but they objected, Lord, he has already ten pounds:

"my house is a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves."

the time is coming, said he, when these buildings, which you now view, shall be all thrown down and lost in ruins.

wo to them that are with child, or to them that give suck in those days: for this will be a region of great distress, and wrath will pour down upon this people.

The hour of eating being come, he, and the twelve apostles sat down to table.

he pray'd in these words, father, "O that you would divert this cup from me! nevertheless not my will, but thine be done."

Before he had done speaking, the company appears, Judas one of the twelve marching in front, who advanc'd to Jesus to give him a kiss.

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.

but he renounc'd Jesus, saying, woman, I don't know him.

Peter reply'd, man, I don't know what you would say, and immediately while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

at last Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I don't find any crime in this man.

you have represented this man to me as one that was stirring up the people to a revolt: you see I have examin'd him in your presence; yet I don't find he is guilty of the crimes you have laid to his charge: no, nor even Herod;

however he urg'd it a third time, why, what crime has he done? I don't find he has done any thing that deserves death: I will therefore order him to be whipp'd, and so dismiss him.

As they were conducting him to execution, they seiz'd upon one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming to town, and oblig'd him to carry the cross after Jesus,

and he took it down, and wrapp'd it in linnen, and laid it in a sepulchre, hewn out of a rock, wherein nobody had ever yet been deposited.

yet Peter got up, and ran to the sepulchre, where stooping down he saw nothing but the linnen lying there: upon which he went away wondring with himself at such an event.

though we expected he would have been the Messiah, that was to deliver Israel: and besides all this, it is now three days since these things were done.

After this he went down to Capernaum, in company with his mother, his brethren, and his disciples: but they stay'd there only a few days.

if you don't believe when I tell you what is plain, how should you believe, if I tell you of things more sublime?

for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven.

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

see a man who told me all that ever I have done: is not this the Christ?

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

the nobleman said to him, sir, pray come down before my child be dead.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good,

shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation.

don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser.

but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?

Jesus therefore went up a mountain, where he sat down with his disciples.

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of about five thousand.

then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were sate down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

for I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

The Jews then murmured against him, for having said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

is not this, said they, Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how comes he then to say, I came down from heaven?

but this is the bread which came down from heaven, that he who eats thereof should not die.

I am the living bread, that is come down from heaven: whosoever shall eat of this bread, shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?

but early in the morning he return'd to the temple, where all the people came to him; and being sat down, he instructed them.

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.

then stooping down again, he wrote on the ground.

therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if you don't believe me to be what I am, ye shall die in your sins.

which of you can convict me of sin? if then I say the truth, why don't you believe me?

then said they to him, where is he? I don't know, said he.

whether he be so or not, said he, I don't know: one thing I very well know, that once I was blind, and now I see.

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

(as the father and I are known to one another:) and I lay down my life for them.

therefore doth my father love me, because I lay down my life, but I shall reassume it.

no man can take it from me, but I voluntarily lay it down: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this is the order I have received from my father.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, who was of Bethany, the town of Mary, and of Martha her sister.

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

Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

many therefore of the Jews who came to see Mary, and had seen what Jesus had done, believed on him.

But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.

but one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest at that time, said to them, ye don't know what you are about.

the Pharisees therefore said among themselves, don't you perceive we lose ground? you see what a world of followers attend him.

But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:

Jesus answered him, you don't at present comprehend what I am about: but hereafter you shall.

after he had washed their feet, he took his garment, and setting down again, he said to them, do you comprehend what I have been doing?

Peter said to him, Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.

Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long, and don't you know me yet? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father; why then do you say, shew us the father?

don't you believe that I am in the father, and the father in me? the words that I speak unto you, I speak indeed, tho' not from my self; but as to the works, the father, who dwells in me, he is the agent.

I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves.

there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends.

if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father.

Pilate answered, am I a Jew? your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

what is truth? said Pilate. and upon saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I don't find he is guilty of any crime.

then said Pilate to him, won't you give me an answer? don't you know that it is in my power to crucify you, or to release you?

Pilate therefore hearing them talk at this rate, order'd Jesus to be brought forth, and then sat down in a place of Mosaic work on his tribunal, in Syriac call'd Gabbatha.

thereupon the chief priests of the Jews went to Pilate, saying, don't write, "The king of the Jews;" but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken."

where stooping down he saw the linen clothes lying; but did not go in.

but Mary stood at the entrance of the cave weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to look into the sepulchre,

come, said Jesus, let us dine. but none of the disciples offer'd to ask him, who he was; for they saw well enough that it was the Lord.

but after he had purchased a field with the reward of his iniquity, he fell down, his belly burst, and all his bowels gushed out:

and all the people were allarm'd at the many prodigies and miracles which were done by the apostles.

and having caused Peter and John to appear, they asked, by what influence, or by what authority have you done this?

saying, what shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

so when they had further threatned them, they let them go, not finding it practicable to punish them, because of the people, who all glorified God for that which was done.

to effect what thy power and thy wisdom pre-determined to be done.

by displaying thine hand in miraculous cures, and prodigies, which by the name of thy holy child Jesus shall be done.

which they laid down at the apostles feet: and they distributed it to every man as his occasions required.

at these words Ananias fell down dead upon the spot: which struck the minds of all that heard of it with great dread.

in the instant she fell down dead at his feet: and the young men came in, found her dead, carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

so Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he and our fathers,

I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt; I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. come immediately, and I will send you into Egypt."

then they dragg'd him out of the city, and stoned him: the false witnesses having laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

so he order'd the charioteer to stop: and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many that this man has done a world of mischief to thy saints at Jerusalem: he is now here,

the disciples took him by night, and let him down the wall in a basket.

which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.

but Peter turn'd them all out, and kneeled down and prayed, then turning towards the body, Tabitha, said he, arise immediately. she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

when he saw the heaven open, and something descending in the form of a great sheet, ty'd at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

and the voice spake to him again the second time, don't call that common, which God calls clean.

this was done thrice: and then the sheet was taken up into heaven.

rise therefore, get thee down, and go with them, without hesitating: for I have sent them.

then Peter went down to the messengers; and said, I am the person you look for: what occasion brought you hither?
