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.

Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and the door shall be opened.

for every one that asks, does receive: he that seeks, does find: and he that knocks at the door, is admitted.

but the gate which leads to life is narrow, and the way is difficult, and few there be that find it.

When Jesus came to the ruler's house, he found a set of flute-players and a crowd of people making a lamentable cry,

whatever city or town ye enter into, find out some house of repute, and there lodge till ye leave that place.

I declare unto you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall find less severity in the day of judgment, than that city.

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.

and if he happen to find it, you may be sure he is more affected with that one, than with the ninety and nine which went not astray.

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?

saying, go to yonder village, and you will immediately find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.

go therefore into the high streets, and as many as ye find, invite to the marriage:

who shall be found so employed, at his master's return.

then returning, he found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

but they found none: and though many false witnesses came, it was not found sufficient. at last there came two false witnesses, who charg'd him with saying,

and when they had found him, they said, the people are seeking for you.

so that when Jesus landed, he found there a numerous assembly: which rais'd his compassion, because they were like so many sheep straggling without a pastor. whereupon he gave them various instructions.

when observing that some of his disciples were eating with profane hands, that is, without having wash'd them, they found fault.

for a woman, whose child was possess'd with an impure spirit, having heard of him, found him out, and throwing herself at his feet,

accordingly she went home, where she found that the demon was indeed gone out of her daughter, and she was lying on the bed.

if I send them home fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them are come very far.

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

go to yonder village that faces you, and upon your entrance into it, you will find a colt tied, that never was yet backed; loose him, and bring him to me.

and observing at a distance a fig-tree full of leaves, he went up to it to see if he could find any fruit upon it. but when he came to it, he found it had nothing but leaves, (for it was not the season for that sort of fig.)

his disciples therefore went away, and being come into the city, they found every thing, as he had told them; and they prepared the paschal lamb.

Then he return'd, and having found them sleeping, he said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? could you not watch one hour?

then he return'd and found them still sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know how to give an answer.

Now the chief priests, and the whole council endeavour'd to get evidence against Jesus, to condemn him to die; but they found none.

and by this sign shall you know him; you will find the babe swathed, lying in a manger.

accordingly they hasted thither, and found Mary and Joseph with the babe lying in the manger.

three days after they found him in the temple, sitting near the doctors, attending to them and asking them questions.

When it was day, he retired into a desart place, where the people searching for him, found him out, and as they earnestly press'd him not to leave them,

but when they found it impracticable to bring him in through the crowd, they went up the gallery to the leads, and let him down through the ceiling in his bed among the company, where Jesus was,

blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be satisfied. blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall find matter of mirth.

and they that were sent, being return'd to the house, they found the servant, who had been sick, in good health.

and country, whence numbers went to see the fact: being come to Jesus, they found the man, who had been dispossess'd of the demons, sitting at Jesus's feet, cloathed, and in his right senses: at which they were much surpriz'd,

and heal the sick you find there. tell the inhabitants the kingdom of God is drawing nigh unto them.

to whom he answered, how does the law run in that case? what do you find?

I tell you likewise, ask, and it shall be given: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and the door shall be opened.

happy those servants, whom the master at his arrival shall find thus watching: I assure you, he shall gird himself, and make them sit at table, and will come to serve them.

whom his master at his return shall find so employ'd.

He proposed likewise this parable: a certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came expecting it should have had fruit, but he found none.

then he said to the vine-dresser, you see, I have been looking these three years for fruit from this fig-tree, but find none: hew it down, why should it cumber my ground?

you will soon find your aboad become desolate. I declare unto you, you shall not see me till the time, when you will say, "blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord."

and when he hath found it, joyfully lay it upon his shoulders?

and when he comes home, call his friends and neighbours together, and say to them, rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep, that was lost?

or if a woman, that has ten pieces of money, should lose one of them, will she not light a lamp, sweep the house, and carefully search, till she find it?

and when 'tis found, will she not call her friends aud neighbours together, and say, rejoice with me, for I have found the piece, I had lost?

for this son of mine was dead, and is come to life: he was lost, and is found again. and then they began their feast.

but it was necessary to feast and rejoice, because your brother here was dead, and is again alive: he was lost and is now found.

as soon as he perceiv'd them, he said to them, go shew yourselves to the priests. and on the way they found themselves cured.

I tell you, he will speedily avenge them. however, when the son of man comes, how few of the faithful will he find in the land?

but they comprehended nothing of all this: his discourse was a riddle to them, and they could not find out the meaning.

saying to them, go to the village opposite to you: at your entrance there, you will find a colt ty'd, that was never yet back'd: untie it and bring it here.

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

but they could not find the means of effecting it; for all the populace were strongly attach'd to his doctrine.

beware of the Scribes, who are fond of appearing in their long robes, affect to be saluted in publick, to have the upper hand in the synagogues, and at all entertainments.

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

and thus they began their charge, we found this man subverting our nation, opposing the giving tribute to Cesar, asserting that he himself is Christ the king.

at last Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I don't find any crime in this man.

you have represented this man to me as one that was stirring up the people to a revolt: you see I have examin'd him in your presence; yet I don't find he is guilty of the crimes you have laid to his charge: no, nor even Herod;

however he urg'd it a third time, why, what crime has he done? I don't find he has done any thing that deserves death: I will therefore order him to be whipp'd, and so dismiss him.

and having found that the stone had been remov'd from the sepulchre, they entred in,

but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

whereupon some of us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women had related; but him they did not see.

and immediately they set out, and return'd to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven, and the rest of their company, all assembled, who said,

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

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.

where he found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, besides the changers of money, who were sitting there.

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, master, when did you arrive here?

ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come.

upon which the Jews said among themselves, whither will he go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the dispersed Jews among the Greeks, and instruct the Greeks?

what does he mean by saying, "ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, thither ye cannot come?"

they answered him, are you also of Galilee? search the scriptures, and you will not find that a prophet did ever arise out of Galilee.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; he shall go in and out, and find pasture.

When Jesus was arriv'd, he found that Lazarus had been then four days in the grave.

what is truth? said Pilate. and upon saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I don't find he is guilty of any crime.

Pilate therefore went out again, and said to them, observe, I bring him out to you, to acquaint you that I find no fault in him.

as soon as the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, "crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said to them, take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

The first day of the week early in morning Mary Magdalene, when it was yet dusky, came to the sepulchre, and found the stone was taken away from the sepulchre.

they answered him, no. and he said to them, cast the net on the right side of the vessel, and ye shall find. so they cast it, and it was so full of fish they were not able to draw it.

in the instant she fell down dead at his feet: and the young men came in, found her dead, carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

the prison we found shut very secure, and the keepers posted before the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no body within.

you cannot defeat it; perhaps you may be found warring against heaven." To him they agreed: and

but Philip was found at Azotus: and passing on, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

went to the high priest, and demanded letters for the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any of this sect, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

at length Barnabas departed to Tarsus in quest of Saul, and having found him, he conducted him to Antioch:

Herod having caus'd diligent search to be made, without being able to find him, after examining the guards, he order'd them to execution. after which he departed from Judea, and went to Cesarea, where he resided.

Having travers'd the isle as far as to Paphos, they found a Jew there nam'd Barjesus, who was a false prophet and magician:

God removed Saul, and rais'd up David to be their king, to whom he gave this testimonial, " I have found David the son of Jesse: he is a man most acceptable to me, and he will execute all my orders."

but the unbelieving Jews thro' envy, by the assistance of some loose strolers, rais'd a mob, set the whole city in an uproar, and attack'd Jason's house, thinking to find them there, and deliver them up to the populace.

where having found a Jew nam'd Aquila, a native of Pontus, who lately came from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had order'd all the Jews to quit Rome; he went to them:

nay, among your own body some will start up to vent their intricate conceits, and draw a number of followers.

when the commanding officer order'd him to be brought into the castle, and put to the question by the lash, in order to find out the reason of their exclamations against him.

and the Scribes taking part with the Pharisees, grew warm in the debate, and said, "we find no harm in this man; perhaps a spirit or an angel has spoke to him."

but I found their accusation turned upon certain topics of their law, and contain'd nothing that was capital, or that deserv'd imprisonment:

ordering his accusers to appear before you. if you please to interrogate him yourself, you will find the whole charge to be truly laid."

they neither found me in conference with any one in the temple, nor working up the people either in the assemblies or in the streets:

there religiously employ'd some Asiatic Jews found me, without crowd or tumult:

Having thus escap'd, we found we were upon the isle of Malta:
