said he, how you take the least notice of this to any man: but go, show your self to the priest, and offer for your cure what Moses commanded, that this may serve as a testimony against them.

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.

but there were certain of the Scribes sitting there, who were dissatisfied in their own minds, and said to themselves,

why doth this man speak such blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?

is it not as easy to say to the paralytic, thy sins are forgiven: as to say, arise, and take up your bed and walk?

'tis I command you, take up thy bed, and go to your home.

instantly he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw any thing like this.

Jesus hearing this, said to them, they that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

but the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast.

how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards high-priest, and did eat the shew-bread, giving some of it likewise to the company, though the law allow'd no body to eat of it but the priests.

but calling them to him, he said by way of similitude, how can satan dispossess satan?

so if satan rise up in opposition to his own interest, his power cannot subsist, but must entirely cease.

but he that shall blaspheme against the holy Ghost, shall never be pardoned, but shall be obnoxious to eternal punishment.

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.

but when the sun was up, it was scorched, and for want of root, withered away.

but part of it fell on good ground, which sprang up, and grew so fruitful, that some grains produced thirty, others sixty, and some an hundred.

he answered, you are admitted into the secret of the gospel-dispensation: but to unbelievers every thing is couch'd in parables; because,

but if, said he, you don't comprehend this easy parable, how can ye understand any of the rest?

they who receiv'd seed by the wayside, are those in whom the word is sown, who no sooner have heard it, but satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

but having no root at the bottom, they are only occasional professors, for if they meet with any trouble or persecution upon account of the word, immediately they revolt.

Again he said, is a lamp ever brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? or to be set on a stand?

for there is nothing conceal'd but what shall be made manifest: nor was any thing kept secret, but in order to be divulged.

but as soon as the fruit is ripe, the sickle is applied, because the harvest is come.

but after it is sown, it grows up, and becometh larger than other plants of the pulse kind, and shooteth out its branches so high, that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shadow.

his stile in publick was figurative, but he explain'd every thing to his disciples in private.

at length a violent storm ensued, and the waves beat into the ship, that it began to fill,

but the people saw them embark, and many perceiving where they were bound, they ran thither a foot from all parts: and arrived at the place, before the passengers were come.

but as the day was far advanc'd, his disciples came to him, and said, this is a desart place, and it is now late.

for they all saw him, and were greatly terrified. but at the instant Jesus spoke to them, and said, take courage, it is I, don't be afraid.

no sooner were they ashore, but the people, who presently perceiv'd it was Jesus,

and to whatever cities, towns, or villages he went, they expos'd the sick in the publick streets, entreating him, they might but touch the border of his garment; for as many as did so, were recover'd.

Jesus answered, to such hypocrites as you may well be applied those words of the prophet Esaias, "this people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Moses said, "honour thy father and thy mother;" and, if any one speak contemptibly of his father, or his mother, let him be put to death.

but your doctrine is this, if any one shall tell his father or his mother, that what he could bestow for their relief, is corban, that is, to be given to the temple;

there is nothing from without, that entring into a man can defile him: but that which originally proceeds from the man, is what defiles him.

because that does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, whence it is discharg'd, the purest part of the food being left for nutrition.

but, said he, that which proceeds from a man, is what defiles him:

Jesus leaving that place, went towards the frontiers of Tyre and Sidon; and entring into a house, desired to let nobody know it; but he could not be conceal'd.

accordingly she went home, where she found that the demon was indeed gone out of her daughter, and she was lying on the bed.

At length he began to inform them, that the son of man should suffer many indignities, be rejected by the chief priests, Scribes, and senators, be even put to death, and after three days should rise again.

but Jesus return'd, and looking upon his disciples, he gave Peter this rebuke, be gone, thou adversary, your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.

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

but I tell you, that Elias is already come, as it was foretold; and they have treated him at their discretion.

which no sooner comes on him, but it throws him down: then the child foams, gnashes his teeth, and grows meager.

Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe.

but Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up, and he was perfectly recovered.

Jesus answered, such a miracle is not effected but by prayer and fasting.

in the mean time he gave his disciples this intimation, "the son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, who will put him to death, and three days after he is put to death he shall rise again."

but Jesus answered them, it was out of regard to your untractable temper, that Moses gave you this permission.

Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? there is but one, who is good, that is God.

but he was troubled at this answer, and went away very sorrowful, for he had a great estate.

at this expression the disciples were much surpriz'd. but Jesus reassum'd the discourse, and said, how difficult a thing is it for those, who place their trust in riches, to enter into the divine kingdom?

but Jesus casting his eye upon them, said, what is impossible to men, is not so to God; for to God all things are possible.

but shall receive at present in this age, what will be a hundred times better to him, than houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, tho' with persecution: and in the age to come eternal life.

but they that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
