27 And she said, Truth Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

29 *And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet, and he healed them:

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they did all eat, and were filled and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and

children.

39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. And there came 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 31 healed them: insomuch that 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.

unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, 35 and a few small fishes. And he

commanded the multitude to sit 36 down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multi37 tudes. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets 38 full. And they that did eat were

four thousand men, beside wo39 men and children. And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan. the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tempting him asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered, and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. Oye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the Prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10*Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

11 How is it that ye do not understand, that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, * Whom do men say, that I, the son of man, am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the Prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered, and John 6. said, * Thou art Christ the son of the 69. living God.

17 And Jesus answered, and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

2 But he answered and said unto them, 1 When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for 3 the heaven is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day for the heaven is red and lowring. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs 4 of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

18 And I say also unto thee, that *thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 * And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

21 From that time forth began Jesus 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 be raised again the third day.

22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee Lord: This shall not be unto thee.

23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, *There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his Kingdom.

And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this 2 rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. From that time began & Jesus 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 22 third day be raised up. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall 23 never 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 24 of men. 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 whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find 26 it. For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his 5 life? or what shall a man give 27 in exchange for his life? For

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain 2 apart: and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

3 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 * While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

7And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lift up their eyes, theysawno man,save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the son of man be risen again from the dead.

10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come?

11 And Jesus answered, and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things:

12 But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed: Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

13 Then the Disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 14

*

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

15 Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered, and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the Disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

3 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

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. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were 7 sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, 8 Arise, and be not afraid. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

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 risen from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him,

saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11 And he answered and said,

Elijah indeed cometh, and shall 12 restore all things: but I say unto

you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall the Son of man 13 also suffer of them. Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

14

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, 15 and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and 16 oft-times into the water. And I

brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 And Jesus 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 18 to me. And Jesus rebuked

him; and the devil went out Gr. from him: and the boy was cured demon. 19 from that hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?

21 Howbeit, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting. 22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again: And they were exceeding sorry. 24 ¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money, came to Peter, and said, original Doth not your master pay tribute?

And they were exceeding sorry. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay the half-shekel? He saith, Yea. And when he 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?

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the 6 greatest in the kingdom of 5 heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my 6 name receiveth me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that 7a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
