and he shall march before him, in the spirit and power of Elias, to reconcile parents and children together, and the unruly to the practice of justice, that the people may be duly dispos'd to receive the Lord.

and you, dear babe, you shall be the prophet of the most high: for you shall go before the Lord, in order to prepare his way,

(this register was made before Quirinus was prefect of Syria.)

The eighth day, when the child was to be circumcised, being come, he was named Jesus, the name, which the angel had given before his conception.

As soon as the sun was set, all sorts of diseased persons were brought before him by their friends, and he healed them all, by laying his hands upon them.

at sight of this, Simon Peter fell on his knees before Jesus, and said, Lord, withdraw from such a sinful man as I:

As he was going to one of the cities in that country, a man cover'd all over with leprosy happen'd to meet Jesus, and prostrating himself before him, thus address'd him, Lord, if you will, you can cure me.

immediately he started up before them all, took up the bed, where he lay, and went home, glorifying God.

but as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man, whose hand was paralytic, rise up, and stand there in the middle. and he arose, and stood before him.

he it is, of whom it is written, "behold, I send my messenger before you, who shall prepare the way for you."

upon seeing Jesus, he set up a great cry, fell down before him, and roar'd out, what business have you with me, Jesus son of the most high God? I beseech you torment me not.

then the woman finding she could not conceal herself, came trembling, and kneeling down before him, confess'd before all the people, why she had touch'd him, and how she was instantly cured.

and before the sound was gone, Jesus was left alone: this they kept secret, and for some time did not acquaint any one in the least with what they had seen.

but Jesus perceiving what they thought, took a child and set him before him: then said to them,

and he sent messengers before, who went to a town of the Samaritans, to prepare a lodging for him.

After this the Lord nominated seventy disciples more, and sent them before by two and two, into all the cities, and towns, where he himself design'd to go.

when you come to any city, where they receive you, eat without scruple, whatever food is set before you,

but the Pharisee was surprized to see that he did not wash before dinner.

moreover I declare unto you, whoever shall acknowledge me before men, him shall the son of man also own before the angels of God.

but whoever shall renounce me before men, he shall be renounc'd before the angels of God.

when you are brought into the synagogues, and before magistrates and rulers, be not sollicitous what to say in your own defence;

When you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, pay the interest, and get your discharge, while you are on the way; for fear he should bring you before the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into jail.

but when you are invited, go place your self last; that he, who invited you, when he comes, may say to you, friend, go up higher: and that will do you honour before all the company at table.

that in case he is not, he may send an embassy, and desire conditions of peace, before the other approaches.

but he said to them, you pretend to piety before men, which, however they may admire, is an abomination to God, who knows your real temper.

but before this, he must undergo many sufferings, and be rejected by this generation:

so he ran before, and climb'd up a mulberry-tree to view him; for he was to pass that way.

for the time will shortly come, when your enemies shall open their trenches before thee, hem you in, and closely besiege you:

so not being able to take any advantage from his words, before the people, they said no more, being surpriz'd at his answer.

but before all these events, they will seize upon you and persecute you, drag you to the synagogues and to prisons, being accused before kings and governours, for professing my name.

and he said to them, I have ardently desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.

but Jesus said, before the cock proclaims the day, you will thrice deny that ever you knew me.

Before he had done speaking, the company appears, Judas one of the twelve marching in front, who advanc'd to Jesus to give him a kiss.

whereupon the Lord turned about, and look'd upon Peter. then Peter remembred what the Lord had said to him, "before the cock-crowing you shall deny me thrice."

As soon as it was day, the rulers of the people, the chief priests and the Scribes being assembled, they order'd him to be brought before their council,

whilst they were in great perplexity about it, all of a sudden, two men appear'd before them in robes of light.
