but Jesus perceiving their suspicions, said to them, every kingdom divided against itself will soon be desolate: one family divided against another, falls to ruin.

but Jesus said, wo unto you likewise, doctors of the law; for you load men with insupportable burthens, the least part of which you will not yourselves bear:

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

Jesus answered, if there be a faithful prudent steward, appointed by his master to give his domesticks their stated allowance; happy is such a servant,

At the same time, there were some present, who gave Jesus an account of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

upon which Jesus thus address'd himself to them. do you imagine that those Galileans were greater sinners than the rest of the nation, because they suffer'd in such a manner?

Jesus seeing her, called her to him, and said, woman you are freed from your disorder.

but the ruler of the synagogue being highly incensed at Jesus's healing on the sabbath-day, said to the people, there are six days for work, you should come therefore for cure on those days, and not on the sabbath.

to which Jesus replied, thou hypocrite, who is there among you that scruples to untie his ox or his ass, and lead him from the stall to water on the sabbath-day?

One sabbath-day, Jesus went to dine with a Pharisee of the first distinction, where he was strictly observ'd.

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.

Then many of the Publicans, and people of a bad reputation gather'd about Jesus to hear him;

Jesus said likewise to his disciples, a certain rich man had an information against his steward, for making havock of his estate.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, it is impossible but that discouragements should come: but wo to him, who is the occasion of them.

As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he happen'd to pass between Samaria and Galilee.

Jesus our master, take pity on us.

then prostrating himself at the feet of Jesus, he gave him thanks. now this man was a Samaritan.

and Jesus said to him, were not all the ten healed? where then are the other nine?

Jesus propos'd likewise this parable to them, to show that they should persevere in prayer, and not be discouraged.

observe, said Jesus, that language of this unrighteous judge.

but Jesus called the children to him, and said to his disciples, let the children come to me, without any hindrance, for they who belong to the kingdom of God, must be like them.

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

upon hearing that, Jesus said to him, one thing you have yet to do: sell all you have, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: then come, and follow me.

Jesus perceiving him so very dejected, said, how difficult is it for those, who have riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!

Jesus answer'd, by divine assistance men may do that which would be otherwise impossible.

Jesus answer'd, I declare unto you, no one has ever quitted house or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, upon account of the gospel-dispensation,

Afterwards Jesus took the twelve aside, and said to them, now we are going to Jerusalem where all that the prophets have writ concerning the son of man shall be accomplished.

they told him, Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.

then he cry'd out, Jesus son of David, have pity on me.

then Jesus stopp'd, and order'd them to bring the man to him, who being come nigh, he ask'd him,

have sight, said Jesus, your faith has obtain'd you a cure.

and immediately he saw: and followed Jesus, glorifying God: and all the people, who were eye-witnesses, gave praise unto God.

As Jesus was pursuing his journey from Jericho,

was very desirous to see the person of Jesus, but could not for the crowd, he being of a low stature.

as soon as Jesus came at the place, he look'd up, and seeing him, Zaccheus, said he, make haste down; for I intend to dine at your house to-day.

so down he came in great haste, and gave Jesus a joyful reception.

but Zaccheus address'd himself to Jesus, and said, Lord, half my estate I give to the poor; and if I have wrong'd any man, I will give him four times the value.

then said Jesus, speaking of him, this day is salvation come to this family, since he is now become a true son of Abraham.

Their attention being raised by this, Jesus pursued his discourse with a parable, occasion'd by their thinking, that, because he was advanc'd so nigh to Jerusalem, the kingdom of God would immediately commence.

After this discourse, Jesus pursued his journey towards Jerusalem.

Accordingly the messengers went, and found the colt, as Jesus had told them.

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

Jesus answer'd, I will ask you one question;

Jesus replied, neither will I tell you by what authority I act thus.

then Jesus looking upon them, said, what is the meaning then of that expression, "the stone, which the builders rejected, is become the chief stone of the angle."

but Jesus perceiving their malicious design, said to them, why do you practise upon me?

Jesus answered, in this life men and women marry.

But Jesus said to them, you affirm the Messiah must be descended from David, how can that be?

As Jesus was observing the rich casting their offerings into the treasury,

Thus Jesus used to teach in the temple by day, and retir'd to the mountain of Olives by night.

being nigh, the chief priests consulted with the Scribes, how they might put Jesus to death; for they were afraid of the people.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, go, and make provision for our eating the paschal-lamb.

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

Jesus therefore told them, the kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they, who are invested with their authority, take the title of benefactors.

Then said Jesus, Simon, Simon, satan has demanded to shake you, and my disciples, like wheat in a sieve.

but Jesus said, before the cock proclaims the day, you will thrice deny that ever you knew me.

When I sent you, added Jesus, without either purse, or bag, or shoes, was you in any want? not at all, answer'd they.

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.

but Jesus said to him, Judas is it thus you betray the son of man, with a kiss?

but Jesus oppos'd, and said, forbear, stop there. and having touch'd his ear, he healed him.

then said Jesus to the chief priests, the officers of the temple, and the rulers, who were come to take him, are you come here with swords and staves as in pursuit of a robber?

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

In the mean time, they who held Jesus, treated him with insults and buffoonry.

At length the whole assembly broke up, and Jesus was conducted to Pilate:

then Pilate ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answer'd him, 'tis as you say.

When Herod saw Jesus he was extremely pleased; for he had long desired to see him, having heard much of him, and hoped to see him perform some miracle.

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

Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, expostulated with them again.

accordingly he discharg'd the prisoner they desired, him that was committed for riot and murder; but he abandon'd Jesus to their discretion.

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,

but Jesus turn'd about and said to them, daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for your selves, and for your children.

At the same time, two malefactors were led along to be crucified with Jesus.

and Jesus said, "father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." then they divided his raiment among them by throwing lots,

then said he to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you enter into your kingdom.

Jesus answer'd, verily I tell you, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

and Jesus cryed with a loud voice, saying, father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and in pronouncing these words, he expired.

this very man went to Pilate, and begg'd the body of Jesus.

the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of.

but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

now while they were conferring and debating together, Jesus himself join'd them and walk'd along with them.

what about? said he. why, about Jesus the Nazarean, said they, who was a prophet, eminently recommended, by his doctrine and his works, to the approbation of God and of all the people;

then Jesus said to them, how stupidly incredulous are you not to believe things that have been all predicted by the prophets!

when looking upon him more intently, they perceiv'd that it was Jesus. but he vanish'd out of sight.

Thereupon the two disciples related what had hapned on the road, and how they first discover'd who Jesus was at his breaking of bread.

While they were thus talking, Jesus himself appear'd in the midst of them, and said to them, peace be with you.

the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

and seeing Jesus as he walked, he said, "behold the lamb of God."

the two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus.

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

and he brought him to Jesus. and when Jesus beheld him, he said, "thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

The day following Jesus having a mind to go into Galilee, met with Philip, and said to him, follow me.

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Jesus seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

said Nathanael to him. before Philip called you, replied Jesus, I saw you under the fig-tree.

Jesus answered him, because thou believest what I said, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou shalt see greater things than these.

Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

as likewise Jesus and his disciples, who were all invited to the feast.
