And there came 30 unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them: insomuch that the multi- 31 tude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel. And Jesus called unto him his disciples, 32 and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way. And the disciples say unto him, Whence 33 should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude? And 34 Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitude to 35 sit down on the ground; and he took the 36 seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. And they 37 did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full. And they that did eat 38 were four thousand men, beside women and 39 children. And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan. the end of ver. 16 I And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tempting him asked him to shew them a sign 2 from heaven.

And Peter took 22 him, and began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get 23 thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumblingblock unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. Then 24 said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever 25 would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what shall a man be profited, if he 26 shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his 27 life? For the Son of man shall come in the 'Or, soul glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his 28 deeds.

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking 4 with him. And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; Or, booths one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for 5 Elijah. While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they 7 fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, 8 and be not afraid. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only. 6 9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be 10 risen from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that 11 Elijah must first come? And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall re12 store all things: but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed.

And when they were come to the multitude, 14 there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: 15 for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously: for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. And I brought him to thy dis- 16 ciples, and they could not cure him. And Jesus 17 answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked him; and the 'devil 18 went out from him: and the boy was cured from that hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus 19 apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? And he saith unto them, Because of your little 20 faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 2 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said 22 unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; and they shall kill 23 him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry. 4 And when they were come to Capernaum, 24 they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your 5 master pay the 4 half-shekel? He saith, Yea. And when he 25 came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? And when he said, From strangers, Jesus 26 said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou 27 |
