forty days, - being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days, - and, when they were concluded, he hungered.

And, making answer unto them, Jesus said - Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him -

How he entered into the house of God, and, the presence-bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests?

And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him - Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.

And they did so, - and made, one and all, recline.

and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, - of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

Simple ones! Did not, he who made the outside, the inside also, make?

Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.

He saith to him - Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, - taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;

And they deliberated together by themselves, saying - If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?

and, taking it before them, he did eat.
