Then Joseph being awak'd out of sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed, and took his wife home,

When they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, take the infant and his mother, flee into Egypt, and don't stir thence till I order you, for Herod will endeavour to have the child destroy'd. Joseph therefore arose,

took the infant and his mother by night, and fled into Egypt:

saying, arise, take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who attempted the life of the infant are dead.

then he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

then the devil took Jesus with him to Jerusalem, and having set him on the wing of the temple, he said to him,

if you are the Son of God, throw your self down: for it is written, "he will charge his angels to take care of you, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest you bruise your foot against a stone."

whoever therefore shall break any commandment, tho' of the least importance, and shall teach men so to do, shall not have the least admittance into the kingdom of the Messias: but whoever shall do and teach them, he shall be great in the kingdom of the Messias.

Take care not to perform any religious act in order to be observed by men: otherwise you will have no reward from your father who is in heaven.

When ye fast, don't put on a dismal air, as the hypocrites do, who look dejected, that men may take notice of their fasting: I assure you, they have their reward.

with what assurance can you say, brother, let me take that mote out of your eye; when there is such an apparent beam in your own eye?

and Jesus said to him, take care not to tell any man, but go thy way, shew thy self to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony against them.

whereby was fulfilled what Esaias the prophet said, "Himself took our infirmities, and bare, our diseases."

where they brought a man on a bed, lying sick of the palsy: and Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, take courage, my son, thy sins are forgiven.

only it was fit you should know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins: arise, then, said he, to the paralytic, take up thy bed, and march home.

When a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, came behind him, and touch'd the hem of his garment.

for she said within her self, if I do but touch his garment, I shall be cured:

and they had their sight: but Jesus gave them a strict charge, saying, take care not to let any man know it:

but when they take you. into custody, be not sollicitous, how or what ye shall speak, for at the very instant you shall be inspir'd what to say.

and he that does not take his cross, and so follow after me, is unworthy of me.

take my yoke upon you, and learn to be meek like me, and of an humble temper: and ye shall enjoy tranquillity of mind.

He propos'd another parable to them, which was this; the gospel-state is like a grain of mustard-seed which a man took to sow in his field.

Another of his parables was this; the gospel-state is like unto leaven, which a woman took and mixt with three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

upon which, his disciples came to take away the body, and having buried it, they went to tell Jesus what had happened.

as Jesus landed, he saw a great multitude, and was touch'd with compassion towards them, and healed their sick.

then giving orders for the company to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks; then breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the company: who all of them eat,

but Jesus immediately call'd to them, take courage, said he, it is I, don't be afraid.

praying him to let them only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touch'd it were made perfectly whole.

but he answered, it is not just to take the childrens bread, and throw it to puppies.

Now at their departure to go to the other side, his disciples had forgot to take bread.

where's your understanding? don't you remember the five loaves among five thousand and how many baskets ye took away?

but what, said he, do you take me to be?

Then addressing himself to his disciples, if any man, said he, would follow me, let him renounce himself, take up his cross, and so follow me.

After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, in private to the top of a high mountain.

he said, yes. and when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, what think you Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of others?

however, lest we should give offence, go you to the sea, throw in a book, and take the first fish that strikes: then open its jaws, and you will find a piece of money: that take, and give it to them for me and thee.

take care not to despise one of such an humble disposition: for I tell you, that in heaven their angels are continually attending the presence of my father who is in heaven:

but if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that the remonstrances of two or three persons may have its effect.

upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt.

take your due, and be gone: I will give the last the same I give you.

As Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples in private, and said to them,

and they endeavoured to seize him, but were afraid of the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

then said the king to the servants, bind him hand and foot, take him away, and turn him out in the dark: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

they dispatch'd therefore some of their disciples, together with the Herodians, who thus address'd themselves to him; master, we know that you are sincere, and faithfully teach the divine law without fear or flattery: for you have no regard to the outward quality of men.

for they load men with intolerable impositions, and will not take the least pains to ease them of the burthen: they do nothing but out of ostentation,

neither take the title of masters, for you have but one master, who is the Messias.

As Jesus was going from the temple, his disciples came and desired him to take a view of the buildings.

Jesus answered them, take care not to be deceived by any one:

ye shall hear likewise of wars, and rumours of wars: take care not to be disturb'd: for these things must happen, but the end of the Jewish age is not yet.

he that is on the battlements, let him not venture to go in to take any thing out of his house.

if any man be in the field, let him not return back to take his coat.

If then there be a servant, appointed by his master to take care of his family, who faithfully and prudently distributes their allowance according to the establishment: happy is the servant,

The kingdom of the Messiah will then be such, as when ten virgins took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

they that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

but he that had received one, went to dig a hole in the ground, and hid his lord's money.

here, take the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten.

take then that worthless fellow, turn him out in the dark, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

for I was prest with hunger, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye took care of me: I was in prison, and ye visited me.

when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

and consulted how to seize Jesus by surprize, and take away his life.

While they were yet eating, Jesus took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, take, eat; this represents my body.

and he took the cup, and having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it:

but he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be in a very great agony of grief.

and at his return, he said to his disciples, is this a time to sleep and take your rest? the hour draws nigh, and the son of man is betrayed into the hands of the gentiles.

At which, one of Jesus's company laying his hand upon his sword, drew it, and striking at a servant of the high priest's, took off his ear.

but Jesus said to him, put up your sword in its place: for all that take to the sword, shall perish by the sword.

but the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, it is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

then was fulfilled what Jeremy the prophet said, "and they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price at which he was valued, by the children of Israel,

Pilate perceiving he was so far from prevailing, that they were more tumultuous, he took water, and washed his hands before all the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: you are answerable for it.

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

and they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

and after they had thus insulted him, they took the robe off, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

and they took their post to watch him there.

so they took the money, and did as they were directed: and this report is still current among the Jews at this day.

said he, how you take the least notice of this to any man: but go, show your self to the priest, and offer for your cure what Moses commanded, that this may serve as a testimony against them.

is it not as easy to say to the paralytic, thy sins are forgiven: as to say, arise, and take up your bed and walk?

'tis I command you, take up thy bed, and go to your home.

instantly he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw any thing like this.

upon this the Pharisees withdrew, and immediately enter'd into a conspiracy with the Herodians to take away his life.

for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him.

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.

for said she, if I do but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.

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

he order'd them to take nothing for their journey, but a single staff, no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse:

though the fragments of bread they took up, with what remain'd of the fishes, amounted to twelve baskets full;

for they all saw him, and were greatly terrified. but at the instant Jesus spoke to them, and said, take courage, it is I, don't be afraid.

and to whatever cities, towns, or villages he went, they expos'd the sick in the publick streets, entreating him, they might but touch the border of his garment; for as many as did so, were recover'd.

the Pharisees, and Scribes therefore ask'd Jesus, why don't your disciples observe the tradition of the antients? why do they take their meals without washing their hands?

Jesus therefore said to her, let the children first be satisfy'd; for it would not be decent to take the children's bread, and throw it to puppys.

Now the disciples had forgot to take bread, and had but one loaf aboard with them.

they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,

when I divided the five loaves among five thousand people, how many baskets full of fragments did you take away? they answer'd, twelve.

Afterwards Jesus went to Bethsaida, where they presented to him a blind man, whom they entreated Jesus to touch.

but who, said he, do you take me to be? Peter answered, you are the Messiah:

and this he said in such an undisguised manner, that Peter took him aside, and pretended to reprimand him.

Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.

then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me.
