53 T And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 54'And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works! 55 is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary (and 'his brethren, "James, andJoses,and Simon,and Judas! all with us?

3 TbFor Herod had laid hold onJohn, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

4 For John said unto him, "It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the mul titude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

10 And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel and she brought it to her mother.

12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

13 "When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 15 T And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither

to me.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22 T And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

28 And Peter answered himand said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth "thou art the Son of God.

34 T" And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that coun try round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and "as many as touched were made perfectly whole. CHAPTER XV.

22 And behold, a woman of Canaan cameoutofthe same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

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.

CHAPTER XVL

The Pharisees require a sign, 1. 6 Jesus warneth his disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 13 The people's opinion of Christ, 16 and Peter's confession of him. 21 Jesus foresheweth his death, 23 reproving Peter for dissuading him from it: 24 and admonisheth those that will follow him, to bear the cross. THE Pharisees also with the Sadducees came,and,tempt Lu. 11.16 ing, desired him that he would &12.54-shew them a sign from heaven. 56.1Co.1. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send heraway; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worship-8. ped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eatofthe crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: beit unto thee even!

13 "Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

14 TAnd 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 lunatic, and sore vexed, for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure hiin.

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 hin out?

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: 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. 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.
