And the Pharisees observing it, said to his disciples, How is this, that your Master eateth with publicans and sinners? But Jesus hearing it, said unto them, They who are in the vigour of health have no need of the physician, but they who have illness. Go then, and learn what is said, "I require mercy and not sacrifice:" for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour. And when Jesus was come into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and a multitude confusedly lamenting, he saith to them, Retire; for the little girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they derided him. So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And the fame of it went forth into all that country.

saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him? And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about. Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her. And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them. But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs. And the whole city was gathered together about the door; and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him. And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed. And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him; and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth. And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils. And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed. And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed. And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away; and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.

NOW after he had finished all these sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die.

And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour: for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured. For I also am a man under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel. And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health.

Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe. read more.

And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered! Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him. Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.

and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea was greatly agitated by a tempestuous wind that blew. Having rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the vessel, and they were affrighted. read more.
But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they desired to take him into the vessel: and instantly the vessel was at the land whither they were going. The next day the multitude who stayed on the other side of the sea, when they saw that there was no little vessel there, except the one into which his disciples went, and that Jesus went not with his disciples in the vessel, but that his disciples went away alone; (but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:) then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus. And when they found him on the other side the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
