when they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem: and Joseph and his mother did not know it;

And He said to them, Why did ye so seek me? Did not ye know that I ought to be in my Father's house?

but they did not understand the word which He spake to them.

And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto the people.

But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did,

and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last He was hungry.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,

and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.

And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.

Rejoice in that day, and be exceeding glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for thus did their fathers to the prophets.

Wo unto you when all men speak well of you; for their fathers did the same to the false prophets.

neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.

and as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.

And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered him to his mother.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,

a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?

While He was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.

And they were all weeping and bewailing her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

And they did so, and caused them all to sit down.

And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?

but Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

for many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and did not see them; and to hear what ye hear, but did not hear them.

And Jesus replying said, There was a certain man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thieves, who after they had stripped and beaten him, went away, leaving him half dead.

And when the pharisee saw it he wondered that He did not wash first, before dinner.

Senseless creatures! Did not He who made the outside, make also that which is within? give alms rather according to your ability:

And that servant, who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself to do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.

And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:

And he would gladly have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat: and no man relieved him.

for this my son was dead, and is alive again, and was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

But it was fit we should be merry and rejoice; for this thy brother was dead, and is come to life again, was lost and is found.

and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.

And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.

But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

But he said to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant, Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

And they answered, they did not know whence it was.

But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.

And He said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, or bag, or shoes, did ye want any thing? and they said, Nothing.

When I was day after day with you in the temple, ye did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the ground, the men said unto them, Why do ye seek the living among the dead?

and their words appeared to them as an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

But their eyes were so restrained that they did not know Him.

And some of those that were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said: but Him they did not see.

And He disappeared from them. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, as He was talking with us by the way, and while He was opening to us the scriptures?
