And anon Jesus gave them leave; And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine. And the herd startled, and ran headlong into the sea. They were about two thousand swine, and they were drowned in the sea.

And they came out to Jesus, and they saw him that was vexed with the fiend, and had the legion, sit: both clothed and in his right mind; and were afraid.

And they laughed him to scorn. Then he put them all out, and took the father and the mother of the maiden, and them that were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay;

And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure.

And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said, "From whence hath he these things? And what wisdom is this that is given unto him? And such virtues that are wrought by his hands?

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And they all did eat, and were satisfied.

And they that ate were about five thousand men.

For they all saw him, and were afraid. And anon he talked with them, and said unto them, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."

And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

For they remembered not of the loaves, because their hearts were blinded.

And as soon as they were come out of the ship, straight they knew him,

and ran forth throughout all the region round about, and began to carry about in beds all that were sick, to place where they heard tell that he was there.

And whithersoever he entered into the towns, or cities, or villages, they laid their sick in the streets, and prayed him, that they might touch and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe.

But ye say, 'A man shall say to his father or mother, Corban; which is, that thou desirest of me, to help thee with, is given to God.'

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, "He hath done all things well, and hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak."

And his disciples answered him, "Where should a man have bread here in the wilderness to satisfy these?"

And they ate and were sufficed, and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

And they that ate were in number about four thousand. And he sent them away.

And when Jesus knew that, he said unto them, "Why take ye thought because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your hearts yet blinded?

And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees."

Or else, what shall a man give, to redeem his soul again?

And wist not what he said, for they were afraid.

And as they came down from the hill, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till the son of man were risen from death again.

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were amazed, and ran to him, and saluted him.

And Jesus said unto him, "Yea if thou couldest believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

But they wist not what that saying meant, and were afraid to ask him.

And his disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and said unto them, "Children: how hard is it for them, that trust in their riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?

And they were astonished out of measure, saying between themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

Jesus looked upon them, and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."

Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's,

Many that are first, shall be last. And the last, first."
