glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so 30 clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we 31 eat? or, what shall we drink? or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek ;) for 32 your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteous- 33 ness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take there- 34 fore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment 7 ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou 3 the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 4 Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! first cast out the beam 5 out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs; neither cast ye 6 your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 7 and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, re- 8 ceiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his 9 son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will 10 he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give 11. good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to 12 you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad 13 is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat because, strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, 14 which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's 15 clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall 16 know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good 17 fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree 18 cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit 19 is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by their fruits 20 ye shall know them

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into 21 the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, 22 Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name

have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: 23 depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and 24 doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods 25 came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth 26 these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. And the 27 rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell and great was the fall of it.

AND it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the 28 people were astonished at his doctrine. For he taught them as 29 one having authority, and not as the scribes.

WHEN he was come down from the mountain, great multi- 8 tudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and wor-2 shipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, 3 I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

AND when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came 5 unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 'and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The cen- 7,8 turion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, 9 having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, 10. and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel! And I say unto you, 11 That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into 12 outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou 13 hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the self-same hour.

AND when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his 14 wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her 15 hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

WHEN the even was come, they brought unto him many that 16 were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick; that it might be fulfilled 17 which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

NOW when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave 18 commandment to depart unto the other side.

AND a certain scribe came, and said unto him; Master, I will 19 follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto 20 him; The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

AND another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me 21 first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow 22 me; and let the dead bury their dead.

AND when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed 23 him. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, inso- 24 much that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, 25 Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are 26 ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men 27 marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

AND when he was come to the other side, into the country 28 of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And behold, they cried out, saying, What 29 have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way 30 off from them a herd of many swine, feeding. So the devils 31 besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 'And he said unto them, Go. And 32 when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. And they that 33 kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing; and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when 34 they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and 9 came into his own city.

:

AND behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, 2 lying on a bed and Jesus seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This 3 man blasphemeth. And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said; 4 Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier 5 to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth 6 to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and de- 7 parted to his house. But when the multitude saw it, they mar- 8 velled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. AND as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man named 9 Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 'And it came to 10

pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And 11 when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when 12 Jesus heard that, he said unto them; They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn 13 what that meaneth,

I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,

for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repent

ance.

THEN came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we 14 and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus 15 said unto them; Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old 16 garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new 17 wine into old bottles; else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

WHILE he spake these things unto them, behold, there came 18 a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his 19 disciples.

And behold, a woman which was diseased with an issue of 20 blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. For she said within herself, If I may but touch 21 his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, 22 and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the 23 minstrels and the people making a noise, he said unto them, 24 Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he 25 went in, and took her by the hand: and the maid arose. And 26 the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

AND when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed 27 him crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came 28 to him: And Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he 29 their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you. And 30 their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were de- 31 parted, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

AS THEY went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man 32 possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the 33 dumb spake: and the multitude marvelled, saying, It was never

so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils, 34 through the prince of the devils.

AND Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in 35 their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compas- 36 sion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples; 37 The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray 38 ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he10 gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. Now 2 the names of the twelve Apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; 3 Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus; Simon the Ca- 4 naanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

THESE twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, 5 Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go rather to the lost sheep of the 6 house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of 7 heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the 8 dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Pro- 9 vide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; nor scrip 10 for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever 11 city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into a house, 12 salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come 13 upon it but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, 14 when ye depart out of that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily, I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for 15 the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 16 wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, 17 and they will scourge you in their synagogues: and ye shall be 18 brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, 19 take no thought how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not 20 ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and 21 the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be 22 hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this 23
