And when it was evening they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all that were sick,

And when the multitudes saw it they were afraid, and glorified God who had given such power to men.

But when the multitude were removed he went in and took her hand, and the girl arose.

and their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them strictly, saying, See that no one knows it.

And seeing the multitudes he had compassion on them because they were faint and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

And when the men of that place knew him, they sent to all the country around, and brought to him all that were sick,

and requested of him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were entirely cured.

Then the disciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?

And they all eat and were filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, seven store-baskets full.

And those who eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.

And as they were returning in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he shall be raised; and they were grieved exceedingly.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were assembled in the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas,

And his disciples seeing it were displeased, and said, Why is this waste?

And as they were eating Jesus took the bread, and having blessed, broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy.
