And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;

and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,

and he appointed the twelve (and imposed a name on Simon - ) Peter,

and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the zealot;

And, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down the perfume , upon his head.

And they impress a certain passer-by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, - that he may carry his cross.
