and as soon as he was got out of the water, he saw the heavens open, and the spirit lighting upon him, like a dove.

presently after the spirit convey'd him into the desart.

and when the unclean spirit had thrown him into convulsions, with a loud cry, he came out of him.

upon this his fame immediately spread abroad over all the region of Galilee.

and immediately Jesus perceiving by his spirit, that they made these secret reflections, said, why do you entertain such suggestions?

this was in answer to their saying, he was influenc'd by an impure spirit.

(for Jesus had said to him, "come out of the man, thou impure spirit.")

for a woman, whose child was possess'd with an impure spirit, having heard of him, found him out, and throwing herself at his feet,

and one of the crowd answer'd, master, I have brought to you my son, who is possess'd with a dumb spirit,

so he was brought to him, and as soon as he saw him, the spirit threw him into convulsions, and he fell upon the ground, where he wallowed foaming.

Jesus observing the people came crowding to him, rebuked the evil spirit, saying, thou dumb and deaf spirit come out of the child, never to enter more, it is I command it.

and the spirit came out of him, having made him roar, and thrown him into such agonies, that he became like one that was dead, and many were of opinion he actually was so.

now when Jesus was retired to his own house, his disciples asked him in private, why could not we cast this spirit out?

many spread their clothes in the way, others lopt down the branches of trees to strew them in the road.

for David himself, who was inspired by the holy spirit, has this expression, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy foot-stool."

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.
