then taking her hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, that is to say, damsel, arise, 'tis I command you.

but he strictly charged them not to mention it to any one, and order'd something should be given her to eat.

is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, of Juda and Simon? are not these his sisters, who are here with us? and they were scandalized at him.

wherever they shall refuse to entertain you, or to hear you, at your departure shake off the dust of your feet, as a testimonial against them. I assure you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall be treated with less severity in the day of judgment, than that city.

however, a favourable opportunity happen'd for her, upon Herod's making an entertainment the birth-night, for all the great officers of the court, and army, and persons of the first distinction in Galilee.

for Herodias made her appearance there, and danc'd with such an engaging air in the eye of Herod, as well as of all the company, that the king thus addrest himself to the young lady, "ask of me whatever you please, and it shall be granted."

then she withdrew, and said to her mother, what shall I ask? the head of John the Baptist, said she.

at this the king was exceedingly concern'd; however, in regard to his oath, and to those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her;

accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the prison, and bringing the head in a charger, he presented it to the young lady, who gave it to her mother:

he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

entreated him to force the demon out of her daughter; now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation.

Jesus therefore said to her, let the children first be satisfy'd; for it would not be decent to take the children's bread, and throw it to puppys.

then said Jesus to her, for this expression, go thy way, the demon has left your daughter.

accordingly she went home, where she found that the demon was indeed gone out of her daughter, and she was lying on the bed.

his disciples answer'd, how is it possible here in the desart to furnish bread enough for all this company?

have you eyes, and yet don't see? have you ears, and yet not hear? have you lost your memory too?

I declare unto you, said he, that some of you here present shall not die, till they see the kingdom of the Messiah usher'd in with power.

then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, master, it is proper for us to be here: let us make therefore three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias.

then a cloud surrounded them, and a voice from the cloud, said, "this is my beloved son, hear him."

Moses, said they, allowed a bill of divorce, and so to dismiss her.

whoever repudiates his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her:

and if a woman quits her husband and is married to another, she committeth adultery.

but these husbandmen said to one another, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.

now there were seven brothers: the first married a wife and died, leaving her without any children.

the second married her, and he died too without leaving her any children: the third did the same.

so that all the seven married her, but left no children. last of all she died.

for they all married her. Jesus answered them, don't you see you are in a mistake, by being unacquainted with the scriptures, as well as with the power of God?

Jesus answer'd him, the first of all the commandments is thus deliver'd, "hear, o Israel, the lord our God is the only lord.

for all the rest contributed out of their superfluous substance; but she has contributed what she wanted for her bare subsistence.

As Jesus was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, see, master, what stone-work, and buildings are here.

but when ye shall hear the talk of wars, and the noise of wars, be not alarm'd; for that must happen; but the end is not yet.

Then if any one shall say to you, Christ is here, or, he is there, don't believe it.

as to the day and hour, that no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor even the son; but the father only.

for we could have sold it for above two hundred denarys, and given them to the poor: and they inveighed against her.

but Jesus said, let her alone, why do you disquiet her? it is commendable, what she has done out of respect to me.

I declare unto you, in whatever quarter of the world this part of the gospel-history shall be related, this action of hers shall be mention'd to her praise.

they were glad to hear him, and promis'd to give him money. upon which he contriv'd the most favourable occasion to betray him.

At length they came to a place call'd Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, stay here, whilst I shall be at prayer.

even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

Then he return'd, and having found them sleeping, he said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? could you not watch one hour?

Pilate spake to him again, and said, will you make no defence for your self? don't you hear what they urge against you?

now it was the third hour of the day, when they crucified him,

Now from the sixth hour the whole land was cover'd with darkness until the ninth hour.

and at the ninth hour Jesus cry'd out with a loud voice, saying, ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTANI, that is, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?

but he said to them, don't be frightned: you look for Jesus the Nazarene: he is risen, he is not here: see the place where he lay.

but though they heard that he was alive, and had appear'd to her, they did not believe.

the angel, upon his arrival, said to her; "Hail, favorite of heaven, the Lord is with thee: thou happiest of thy sex."

but the angel said to her, "Mary, be not afraid: for you are the object of divine favour.

the angel answered her, "the holy spirit shall descend upon thee, and the power of the most high shall over-shadow thee: wherefore thy holy offspring shall be called the son of God.

even your cousin Elizabeth, as old as she is, is become pregnant with a son: she, who was stiled barren, is now in her sixth month;

no sooner had Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, but the babe leap'd within her:

Now Mary stay'd about three months with Elizabeth, and then return'd to her own house.

When Elizabeth had gone her full time, she was delivered of a son.

her neighbours and her relations having heard how the Lord had heap'd his favours upon her, they congratulated with her:

they answered her, there is not any of your family of that name.

now while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.

and being brought to bed of her first born, she swathed him, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

but Mary considered these things very attentively, and weigh'd every circumstance in her mind, while the shepherds return'd,

Joseph and the mother of Jesus were surprized to hear such things pronounc'd concerning him.

and happening to come in just at the same time, she likewise express'd her thanks to the lord, and spoke of Jesus to all those, who expected deliverance in Jerusalem.

However Jesus went down with them to Nazareth, and was subject to them: and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

upon which he said, no doubt you will urge me with this proverb, "physician heal thy self. what we have heard you perform'd in Capernaum, do likewise here in your own country."

When Jesus came out of the synagogue, he went to Simon's house, whose mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and they desired him to relieve her.

so approaching near her, he order'd the fever to leave her, and it left her. upon which she immediately arose, and waited upon them at table.

One day, as the people press'd after him to hear his divine preaching, he came near the lake of Gennesereth,

in the mean time his fame spread so much the more, and a vast multitude flock'd to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases,

At length he came down the hill with them, and stayed with the rest of his disciples in the plain, where a great multitude of people from all Judea, from Jerusalem, and the maritime country of Tyre and Sidon, came to hear him, and to have their diseases cured.

But as for you, who hear me, love your enemies: do good to those, who hate you: bless those, who curse you:

as he drew near the gate of the city, there was a dead man just then carrying out to be buried, who was his mother's only son, and she a widow: and many people of the town came with her.

when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, don't weep.

then he gave them this answer, go, and tell John what you have seen, and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the gospel is proclaim'd to the poor.

"but wisdom is justified by all her different followers."

and stood behind at his feet weeping, bath'd them with her tears, wiped them with her hair, kissed his feet, and poured the perfume upon them.

in answer to his doubts, Jesus said, Simon, I have something to say to you. master, said he, lets hear it.

and turning to the woman, he said to Simon, do you observe this woman? though I am a guest in your house, you never offer'd me any water for my feet: but she has bath'd my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

you did not bestow any oil upon my head; but she has poured her rich perfume upon my feet.

wherefore, I tell you, her sins, which are numerous, are forgiven; and that is the reason of all this love: but his love is less, to whom less is forgiven.

then he said to her, your sins are forgiven.

but some of the corn fell into good soil, and grew up, yielding a hundred grains for one. then raising his voice he concluded with these words, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

he answered, the secret circumstances of the divine dispensation may be clearly revealed to you, but to others only in parables, so that they don't observe what they see, nor comprehend what they hear.

by the beaten road is meant, they who only hear: the word, by the lurking wiles of the devil, being hinder'd from taking root in their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

by the stony ground is understood such persons as receive indeed the doctrines they hear, with joy: but for want of resolution, believe only occasionally, and desert when the trial comes.

improve therefore what you hear: for he that improves what he has, shall have more; but he that does not, shall lose even that, which he thinks he possesses.

and among the rest a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, having consum'd her whole fortune upon physicians, who could none of them cure her; she getting behind him,

touched the border of his garment: and immediately her indisposition was removed.

but he said to her, daughter, don't be under any concern: your faith has sav'd you, go in peace.

the company there were all in tears lamenting for her: but he said don't weep; she is not dead, but asleep.

but Jesus oblig'd them to withdraw; then grasping her hand, he said, my child, arise.

immediately she came to life, and rose up: and he order'd, that something should be given her to eat.

and her parents were seized with astonishment: but he charg'd them not to let the fact be known to any one.

As the day began to decline, the twelve came to him, and said, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages for lodging and provisions: for here we are in a desart place.

I declare unto you, there are some here present, who shall not die, till they see the Messiah reign.

who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.

for I assure you, that many prophets and princes have desired to see what you now behold, but they never saw it; and to hear what you have heard, which they never did.

Another time, as they were on a journey, Jesus enter'd into a village, where a woman, named Martha, entertain'd him at her house.

but Martha perplex'd with the hurry of her affairs, came to him, and said, Lord, don't you observe my sister has left me to serve all alone: direct her therefore to give me some assistance.

but Jesus replied to her, Martha, Martha, you trouble yourself about a world of cares:

As he was discoursing thus, a certain woman in the middle of the crowd lift up her voice, and said to him, happy the mother, who bare thee: happy the nurse, who gave thee milk.

but rather, said he, happy are they who hear the word of God, and put it in practice.

the queen of the south shall rise up in the day of judgment against this generation, and condemn it: for she came from the remote parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but now, a greater than Solomon is here.
