And when those that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:

and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that touched me?

And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place.

And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida.

But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place.

And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?

They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.

And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.

for he that would save his life shall lose it, but he that would lose his life for my sake shall save it.

And I assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

And when the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen.

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.

Whosoever shall receive this little child for my sake, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, shall be great.

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he, that is not against us, is for us.

And it came to pass, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?

But Jesus said unto him, No one, that hath put his hand to the plough and looketh back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And He said unto them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few: pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send out workmen to his harvest.

and heal those in it that are sick, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come unto you.

even the dust that cleaveth to us out of your city we wipe off against you: but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

And I tell you, it shall be more tolerable in that day even for Sodom than for that city.

---He, that heareth you, heareth me; and he, that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he, that rejecteth me, rejecteth Him that sent me.

However rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

At this time Jesus was transported with joy in his spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father, for such was thy good pleasure.

And turning to the disciples, He said to them in particular, Blessed are the eyes that see what ye see:

And by chance a certain priest came down that way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Which now of these three dost thou think was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that took pity on him. Therefore said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou in like manner.

But Martha, being perplexed about much serving, came to Him and said, Lord, dost thou not regard it, that my sister has left me to serve alone? speak to her therefore that she may help me.

And Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say, that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

He, that is not with me, is against me; and he, that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

When an impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders through dry desert places, seeking rest: and finding none he saith, I will return into my house, that I came out of;

Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and so the last state of that man is worse than the first.

As He was speaking these things, a certain woman lifted up her voice from amidst the croud, and said, Happy is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck!

but He replied, Yea rather happy are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.

And when the multitudes were gathering thick together He began to say, This is a wicked generation: they demand a sign, but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:

But yet no one having lighted a candle putteth it into a secret place, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

And when the pharisee saw it he wondered that He did not wash first, before dinner.

Senseless creatures! Did not He who made the outside, make also that which is within? give alms rather according to your ability:

Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye are like graves that do not appear, and those that walk over them are not aware of them.

Thus ye testify that ye approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they put them to death, and ye build their sepulchres.

that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah,

Wo unto you interpreters of the law; for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and those that were entering in, ye hindered.

laying snares for Him, and endeavouring to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse Him.

In the mean time great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,

Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.

But he, that disowneth me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

for the holy Spirit shall teach you at that very time what ye ought to say.

And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.

So is he that heapeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

for all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.

Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come and serve them.

And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:

therefore be ye also ready; for the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.

And the Lord said, Who is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?

Happy is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.

Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and drink, and to be drunken:

the lord of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

And that servant, who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself to do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.

I am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were already kindled?

Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division.

There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?

there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.

But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.

Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?

And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.

And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:

but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in Jerusalem.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.

behold, there was a certain man before Him that had a dropsy.

And He spake a parable to those that were invited, observing how they chose the chief seats, saying unto them,

But when thou art invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, that, when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then wilt thou have honor before them that sit at table with thee:

for whosoever exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

He said also to him that had invited Him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor thy rich neighbors; least they invite thee again, and so a return be made thee.

And one of those; who sat at table with Him, hearing these things, said unto Him, Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

and sent his servant at supper-time to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the high-ways and hedges, and press them to come in, that my house may be filled:

for I tell you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste of my supper.

For who of you that hath a mind to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expence, whether he hath wherewithal to perfect it?
