Josias the father of Jechonias and his brethren, about the time when the Jews were carried away to Babylon.

and he sent them to Bethlehem, go, said he, make an exact enquiry about the young child, and when ye have found him, let me know it, that I too may come and pay my adorations to him.

now John wore a coat made of camels hair, with a leathern girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild hony.

Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem, of all Judea, and the whole country about Jordan, came to him:

and the land of Nephthalim, lying upon the sea, and about Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

Thus went Jesus about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all sorts of diseases and infirmities among the people:

and a great multitude of people followed him from Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judea, and from about Jordan.

things which the Gentiles are so thoughtful about, and which your heavenly Father knows that you want.

therefore sollicitous about the morrow: for the morrow shall be taken up with the cares of the morrow, the trouble of the day is sufficient for one day.

Now Jesus perceiving the crowd about him, gave orders to pass over to the other side of the lake.

but Jesus turned about, and looking upon her, said, daughter lay aside your fears, thy faith hath cured thee: and the woman was cured from that instant.

And Jesus went about all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing diseases and disorders of every kind.

When an unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he roams about the deserts, seeking rest, and findeth none.

and there was so great a croud of people got about him, that he was oblig'd to go into a bark, where he sat, while the people all stood on the shore.

now they that had eaten, were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

where being known by the people of that place, they sent about all that country, and presented to him all that were diseased,

which Jesus perceiving, he said, distrustful men, why do ye trouble your heads about forgetting the bread?

But whoever shall occasion such an humble believer to fall off from the faith, it were better for him that a mill-stone were hang'd about his neck, and that he were plung'd to the bottom of the sea.

he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place, and said to them,

about the sixth and ninth hour he went out again, and gave the like directions.

at last, about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, why do you stand idling thus all day long?

they then that were hired about the eleventh hour, came and received every man his penny.

accordingly they went about the streets, and assembled all they met indifferently, both good and bad: so that the hall was furnished with guests.

About that time the Sadducees, who say there is no future life, came and propos'd this question,

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, mention'd by Daniel the prophet, stand about the holy place, (let him that readeth,

About this time the chief priests, and the elders of the people, assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

Jesus said to him, friend, what are you come about? when the others advancing, seized upon Jesus, and secur'd him.

after this the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered all the foot-guards about him.

and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? that is to say, "my God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?"

now John was clothed with camels hair, with a leathern girdle about his waist: and his food was locusts and wild honey.

but as soon as he was gone, he began freely to talk of it, and blazed it about every where, so that Jesus could not go publickly into the city any more, but stay'd in the out parts, which were not much frequented, where people came to him from every quarter.

so great a company assembled, that there was no room for them in the house, nor even about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

then he looking with indignation at those about him, being concern'd at their disingenuous perverse temper, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, which he did, and his hand become sound.

from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and the territory about Jordan, a considerable number of the inhabitants about Tyre and Sidon having heard of his great actions, came likewise to meet him.

for the crowd about him, they sent him word to come to them. and when they told him, your mother and brothers and sisters are here without enquiring for you,

He began again to teach by the sea-side: but there was so great a crowd gathered about him, that he was oblig'd to go into a ship, where he sat down, and stay'd on board while the people stood on the shore.

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 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.

his disciples replied, you see the multitude press about you, and do you ask, who touched you?

however, he looked about to see who it was.

they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.

the company that were entertain'd being about five thousand men.

perceived his disciples had much ado to bear up against the wind, which was contrary; about the fourth watch of the night, he came up, and would have pass'd by them.

for laying aside what is of divine appointment, you stick to their human traditions, about the washing of pots, and cups, and many other the like practices.

said, why do you trouble your heads about your having no bread? are you yet so void of sense, and understanding? are your minds so blinded?

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

When he was come to the other disciples, he found a great crowd about them, and the Pharisees disputing with them.

but they did not comprehend the meaning, and were ashamed to ask him about it.

At length, he arrived at Capernaum, where being in his own house, he asked his disciples, what were you disputing about by the way?

at which they were silent, for upon the road they had disputed about precedency.

but if any one shall cause the meanest of those, who believe in me, to transgress, it had been better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

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!

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:

Then they entred again into Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the Scribes, and rulers of the Jews came about him,

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.

in the sequel of the discourse, he said to them, beware of the Scribes, who affect to walk about in their long robes, to be saluted in publick places,

now when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not sollicitous about your defence, don't premeditate upon it; but what shall be suggested to you at the very occasion, that deliver: for it is not you that will plead, but the holy spirit.

that you may have a distinct view of those things about which you have been inform'd.

Now Mary stay'd about three months with Elizabeth, and then return'd to her own house.

when all of a sudden an angel of the Lord appear'd to them, and a heavenly light shone about them, at which they were greatly affrighted.

being then a widow of about fourscore and four years old: she was assiduously in the temple, night and day religiously employ'd in fastings and prayers:

Jesus replied, why were ye so sollicitous about me? don't you know that 'tis my business to be in my father's house?

in pursuance of which, he went into all the country about Jordan, exhorting all to repent and be baptized, in order to obtain the remission of their sins.

Jesus was then about thirty years of age, being, as was suppos'd, the son of Joseph,

About that time, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in an oratory.

when Jesus heard this, he admired the man, and turning about, he said to the people, that followed him, I assure you, I have not met with such an instance of faith even among the Jews themselves.

After this Jesus went about, preaching to every city and village, proclaiming the reign of the Messias, attended by his twelve apostles,

the keepers seeing this, ran about and spread it, both in town,

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, who lay a dying. as he was on the way, the crowd press'd after him,

upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?"

for they were about five thousand. but Jesus said to his disciples, make them sit down by fifties in a company.

About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up a mountain to pray.

who discours'd about the exit, he was to make at Jerusalem;

but Jesus replied to her, Martha, Martha, you trouble yourself about a world of cares:

One day Jesus had been praying in a certain place, and as soon as he had done, one of his disciples said to him, instruct us about prayer, as John the baptist instructed his disciples.

When the impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders about the wilds in quest of some repose: but finding none, I will return, says he, to the abode I have quitted.

In the mean time thousands of people being gather'd about him, so as to trample upon one another, he first address'd himself thus to his disciples, beware of the corrupt doctrine of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

if then you can't effect so small a matter, why are you disquieted about a much longer time?

therefore don't be concern'd about what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; but lay aside all your anxiety:

for it is enough that the Gentiles are so concern'd about these things: as for you, your father is acquainted with all your wants.

to which he made answer, sir, let it alone one year longer, till I shall dig about it, and dung it.

till then I must be stirring about, to-day, and to-morrow, and the next day: for a prophet cannot be put to death any where, but at Jerusalem.

After this a great multitude being gather'd about him, he address'd himself to them,

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

it were better for him that a milstone were hang'd about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should occasion any innocent person to relapse.

fix it therefore in your mind, not to think beforehand about your defence.

accordingly he went and conferr'd with the chief priests and officers of the temple, about the method of seizing him.

At length he withdrew from them about a stone's cast, where falling upon his knees,

they who were about him seeing what would happen, said to him, shall we smite with the sword?

about an hour after another confidently affirm'd, saying, this fellow was certainly with him; for he too is a Galilean.

whereupon the Lord turned about, and look'd upon Peter. then Peter remembred what the Lord had said to him, "before the cock-crowing you shall deny me thrice."

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.

About the sixth hour, it was dark all over the land till the ninth hour.

whilst they were in great perplexity about it, all of a sudden, two men appear'd before them in robes of light.

The same day two of them went to a village named Emmaus, which was distant about threescore furlongs from Jerusalem:

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

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

upon which he made a whip of small cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with their sheep, and oxen; and threw about the changers money, and over-set the tables; and said to the dove-sellers,
