In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.

The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, "We never saw anything like this."

And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed Him.

Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.

But He rose to life early on the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had expelled seven demons.
