Jesus immediately gave them leave. and the impure spirits quitting the possessed, entred into the swine, and the whole herd, which were about two thousand, ran down a precipice into the sea, and were there stifled.

when they were come to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed with the legion of demons, sitting in his clothes, and in his right mind, they were afraid.

as he was embarking, the late demoniack desired, that he might be with Jesus.

however, Jesus refused him, and said, go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he hath had compassion on thee.

and he departed, and published in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him: and all were filled with admiration.

When Jesus had repassed in the vessel to the other side, a crowd of people gathered about him, while he was nigh the sea.

so Jesus went with him, attended by a great crowd, that press'd about him.

but having heard of Jesus; she came behind him in the crowd, and touched his garment.

Jesus conscious of the influence he had exerted, immediately turned towards the crowd, and said, who touched my clothes?

Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."

Jesus leaving that place, went into his own country, attended by his disciples.

but Jesus said to him, a prophet is never despis'd, except in his own country, among his own kindred, and in his own family:

In the mean time king Herod heard of Jesus, whose name was now celebrated, and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, no wonder then that he works miracles.

Now the apostles met together in a body before Jesus, and gave him a full account, both of what they had done, and what they had taught.

then Jesus said to them, come, let us retire privately to some place of solitude, to repose your selves a while. for such a crowd of people were continually coming and going, that they had not even time to eat.

so that when Jesus landed, he found there a numerous assembly: which rais'd his compassion, because they were like so many sheep straggling without a pastor. whereupon he gave them various instructions.

Jesus replied, do you your selves give them something to eat. shall we go then, said they, to purchase bread, to the value of two hundred denarii, for them to eat?

Jesus then having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, look'd up to heaven and gave thanks; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people: for whom he likewise divided the two fishes.

Soon after Jesus obliged his disciples to embark for Bethsaida, on the opposite shore, while he was dismissing the people.

It was now late in the evening, and the bark in full sea, when Jesus, who was ashore all alone,

for they all saw him, and were greatly terrified. but at the instant Jesus spoke to them, and said, take courage, it is I, don't be afraid.

no sooner were they ashore, but the people, who presently perceiv'd it was Jesus,

The Pharisees, and certain Scribes from Jerusalem, came in a body to Jesus;

the Pharisees, and Scribes therefore ask'd Jesus, why don't your disciples observe the tradition of the antients? why do they take their meals without washing their hands?

Jesus answered, to such hypocrites as you may well be applied those words of the prophet Esaias, "this people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Then Jesus having called all the people to him, said, attend every one of you, and understand.

Jesus leaving that place, went towards the frontiers of Tyre and Sidon; and entring into a house, desired to let nobody know it; but he could not be conceal'd.

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.

Jesus then quitting the confines of Tyre and Sidon, and passing to the confines of Decapolis, came back to the sea of Gallilee.

Jesus taking him aside from the crowd, spit upon his fingers, and applied them to the ears and to the tongue of the deaf man.

and Jesus charg'd them not to mention it to any one; but the more be enjoin'd them, the more they publish'd it.

At that time, as the company were very numerous, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and said,

but Jesus fetching a deep sigh, said, why does this generation require a sign? I assure you, they shall have none.

they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,

Afterwards Jesus went to Bethsaida, where they presented to him a blind man, whom they entreated Jesus to touch.

From thence Jesus went attended with his disciples to the villages of Cesarea Philippi. and ask'd them by the way, who do they say I am?

but Jesus return'd, and looking upon his disciples, he gave Peter this rebuke, be gone, thou adversary, your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.

Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.

Moses and Elias likewise appear'd, and were in conference with Jesus.

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.

and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them.

then said Jesus, incredulous people, how long shall I be with you? must I be always assisting you? bring him before me.

Jesus then asked the father, how long is it since this befel him? from his infancy, said the father.

Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe.

Jesus observing the people came crowding to him, rebuked the evil spirit, saying, thou dumb and deaf spirit come out of the child, never to enter more, it is I command it.

but Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up, and he was perfectly recovered.

now when Jesus was retired to his own house, his disciples asked him in private, why could not we cast this spirit out?

Jesus answered, such a miracle is not effected but by prayer and fasting.

Upon this occasion John address'd himself to Jesus, saying, master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, tho' he did not belong to us, for which reason we opposed him.

but Jesus said, do not oppose him: for no man can speak evil of me, at the same time he works a miracle by virtue of my name.

Jesus departed from thence, and went towards the confines of Judea, thro' the country beyond Jordan: where the people resorting to him again, he renewed his instructions to them as usual.

but Jesus answered them, it was out of regard to your untractable temper, that Moses gave you this permission.

which Jesus observing was much displeas'd with them, and said, suffer little children to come unto me, do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? there is but one, who is good, that is God.

then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me.

then Jesus looking round about, said to his disciples, how difficult a thing is it for those who have riches to enter into the gospel kingdom!

at this expression the disciples were much surpriz'd. but Jesus reassum'd the discourse, and said, how difficult a thing is it for those, who place their trust in riches, to enter into the divine kingdom?

but Jesus casting his eye upon them, said, what is impossible to men, is not so to God; for to God all things are possible.

Then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, you see we have left every thing to follow you.

Jesus answered him, I declare unto you, there is not a man who has forsaken his house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, out of love to me and to the gospel,

When they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus led the way, and they followed behind full of apprehension and fear. then Jesus calling the twelve apostles to him again, acquainted them with what should befal him.

but Jesus said to them, you know not what you ask. can you drink the cup, that I must drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I must be baptized?

and they said, we can. but Jesus replied, you shall indeed drink of the cup, that I must drink of, and be baptized with the baptism, with which I must be baptized; but to sit on my right hand,

So that Jesus called them to him, and said, you know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and their great ones treat them in an imperious manner;

when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he cried out, and said, Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.

Jesus therefore stood still, and ordered him to be called; so they called to the blind man, and said, take courage, rise, he calls you.

upon which he threw off his loose coat, and went to Jesus;

and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

As they came near to Jerusalem, about Bethphage and Bethany, by the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them:

and they answered as Jesus had directed, so they let them go.

then they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments upon it, he mounted thereon.

Jesus having made his entrance into Jerusalem, went into the temple, and after he had survey'd the whole, it being then late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.

thereupon Jesus said to the fig-tree, "no one shall ever eat any fruit of yours." and his disciples took notice of it.

Being arrived at Jerusalem, Jesus went into the temple, and began to turn out those that bought and sold there; he overthrew the table of Money-changers, and the stalls of those that sold doves.

but at night Jesus withdrew from the city.

but Jesus replied, and said to them, rely upon God.

Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus.

they therefore gave Jesus this answer, we cannot tell. neither do I, said Jesus, acquaint you by what authority I act thus.

Then Jesus address'd himself to them in this parabolical manner. a certain person planted a vineyard, made a fence about it, clear'd the way for a wine-press, built a tower, and committed it to the care of vine-dressers, while he was travelling abroad.

to which Jesus reply'd, render to Cesar what belongs to Cesar, and to God what belongs to God. and they were surprized at the answer.

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.

Jesus observing he answer'd so discreetly, said to him, you are not far from the kingdom of God. and no man after that was so hardy as to ask him any question.

As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he address'd himself to them, saying, why do the Scribes maintain that Christ is the son of David?

At length, as Jesus was sitting over-against the treasury, he observed the peoples throwing money into the chest; when many of the rich gave large sums.

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 Jesus answer'd him, you see this magnificent structure, which shall not be left till it be all demolished, one stone after another.

Jesus answer'd by saying, take care not to let any one impose upon you;

Within two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread. and the chief priests, with the Scribes, contriv'd how they might seize Jesus by surprize, and put him to death.

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

and as they sat eating, Jesus said, verily I say unto you, one of you that is eating with me, will betray me.

When they had been eating, Jesus took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to them, and said, take it, this represents my body.

and Jesus said to them, this night you will all be staggered upon my account: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."

Jesus said to him, verily I tell thee, to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, you will renounce me thrice.

but Jesus addressing himself to them, said, why do you come with swords and clubs against me, as if you were to apprehend some robber?

Jesus they led away to the high priest's, where all the chief priests, the rulers and Scribes, were assembled.

Now the chief priests, and the whole council endeavour'd to get evidence against Jesus, to condemn him to die; but they found none.

then the high priest rising up in the midst of the assembly, ask'd Jesus, saying, have you nothing to plead for your self? what say you to the evidence they give against you?

but Jesus remain'd silent, and gave no answer. then the high priest asked him again, and said to him, art thou the Christ, the son of the most High?
