And there came a voice from heaven, "Thou art my dear son, in whom I delight."

saying, "Let me be: what have we to do with thou, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, what thou art, thou art even that holy man promised of God."

And anon many gathered together, insomuch that now there was no room to receive them: no, not so much as about the door. And he preached the word unto them.

And when the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him, and cried saying, "Thou art the son of God."

The sower, soweth the word.

And they that are by the wayside, where the word is sown, are they to whom as soon as they have heard it, cometh immediately Satan and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And likewise, they that are sown on the stony ground: which when they have heard the word, at once they receive it with gladness;

yet have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: and anon, as soon as any trouble and persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they fall.

And these are they that are sown among the thorns; which are such as hear the word of God,

and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is made unfruitful.

And those that were sown in good ground, are they that hear the word and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold some sixty fold, some a hundred fold."

And with many such similitudes he preached the word unto them, after as they might hear it.

As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe."

making the word of God of none effect through your own traditions which ye have ordained. And many such things ye do."

And they answered, "Some say that thou art John Baptist: some, say Elijah, and some, one of the prophets."

And he said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter answered and said unto him, "Thou art very Christ."

And he said unto them, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, breaketh wedlock to her-ward.

And as soon as they were come, they said unto him, "Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." And no man after that durst ask him any question.

And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?"

And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face.

And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto."

And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

And Pilate asked him, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" And he answered, and said unto him, "Thou sayest it."

Jesus yet answered never a word, so that Pilate marveled.

And they went forth, and preached everywhere. And the Lord wrought with them; And confirmed the word with miracles that followed.
