and such a great crowd gathered about him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the beach.

Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.

And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stood up.

Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."

Then the high priest rose and stood forth among them. "Have you no answer to make?" he asked Jesus; "What is it that these testify against you?"

When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.

Then he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. and, as was his custom, he entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.

And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and at once she arose and ministered unto them.

So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?"

And her spirit returned and instantly she stood up.

Then a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him. "Master," he said "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

They stood still, looking sad. And one of them named Cleopas, answered him, "Do you sojourn alone in Jerusalem, that you do not know what things have been happening there these days?"

While they were yet speaking he stood among them and said, "Peace be to you!"

Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.

So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think??hat he will not come to the feast at all?"

Then the crowd who stood around and heard it, said, "It thundered!" But others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.

Now there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Meanwhile, outside, Mary stood sobbing near the tomb. Still sobbing she stooped and looked into the tomb,

On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"

A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said: "Peace to you!"

Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.

So Peter arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up-stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still with them.

Now while Peter was greatly perplexed to know what the vision which he had been sent by Cornelius, and had made inquiries for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

Then a great clamor arose; some of the scribes who belonged to the Pharisaic party stood up, and contended. "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

And the following night the Lord stood by him and said: "Be of good courage; for as you have borne faithful witness concerning me at Jerusalem, so you must testify at Rome also."

So Paul was sent for, and then Tertullus began to accuse him, saying. "As it is owing to your excellency that we enjoy profound peace, and that the state of this nation,
