behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders. 9 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and 2 came into his own city. And behold, they brought to ancient authorities him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, 3 1Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven.

And 33 when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, By the prince 34 of the devils casteth he out devils. 9 9 8 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and 36 all manner of sickness. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep 37 not having a shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the la38 bourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 10 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 2 Now 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 3 brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, See Luke vi. 4 and Thaddeus; Simon the 1Cananæan, and Judas Is-1Or, Zealot. 5 cariot, who also betrayed him.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities. Now when John heard in the prison the works of 3 the Christ, he sent by his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have 5 good tidings preached 5 Or, the 6 to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall find gospel. 7 none occasion of stumbling in me. And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness 8 to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? & Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings' ancient au 9 houses. But wherefore went ye out? to prophet?
