[OW a when he had ended all Now when the people, he entered into Caper naum. 2 And a certain centurion's ser vant, who was dear b unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought himi instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 5 For he loveth c our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centuriou sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble d not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under ny roof: 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but save in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For 1 also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers: and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. 11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. 12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 14 And he came and touched the 2 bier: and they that bure him The widow's son raised. stood still. And he said, Young) man, I say unto thee, f Arise. 15 And he that was dead g sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 16 And there came a fear on all : and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet h is risen up! among us; and, That i God hath visited his people. 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about. 18 And the disciples of John m Juo.1.46. showed him of all these things.

Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.g 26 But what went ye out for to SCE? A prophet?r Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 7 This is he, of whom it is written, s Behold, I send ny messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least inthe! kingdom of God is greater than he. 29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified t God, being baptized u with the baptism of John. trated. v Ac.20.27. 4 or, within Mary anoints Christ's feet. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers 3 rejected the counsel v of God 4 against themselves, being not baptized of him. 31 T And the Lord said, Whereunto w then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 32 They are like unto children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, and saving.

And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a simmer,b when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head. and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment 39 Now when the Pharisee which themselves. had bidden him saw it, he spake w Mat.11.16, within himself, saying, This man, &c. if c he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.d ch.1.15.

And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him, and a awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish! Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith?

Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard it, be answered him, saying. Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 151 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in. save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth." 53 And they laughed him to scorn,w knowing that she was dead. 51 And he put them all out, and 1 Christ sendeth out his apostles: 7 Herod is desirous to see him. 12 Christ feedeth five thousand: 28 his transfiguration, etc. TH HEN he a called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take b nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neithier bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when we go out of that city, shake c off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. 6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 7 Now Herod d the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; 8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John have I heheaded but who is this, of whom I hear such things?

Peter, q answering, said. The Christ of God. 21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22 Saying, the Son r of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 23 And he said to them all, Ifs any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. be 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever t shall ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste v of death, till they see the kingdom of God. 28 And w it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, andwent up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: |
