be attach'd to me, and I shall be so to you. as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, except it be attach'd to the vine: so neither can you, except you continue attach'd to me.

883

for I am not yet secure of the prize, I have not yet finish'd my course: but I press to obtain the reward, which Jesus Christ invited me to.

888

Presently after Jesus obliged his disciples to embark, and cross over to the other side before him, whilst he dismiss'd the people.

889

because what should be known of God they are acquainted with; for God hath manifested it unto them.

890

then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk?

891

Jesus said likewise to his disciples, a certain rich man had an information against his steward, for making havock of his estate.

897

now there were six cisterns of stone plac'd there for the use of the Jews in their purifications, containing two or three firkins a-piece.

903

They arrived then to the other side of the sea, in the country of the Gadarenes.

905

or is it said, no doubt, for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he who plows should plow in hope; and that he who thresheth should expect the advantage.

907

I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this secret, (for fear you should presume too much on your selves) that blindness has fallen upon a part of Israel, until the time when the Gentiles shall be fully come in.

912

Upon the Pharisees asking him, when the kingdom of God should come, he answer'd them, the kingdom of God is not usher'd in with pomp and exclamations,

915

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

916

The Pharisees, and certain Scribes from Jerusalem, came in a body to Jesus;

921

and Saul was accessory to his death. At that time the persecution was so violent against the church at Jerusalem, they were all dispers'd through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles,

928

whilst I am alive, I think it my duty to awaken you by my admonitions:

932

our fathers worshipped upon this mountain; and you say, that Jerusalem is the place where we ought to perform our worship.

933

for if we wilfully apostatize, after having received the knowledge of the truth, it is as a sin for which there is no sacrifice appointed.

935

But there is one thing, my brethren, you ought to be appriz'd of, which is this, that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

940

to this said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

942

Jesus answer'd her, woman, leave that affair to me, is not that my concern?

951

and I wrote to you upon that disagreeable subject, that when I came, I might not receive uneasiness from those from whom I ought to receive comfort, being persuaded that you will all think yourselves interested to promote my satisfaction.

952

But his disciples having ask'd him the meaning of this parable;

957

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the divine appointment to the converts which are at Ephesus, who stand firm in the faith of Christ Jesus:

961

it is not my indigence that makes me say this: for I have learn'd, in whatevever state I am, therewith to be content: I know how to be in want,

966

for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?"

969

Asa the father of Josaphat, Josaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Ozias.

970

From thence Jesus went attended with his disciples to the villages of Cesarea Philippi. and ask'd them by the way, who do they say I am?

976

Then Paul being plac'd in the middle of the Areopagus, said thus, "I observe, O Athenians, that you are in a manner too devout.

977

which however rejected it is by men, is the precious stone, which God has chosen: and

978

Another parable he propos'd to them in these words. the state of the gospel in this world may be compar'd to a man who sowed good grain in his field:

979

and if a woman quits her husband and is married to another, she committeth adultery.

980

Now his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the paschal feast.

984

I writ this upon the presumption of your compliance, being persuaded that you will even do more than I mention.

993

Jesus answered her, they that drink of this water, will be thirsty again:

1002

verily, verily I say unto you, when a corn of wheat is thrown into the ground, there it lies a single grain unless it dies: but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.

1003

As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he happen'd to pass between Samaria and Galilee.

1010

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art, that condemnest another, for by condemning them, you condemn yourself; since you that condemn them, do the same things.

1012

Jesus perform'd many other miracles in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.

1013

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

1018

remember, " he who sows sparingly, shall reap also sparingly: and he who sows bountifully, shall reap also bountifully."

1025

is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, of Juda and Simon? are not these his sisters, who are here with us? and they were scandalized at him.

1029

While they were thus talking, Jesus himself appear'd in the midst of them, and said to them, peace be with you.

1030

I tell you likewise, ask, and it shall be given: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and the door shall be opened.

1040

I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

1041

every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be level'd: the crooked shall be made strait, and the rough ways shall be made smooth,

1043

which is the most important commandment of the law?

1045

he was of our number, and shared in the functions of this ministry.

1049

At length they came to Jericho, and as he was leaving Jericho, accompanied by his disciples, and a great number of people, a blind man called Bartimeus sat begging in the high-way.

1050

that they all followed him, both old and young. this man, said they, is the plenipotentiary of God.

1053

but another came and said, Lord, here's your money, which I laid up safe in a napkin.

1056

where the people, who were inform'd of it, followed him: which he did not discountenance, but explained to them the reign of the Messiah, and relieved those, who wanted to be cured.

1058

but after they had travers'd Phrygia and Galatia, they were order'd by the holy spirit not to preach the gospel in Asia:

1062

O foolish Galatians, who hath deluded you, you that have had the crucifixion of Jesus Christ represented to your view?

1063

but the ruler of the synagogue being highly incensed at Jesus's healing on the sabbath-day, said to the people, there are six days for work, you should come therefore for cure on those days, and not on the sabbath.

1066

thus it is written, and thus it behov'd Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

1067

JOHN to the seven churches which are in Asia: favour and peace be with you from him WHO IS, WHO WAS, WHO WILL BE; and from the seven spirits who are before his throne;

1070

and he will shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.

1071

When they were arrived there, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, Simon the Zelot, and Judas the brother of James used to resort,

1072

Then a person of distinction ask'd him this question, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

1081

Then I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns; upon his horns were ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

1082

so we took our places, and convers'd with the women, that came there. one of them was nam'd Lydia of Thyatira, a trader in purple, and a Jewish proselyte. she heard us: and the Lord inclin'd her heart to attend to what Paul said.

1087

knowing that I must soon leave this tabernacle, as our Lord Jesus Christ has signify'd to me.

1091

The day following, he went into a city called Nain, accompanied by many of his disciples, and a great crowd of people.

1092

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every one may be silenc'd, and all the world plead guilty before God.

1099

which being done, they enclosed such a multitude of fish, the net began to break:

1101

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.

1103

Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.

1105

Therefore we ought to give the greater attention to the things we have heard, for fear we should abandon the gospel.

1107

a man is instigated, and drawn into the snare by his own vicious passions, which once indulg'd, are productive of sin,

1110

or instead of a fish, would he give him a serpent?

1111

PETER an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners dispers'd thro' Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, whom God the father has chosen in pursuance of his decree,

1112

Ezekias the father of Manasses, Manasses the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josias.

1113

"how then are we better than they?" why, not at all: for we have already convicted both Jews and Gentiles, of being all under the guilt of sin.

1116

now this inscription was read by many of the Jews: for Jesus was crucified nigh the city: and it was written in Syriac, Greek, and Latin.

1117

then saith he to the man, stretch out thy hand: and be stretched it out; and it was made as sound as the other.

1118

when the Gentiles heard this, they received the word with joy, glorifying the Lord: and as many as were dispos'd to eternal life, believed.

1119

But Zacharias said to the angel, by what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is of a great age.

1120

what we have seen and heard, we declare unto you, that ye also may be of the same society with us: and truly associated with the father, and with his son Jesus Christ.

1122

what does it say "more? the word is nigh thee, let it be in thy mouth and in thy heart:" that is the word of faith which we preach.

1129

After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, in private to the top of a high mountain.

1130

to which Jesus answered, a certain man, as he was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, fell among thieves, who stripp'd him, and beat him, then march'd off leaving him half dead.

1131

At that time the disciples being assembled, to the number of about an hundred and twenty, Peter rose up in the midst of them,

1133

And when he was upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him in private, and said, tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of this age?

1136

for I am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command: I bid this man, go, and he's gone: another, come, and he's here: and to my servant, do this, and it is done.

1145

mankind impatiently desire that the divine being would display himself to his creatures,

1147

the hireling flies, because he is an hireling, and is under no concern for the sheep.

1148

but the angel said to them, be not afraid, I am only come to bring you great news, which will be matter of joy to you and to the whole world.

1150

for I know when I am gone, you will be oppress'd by wolves, that will not spare the flock.

1157

you shall be now pregnant, and be delivered of a son, whom you shall name JESUS.

1158

Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the time is coming when it shall be neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem that ye shall worship the father.

1161

Now concerning those who are spiritual, my brethren, I would not have you be mistaken.

1163

When they had been eating, Jesus took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to them, and said, take it, this represents my body.

1166

After this he went down to Capernaum, in company with his mother, his brethren, and his disciples: but they stay'd there only a few days.

1167

Soon after this, Mary departed, and made an expeditious journey to a city of Juda, in the mountains:

1168

Now after the Lord had convers'd with them, he was assum'd up to heaven, where he sat on the right hand of God.

1173

One day they conducted him to the Areopagus, and said to him, may we know what this new doctrine is, which you publish?

1174

by the destructive sword shall they fall, and be led into captivity among all nations: and Jerusalem shall be kept waste by the nations, as long as those nations shall subsist.

1178

At length the feast of the dedication was kept at Jerusalem, when the weather happen'd to be foul.

1179

In the mean time the mother of Jesus, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, were standing by the cross.

1182

While Paul was expecting them at Athens, he was grieved to the soul to see the whole city o'er-spread with idols.

1183

then shall that sign, the son of man in the clouds of heaven, appear: and all the tribes of the land shall mourn, and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

1185

After this discourse, Jesus pursued his journey towards Jerusalem.

1187

he said therefore to them, when ye pray, say, "our father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come. thy will be done, on earth, as in heaven.

1190

some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it soon sprang up, for want of a sufficient depth of earth.

1191

at which he look'd very attentively, expecting to receive something of them.
