29 waters. And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, 1to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind2, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, 31 Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, where32 fore didst thou doubt? And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, 35 unto Gennesaret. And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that 36 were sick; and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole. 151 Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and 2 scribes, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when 3 they eat bread. And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradi4 tion? For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him 3 die the death. But ye say, Who- 5 soever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God; he shall not honour his 6 father4. And ye have made void the 5 word of God because of your tradition.

And he called to him the 10 multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which entereth into 11 the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man. Then came 12 the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were 6 offended, when they heard this saying? But he answered and 13 said, Every 7 plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. Let 14 them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. And Peter 15 answered and said unto him, 1 Some ancient authorities read and came. 2 Many ancient authorities add strong. 3 Or, surely die 4 Some ancient authorities add or his mother. 5 Some ancient authorities read law. 6 Gr. caused to stumble. 7 Gr. planting. Declare unto us the parable. 16 And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding? 17 Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they 19 defile the man. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false wit20 ness, railing: these are the things which defile the man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man. 21 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts 22 of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth 24 after us. But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house 25 of Israel. But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, 26 help me. And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread 27 and cast it to the dogs. But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' 28 table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, 1 Gr. demon. great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. And Jesus departed thence, 29 and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. And there came unto 30 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 31 the multitude 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 32 his disciples, 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 33 unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude?

And he left them, and departed. 5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to 6 take 2 bread. And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took 8 no 2bread. And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among Now when Jesus came into 13 the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? And they 14 said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He saith unto 15 them, But who say ye that I am? And Simon Peter 16 answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus an- 17 swered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon BarJonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. 21 From that time began 1Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be 22 raised up. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, 2Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never 23 be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumblingblock unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, 25 and follow me. For whoso ever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake 26 shall find it. For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for 27 his life? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render And after six days Jesus 1 17 taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: and he 2 was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. And 3 behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. And Peter 4 answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three 5 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was yet speaking, 5 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 6 disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and 7 touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And lift- 8 ing up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

Even so shall the Son of man also 13 suffer of them.
