Some time after he returned to Capernaum; upon the rumour that he was there,

for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him.

After this they went into an house, and the crowd press'd again upon them, so as to hinder them from taking their meal.

some of the seed happened to fall by the wayside, which the birds light upon, and devoured.

whilst Jesus was at the stern, asleep on a pillow: upon which they awak'd him, crying out, master, have you so little concern to let us sink? then he rose,

Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."

when the sabbath was come, he preach'd in the synagogue, to the great astonishment of many, who upon hearing his discourse, said, how came he by all this? what strange endowment of knowledge is this, that he should work such miracles?

then they departed, and call'd upon all to repent.

upon which John told him, "it is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

because Herod had a respect for John, knowing him to be a very honest good man, and therefore protected him; having reform'd many things upon his remonstrances, which he us'd to receive very graciously.

however, a favourable opportunity happen'd for her, upon Herod's making an entertainment the birth-night, for all the great officers of the court, and army, and persons of the first distinction in Galilee.

when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition,

then looking up to heaven, with a sigh, he said, Ephphata, that is, be open:

then taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of town, when applying his spittle to the man's eyes, and laying his hands upon him, he ask'd if he saw any thing.

then he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look again. and his sight was so well recovered, he could see distinctly.

upon which he gave them a severe charge, not to say that of him to any man.

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.

whoever receives such a child as this upon my account, receives me; and he that receiveth me, does not so properly receive me, as the commands of him that sent me.

Upon this occasion John address'd himself to Jesus, saying, master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, tho' he did not belong to us, for which reason we opposed him.

Then they brought young children to him, that he might lay his hands upon them: but his disciples rebuked those that presented them.

then he embraced them, and laying his hand upon them, he gave them his blessing.

When he was set out upon his journey, there met him one, who kneeling down before him, said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me.

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.

they will treat him with ignominy, subject him to the lash, spit upon him, and at last put him to death. but on the third day he will rise again.

upon which he threw off his loose coat, and went to Jesus;

go to yonder village that faces you, and upon your entrance into it, you will find a colt tied, that never was yet backed; loose him, and bring him to me.

upon which some people there said to them, what do you mean by untying the colt?

then they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments upon it, he mounted thereon.

and observing at a distance a fig-tree full of leaves, he went up to it to see if he could find any fruit upon it. but when he came to it, he found it had nothing but leaves, (for it was not the season for that sort of fig.)

the Scribes and Pharisees upon hearing this consulted together how to destroy him; but they stood in awe of him, because all the people were strangely affected with his doctrine.

but Jesus replied, and said to them, rely upon God.

and when he was sitting upon the mount of Olives over-against the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew said to him in private, tell us,

Jesus answer'd by saying, take care not to let any one impose upon you;

these are the beginning of sorrows. then look to your selves: for they will deliver you up to the tribunals, and scourge you in the synagogues: you will be brought before governours, and princes upon my account, to be my witnesses against them.

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.

you will be the object of universal hatred upon my account; but he that shall persevere unto the end, shall be saved.

now being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, there came a woman with a viol full of the perfume of spikenard, which was very costly; and she opened the viol, and poured it upon his head.

they were glad to hear him, and promis'd to give him money. upon which he contriv'd the most favourable occasion to betray him.

upon which he dispatch'd two of his disciples, and said to them: go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

and Jesus said to them, this night you will all be staggered upon my account: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."

I was daily among you, teaching in the temple, and you did not then seize upon me. but the scriptures are thereby accomplished.

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him, and said, you too was with Jesus the Nazarene.

and they put on him a purple cloth, and set a wreath of thorns upon his head for a crown;

and they struck him on the head with a cane, spit upon him, and bowing their knees, made a show of reverence.

some there present upon hearing that, said: observe, he calls upon Elias.

one Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who was himself in expectation of the kingdom of God, ventur'd to come and wait upon Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
