But they going forth, blazoned his fame through all that country. And when they were coming out, behold, they brought unto him a man, dumb, a demoniac. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Never at any time was the like to this seen in Israel.

and, behold a man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on sabbath days? that they might accuse him. Then he said to them; What man of you is there who hath one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, doth he not lay hold on him, and lift him out? read more. Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days. Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored, sound as the other.

Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.

But when evening was come, his disciples came unto him, saying, The place is desert, and the day is far advanced; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves provisions. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart: give ye them to eat. read more. And they said unto him, We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes. Then he said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up the superabundance of the fragments, twelve baskets full. And they who had eaten, were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

But the vessel was already in the midst of the sea, tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary. Then at the fourth watch of the night came Jesus unto them, walking on the sea. read more. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were greatly agitated, saying, It is his apparition. And they cried out with terror. And immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, Be of good courage: it is I; be not terrified. Then Peter answering, said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And descending from the vessel, Peter walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. But seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink in the deep, he cried out, saying, Lord save me. Then immediately Jesus stretching out his hand, laid hold on him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, wherefore dost thou doubt? And when they came aboard the vessel, the wind ceased. And they who were in the vessel, came and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

And going forth thence, Jesus retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac. read more. But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us. But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me! But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road. And his disciples said unto him, Whence can we in the wilderness have loaves enough to satisfy the cravings of so great a multitude? read more. And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and took up a superabundance of fragments seven baskets full. And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water. read more. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they have not been able to cure him. Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.

And when they came to Capernaum, they who receive the tax of two drachmas came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth receive customs and tax? from their own children, or from aliens? read more. Peter saith to him, From aliens. Jesus saith unto him, In that case then the children are free. But that we give them no offence, go unto the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish which cometh up; and on opening his mouth, thou wilt find a stater, that take and give them for me and thee.

And, behold, two blind men sat by the road side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David! And the multitude checked them, that they should be silent; but they cried out the more, Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David. read more. And Jesus standing called them, and said, What desire ye, that I should do for you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes recovered sight, and they followed him.

Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry: and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away. read more. And when his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away! But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. read more. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him? And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.

But Simon's wife's mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her. And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.

And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed. read more. And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed. And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away; and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.

And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four: and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay. read more. Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but the one God? And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts? Which is the easier thing, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and take up thy couch, and walk away? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic, I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.

And sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him. And a great hurricane arose, and the waves broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water: read more. and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing? And rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea, Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, and there was a great calm. And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? How is it that ye have not confidence? And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit, read more. coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains; for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him: and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment. (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.) And he interrogated him, What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are many. And he entreated him much that he would not send them out of the country. And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the mountain: and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid. And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine. And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts. And when he embarked on board the vessel, the demoniac besought him, that he might go with him. But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live. read more. And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him. And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years,

And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years, and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse;

and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse; when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment:

when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover.

for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover. And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease.

And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease. And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments?

And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round to see her who had done this.

And he looked round to see her who had done this. Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease.

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease. And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the master any further? read more. But Jesus, instantly hearing the account given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James. And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out. And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise! And immediately the damsel arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast astonishment. And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.

And when great part of the day was already gone, his disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and much of the day is already gone: send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. read more. But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

And when the evening was come, the vessel was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land. And he saw them greatly fatigued with rowing, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and seemed intending to pass by them. read more. But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and screamed out: for they all saw him, and were greatly agitated: and straitway he spoke to them, and said, Take courage, it is I, be not terrified. And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder.

running through all parts of that country, they began to carry about on couches those who were afflicted with diseases, wherever they heard that he was. And wherever they entered into villages or cities, or country places, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if but the fringe on his garment; and as many as touched it, were cured.

And rising, he departed thence into the confines of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, desired that no man should know it: yet he could not be hid. For a woman hearing of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came and fell at his feet. read more. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by birth, and she entreated him that the devil might be cast out of her daughter. And Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be fed, for it is not proper to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs. But she replied, and said to him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. And he said unto her, For this speech, go home, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch. And again departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring him a deaf man, who could scarcely articulate; and they entreat him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside out of the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto him, Ephphatha! that is, Be opened. And instantly his ears were opened, and the tie of his tongue loosed, and he spake distinctly. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad. And they were astonished beyond all imagination, saying, He hath done all things admirably; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and entreat him that he would touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him without the city; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw aught. read more. And looking up, he said, I see men walking, as trees. Then again he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look up again: and he was entirely restored, and saw all men distinctly. And he sent him away unto his own house, saying, Neither enter thou into the city, nor speak to any in the city.

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them. And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him. read more. And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves? And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable. Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief! Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.

And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus, the blind, the son of Timeus, sat by the road-side begging: and hearing that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, and say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me! read more. And many chid him, that he should be silent: but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me! And Jesus stood still, and ordered him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up, arise; he calleth thee. Then casting off his cloak, he arose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus addressing him, said, What dost thou wish that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight! Then said Jesus unto him, Go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

And on the morrow, as they were coming out of Bethany, he was hungry: and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he went to it, expecting probably that he might find some fruit upon it: and when he came to it, he found none, only leaves: for it was not a [good] season for figs. read more. And Jesus spake and said to it, Let no man eat fruit from thee henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard him. And they came to Jerusalem and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves; and would not suffer that any person should carry a vessel through the temple. And he taught them, saying, Is it not written, that "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?" but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard him, and sought how they might destroy him: for they were afraid of him, because all the people were exceedingly struck with his teaching, And when the evening came, he went away out of the city. And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots. And Peter reminding him said, Rabbi, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering said to them, Have faith in God. For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him. Therefore I say unto you, That all things whatever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be given you.

He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow those that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; read more. they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly potion, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover health.

And there was in the synagogue a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he roared out with a great cry, saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. read more. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury. And amazement seized on all present, and they spake one to another, saying, What a word is this? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. And the fame of him went forth into all the adjacent region. Then rising up out of the synagogue, he came into the house of Simon: and Simon's mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and they besought him on her behalf. And standing over her, he charged the fever [to depart]; and it left her: and immediately she arose, and waited upon them.

AND it came to pass, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret: and he saw two vessels a-ground near the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and washing their nets. read more. Then he went on board one of the vessels, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little from the land: and sitting down, he taught the multitudes out of the vessel. And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Go off into deep water, and shoot your nets for a draught. And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net. And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes; and their net was broken. And they made signals to their partners in the other vessels, that they should come to their assistance. And they came, and filled both the vessels, so that they were ready to founder. Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord! For amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken: as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their vessels on shore, they left all, and followed him. And it came to pass as he was just at one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy! and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he stretching out his hand touched him, saying, I will: be thou cleansed. And instantly the leprosy departed from him. And he commanded him to tell no man: but go shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, as Moses enjoined, for a testimony unto them. Now the discourse concerning him more and more spread through the country: and vast multitudes came together to hear him, and to be cured by him of their disorders.

And behold, men carried on a couch a man who was a paralytic; and sought to bring him into the house, and to place him before him. And not discovering by what means they could introduce him, because of the crowd, they went up to the roof, and through the tiling let him down with his little couch into the midst, before Jesus. read more. And seeing their faith, he saith to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone? And Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts? for which is the easier? to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the paralytic,) I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. And instantly he rose up before them, took up that on which he had lain, and went away to his house, giving glory to God. And an extacy of admiration seized upon them all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with awe, saying, We have seen wondrously strange things to-day.

And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was shrunk. Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him. read more. Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up. Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it? And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other. But they were filled with madness, and talked earnestly to each other what they could do to Jesus.

NOW after he had finished all these sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die. read more. But when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, entreating him that he would come and preserve the life of his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour: for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured. For I also am a man under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel. And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health. And it came to pass the next day, that he went into a city called Nain; and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, and a vast multitude. And as he drew near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carrying out, an only son to his mother, and she a widow; and a great concourse of the city was with her. And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said unto her, Weep not. And approaching, he touched the bier: and the bearers stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise. And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother. And fear fell on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and that God hath looked down with mercy on his people. And this account respecting him went abroad through all Judea, and all the region adjacent.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail. And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger. read more. Then they came and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then arising, he issued his command to the wind, and the billows of water, and they subsided, and there was a calm. And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him. And they sailed over unto the region of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs. But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not. For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for many times it had seized on him; and though under a guard, and bound with chains and fetters; yet bursting the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the desert places. Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him. And he besought him that he would not order them to go into the abyss. Now a herd of many swine was there feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them. Then the devils going out of the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and was suffocated. But when those who fed them saw what was done they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country places. And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them. And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned. And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thy house, and declare what things God hath done for thee. And he went away, and published through the whole city what things Jesus had done for him.

And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him. read more. And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;

And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any; coming behind him, touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood stopped.

coming behind him, touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood stopped. And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me? Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.

Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me. Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously.

Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously. Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace. And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble. read more. Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved. And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child. Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead. And he put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid, arise! And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded to give her something to eat. And her parents were struck with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.

Now the day began to decline: and the twelve coming to him, said, Dismiss the multitude, that going away into the villages and farms round about, they may lodge and find provision; for here we are in a desert place. Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude: read more. for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies. And they did so: and they made them all sit down. And taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled; and there were taken up of the fragments which were more than enough for them, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. And, behold, a man from among the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon my son; for he is my only begotten. read more. And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him. And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not. Then Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy son. And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the child; and restored him to his father.

And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spake, and the people marvelled.

And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and unable to raise herself at all up. But when Jesus saw her, he called out aloud, and said to her, Woman, thou art delivered from thine infirmity. read more. And he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she became erect, and glorified God. Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not every one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him to water? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day? And when he had made this speech, all his opposers were covered with shame: and all the multitude rejoiced in all the glorious things which were done by him.

And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he was entering a certain village, ten leprous men met him, who stood at a distance: read more. and they lift up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean. Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God, and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien. And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.

And it came to pass, as he drew nigh to Jerusalem, a certain blind man sat by the road-side begging: and hearing the multitude passing by, he inquired what was the cause. read more. And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarean is going by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me! And they who were going before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me! Then Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near, he asked him, saying, What wist thou that I should do for thee? Then he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And instantly he received sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

And one of them struck at a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Then Jesus, addressing them, said, Permit me thus far: and touching his ear, he healed him.

AND on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: So Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage. read more. And the wine being exhausted, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no more wine. Jesus saith unto her, What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come. His mother saith to the waiters, Whatsoever he orders you, do it. Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each. Jesus saith to them, Fill these jars with water. And they filled them to the brim. And he said unto them, Draw out now, and carry to the president of the table. So they carried it. And when the president of the table had tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it came: (but the waiters knew, who drew the water;) the president of the table called the bridegroom, and saith to him, Every man at first produces the good wine; and after men have drunk plentifully, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept back the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death. read more. Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe. The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead. Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home. And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered! Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him. Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family. This is again a second miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee.

Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. read more. Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many? Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten. When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.

So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the sea-side, and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. read more. And the sea was greatly agitated by a tempestuous wind that blew. Having rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the vessel, and they were affrighted. But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going.

Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days. read more. Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth! And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go!

AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner: Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together. read more. Simon Peter said to them, I am going a-fishing. They say to him, We too will go with thee. They went out, and got on board the vessel immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus. Then saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They answered him, No. Then he said to them, Shoot the net on the right side of the vessel, and ye shall find fish. They shot it therefore, and now they were not able to drag it in from the quantity of fishes. Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in the little vessel, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with the fishes. When therefore they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and a fish upon it, and a loaf. Jesus saith to them, Bring some of the fish which ye have just caught. Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land full of large fishes, to the number of a hundred and fifty-three: and though they were so many, yet was not the net rent. Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord. Then Jesus cometh, and taketh the loaf, and distributed to them, and of the fish in like manner. Now this was the third time Jesus had shewed himself to the disciples, after he rose from the dead.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:

But a certain man, named Simon, lived previously in that city, who practised magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria, giving out himself as an extraordinary great personage:

Now as they travelled through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain person who professed magic, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God. read more. But Elymas the magician (for such is his name when interpreted) opposed them, seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

And many of those who practised magical arts brought the books, and burned them before all men; and they calculated the prices of them, and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver.

The signs indeed of an apostle have been wrought among you in all patience, in miracles, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles,

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is my sign in every letter: so I write.

And he performeth great signs, so that he even causeth fire to come down from heaven to the earth, in the sight of men, and deceiveth the inhabitants of the earth by the signs, which he is enabled to perform before the beast, saying to the dwellers upon the earth, that they should make an image for the beast who had the stroke of the sword, and survived.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see. The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family, divided against itself cannot subsist: read more. so if Satan cast out Satan; he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist?

Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth. From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. read more. If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.

Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles. If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
