now John was clothed with camels hair, with a leathern girdle about his waist: and his food was locusts and wild honey.

but as soon as he was gone, he began freely to talk of it, and blazed it about every where, so that Jesus could not go publickly into the city any more, but stay'd in the out parts, which were not much frequented, where people came to him from every quarter.

so great a company assembled, that there was no room for them in the house, nor even about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

then he looking with indignation at those about him, being concern'd at their disingenuous perverse temper, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, which he did, and his hand become sound.

from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and the territory about Jordan, a considerable number of the inhabitants about Tyre and Sidon having heard of his great actions, came likewise to meet him.

for the crowd about him, they sent him word to come to them. and when they told him, your mother and brothers and sisters are here without enquiring for you,

He began again to teach by the sea-side: but there was so great a crowd gathered about him, that he was oblig'd to go into a ship, where he sat down, and stay'd on board while the people stood on the shore.

Jesus immediately gave them leave. and the impure spirits quitting the possessed, entred into the swine, and the whole herd, which were about two thousand, ran down a precipice into the sea, and were there stifled.

When Jesus had repassed in the vessel to the other side, a crowd of people gathered about him, while he was nigh the sea.

so Jesus went with him, attended by a great crowd, that press'd about him.

his disciples replied, you see the multitude press about you, and do you ask, who touched you?

however, he looked about to see who it was.

they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.

the company that were entertain'd being about five thousand men.

perceived his disciples had much ado to bear up against the wind, which was contrary; about the fourth watch of the night, he came up, and would have pass'd by them.

for laying aside what is of divine appointment, you stick to their human traditions, about the washing of pots, and cups, and many other the like practices.

said, why do you trouble your heads about your having no bread? are you yet so void of sense, and understanding? are your minds so blinded?

and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them.

When he was come to the other disciples, he found a great crowd about them, and the Pharisees disputing with them.

but they did not comprehend the meaning, and were ashamed to ask him about it.

At length, he arrived at Capernaum, where being in his own house, he asked his disciples, what were you disputing about by the way?

at which they were silent, for upon the road they had disputed about precedency.

but if any one shall cause the meanest of those, who believe in me, to transgress, it had been better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

then Jesus looking round about, said to his disciples, how difficult a thing is it for those who have riches to enter into the gospel kingdom!

As they came near to Jerusalem, about Bethphage and Bethany, by the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them:

Then they entred again into Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the Scribes, and rulers of the Jews came about him,

Then Jesus address'd himself to them in this parabolical manner. a certain person planted a vineyard, made a fence about it, clear'd the way for a wine-press, built a tower, and committed it to the care of vine-dressers, while he was travelling abroad.

in the sequel of the discourse, he said to them, beware of the Scribes, who affect to walk about in their long robes, to be saluted in publick places,

now when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not sollicitous about your defence, don't premeditate upon it; but what shall be suggested to you at the very occasion, that deliver: for it is not you that will plead, but the holy spirit.
