 ,but he that received the one went away and digged in the earth1 and hid his lord's money4 ,now after a long time the lord of these servants cometh1 and maketh a reckoning with them4 ,and he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents1 saying1 ',lord1 thou deliveredst unto me five talents3 lo1 ,i have gained other five talents4' ,his lord said unto him1 ',well done1 good and faithful servant3 thou hast been faithful over a few things1 ,i will set thee over many things2 enter thou into the joy of thy lord4' ,and he also that received the two talents came and said1 ',lord1 thou deliveredst unto me two talents3 lo1 ,i have gained other two talents4' ,his lord said unto him1 ',well done1 good and faithful servant3 thou hast been faithful over a few things1 ,i will set thee over many things2 enter thou into the joy of thy lord4' ,and he also that had received the one talent came and said1 ',lord1 ,i knew thee that thou art a hard man1 reaping where thou didst not sow1 and gathering where thou didst not scatter2 and ,i was afraid1 and went away and hid thy talent in the earth3 lo1 thou hast thine own4' ,but his lord answered and said unto him1 ',thou wicked and slothful servant1 thou knewest that ,i reap where ,i sowed not1 and gather where ,i did not scatter2 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers1 and at my coming ,i should have received back mine own with interest4 ,take ye away therefore the talent from him1 and give it unto him that hath the ten talents4 ,for unto every one that hath shall be given1 and he shall have abundance2 but from him that hath not1 even that which he hath shall be taken away4 ,and cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness3 there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth4' ,,the ,,judgment ,,scene4 ,but when the ,son of man shall come in his glory1 and all the angels with him1 then shall he sit on the throne of his glory3 and before him shall be gathered all the nations3 and he shall separate them one from another1 as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats2 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand1 but the goats on the left4 ,then shall the ,king say unto them on his right hand1 ',come1 ye blessed of my ,father1 inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world3 for ,i was hungry1 and ye gave me to eat2 ,i was thirsty1 and ye gave me drink2 ,i was a stranger1 and ye took me in2 naked1 and ye clothed me2 ,i was sick1 and ye visited me2 ,i was in prison1 and ye came unto me4' ,then shall the righteous answer him1 saying1 ',lord1 when saw we thee hungry1 and fed thee8 or athirst1 and gave thee drink8 ,and when saw we thee a stranger1 and took thee in8 or naked1 and clothed thee8 ,and when saw we thee sick1 or in prison1 and came unto thee8' ,and the ,king shall answer and say unto them1 ',verily ,i say unto you1 ,inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my children1 even these least1 ye did it unto me4' ,then shall he say also unto them on the left hand1 ',depart from me1 ye cursed1 into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels3 for ,i was hungry1 and ye did not give me to eat2 ,i was thirsty1 and ye gave me no drink2 ,i was a stranger1 and ye took me not in2 naked1 and ye clothed me not2 sick1 and in prison1 and ye visited me not4' ,then shall they also answer1 saying1 ',lord1 when saw we thee hungry1 or athirst1 or a stranger1 or naked1 or sick1 or in prison1 and did not minister unto thee8' ,then shall he answer them1 saying1 ',verily ,i say unto you1 ,inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least1 ye did it not unto me4' ,and these shall go away into eternal punishment3 but the righteous into eternal life4 ,,the ,,conspiracy ,,against ,,jesus4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,jesus had finished all these words1 he said unto his disciples1 ,ye know that after two days the passover cometh1 and the ,son of man is delivered up to be crucified4 ,then were gathered together the chief priests1 the elders of the people1 unto the court of the high priest1 who was called ,caiaphas2 and they took counsel together that they might take ,jesus by subtlety1 and kill him4 ,but they said1 ,not during the feast1 lest a tumult arise among the people4 ,and ,satan entered into ,judas1 who was called ,iscariot1 being of the number of the twelve4 ,and he went away and communed with the chief priests and captains1 how he might deliver him unto them4 ,and they were glad1 and they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver4 ,and from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude4 ,,wednesday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,retirement ,there is no record of the events of this day4 ,jesus spent it in retirement1 almost certainly in the home of his friends at ,bethany4 ,,thursday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,fellowship ,,preparation ,,for ,,the ,,passover4 ,and on the first day of unleavened bread1 when they sacrificed the passover1 his disciples say unto him1 ,where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover8 ,and he sendeth two of his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,go into the city1 and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water2 follow him2 and wheresoever he shall enter in1 say to the master of the house1 ',the ,teacher saith1 ,my time is at hand4 ,where is my guest-chamber1 where ,i shall eat the passover with my disciples8' ,and he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready3 and there make ready for us4 ,and the disciples went forth1 and came into the city1 and found as he had said unto them3 and they made ready the passover4 ,,strife ,,among ,,the ,,disciples4 ,and when it was evening he cometh with the twelve4 ,and there arose also a contention among them1 which of them was accounted to be greatest4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the kings of the ,gentiles have lordship over them2 and they that have authority over them are called ,benefactors4 ,but ye shall not be so3 but he that is the greater among you1 let him become as the younger3 and he that is chief1 as he that doth serve4 ,for which is greater1 he that sitteth at meat1 or he that serveth8 ,is not he that sitteth at meat8 ,but ,i am in the midst of you as he that serveth4 ,but ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations2 and ,i appoint unto you a kingdom1 even as my ,father appointed unto me1 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom2 and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of ,israel4 ,,jesus ,,washing ,,the ,,disciples' ,,feet4 ,now before the feast of the passover1 ,jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the ,father1 having loved his own that were in the world1 he loved them unto the end4 ,and during supper1 the devil having already put into the heart of ,judas ,iscariot1 ,simon's son1 to betray him1 ,jesus1 knowing that the ,father had given all things into his hands1 and that he came forth from ,god1 and goeth unto ,god1 riseth from supper1 and layeth aside his garments2 and he took a towel1 and girded himself4 ,then he poureth water into the basin1 and began to wash the disciples' feet1 and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded4 ,so he cometh to ,simon ,peter4 ,he saith unto him1 ,lord1 dost thou wash my feet8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,what ,i do thou knowest not now2 but thou shall understand hereafter4 ,peter saith unto him1 ,thou shalt never wash my feet4 ,jesus answered him1 ,if ,i wash thee not1 thou hast no part with me4 ,simon ,peter saith unto him1 ,lord1 not my feet only1 but also my hands and my head4 ,jesus saith to him1 ,he that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet1 but is clean every whit3 and ye are clean1 but not all4 ,for he knew him that should betray him2 therefore said he1 ,ye are not all clean4 ,so when he had washed their feet1 and taken his garments1 and sat down again1 he said unto them1 ,know ye what ,i have done to you8 ,ye call me ,teacher1 and ,lord3 and ye say well2 for so ,i am4 ,if ,i then1 the ,lord and the ,teacher1 have washed your feet1 ye also ought to wash one another's feet4 ,for ,i have given you an example1 that ye also should do as ,i have done to you4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,a servant is not greater than his lord2 neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him4 ,if ye know these things1 blessed are ye if ye do them4 ,i speak not of you all3 ,i know whom ,i have chosen3 but that the scripture may be fulfilled1 ,he that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me4 ,from henceforth ,i tell you before it come to pass1 that1 when it is come to pass1 ye may believe that ,i am he4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that receiveth whomsoever ,i send receiveth me2 and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me4 ,,the ,,betrayer ,,pointed ,,out4 ,when ,jesus had thus said1 he was troubled in the spirit1 and testified1 and said1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 that one of you shall betray me4 ,the disciples looked one on another1 doubting of whom he spake4 ,and they were exceeding sorrowful1 and began to say unto him every one1 ,is it ,i1 ,lord8 ,and he answered and said1 ,he that dipped his hand with me in the dish1 the same shall betray me4 ,the ,son of man goeth1 even as it is written of him3 but woe unto that man through whom the ,son of man is betrayed6 ,good were it for that man if he had not been born4 ,and ,judas1 who betrayed him1 answered and said1 ,is it ,i1 ,rabbi8 ,he saith unto him1 ,thou hast said4 ,there was at the table reclining in ,jesus' bosom one of his disciples1 whom ,jesus loved4 ,simon ,peter therefore beckoneth to him1 and saith unto him1 ,tell us who it is of whom he speaketh4 ,he leaning back1 as he was1 on ,jesus' breast1 saith unto him1 ,lord1 who is it8 ,jesus therefore answereth1 ,he it is1 for whom ,i shall dip the sop1 and give it him4 ,so when he had dipped the sop1 he taketh and giveth it to ,judas1 the son of ,simon ,iscariot4 ,and after the sop1 then entered ,satan into him4 ,jesus therefore saith unto him1 ,what thou doest1 do quickly4 ,now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him4 ,for some thought because ,judas had the bag1 that ,jesus said unto him1 ,buy what things we have need of for the feast1 or that he should give something to the poor4 ,he then having received the sop went out straightway3 and it was night4 ,when therefore he was gone out1 ,jesus saith1 ,now is the ,son of man glorified1 and ,god is glorified in him2 and ,god shall glorify him in himself1 and straightway shall he glorify him4 ,,the ,,lord',s ,,supper4 ,and he said unto them1 ,with desire ,i have desired to eat this passover with you before ,i suffer3 for ,i say unto you1 ,i shall not eat it until it be fulfilled in the ,kingdom of ,god4 ,and he took bread1 and when he had given thanks1 he brake it1 and gave to them1 saying1 ,this is my body2 which is given for you2 this do in remembrance of me4 ,and he took a cup1 in like manner after supper1 and gave thanks1 and gave to them1 saying1 ,drink ye all of it2 for this is my blood of the new covenant1 which is poured out for you1 for many1 unto remission of sins4 ,take this and divide it among yourselves2 for ,i say unto you1 ,i shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine1 until the ,kingdom of ,god shall come4 ,,the ,,farewell ,,conversation4 ,little children1 yet a little while ,i am with you4 ,ye shall seek me3 and as ,i said unto the ,jews1 ',whither ,i go1 ye cannot come1' so now ,i say unto you4 ,a new commandment ,i give unto you1 that ye love one another2 even as ,i have loved you1 that ye also love one another4 ,by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples1 if ye have love one to another4 ,simon ,peter saith unto him1 ,lord1 whither goest thou8 ,jesus answered1 ,whither ,i go1 thou canst not follow me now2 but thou shalt follow afterwards4 ,and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,all ye shall be offended3 for it is written1 ,i will smite the shepherd1 and the sheep shall be scattered abroad4 ,howbeit1 after ,i am raised up1 ,i will go before you into ,galilee4 ,but ,peter said unto him1 ,although all shall be offended1 yet will not ,i4 ,and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,verily ,i say unto thee1 that thou to-day1 even this night1 before the cock crow twice1 shalt deny me thrice4 ,simon1 ,simon1 behold ,satan asked to have you1 that he might sift you as wheat3 but ,i make supplication for thee1 that thy faith fail not3 and do thou1 when once thou hast turned again1 establish thy brethren4 ,but he spake vehemently1 ,if ,i must die with thee1 ,i will not deny thee4 ,and in like manner also said they all4 99 99 99 99 99 ,and he said unto them1 ,when ,i sent you forth without purse1 and wallet1 and shoes1 lacked ye anything8 ,and they said1 ,nothing4 ,and he said unto them1 ,but now1 he that hath a purse1 let him take it1 and likewise a wallet2 and he that hath none1 let him sell his cloak1 and buy a sword4 ,for ,i say unto you1 that this which is written must be fulfilled in me1 ',and he was reckoned with transgressors'3 for that which concerneth me hath fulfillment4 ,and they said1 ,lord1 behold1 here are two swords4 ,and he said unto them1 ,it is enough4 99 99 99 99 99 ,let not your heart be troubled2 believe in ,god1 believe also in me4 ,in my ,father's house are many mansions2 if it were not so1 ,i would have told you2 for ,i go to prepare a place for you4 ,and if ,i go and prepare a place for you1 ,i come again1 and will receive you unto myself2 that where ,i am1 there ye may be also4 ,and whither ,i go1 ye know the way4 ,thomas saith unto him1 ,lord1 we know not whither thou goest2 how know we the way8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,i am the way1 and the truth1 and the life3 no one cometh unto the ,father1 but by me4 ,if ye had known me1 ye would have known my ,father also3 from henceforth ye know him1 and have seen him4 ,philip saith unto him1 ,lord1 show us the ,father1 and it sufficeth us4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,have ,i been so long time with you1 and dost thou not know me1 ,philip8 ,he that hath seen me hath seen the ,father3 how sayest thou1 ',show us the ,father8' ,believest thou not that ,i am in the ,father1 and the ,father in me8 ,the words that ,i say unto you ,i speak not from myself3 but the ,father abiding in me doeth his works4 ,believe me that ,i am in the ,father1 and the ,father in me3 or else believe me for the very works' sake4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that believeth on me1 the works that ,i do shall he do also3 and greater works than these shall he do2 because ,i go unto the ,father4 ,and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name1 that will ,i do1 that the ,father may be glorified in the ,son4 ,if ye shall ask anything in my name1 that will ,i do4 ,if ye love me1 ye will keep my commandments4 ,and ,i will pray the ,father1 and he shall give you another ,comforter1 that he may be with you for ever1 even the ,spirit of truth3 whom the world cannot receive2 for it beholdeth him not1 neither knoweth him3 ye know him1 for he abideth with you1 and shall be in you4 ,i will not leave you desolate3 ,i come unto you4 ,yet a little while1 and the world beholdeth me no more2 but ye behold me3 because ,i live1 ye shall live also4 ,in that day ye shall know that ,i am in my ,father1 and ye in me1 and ,i in you4 ,he that hath my commandments1 and keepeth them1 he it is that loveth me3 and he that loveth me shall be loved of my ,father1 and ,i will love him1 and will manifest myself unto him4 ,judas 7not ,iscariot7 saith unto him1 ,lord1 what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us1 and not unto the world8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,if a man love me1 he will keep my word3 and my ,father will love him1 and we will come unto him1 and make our abode with him4 ,he that loveth me not keepeth not my words3 and the word which ye hear is not mine1 but the ,father's who sent me4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 while yet abiding with you4 ,but the ,comforter1 even the ,holy ,spirit1 whom the ,father will send in my name1 he shall teach you all things1 and bring to your remembrance all that ,i said unto you4 ,peace ,i leave with you2 my peace ,i give unto you3 not as the world giveth1 give ,i unto you4 ,let not your heart be troubled1 neither let it be fearful4 ,ye heard how ,i said to you1 ,i go away1 and ,i come unto you4 ,if ye loved me1 ye would have rejoiced1 because ,i go unto the ,father3 for the ,father is greater than ,i4 ,and now ,i have told you before it come to pass1 that1 when it is come to pass1 ye may believe4 ,i will no more speak much with you1 for the prince of the world cometh3 and he hath nothing in me2 but that the world may know that ,i love the ,father1 and as the ,father gave me commandment1 even so ,i do4 99 99 99 99 99 ,i am the true vine1 and my ,father is the husbandman4 ,every branch in me that beareth not fruit1 he taketh it away3 and every branch that beareth fruit1 he cleanseth it1 that it may bear more fruit4 ,already ye are clean because of the word which ,i have spoken unto you4 ,abide in me1 and ,i in you4 ,as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself1 except it abide in the vine2 so neither can ye1 except ye abide in me4 ,i am the vine1 ye are the branches3 ,he that abideth in me1 and ,i in him1 the same beareth much fruit3 for apart from me ye can do nothing4 ,if a man abide not in me1 he is cast forth as a branch1 and is withered2 and they gather them1 and cast them into the fire1 and they are burned4 ,if ye abide in me1 and my words abide in you1 ask whatsoever ye will1 and it shall be done unto you4 ,herein is my ,father glorified1 that ye bear much fruit3 and so shall ye be my disciples4 ,even as the ,father hath loved me1 ,i also have loved you3 abide ye in my love4 ,if ye keep my commandments1 ye shall abide in my love2 even as ,i have kept my ,father's commandments1 and abide in his love4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that my joy may be in you1 and that your joy may be made full4 ,this is my commandment1 that ye love one another1 even as ,i have loved you4 ,greater love hath no man than this1 that a man lay down his life for his friends4 ,ye are my friends1 if ye do the things which ,i command you4 ,no longer do ,i call you servants2 for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth3 but ,i have called you friends2 for all things that ,i heard from my ,father ,i have made known unto you4 ,ye did not choose me1 but ,i chose you1 and appointed you1 that ye should go and bear fruit1 and that your fruit should abide3 that whatsoever ye shall ask of the ,father in my name1 he may give it you4 ,these things ,i command you1 that ye may love one another4 ,if the world hated you1 ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you4 ,if ye were of the world1 the world would love its own3 but because ye are not of the world1 but ,i chose you out of the world1 therefore the world hateth you4 ,remember the word that ,i said unto you1 ,a servant is not greater than his lord4 ,if they persecuted me1 they will also persecute you2 if they kept my word1 they will keep yours also4 ,but all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake1 because they know not him that sent me4 ,if ,i had not come and spoken unto them1 they had not had sin3 but now they have no excuse for their sin4 ,he that hateth me hateth my ,father also4 ,if ,i had not done among them the works which none other did1 they had not had sin3 but now have they both seen and hated me and my ,father4 ,but this cometh to pass1 that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law1 ',they hated me without a cause4' ,but when the ,comforter is come1 whom ,i will send unto you from the ,father1 even the ,spirit of truth1 which proceedeth from the ,father1 he shall bear witness of me3 and ye also bear witness1 because ye have been with me from the beginning4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that ye should not be caused to stumble4 ,they shall put you out of the synagogues3 yea1 the hour cometh1 that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto ,god4 ,and these things will they do1 because they have not known the ,father1 nor me4 ,but these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that when their hour is come1 ye may remember them1 how that ,i told you4 ,and these things ,i said not unto you from the beginning1 because ,i was with you4 ,but now ,i go unto him that sent me2 and none of you asketh me1 ',whither goest thou8' ,but because ,i have spoken these things unto you1 sorrow hath filled your heart4 ,nevertheless ,i tell you the truth3 ,it is expedient for you that ,i go away2 for if ,i go not away1 the ,comforter will not come unto you2 but if ,i go1 ,i will send him unto you4 ,and he1 when he is come1 will convict the world in respect of sin1 and of righteousness1 and of judgment3 of sin1 because they believe not on me2 of righteousness1 because ,i go to the ,father1 and ye behold me no more2 of judgment1 because the prince of this world hath been judged4 ,i have yet many things to say unto you1 but ye cannot bear them now4 ,howbeit when he1 the ,spirit of truth1 is come1 he shall guide you into all the truth3 for he shall not speak from himself2 but what things soever he shall hear1 these shall he speak3 and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come4 ,he shall glorify me3 for he shall take of mine1 and shall declare it unto you4 ,all things whatsoever the ,father hath are mine3 therefore said ,i1 that he taketh2 of mine1 and shall declare it unto you4 ,a little while1 and ye behold me no more2 and again a little while1 and ye shall see me4 ,some of his disciples therefore said one to another4 ,what is this that he saith unto us1 ',a little while1 and ye behold me not2 and again a little while1 and ye shall see me'3 and ',because ,i go to the ,father'8 ,they said therefore1 ,what is this that he saith1 ',a little while'8 ,we know not what he saith4 ,jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him1 and he said unto them1 ,do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this1 that ,i said1 ',a little while1 and ye behold me not1 and again a little while1 and ye shall see me8' ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 that ye shall weep and lament1 but the world shall rejoice3 ye shall be sorrowful1 but your sorrow shall be turned into joy4 ,a woman when she is in travail hath sorrow1 because her hour is come3 but when she is delivered of the child she remembereth no more the anguish1 for the joy that a man is born into the world4 ,and ye therefore now have sorrow3 but ,i will see you again1 and your heart shall rejoice1 and your joy no one taketh away from you4 ,and in that day ye shall ask me no question4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,if ye shall ask anything of the ,father1 he will give it you in my name4 ,hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name3 ask1 and ye shall receive1 that your joy may be made full4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you in dark sayings3 the hour cometh1 when ,i shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings1 but shall tell you plainly of the ,father4 ,in that day ye shall ask in my name3 and ,i say not unto you1 that ,i will pray the ,father for you2 for the ,father himself loveth you1 because ye have loved me1 and have believed that ,i came forth from the ,father4 ,i came out from the ,father1 and am come into the world2 again1 ,i leave the world1 and go unto the ,father4 ,his disciples say1 ,lo1 now speakest thou plainly1 and speakest no dark saying4 ,now know we that thou knowest all things1 and needest not that any man should ask thee3 by this we believe that thou camest forth from ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,do ye now believe8 ,behold1 the hour cometh1 yea1 is come1 that ye shall be scattered1 every man to his own1 and shall leave me alone3 and yet ,i am not alone1 because the ,father is with me4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that in me ye may have peace4 ,in the world ye have tribulation3 but be of good cheer3 ,i have overcome the world4 ,,the ,,intercessory ,,prayer4 ,these things spake ,jesus2 and lifting up his eyes to heaven1 he said1 ,father1 the hour is come2 glorify thy ,son1 that the ,son may glorify thee3 even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh1 that to all whom thou hast given him1 he should give eternal life4 ,and this is life eternal1 that they should know thee the only true ,god1 and him whom thou didst send1 even ,jesus ,christ4 ,i glorified thee on the earth1 having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do4 ,and now1 ,father1 glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which ,i had with thee before the world was4 ,i manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world3 thine they were1 and thou gavest them to me2 and they have kept thy word4 ,now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee3 for the words which thou gavest me ,i have given unto them2 and they received them1 and knew of a truth that ,i came forth from thee1 and they believed that thou didst send me4 ,i pray for them3 ,i pray not for the world1 but for those whom thou hast given me2 for they are thine3 and all things that are mine are thine1 and thine are mine2 and ,i am glorified in them4 ,and ,i am no more in the world1 and these are in the world1 and ,i come to thee4 ,holy ,father1 keep them in thy name which thou hast given me1 that they may be one1 even as we are4 ,while ,i was with them1 ,i kept them in thy name which thou hast given me2 and ,i guarded them1 and not one of them perished1 but the son of perdition2 that the scripture might be fulfilled4 ,but now ,i come to thee2 and these things ,i speak in the world1 that they may have my joy made full in themselves4 ,i have given them thy word1 and the world hated them1 because they are not of the world1 even as ,i am not of the world4 ,i pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world1 but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one4 ,they are not of the world1 even as ,i am not of the world4 ,sanctify them in the truth3 thy word is truth4 ,as thou didst send me into the world1 even so sent ,i them into the world4 ,and for their sakes ,i sanctify myself1 that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth4 ,neither for these only do ,i pray1 but for them also that believe on me through their word2 that they may all be one2 even as thou1 ,father1 art in me1 and ,i in thee1 that they also may be in us3 that the world may believe that thou didst send me4 ,and the glory which thou hast given me ,i have given unto them2 that they may be one1 even as we are one2 ,i in them1 and thou in me1 that they may be perfected into one2 that the world may know that thou didst send me1 and lovedst them1 even as thou lovedst me4 ,father1 ,i desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where ,i am1 that they may behold my glory1 which thou hast given me3 for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world4 ,o righteous ,father1 the world knew thee not1 but ,i knew thee2 and these knew that thou didst send me2 and ,i made known unto them thy name1 and will make it known2 that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them1 and ,i in them4 ,and when they had sung a hymn1 they went out into the mount of ,olives4 ,,friday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,suffering ,,the ,,agony ,,in ,,gethsemane4 ,and they come unto a place which was named ,gethsemane3 and he saith unto his disciples1 ,sit ye here1 while ,i pray4 ,and he taketh with him ,peter and ,james and ,john1 and began to be greatly amazed1 and sore troubled4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,my soul is exceeding sorrowful1 even unto death3 abide ye here1 and watch4 ,and he went forward a little1 and fell on the ground1 and prayed that1 if it were possible1 the hour might pass away from him4 ,and he said1 ,abba1 ,father1 all things are possible unto thee2 remove this cup from me3 howbeit not what ,i will1 but what thou wilt4 ,and there appeared unto him an angel from heaven1 strengthening him4 ,and being in an agony1 he prayed more earnestly2 and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground4 ,and when he rose up from his prayer1 he came unto the disciples1 and found them sleeping for sorrow1 and said unto ,peter1 ,simon1 sleepest thou8 ,couldest thou not watch one hour8 ,watch and pray1 that ye enter not into temptation3 the spirit indeed is willing1 but the flesh is weak4 ,again a second time he went away1 and prayed1 saying1 ,my ,father1 if this cannot pass away1 except ,i drink it1 thy will be done4 ,and he came again and found them sleeping1 for their eyes were heavy4 ,and he left them again1 and went away1 and prayed a third time1 saying the same words4 ,then cometh he to the disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,sleep on now1 and take your rest3 behold1 the hour is at hand1 and the ,son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners4 ,arise1 let us be going3 behold1 he is at hand that betrayeth me4 ,,the ,,betrayal ,,and ,,arrest4 ,and straightway1 while he yet spake1 cometh ,judas1 one of the twelve1 and with him a multitude with swords and staves1 from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders4 ,now he that betrayed him had given them a token1 saying1 ,whomsoever ,i shall kiss1 that is he2 take him1 and lead him away safely4 ,and when he was come1 straightway he came to him1 and saith1 ,rabbi1 and kissed him4 ,but ,jesus said unto him1 ,judas1 betrayest thou the ,son of man with a kiss8 ,jesus1 therefore1 knowing all the things that were coming upon him1 went forth1 and saith unto them4 ,whom seek ye8 ,they answered him1 ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,jesus saith unto them4 ,i am he4 ,and ,judas also1 who betrayed him1 was standing with them4 ,when therefore he said unto them1 ,i am he1 they went backward1 and fell to the ground4 ,again therefore he asked them1 ,whom seek ye8 ,and they said1 ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,jesus answered1 ,i told you that ,i am he2 if therefore ye seek me1 let these go their way3 that the word might be fulfilled which he spake1 ,of those whom thou hast given me ,i lost not one4 ,and when they that were about him saw what would follow1 they said1 ,lord1 shall we smite with the sword8 ,simon ,peter therefore having a sword drew it1 and struck the high priest's servant1 and cut off his right ear4 ,now the servant's name was ,malchus4 ,but ,jesus answered and said1 ,suffer ye them thus far4 ,and he touched his ear1 and healed him4 ,then saith ,jesus unto ,peter1 ,put up again thy sword into its place3 for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword4 ,or thinkest thou that ,i cannot beseech my ,father and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels8 ,how then should the scriptures be fulfilled1 that thus it must be8 ,the cup which the ,father hath given me1 shall ,i not drink it8 ,and ,jesus said unto the chief priest's and captains of the temple1 and elders1 that were come against him1 ,are ye come out1 as against a robber1 with swords and staves8 ,when ,i was daily with you in the temple1 ye stretched not forth your hands against me3 but this is your hour1 and the power of darkness4 ,then all the disciples left him1 and fled4 ,and a certain young man followed with him1 having a linen cloth cast about him1 over his naked body2 and they lay hold on him2 but he left the linen cloth1 and fled naked4 ,,the ,,trial ,,before ,,the ,,jewish ,,authorities4 ,so the band and the chief captain1 and the officers of the ,jews1 seized ,jesus and bound him1 and led him to ,annas first2 for he was father in law to ,caiaphas1 who was high priest that year4 ,now ,caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the ,jews1 that it was expedient that one man should die for the people4 ,and ,simon ,peter followed ,jesus1 and so did another disciple4 ,now that disciple was known unto the high priest1 and entered in with ,jesus into the court of the high priest2 but ,peter was standing at the door without4 ,so the other disciple1 who was known unto the high priest1 went out and spake unto her that kept the door1 and brought in ,peter4 ,the maid therefore that kept the door saith unto ,peter1 ,art thou also one of this man's disciples8 ,he saith1 ,i am not4 ,now the servants and the officers were standing there1 having made a fire of coals2 for it was cold2 and they were warming themselves2 and ,peter also was with them standing and warming himself4 ,the high priest therefore asked ,jesus of his disciples1 and of his teaching4 ,jesus answered him1 ,i have spoken openly to the world2 ,i ever taught in synagogues1 and in the temple1 where all the ,jews come together2 and in secret spake ,i nothing4 ,why askest thou me8 ,ask them that have heard me1 what ,i spake unto them3 behold1 these know the things which ,i said4 ,and when he had said this1 one of the officers standing by struck ,jesus with his hand1 saying1 ,answerest thou the high priest so8 ,jesus answered him1 ,if ,i have spoken evil1 bear witness of the evil2 but if well1 why smitest thou me8 ,annas therefore sent him bound unto ,caiaphas the high priest4 ,now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against ,jesus to put him to death2 and found it not4 ,for many bare false witness against him1 and their witness agreed not together4 ,and there stood up certain1 and bare false witness against him1 saying1 ,we heard him say1 ,i will destroy this temple that is made with hands1 and in three days ,i will build another made without hands4 ,and not even so did their witness agree together4 ,and the high priest stood up in the midst1 and asked ,jesus1 saying1 ,answerest thou nothing8 ,what is it which these witness against thee8 ,but he held his peace1 and answered nothing4 ,and the high priest said unto him1 ,i adjure thee by the living ,god1 that thou tell us whether thou art the ,christ1 the ,son of ,god4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,i am3 and ye shall see the ,son of man sitting at the right hand of ,power1 and coming with the clouds of heaven4 ,and the high priest rent his clothes1 and saith1 ,what further need have we of witnesses8 ,ye have heard the blasphemy3 what think ye8 ,and they all condemned him to be worthy of death4 ,then did they spit in his face and buffet him4 ,and they blindfolded him and smote him with the palms of their hands1 saying1 ,prophesy unto us1 thou ,christ3 who is he that struck thee8 ,,the ,,denial ,,of ,,peter4 ,and as ,peter was beneath in the court1 there cometh one of the maids of the high priest2 and seeing ,peter warming himself1 she looked upon him1 and saith1 ,thou also wast with the ,nazarene1 even ,jesus4 ,but he denied1 saying1 ,i neither know nor understand what thou sayest1 and he went out into the porch2 and the cock crew4 ,and after a little while they that stood by came and said to ,peter1 ,of a truth thou also art one of them2 for thy speech maketh thee known4 ,then began he to curse and to swear1 ,i know not the man4 ,and straightway the cock crew4 ,and the ,lord turned1 and looked upon ,peter4 ,and ,peter remembered the word of the ,lord1 how that he said unto him1 ,before the cock crow twice thou shalt deny me thrice4 ,and he went out1 and wept bitterly4 99 99 99 99 99 ,and straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes1 and the whole council1 held a consultation1 and bound ,jesus1 and carried him away1 and delivered him up to ,pilate1 the governor4 ,,the ,,remorse ,,of ,,judas4 ,then ,judas1 who betrayed him1 when he saw that he was condemned1 repented himself1 and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders1 saying1 ,i have sinned in that ,i betrayed innocent blood4 ,but they said1 ,what is that to us8 ,see thou to it4 ,and he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary1 and departed2 and he went away and hanged himself4 ,and the chief priests took the pieces of silver1 and said1 ,it is not lawful to put them into the treasury1 since it is the price of blood4 ,and they took counsel1 and bought with them the potter's field1 to bury strangers in4 ,wherefore that field was called1 ,the field of blood1 unto this day4 ,then was fulfilled that which was spoken through ,jeremiah the prophet1 saying1 ,and they took the thirty pieces of silver1 the price of him that was priced1 whom certain of the children of ,israel did price2 and they gave them for the potter's field1 as the ,lord appointed me4 ,,the ,,trial ,,before ,,pilate4 ,they lead ,jesus therefore from ,caiaphas into the ,praetorium3 and it was early2 and they themselves entered not into the ,praetorium1 that they might not be defiled1 but might eat the passover4 ,pilate therefore went out unto them1 and saith1 ,what accusation bring ye against this man8 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,if this man were not an evil-doer1 we should not have delivered him up unto thee4 ,pilate therefore said unto them1 ,take him yourselves1 and judge him according to your law4 ,the ,jews said unto him1 ,it is not lawful for us to put any man to death3 that the word of ,jesus might be fulfilled1 which he spake1 signifying by what manner of death he should die4 ,and they began to accuse him1 saying1 ,we found this man perverting our nation1 and forbidding to give tribute to ,caesar1 and saying that he himself is ,christ a king4 ,and when he was accused by the chief priests and elders1 he answered nothing4 ,then saith ,pilate unto him1 ,hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee8 ,and he gave him no answer1 not even to one word3 insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly4 ,pilate therefore entered again into the ,praetorium1 and called ,jesus1 and said unto him1 ,art thou the ,king of the ,jews8 ,jesus answered1 ,sayest thou this of thyself1 or did others tell it thee concerning me8 ,pilate answered1 ,am ,i a ,jew8 ,thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me3 what hast thou done8 ,jesus answered1 ,my kingdom is not of this world3 if my kingdom were of this world1 then would my servants fight1 that ,i should not be delivered to the ,jews2 but now is my kingdom not from hence4 ,pilate therefore said unto him1 ,art thou a king then8 ,jesus answered1 ,thou sayest that ,i am a king4 ,to this end have ,i been born1 and to this end am ,i come into the world1 that ,i should bear witness unto the truth4 ,every one that is of the truth heareth my voice4 ,pilate saith unto him1 ,what is truth8 ,and when he had said this1 he went out again unto the ,jews1 and saith unto them1 ,i find no crime in him4 ,but they were the more urgent1 saying1 ,he stirreth up the people1 teaching throughout all ,judaea1 and beginning from ,galilee1 even unto this place4 ,but when ,pilate heard it1 he asked whether the man were a ,galilaean4 ,and when he knew that he was of ,herod's jurisdiction1 he sent him unto ,herod1 who himself also was at ,jerusalem in these days4 ,,jesus ,,before ,,herod4 ,now when ,herod saw ,jesus1 he was exceeding glad2 for he was of a long time desirous to see him1 because he had heard concerning him2 and he hoped to see some miracle done by him4 ,and he questioned him in many words2 but he answered him nothing4 ,and the chief priests and the scribes stood1 vehemently accusing him4 ,and ,herod with his soldiers set him at nought1 and mocked him1 and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to ,pilate4 ,and ,herod and ,pilate became friends with each other that very day3 for before they were at enmity between themselves4 ,,the ,,trial ,,before ,,pilate ,,resumed4 ,and ,pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people1 and said unto them1 ,ye brought unto me this man1 as one that perverteth the people3 and behold1 ,i1 having examined him before you1 found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him3 no1 nor yet ,herod3 for he sent him back unto us2 and behold1 nothing worthy of death hath been done by him4 ,i will therefore chastise him1 and release him4 ,now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner1 whom they would4 ,and they had then a notable prisoner1 called ,barabbas1 lying bound with them that had made insurrection1 men who in the insurrection had committed murder4 ,and the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them4 ,and ,pilate answered them1 saying1 ,will ye that ,i release unto you the ,king of the ,jews8 ,for he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up4 ,now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for ,barabbas1 and destroy ,jesus4 ,but the governor answered and said unto them1 ,which of the two will ye that ,i release unto you8 ,and they said1 ,barabbas4 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,what then shall ,i do unto ,jesus who is called ,christ8 ,they all say1 ,let him be crucified4 ,and he said unto them a third time1 ,why1 what evil hath this man done8 ,i have found no cause of death in him3 ,i will therefore chastise and release him4 ,then ,pilate therefore took ,jesus1 and scourged him4 ,and the soldiers led him away within the court1 which is the ,praetorium2 and they call together the whole band4 ,and they stripped him1 and arrayed him in a purple garment4 ,and they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head1 and a reed in his right hand2 and they kneeled down before him1 and mocked him1 saying3 ,hail1 ,king of the ,jews6 and they struck him with their hands4 ,and they spat upon him1 and took the reed and smote him upon the head4 ,and ,pilate went out again1 and saith unto them1 ,behold1 ,i bring him out to you1 that ye may know that ,i find no crime in him4 ,jesus therefore came out1 wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment4 ,and ,pilate saith unto them1 ,behold1 the man6 ,when therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him1 they cried out1 saying1 ,crucify him1 crucify him6 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,take him yourselves1 and crucify him3 for ,i find no crime in him4 ,the ,jews answered him1 ,we have a law1 and by that law he ought to die1 because he made himself the ,son of ,god4 ,when ,pilate therefore heard this saying1 he was the more afraid2 and he entered into the ,praetorium again1 and saith unto ,jesus1 ,whence art thou8 ,but ,jesus gave him no answer4 ,pilate therefore saith unto him1 ,speakest thou not unto me8 ,knowest thou not that ,i have power to release thee1 and have power to crucify thee8 ,jesus answered him1 ,thou wouldest have no power against me1 except it were given thee from above3 therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin4 ,upon this ,pilate sought to release him3 but the ,jews cried out1 saying1 ,if thou release this man1 thou art not ,caesar's friend3 every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against ,caesar4 ,when ,pilate therefore heard these words1 he brought ,jesus out1 and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called ,the ,pavement1 but in ,hebrew1 ,gabbatha4 ,and while he was sitting on the judgment-seat1 his wife sent unto him1 saying1 ,have thou nothing to do with that righteous man2 for ,i have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him4 ,now it was the ,preparation of the passover3 it was about the sixth hour4 ,and he saith unto the ,jews1 ,behold1 your ,king4 ,they therefore cried out1 ,away with him1 away with him1 crucify him6 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,shall ,i crucify your ,king8 ,the chief priests answered1 ,we have no king but ,caesar4 ,so when ,pilate saw that he prevailed nothing1 but rather that a tumult was arising1 he took water1 and washed his hands before the multitude1 saying1 ,i am innocent of the blood of this righteous man2 see ye to it4 ,and all the people answered and said1 ,his blood be on us1 and on our children4 ,and they were urgent with loud voices asking that he might be crucified4 ,and their voices prevailed4 ,and ,pilate1 wishing to content the multitude1 gave sentence that what they asked for should be done4 ,and he released unto them ,barabbas1 him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison1 whom they asked for2 but ,jesus he delivered up to their will4 ,and when they had mocked him1 they took off from him the robe1 and put on him his garments1 and led him away to crucify him4 ,,the ,,sorrowful ,,way4 ,they took ,jesus therefore3 and he went out1 bearing the cross for himself4 ,and as they came out1 they laid hold upon one ,simon of ,cyrene1 the father of ,alexander and ,rufus1 who was passing by1 coming from the country2 him they compelled to go with them1 and laid on him the cross1 that he might bear it after ,jesus4 ,and there followed him a great multitude of the people1 and of women who bewailed and lamented him4 ,but ,jesus turning unto them said1 ,daughters of ,jerusalem1 weep not for me1 but weep for yourselves1 and for your children4 ,for behold1 the days are coming1 in which they shall say1 ',blessed are the barren1 and the wombs that never bare1 and the breasts that never gave suck4' ,then shall they begin to say to the mountains1 ',fall on us2' and to the hills1 ',cover us4' ,for if they do these things in the green tree1 what shall be done in the dry8 ,and there were also two others1 malefactors1 led with him to be put to death4 ,,the ,,crucifixion4 ,and when they were come unto a place called ,golgotha1 that is to say1 ,the place of a skull1 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall3 and when he had tasted it1 he would not drink4 ,there they crucified him1 and the malefactors1 one on the right hand and the other on the left4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,father1 forgive them2 for they know not what they do4 ,and ,pilate wrote a title also1 and put it on the cross4 ,and there was written3 ,,jesus ,,of ,,nazareth1 ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4 ,this title therefore read many of the ,jews1 for the place where ,jesus was crucified was nigh to the city2 and it was written in ,hebrew1 and in ,latin1 and in ,greek4 ,the chief priests of the ,jews therefore said to ,pilate1 ,write not1 ',the ,king of the ,jews1' but that he said1 ',i am ,king of the ,jews4' ,pilate answered1 ,what ,i have written ,i have written4 ,the soldiers therefore1 when they had crucified ,jesus1 took his garments and made four parts1 to every soldier a part2 and also the coat3 now the coat was without seam1 woven from the top throughout4 ,they said therefore one to another1 ,let us not rend it1 but cast lots for it1 whose it shall be3 that the scripture might be fulfilled1 which saith1 ,they parted my garments among them1 ,and upon my vesture did they cast lots4 ,these things therefore the soldiers did2 and they sat and watched him there4 ,and the people stood beholding4 ,and they that passed by railed on him1 wagging their heads1 and saying1 ,thou that destroyest the temple1 and buildest it in three days1 save thyself3 if thou art the ,son of ,god1 come down from the cross4 ,in like manner also1 the chief priests mocking him1 with the scribes and elders1 said1 ,he saved others2 himself he cannot save4 ,let the ,christ1 the ,king of ,israel1 now come down from the cross1 that we may see and believe4 ,he trusteth on ,god2 let him deliver him now1 if he desireth him3 for he said1 ,i am the ,son of ,god4 ,and one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him1 saying1 ,art not thou the ,christ8 ,save thyself and us4 ,but the other answered1 and rebuking him said1 ,dost thou not even fear ,god1 seeing thou art in the same condemnation8 ,and we indeed justly2 for we receive the due reward of our deeds3 but this man hath done nothing amiss4 ,and he said1 ,jesus1 remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom4 ,and he said unto him1 ,verily ,i say unto thee1 ,to-day shalt thou be with me in ,paradise4 ,but there were standing by the cross of ,jesus his mother1 and his mother's sister1 ,mary the wife of ,clopas1 and ,mary ,magdalene4 ,when ,jesus therefore saw his mother1 and the disciple standing by whom he loved1 he saith unto his mother1 ,woman1 behold thy son6 ,then saith he to the disciple1 ,behold1 thy mother6 ,and from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home4 ,and when the sixth hour was come1 there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour4 ,and at the ninth hour ,jesus cried with a loud voice1 ,eloi1 ,eloi1 lama sabachthani8 which is1 being interpreted4 ,my ,god1 my ,god1 why hast thou forsaken me4 ,and some of them that stood by1 when they heard it1 said1 ,behold1 he calleth ,elijah4 ,after this1 ,jesus1 knowing that all things are now finished1 that the scripture might be accomplished1 saith1 ,i thirst4 ,there was set there a vessel full of vinegar3 so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop1 and brought it to his mouth4 ,when ,jesus therefore had received the vinegar1 he said1 ,it is finished4 ,and ,jesus1 crying with a loud voice1 said1 ,father1 into thy hands ,i commend my spirit1 and having said this1 he gave up the ghost4 ,and behold1 the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom2 and the earth did quake2 and the rocks were rent2 and the tombs were opened2 and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised2 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many4 ,now the centurion1 and they that were with him watching ,jesus1 when they saw the earthquake1 and the things that were done1 feared exceedingly1 saying1 ,truly this was the ,son of ,god4 ,and all the multitudes that came together to this sight1 when they beheld the things that were done1 returned smiting their breasts4 ,and many women were there beholding from afar1 who had followed ,jesus from ,galilee1 ministering unto him2 among whom was ,mary ,magdalene1 and ,mary the mother of ,james and ,joses1 and the mother of the sons of ,zebedee4 ,the ,jews therefore1 because it was the ,preparation1 that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath 7for the day of that sabbath was a high day71 asked of ,pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away4 ,the soldiers therefore came1 and brake the legs of the first1 and of the other that was crucified with him3 but when they came to ,jesus1 and saw that he was dead already1 they brake not his legs3 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side1 and straightway there came out blood and water4 ,and he that hath seen hath borne witness1 and his witness is true3 and he knoweth that he saith true1 that ye also may believe4 ,for these things came to pass1 that the scripture might be fulfilled1 ,a bone of him shall not be broken4 ,and again another scripture saith1 ,they shall look on him whom they pierced4 ,,the ,,burial4 ,and after these things1 when even was come1 there came a rich man from ,arimathaea1 named ,joseph1 a councillor of honorable estate1 a disciple of ,jesus1 but secretly for fear of the ,jews2 and he boldly went in unto ,pilate and asked for the body of ,jesus4 ,and ,pilate marvelled if he were already dead3 and calling unto him the centurion1 he asked him whether he had been any while dead4 ,and when he learned it of the centurion1 he granted the corpse to ,joseph4 ,he came therefore1 and took away his body4 ,and there came also ,nicodemus1 he who at the first came to him by night1 bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes1 about a hundred pounds4 ,so they took the body of ,jesus1 and bound it in linen cloths with the spices1 as the custom of the ,jews is to bury4 ,now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden3 and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid4 ,there then because of the ,jews' ,preparation 7for the tomb was nigh at hand71 they laid ,jesus2 and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb4 ,and ,mary ,magdalene and ,mary the mother of ,jesus beheld the tomb1 and how his body was laid4 ,and they returned1 and prepared spices and ointments4 ,,saturday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,silence ,,and ,,sorrow ,,the ,,watch ,,at ,,the ,,tomb4 ,now on the morrow1 which is the day after the ,preparation1 the chief priests and the ,pharisees were gathered together unto ,pilate1 saying1 ,sir1 we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive1 ',after three days ,i rise again4' ,command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day1 lest haply his disciples come and steal him away1 and say unto the people1 ',he is risen from the dead1' and the last error will be worse than the first4 ,pilate said unto them1 ,ye have a guard3 go1 make it as sure as ye can4 ,so they went1 and made the sepulchre sure1 sealing the stone1 the guard being with them4 ,,his ,,resurrection 99 99 99 99 99 ,,sunday--,,the ,,day ,,of ,,resurrection ,,the ,,earthquake4 ,and behold1 there was a great earthquake2 for an angel of the ,lord descended from heaven1 and came and rolled away the stone1 and sat upon it4 ,his appearance was as lightning1 and his raiment white as snow3 and for fear of him the watchers did quake1 and became as dead men4 ,,the ,,empty ,,tomb4 ,now on the first day of the week cometh ,mary ,magdalene early1 while it was yet dark1 unto the tomb1 and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb4 ,she runneth therefore1 and cometh to ,simon ,peter1 and to the other disciple whom ,jesus loved1 and saith unto them1 ,they have taken away the ,lord out of the tomb1 and we know not where they have laid him4 ,peter therefore went forth1 and the other disciple1 and they went toward the tomb4 ,and they ran both together3 and the other disciple outran ,peter1 and came first to the tomb2 and stooping and looking in1 he seeth the linen cloths lying2 yet entered he not in4 ,simon ,peter therefore also cometh1 following him1 and entered into the tomb2 and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying1 and the napkin1 that was upon his head1 not lying with the linen cloths1 but rolled up in a place by itself4 ,then entered in therefore the other disciple also1 who came first to the tomb1 and he saw1 and believed4 ,for as yet they knew not the scripture1 that he must rise again from the dead4 ,so the disciples went away again unto their own home4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,mary4 ,but ,mary was standing without at the tomb weeping3 so1 as she wept1 she stooped and looked into the tomb2 and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting1 one at the head1 and one at the feet1 where the body of ,jesus had lain4 ,and they say unto her1 ,woman1 why weepest thou8 ,she saith unto them1 ,because they have taken away my ,lord1 and ,i know not where they have laid him4 ,when she had thus said1 she turned herself back1 and beholdeth ,jesus standing1 and knew not that it was ,jesus4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 why weepest thou8 ,whom seekest thou8 ,she1 supposing him to be the gardener1 saith unto him1 ,sir1 if thou hast borne him hence1 tell me where thou hast laid him1 and ,i will take him away4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,mary4 ,she turneth herself1 and saith unto him in ,hebrew1 ,rabboni2 which is to say1 ,teacher4 ,jesus saith to her1 ,touch me not2 for ,i am not yet ascended unto the ,father3 but go unto my brethren1 and say to them1 ',i ascend unto my ,father1 and your ,father1 and my ,god and your ,god4' ,mary ,magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples1 ,i have seen the ,lord2 and that he had said these things unto her4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,the ,,women4 ,and the women which had come with him out of ,galilee came unto the tomb1 bringing the spices which they had prepared4 ,and they were saying among themselves1 ,who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb8 and looking up1 they see that the stone is rolled back3 for it was exceeding great4 ,and entering into the tomb1 they saw a young man sitting on the right side arrayed in a white robe2 and they were amazed4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,be not amazed3 ye seek ,jesus1 the ,nazarene1 who hath been crucified3 he is risen2 he is not here3 behold1 the place where they laid him6 ,but go1 tell his disciples and ,peter1 ',he goeth before you into ,galilee3 there shall ye see him1 as he said unto you4' ,and they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy1 and ran to bring his disciples word4 ,and behold1 ,jesus met them1 saying1 ,all hail4 ,and they came and took hold of his feet1 and worshipped him4 ,then saith ,jesus unto them1 ,fear not3 go tell my brethren that they depart into ,galilee1 and there shall they see me4 ,,report ,,of ,,the ,,watch4 ,now while they were going1 behold1 some of the guard came into the city1 and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass4 ,and when they were assembled with the elders1 and had taken counsel1 they gave much money unto the soldiers1 saying1 ,say ye1 ',his disciples came by night1 and stole him away while we slept4' ,and if this come to the governor's ears1 we will persuade him1 and rid you of care4 ,so they took the money and did as they were taught3 and this saying was spread abroad among the ,jews1 and continueth until this day4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,at ,,emmaus4 ,and behold1 two of them were going that very day to a village named ,emmaus1 which was three-score furlongs from ,jerusalem4 ,and they communed with each other of all these things which had happened4 ,and it came to pass1 while they communed and questioned together1 that ,jesus himself drew near1 and went with them4 ,but their eyes were holden that they should not know him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,what communications are these that ye have one with another1 as ye walk8 ,and they stood still1 looking sad4 ,and one of them1 named ,cleopas1 answering1 said unto him1 ,dost thou alone sojourn in ,jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days8 ,and he said unto them1 ,what things8 ,and they said unto him1 ,the things concerning ,jesus the ,nazarene1 who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before ,god1 and all the people3 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death1 and crucified him4 ,but we hoped that it was he who should redeem ,israel4 ,yea1 and besides all this1 it is now the third day since these things came to pass4 ,moreover1 certain women of our company amazed us1 having been early at the tomb2 and when they found not his body1 they came1 saying1 that they had also seen a vision of angels1 who said that he was alive4 ,and certain of them that were with us went to the tomb1 and found it even so as the women had said3 but him they saw not4 ,and he said unto them1 ,o foolish men1 and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken6 ,behooved it not the ,christ to suffer these things1 and to enter into his glory8 ,and beginning from ,moses and from all the prophets1 he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself4 ,and they drew nigh unto the village1 whither they were going3 and he made as though he would go further4 ,and they constrained him1 saying1 ,abide with us2 for it is toward evening1 and the day is now far spent4 ,and he went in to abide with them4 ,and it came to pass1 when he had sat down with them to meat1 he took the bread and blessed2 and breaking it1 he gave to them4 ,and their eyes were opened1 and they knew him2 and he vanished out of their sight4 ,and they said one to another1 ,was not our heart burning within us1 while he spake to us in the way1 while he opened to us the scriptures8 ,and they rose up that very hour1 and returned to ,jerusalem1 and found the eleven gathered together1 and them that were with them1 saying1 ,the ,lord is risen indeed1 and hath appeared to ,simon4 ,and they rehearsed the things that happened in the way1 and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,the ,,disciples4 ,when therefore it was evening1 on that day1 the first day of the week1 and when the doors were shut where the disciples were1 for fear of the ,jews1 ,jesus came and stood in the midst and saith unto them1 ,peace be unto you4 ,but they were terrified and affrighted1 and supposed that they beheld a spirit4 ,and he said unto them1 ,why are ye troubled8 and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart8 ,see my hands and my feet1 that it is ,i myself3 handle me1 and see2 for a spirit hath not flesh and bones1 as ye behold me having4 ,and when he had said this1 he showed them his hands and his feet4 ,and while they still disbelieved for joy1 and wondered1 he said unto them1 ,have ye here anything to eat8 ,and they gave him a piece of a broiled fish4 ,and he took it1 and ate before them4 ,jesus therefore said to them again1 ,peace be unto you3 as the ,father hath sent me1 even so send ,i you4 ,and when he had said this1 he breathed on them1 and saith unto them1 ,receive ye the ,holy ,spirit3 whose soever sins ye forgive1 they are forgiven unto them2 whose soever sins ye retain1 they are retained4 ,,after ,,the ,,resurrection ,,day ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,the ,,disciples ,,and ,,to ,,thomas4 ,but ,thomas1 one of the twelve1 called ,didymus1 was not with them when ,jesus came4 ,the other disciples therefore said unto him1 ,we have seen the ,lord4 ,but he said unto them1 ,except ,i shall see in his hands the print of the nails1 and put my finger into the print of the nails1 and put my hand into his side1 ,i will not believe4 ,and after eight days again his disciples were within1 and ,thomas with them4 ,jesus cometh1 the doors being shut1 and stood in the midst1 and said1 ,peace be unto you4 ,then saith he to ,thomas1 ,reach hither thy finger1 and see my hands2 and reach hither thy hand1 and put it into my side3 and be not faithless1 but believing4 ,thomas answered and said unto him1 ,my ,lord and my ,god4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,because thou hast seen me1 thou hast believed3 blessed are they that have not seen1 and yet have believed4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,the ,,seven ,,by ,,the ,,sea4 ,after these things ,jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of ,tiberias2 and he manifested himself on this wise4 ,there were together ,simon ,peter1 and ,thomas called ,didymus and ,nathanael of ,cana in ,galilee1 and the sons of ,zebedee1 and two other of his disciples4 ,simon ,peter saith unto them1 ,i go a fishing4 ,they say unto him1 ,we also come with thee4 ,they went forth1 and entered into the boat2 and that night they took nothing4 ,but when day was now breaking1 ,jesus stood on the beach3 yet the disciples knew not that it was ,jesus4 ,jesus therefore saith unto them1 ,children1 have ye aught to eat8 ,they answered him1 ,no4 ,and he said unto them1 ,cast the net on the right side of the boat1 and ye shall find4 ,they cast therefore1 and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes4 ,that disciple therefore whom ,jesus loved saith unto ,peter1 ,it is the ,lord4 ,so when ,simon ,peter heard that it was the ,lord1 he girt his coat about him 7for he was naked71 and cast himself into the sea4 ,but the other disciples came in the little boat 7for they were not far from the land1 but about two hundred cubits off71 dragging the net full of fishes4 ,so when they got out upon the land1 they see a fire of coals there1 and fish laid thereon1 and bread4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,bring of the fish which ye have now taken4 ,simon ,peter therefore went up1 and drew the net to land1 full of great fishes1 a hundred and fifty and three2 and for all there were so many1 the net was not rent4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,come and break your fast4 ,and none of the disciples durst inquire of him1 ,who art thou8 knowing that it was the ,lord4 ,jesus cometh1 and taketh the bread1 and giveth them1 and the fish likewise4 ,this is now the third time that ,jesus was manifested to the disciples1 after that he was risen from the dead4 ,so when they had broken their fast1 ,jesus saith to ,simon ,peter1 ,simon1 son of ,john1 lovest thou me more than these8 ,he saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord2 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,he saith unto him1 ,feed my lambs4 ,he saith unto him again a second time1 ,simon1 son of ,john1 lovest thou me8 ,he saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord1 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,he saith unto him1 ,tend my sheep4 ,he saith unto him the third time1 ,simon1 son of ,john1 lovest thou me8 ,peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time1 ,lovest thou me8 ,and he said unto him1 ,lord1 thou knowest all things2 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,feed my sheep4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,when thou wast young1 thou girdedst thyself1 and walkedst whither thou wouldest2 but when thou shalt be old1 thou shalt stretch forth thy hands1 and another shall gird thee1 and carry thee whither thou wouldest not4 ,now this he spake1 signifying by what manner of death he should glorify ,god4 ,and when he had spoken this1 he saith unto him1 ,follow me4 ,peter1 turning about1 seeth the disciple whom ,jesus loved following2 who also leaned back on his breast at the supper1 and said1 ,lord1 who is he that betrayeth thee8 ,peter therefore seeing him saith to ,jesus1 ,lord1 and what shall this man do8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,if ,i will that he tarry till ,i come1 what is that to thee8 ,follow thou me4 ,this saying therefore went forth among the brethren1 that that disciple should not die3 yet ,jesus said not unto him1 that he should not die1 but1 ,if ,i will that he tarry till ,i come1 what is that to thee8 ,,the ,,appearance ,,to ,,the ,,eleven ,,on ,,the ,,mountain4 ,the eleven disciples went into ,galilee1 unto the mountain where ,jesus had appointed them4 ,and when they saw him1 they worshipped him2 but some doubted4 ,and ,jesus came to them and spake unto them1 saying1 ,all authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth4 ,go ye therefore1 and make disciples of all the nations1 baptizing them in the name of the ,father and of the ,son and of the ,holy ,spirit3 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever ,i commanded you3 and lo1 ,i am with you always1 even unto the end of the world4 ,,the ,,last ,,appearance ,,and ,,ascension4 ,and he said unto them1 ,these are my words which ,i spake unto you1 while ,i was yet with you1 that all things must needs be fulfilled1 which are written in the law of ,moses1 and the prophets1 and the psalms1 concerning me4 ,then opened he their mind1 that they might understand the scriptures2 and he said unto them1 ,thus it is written1 that the ,christ should suffer1 and rise again from the dead the third day2 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations1 beginning from ,jerusalem4 ,ye are witnesses of these things4 ,and behold1 ,i send forth the promise of my ,father upon you3 but tarry ye in the city1 until ye be clothed with power from on high4 ,and he led them out until they were over against ,bethany3 and he lifted up his hands1 and blessed them4 ,and it came to pass1 while he blessed them1 he parted from them1 and was carried up into heaven4 ,and they worshipped him1 and returned to ,jerusalem with great joy3 and were continually in the temple1 blessing ,god4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,many ,,other ,,signs ,,therefore ,,did ,,jesus ,,in ,,the ,,presence ,,of ,,the ,,disciples ,,which ,,are ,,not ,,written ,,in ,,this ,,book1 ,,but ,,these ,,are ,,written1 ,,that ,,ye ,,may ,,believe ,,that ,,jesus ,,is ,,the ,,christ1 ,,the ,,son ,,of ,,god2 ,,and ,,that ,,believing ,,ye ,,may ,,have ,,life ,,in ,,his ,,name4
