righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto 34 you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 71 Judge not, that ye be not 2 judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be 3 measured unto you. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam 4 that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam 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 your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened 8 unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be 9 opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will 10 give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give 11 him a serpent? If ye then,

being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? All things there- 12 fore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in by the narrow 13 gate: for wide 1is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many be they that enter in thereby. "For narrow is the 14 gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few be they that find it.

Beware of false prophets, 15 which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their 16 fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even SO every good tree 17 bringeth forth good fruit; but the 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 19 tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore 20 by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that 21 saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say 22 to me in that day, Lord, Lord,

And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus 4 saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Every one therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his 25 house upon the rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon 27 the sand and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

And when he was entered 5 into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, 6 my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And he 7 saith unto him, I will come and heal him. And the cen- 8 turion answered and said, Lord, I am not 4worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a 9 man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my 7 servant, Do this, and he doeth it. And when Jesus 10 heard it, he marvelled, 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 11 unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: but the sons of the 12

kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and 13 gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the 1servant was healed in that hour.

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a 15 fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered 16 unto him. And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with devils and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto 19 the other side. And there came a scribe, and said unto him, 5 Master, I will follow thee whithersoever 20 thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where 21 to lay his head. And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and 22 bury my father. But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

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

And when he was come to 28 the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. And behold, they 29 cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Now there was afar 30 off from them a herd of many swine feeding. And the devils 31 besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. And 32 he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters. And 33 they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and & Or, through 4 Gr. one scribe.

told everything, and what was befallen to them that were 34 1possessed with devils. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders. 91 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and 2 came into his own city. And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, 2 Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. 3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 4 This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil 5 in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, 6 and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go 7 unto thy house. And he arose, and departed to his 8 house. But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, as he 10 sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw 11 it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with the publicans and sinners? But when he 12 heard it, he said, They that are 7 whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn 13 what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Then come to him the dis- 14 ciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast

oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto 15 them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. And no man putteth a 16 piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made. Neither 17 do men put new wine into old 9 wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

unto them, behold, there came 1a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she 19 shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did 20 his disciples. And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the 21 border of his garment: for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I 22 shall be made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that 23 hour. And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the 24 crowd making a tumult, he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed 25 him to scorn. But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel 26 arose. And the fame hereof went forth into all that land. 27 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, 28 thou son of David. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, 29 Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According |

to your faith be it done unto you. And their eyes were 30 opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But 31 they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

And as they went forth, 32 behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the 33 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 34 the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

And Jesus went about all 35 the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease_and_all manner of sickness. But when 36 he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. Then 37 saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord 38 of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. And he called unto him 1 10 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.
