Son of God. 55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. CHAPTER XXVIII. 57 When the even was come, there IN the end of the sabbath, as it came a rich man of Arimathæa, named began to dawn toward the first day Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' of the week, came Mary Magdalene disciple: and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was 62 ¶ Now the next day, that fol-crucified. lowed the day of the preparation, the 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as 52 S* om.

And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. 16 ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 T Go ye therefore, and teach all II Now when they were going, nations, baptizing them in the name behold, some of the watch came into of the Father, and of the Son, and of the city, and shewed unto the chief the Holy Ghost: priests all the things that were done. 20 Teaching them to observe all 12 And when they were assembled things whatsoever I have commanded with the elders, and had taken coun-you: and, lo, I am with you alway, sel, they gave large money unto the even unto the end of the world. soldiers, 6 SV where he lay brethren 12 S* with the unto 14 SV om. him 20 SVA* om.

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. IO And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove 3 The voice of one crying in the descending upon him: wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the II And there came a voice from Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. 29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. 35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 18 SV the nets 19 S* om. a little, V om. thence 21 SV Capharnaum; S on the sabb. day he taught in the synagogue 23 SV And straightway there was 24 S*V om.

CHAPTER II. AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things 8 And immediately when Jesus perwhich Moses commanded, for a testi-ceived in his spirit that they so reamony unto them. soned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 37 SV And they found him, and say 38 SV Let us go elsewhere into the next towns 39 S* And he came to preach, S2V And he came preaching 40 V om. and kneeling down to him and, Som. to him; V Lord, if thou wilt 41 SV And he moved; S om. unto him 42 SV om. as soon as he had spoken 44 SA om. nothing 2,1 SV And when he entered again into Capharnaum after some days, it was noised 2 SV om. straightway 3 SV they come bringing unto him one sick 4 SV not bring him unto him 5 S* My son; SV om. thee 7 SV Why doth this man thus speak?
