And when he had rored and vehemently convulsed him, he came out of him: and the child was as one dead, so that many said, that he was dead.

And when He was come into the house, his disciples asked Him in private, Why could not we cast him out?

And they departed from thence and passed through Galilee, and He was not willing that any should know it;

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

And he came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He asked them, What were ye disputing about among yourselves by the way?

but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed:)

this was from the Lord, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

And immediately while He was yet speaking cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders:

or the day before the sabbath,) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

But Pilate wondered that He was dead already, and therefore calling for the centurion he asked him if He had been dead any time:

And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

And when the sabbath was past Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices in order to come and embalm Him:

(but when they looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away,) for it was a very great one.

but he said to them, Be not affrighted, ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, He is risen, He is not here, see the place where they laid Him.

to a virgin who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.

thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;

And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:

Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.

And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
