8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for fit is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence. 10 For hit is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon "me, because he hath anoint- Is. 61. 1. ed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preacn the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, "Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in "thy country.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

there was a man which had a 33 dAnd in the synagogue spirit of an unclean devil; and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we todo with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come

to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, fthe Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

EMt.8.14. 38 T And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 40 T Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him: and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And khe, rebuking them, suffer ed them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

ND it came to pass, that as aMt.4.18.

A the people pressed upon him Ma. 1. 16.

to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, bLaunch out into the deep, and let down bJn. 21.6. your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering, said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me; for I c2 Sa. 6.9. ama sinful man, O Lord.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also James and John the sonsofZebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not: dfrom henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 12 T And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy:

1Ki.17.18

SMt. 8.4.

13 And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will. Be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for hLe.14.4, thy cleansing, haccording as 10, 21, 22 Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: iand great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16 kAnd he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them

18 T And behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Jesus.

20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

mMt.9.3. 21 And the scribes and the Ma.2.6,7. Pharisees began to reason, say. ing, Who is this which speaketh "Ps.32.5. blasphemies? "Who can forgive 1s. 43. 25. sins but God alone?

22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering. said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thine house. 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

27 T And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company,and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for tin the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

OW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, "he entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he wouldcome and heal his servant. 4 And when they came toJesus, they besought him instantly,saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof; 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee; but say in a word, and iny servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto † one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 9When Jesus heard thesethings, he marvelled at him, and turned him about and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servantwhole that had beensick.

11 T And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, bArise. 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother. 16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, dThat a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about.

Christ testifieth of John.

18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. 19 T And John, calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Bap tist, hath sent us unto thee, say ing, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in that same hour be cured many of their infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

Mat. 11. 22 Then Jesus answering, said unto them, Goyour way, and tell John what things ye have seen bls. 35.5. and heard; hhow that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the ich. 4. 18. dead are raised, ito the poor the gospel is preached.
