The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a multitude of people happen'd to meet him:

At length the seventy return'd with great joy, saying, Lord, even the demons have been made subject to us by virtue of your name.

and he within should give this answer, don't trouble me now: the door is made fast, and my family are all in bed: I can't get up to supply you.

do you stupidly imagine that he, who made the outward man, did not make the inward too?

and draw something from his own mouth, that might be brought as evidence against him.

for there is nothing conceal'd, which shall not be disclos'd; nothing secret, which shall not be made publick.

but Jesus answer'd him, who made me a judge, or an arbitrator between you?

the life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

to which he made answer, sir, let it alone one year longer, till I shall dig about it, and dung it.

Jesus therefore addressing himself to the doctors of the law, and to the Pharisees, said, is it allowable to perform a cure on the sabbath-day? to which they made no answer.

upon which Jesus said, a certain man made a great entertainment; where many were invited.

for fear he should be made the jest of every spectator, for laying the foundation, without being able to carry it on.

and as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten lepers, who stood at a distance, and cry'd out aloud,

upon his return, being confirm'd king, he order'd the servants, he had trusted with the money, to appear, and inform him, what improvement each of them had made.

he answer'd, honest servant, that's well: since your industry has made so much of so little, I give you the government of ten cities.

he answered, when you are in the city, you will meet a man with a pitcher of water; follow him to the house, where he goes in:

so they went, and having found every thing as Jesus had said, they made ready the passover.

now as they had made a fire in the middle of the hall, and people were sitting all round it, Peter too sat down among them.

they made him blind-fold, they slapt him on the face, and cry'd out, divine who it was that smote thee.

but Jesus made him no answer, tho' the chief priests and Scribes maintain'd their charge with vehemence.

for I referr'd you to him, and you see nothing that is capital, has been made out against him.

all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made.

he came as a witness, to represent what he knew of the light, that by his means all might be convinc'd.

he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

upon which he made a whip of small cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with their sheep, and oxen; and threw about the changers money, and over-set the tables; and said to the dove-sellers,

for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

but he that doth right, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, because they are agreeable to the will of God.

but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven.

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

but he answered them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of:

Jesus said to them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

for my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

for what do ye attempt to kill me? the people answered, saying, you are mad: who attempts to kill you?

they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

they answered him, we are Abraham's offspring, and were never slaves to any man: why then do you say, "ye shall be made free?"

The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad?

Jesus answered, I am not mad; but I honour my father, and you dishonour me.

it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him.

having said this, he spit on the ground, which by means of his saliva he made into clay, wherewith he anointed the eyes of the blind man,

he answered, a man call'd Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: I went, and washed, and so I saw.

now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight.

they therefore question'd the blind man again, what do you say of the man that made you see? he is a prophet, said he.

Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary stay'd at home.

for Jesus was not yet arrived in the town, but staid at the place were Martha met him.

and went to meet him, crying, "Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord."

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, might not abide in darkness.

for I have given you example, that you might behave to one another, as I have to you.

Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have made it. and when he had made the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat.

these things I have appriz'd you of, that ye might repose your confidence in me. the world shall give you trouble: but take courage, I have overcome the world.

when they heard that, they entred into the temple early in the morning, and taught. in the mean time, the high priest, and those of his party, being arrived at the council-chamber, summon'd all the Jewish senate to meet, and sent to the prison to bring the apostles before them.
