Critical Notes, 164-170 Index to Appendix III, 17 1 01829 INTRODUCTION. Huck's Synopsis is a German harmony of the First Three Gospels. The Greek text of the Gospels is arranged in three parallel columns, with the parallelism of every phrase and word showing in detail. In this translation, the American Revision is used instead of the Greek text. " Huck's volume is probably the best thing we have in its class." This is the opinion of a leading American scholar. Between the First Three Gospels on the one hand and the Book of John on the other, there is a wide difference in material, in purpose, and in point of view. Whether there be little or much significance in these differences, there is, at any rate, a growing disposition on the part of all New Testament scholars to study the Synoptic and the Johannine records separately. To those who ponder over these differences and their significances, this book will doubtless be welcome. It will also be welcome to those who are interested in the relation of Matthew, Mark, and Luke to one another, and in the problem of their sources. The work is based on the theory that Mark is the original document. It shows, at a glance, how the Mark and the " Logia " sources were worked together into Matthew and Luke, and also the additional material derived from neither of these two sources. It suggests the question, Why is not the material of the " Introduction" and the "Jesus Risen" sections found in Mark, nor at all in duplicate ? Often a word, phrase, or section is inserted in one column only ; sometimes there are significant omissions from one of the columns. These appear at a glance, and they always raise the question, Why? If the Mark arrangement, which Huck follows in the Synopsis, be accepted as chronological, we have an order of events very suggestive as compared with that given in harmonies of the four Gospels. The Old Testament Quotations (see Appendix) show, in tabulated form, the Hebrew character of Matthew. The Johannine Parallels suggest the question, Why does John duplicate nearly twice as much material from four chapters of Mark (xii-xv, with parallels) as from all the other Synoptic Gospels combined ? The Parallels and Duplicates raise the query, Why are these particular passages, nearly all of a peculiar and similar nature, so frequently imbedded in the Synoptic stratum ? The suggestiveness of this Synopsis to those who take pleasure in inquiry into the questions suggested above, is my apology for presenting it in English. Incident- ally, it is a reference table of parallel passages, and contains excellent outlines of the discourse sections. ROSS L. FINNEY. ANALYTICAL OUTLINE OF THE PARALLEL PASSAGES. INTRODUCTION.

I: 1-4. 1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narra- tive concerning those matters which have been * fulfilled among us, 2 even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, 3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus ; 4 that thou mightest know the certainty con- cerning the * things * wherein thou wast instructed. Promise of the Baptist's Birth. I: 5-25. s There was in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah : and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child, because that Elisa- beth was barren, and they both were now * well stricken in years. 8 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the * temple of the Lord and burn incense I0 And the whole multitude of the people were pray- ing without at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias : because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall beai thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14 And thou shah *The asterisks refer by chapter and verse to Appendix IV, page 164. 18 Mark. Matthew. Luke. have joy and gladness ; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 16 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor * strong drink ; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God. 17 And he shall * go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just ; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him. 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife * well stricken in years. 19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God ; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. 20 And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou be• lievedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled * while he tarried in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them : and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the * temple : and he continued making signs unto them, and re- mained dumb. 23 And it came to pass, when the days of his minis- tration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house. 24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived ; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon vie, to take away my re- proach among men. Promise of Jesus' Birth. I: 26-38. 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David ; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And Mark. Matthew. Luke. 19 he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art ''highly favored, the Lord is with thee. * 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary : for thou hast found * favor with God. 31 And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jests. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High : and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David : 33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob * for ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Si And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, see- ing I know not a man? ^And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee : wherefore also * the holy thing which is begotten * shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age ; and this is the sixth month with her that *was called barren. 37 For no word from God shall be void of power. <& And Mary said, Behold, the * handmaid of the Lord ; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel de- parted from her. Mary's Visit to Elisabeth. I: 39-56. 39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah ; 40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit ; 42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me ? ** For be- hold, when the voice of thy salu- tation came into mine ears, the 20 Mark. Matthew. Luke. babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And blessed is she that * be- lieved ; for there shall be a fulfill- ment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath looked upon the low estate of his * handmaid : For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things ; And holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him. &1 He hath showed strength with his arm ; He hath scattered the proud * in the imagination of their heart. 52 He hath put down princes from their thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree. 53 The hungry he hath filled with good things ; And the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy 55 (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house. Birth of the Baptist. 1 : 57-80. 57 Now Elisabeth's time was ful- filled that she should be delivered ; and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbors and her kins- folk heard that the Lord had mag- nified his mercy towards her ; and they rejoiced with her. fi9 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child ; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. m And his mother answered and said, Not so ; but he shall be called John. 61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this Mark. Matthew. Luke. 21 name. 62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called. ω And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. M And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, bless- ing God. m And fear came on all that dwelt round about them : and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judcea. 66 And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel ; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people, 69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David 70 (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us ; 72 To show mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy cove- nant ; 73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, 74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High : For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways ; 77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins, 7 » Because of the * tender mercy of our God, * Whereby the dayspring from on high * shall visit us, 79 To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death ; 22 Mark. Matthew. Luke. To guide our feet into the way of peace. 80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel. The Genealogy of Jesus. 1-17.

First Account of Jesus' Virgin Birth. I: 18-25. 18 Now the * birth * of Jesus Christ was on this wise : When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing Luke. 23 24 Mark. Matthew. to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife : for that which is "conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 2I And she shall bring forth a son ; and thou shalt call his name Jesus ; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23 * Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name * Immanuel ; which is, being interpreted, God with us. s 4 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife ; 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son : and he called his name Jesus. Luke. Second Account of Jesus' Virgin Birth. II: 1-20. 1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all *the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to enroll them- selves, every one to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, be- cause he was of the house and family of David ; 5 to enroll him- self with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. 6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her first born son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the Mark. Matthew. Luke. 25 field, and keeping, * watch by night over their flock. 9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them : and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid ; for be- hold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people : u for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is * Christ the Lord. 12 And this is the sign unto you : Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, And on earth * peace among * men in whom he is well pleased. 15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this * thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. 18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these * sayings, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them. Circumcision and Presen- tation. II : 21-39. 21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22 And when the days of their purification * according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord w (as it is 26 Mark, Matthew. Luke. written in the law of the Lord, * Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, *A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. 25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon ; and this man was right- eous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord' s Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple : and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, 28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 Now lettest thou thy * servant depart, * Lord, According to thy word in peace ; 30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples ; 32 A light for * revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel. 33 And his father and his iother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him; 34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel ; and for a sign which is spoken against ; ss y e a and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul ; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was *of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, S7 and she had been a widow even unto four- score and four years), who de- parted not from the temple, worshiping with fastings and sup- plications night and day. w And Mark. Matthew. Luke. 27 Childhood. II: 1-23. coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. 39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, * Wise- men from the east came to Jeru- salem, saying, 2 * Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to * worship him. 3 And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And gathering to- gether all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea : for thus it is written through the prophet, 6 *And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah : For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel. 7 Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly * what time the star ap- peared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child ; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and ""'worship him. 9 And they, having heard the king, went their way ; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceed- ing great joy. n And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him ; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold 28 Mark. Matthew. and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord ap- peareth to Joseph in a dream, say- ing, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee : for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt ; 15 and was there until the death of Herod : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, * Out of Egypt did I call my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise- men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, ac- cording to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18 * A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children ; And she would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord ap- peareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 20 Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel : for they are dead that sought the young child's life. 21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither ; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, 23 and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets * that he should be called a Naza- rene. Luke. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 29 An Incident from Boyhood. II : 40-52. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, * filled with wisdom : and the grace of God was upon him. 41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. ^ And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast ; 43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jeru- salem ; and his parents knew it not ; ** but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey ; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaint- ance : ^ and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. 46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the * teachers, both hear- ing them, and asking them ques- tions : 47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. ^ And when they saw him, they were aston- ished ; and his mother said unto him, * Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be * in my Father' s house ? δ0 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth ; and he was subject unto them : and his mother kept all these * sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and * stature, and in *favor with God and men. 1:1-6.

Matthew. 1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wil- derness of Judiea, saying, 2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, : The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. 4 Now John himself had his rai- ment of camel's hair, and a leath- ern girdle about his loins ; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judiea, and all the region round about the Jordan ; 6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Luke. Abilene, 2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zach arias in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins ; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, * The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hil! shall be brought low ; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth ; 6 And all flesh shall see the salva- tion of God. The Baptist's Call to Repentance. Ill: 7-10. " But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees com- ing *to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of * repentance : 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father : for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Ill: 7-9. 7 lie said therefore to the multi- tudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come ? s Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of * repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 31 John 's Commands con- cerning Righteousness. Ill: 10-14. 10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do? 11 And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none ; and he that hath food, let him do likewise. 12 And there came also * publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do ? 13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you. li And * soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse any one wrongfully ; and be content with your wages. The Baptist's Messianic Prophecy. I: 7, 8. 7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not * worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I baptize you "in water ; but he shall baptize you ::; in the Holy Spirit. I: 9-11. 9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Naza- reth of Galilee, and was baptized of John *in the Jordan. 10 And straightway com- III.: 11, 12. 11 1 indeed baptize you * in water unto repentance : but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not * worthy to bear: he shall baptize you *in the Holy Spirit and in fire : 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing- floor ; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. The Baptism of Jesus. Ill: 13-17. 13 Then cometh Jesus from Gali- lee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me ? Vo But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer -'it now : for thus it be- cometh us to fulfill all righteous- ness. Then he suffereth him. 16 And Jesus, . when he was bap- tized, went up straightway from the water : and lo, the heavens III: 15-18. 15 And as the people were in ex- pectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ ; 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water ; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not "worthy to unloose : he shall baptize you * in the Holy Spirit and in fire : 17 whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing- floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner ; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. 18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he "good tid- ings unto the people. Ill: 21, 22. 21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized. 32 Mark. ing up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him : n and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. Matthew. were opened *unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him ; 17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, * This is my be- loved Son, in whom I am well pleased. * Luke. and praying, the heaven was opened, ^ and the Holy Spirit de- scended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my be- loved Son; in thee I am well pleased. I: 12, 13. 12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilder- ness. 13 And he was in the wil- derness forty days tempted of Satan ; and he was with the wild beasts ; and the angels ministered unto him. The Temptation of Jesus. IV: 1-11 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become * bread. 4 But he an- swered and said, It is written, * Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the "pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy- s e 1 f d ο w η : for it is written, * He shall give his angels charge concerning thee : and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, * Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an ex- ceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ; 9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and * worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan : for it is written, * Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him ; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him. IV: 1-13. 1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness 2 during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days : and when they were completed, he hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, com- mand this stone that it become * bread. 4 And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, * Man shall not live by bread alone. 9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the * pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy- self down from hence : 10 for it is written, * He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee : "and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, * Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. δ And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of *the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them : for it hath been delivered unto me ; and to whom- soever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt * worship before me, it shall all be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 13 And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him : •'' for a season. Mark. d 1 Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret ; 2 and he saw two boats standing by the lake : but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. J* ^j>f 34 Mark. Matthew. Luke. 3 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 4 And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. δ And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took noth- ing : but at thy word I will let down the nets. 6 And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes ; and their nets were breaking ; 7 and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, De- part from me; for I am a sinful man, Ο Lord. 9 For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken ; 10 and so were also * James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not ; from henceforth thou shalt * catch men. ll And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him. In the Capernaum Synagogue. I: 21-28. 21 And they go into Capernaum ; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. ^And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit ; and he cried out, 2i saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene ? art thou come to destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy Ο η e of G ο d . ^And Jesus rebuked * him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him. 26 And the unclean spirit, * tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, IV: 31-37. 31 And he came down to Caper- naum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day : 32 and they were astonished at his teaching ; for his word was with authority. ^And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon ; and he cried out with a loud voice, 3* * Ah ! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene ? art thou come to destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt. 36 And amazement came upon all, Mark. insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 2tl And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. Matthew. Luke. 35 and they spake together, one with another, saying, what is "this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits and they come out. 37 And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about. The Recovery of Peter's Mother-in-Law. I: 29-31. 29 And straightway, "when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever ; and straightway they tell him of her: 31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up ; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. VIII : 14, 15. 14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her ; and she arose, and ministered unto him. IV : 38, 39. 38 And he rose up from the syna- gogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was holden 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 rose up and ministered unto them. I : 32-34. 32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were "•possessed with demons. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons ; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him". Healing the Sick at Evening. VIII: 16, 17. I 16 And when even was come, they brought unto him many " possessed with demons : and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick : 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, * Himself took our infirmities, and bare our dis- eases. IV: 40, 41. 40 And 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 demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. The Flight of Jesus. I: 35-38. 35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him ; 37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also ; for to this end came I forth. IV : 42, 43. 42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place : and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them. 43 But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also : for therefore was I sent. 36 Mark. Matthew r . Luke. I: 39. 39 And he went into their syna- gogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. a ^V\ and ye say, He hath a demon. 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking ; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! S6 And wisdom *is justified of all her children. 9 32 And as they went forth, be- hold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a de- mon. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake : and the multitudes marvelled, say- XI : 14-16. 14 And he was casting out a demon that "was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake ; and the multitudes marvelled. 56 Mark. 22 And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath * Beelzebub, and, * By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons. Ill: 23-30. 23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in para- bles, How can Satan cast out Sa- tan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 2fl And if a house be di- vided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan hath risen up against him- self, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 28 Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphe- mies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme : 29 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin : 30 be- Matthew. ing, It was never so seen in Israel. ^ But the Pharisees said, '■'■ By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons. 12 22 Then was brought unto him "one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb : and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw. 2 s And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David ? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but * by "Beelze- bub the prince of the demons. Jesus' Defense. XII : 25-32, 36, 37. 25 And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his king- dom stand ? 27 And if I by Beelzebub, cast out demons, : by whom do your sons cast them out ? therefore shall they be your judges. 28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the king- dom of God come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man f and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me ; and he that gather- eth not with me scattereth. 31 Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men ; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. s2 And whoso- ever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him ; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this "world, nor in that which is to come. Luke. 15 But some of them said, * By * Beelzebub the prince of the de- mons casteth he out demons. 16 And others, trying him, sought of him a sign from heaven. XI: 17-23; XII: 10. 17 Buthe, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; * and a house divided against a house falleth. ι» And it- Satan also is divided against him- self, how shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast out de- mons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out ? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the king- dom of God come upon you. 21 When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace : 22 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. a He that is not with me is against me ; and he that gather- ed! not with me scattereth. 12 10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him : but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be for- given. Mark. cause they said, He hath an un- clean spirit. Matthew. 36 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Luke. 57 XII: 38-42. 38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, say- ing, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he an- swered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet : 40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the * whale ; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for they re- pented at the preaching of Jonah ; and behold, *a greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Against Seeking a Sign. XI : 29-32. 29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he be- gan to say, This generation is an evil generation : it seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. 30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for they re- pented at the preaching of Jonah ; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them : for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, *a greater than Solomon is here. Speech Against Relapse. XII: 43-45. 43 But the unclean spirit, when *he is gone out of the man, pass- eth through waterless places, seek- ing rest, and findeth it not. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out ; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 46 Then goeth he, and taketh with "himself seven other spirits more evil than "himself, and they enter in and dwell there : and the last state of that man becoineth worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. XI: 24-26. 24 The unclean spirit when *he is gone out of the man, pass- eth through waterless places, seek- ing rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. 26 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh (o him seven other spirits more evil than "'himself; and they enter in and dwell there : and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. 58 Mark. Matthew. Luke. Ill : 31-35. 31 And there come his mother and his brethren ; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. 82 And a multitude was sit- ting about him ; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren? 34 And looking around on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren ! x For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Jesus' Family. XII: 46-50. 46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. 47 *And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my breth- ren ? 49 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren ! fi0 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. VIII: 19-21. 19 And there came to him hib mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd. 20 And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 21 But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it. Benediction upon the Mother of Jesus. XI : 27, 28. 27 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou did suck. 255 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Parables Address. The Parable of the Sozver. IV: 1-9. *And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great * "t multitude, so that he entered into -*-»~~- a boat, and sat in the sea ; and < ?£ Λ * β - all the multitude were by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching, 3 Hearken : Behold, the sower went forth to sow ; 4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 And other fell on the rocky ground, where it hath not much earth ; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth ; c and when the sun was risen, it was scorched ; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. "And XIII : 1-9. 1 On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat ; and all the multitude stood on the beach. 3 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow ; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth : and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth : 6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched ; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And others fell upon the thorns ; and the thorns grew up and choked them : 8 and VIII: 4-8. 4 And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable : 5 The sower went forth to sow his seed ; and as he sowed, some fell by the way side ; and it was trod- den under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it. 6 And other fell on the rock ; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it kad no moisture. 7 And other fell amidst the thorns ; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it. «And Mark. others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew. others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundred- fold, some sixty, some thirty. hath ears, » He that let him hear. Luke. 59 other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. IV: 10-12. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God : but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: 12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive ; and hearing they may hear, and not understand ; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. Application of the Parable. XIII: 10-15. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables ? u And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abun- dance : but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables ; be- cause seeing they see not, and hear- ing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, *By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand ; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive : 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hear- ing, And their eyes they have closed ; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. VIII: 9, 10. 9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables ; that seeing they may not see, and hear- ing they may not understand. "But Blessed are Your Eyes." XIII: 16, 17. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see ; and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not ; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. X : 23, 24. 23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see, ' M for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not ; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. 60 Mark. Matthew. Luke. Interpretation of the Parable of the Sower. IV: 13-20. 13 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown ; and when they have heard, straightway coraeth Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them. 16 And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straight- way receive it with joy; 17 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while ; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble. 18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word, 19 and the cares of the * world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh un- fruitful. 20 And those are they that were sown upon the good ground ; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. XIII: 18-23. 18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 19 When any one hear- eth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatch- eth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that hear- eth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it ; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endur- eth for a while ; and when tribu- lation or persecution ariseth be- cause of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word ; and the care of the * world, and the de- ceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that hear- edi the word, and understandeth it ; who verily beareth frui 1 , and bringeth forth, some a hundred- fold, some sixty, some thirty. VIII: 11-15. 11 Now the parable is this The seed is the word of God. 12 And those by the way side are they that have heard ; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. is And those on the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy ; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfec- tion. 16 And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with * patience. Encouragement of the Understanding. IV: 21-25. 21 And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand ? 22 For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested ; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. 23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you ; and more shall be given unto you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given : and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. VIII: 16-18. 16 And no man when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest ; nor any- thing secret, that shall not be known and come to light. is Take heed therefore how ye hear : for whosoever hath, to him shall be given ; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he * thinketh he hath. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 61 Parable of the Sower : Applied to the Field zvith the Tares. IV: 26-29. 26 And he said, So is the king- dom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth ; 2i and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. ^ The earth * beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. ^But when the fruit "is ripe, straightway he i; putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. XIII: 24-30. 24 Another parable set he be- fore them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field : 26 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed * 'tares also among the wheat, and went away. 2B But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. w And the serv- ants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field ? whence then hath it tares ? 28 And he said unto them, *An enemy hath done this. And the serv- ants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up ? 29 But he saith, Nay ; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. 50 Let both grow together until the harvest : and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them ; but gather the wheat into mv barn. Parable of the Mustard Seed. IV: 30-32. 30 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God ? or in what parable shall we set it forth ? 31 * It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, 32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches ; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge un der the shadow thereof. XIII• 31, 32. 31 Another parable set he before ihem, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. XIII: 18, 19. 18 He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like ? and whereunto shall I liken it ? 19 It is like unto a gram of mustard seed' which a man took, and cast into his own garden ; and it grew, and became a tree ; and the birds ot the heaven lodged in the branches thereof. 62 Mark. Matthew. Luke. Parable of the Leaven. XIII: 33. 33 Another parable spake he unto them : The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three * measure of meal, till it was all leavened. Method of Instruction by Parables. IV: 33, 34. 83 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it ; ^and without a parable spake he not unto them : but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. XIII: 34, 35. 34 All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes ; and without a parable spake he noth- ing unto them : 85 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, *I will open my mouth in para- bles ; I will utter things hidden from the foundation * of the world. Interpretation of the Para- ble of the Field with the Tares. XIII: 36-43. 36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house ; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 And he an- swered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man ; 38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom ; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil : and the harvest is *the end of the world ; and the reapers are angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire ; so shall it be in the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his king- dom all things that cause stum- bling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the fur- nace of fire : there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth 13 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, ;:: let him hear. XIII: 20, 21. 20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ? 21 It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three "measures of meal, till it was all leavened. Mark. IV : 35-41. Matthew. The Double Parable of the Hid Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price. XIII : 44-46. 44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field ; which a man found, and hid ; and * in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buy- eth that field. 4fi Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a mer- chant seeking goodly pearls : 46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Parable of the Fishnet. XIII : 47-50. 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a * net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind : 4t> which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach ; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away. 49 So shall it be in *the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the right- eous, 60 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Conclusion of the Para- bles Address. XIII: 51, 52. 51 Have ye understood all these things ? They say unto him, Yea. 62 And he said unto them, There- fore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. The Storm on the Sea of Galilee. Luke. 63 36 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side. ss And leaving the multi- tude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And VIII . 18, 23-27. 18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 23 And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. VIII : 22-25. 22 Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples ; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake : and they launched forth. 64 Mark. other boats were with him. 37 And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling. ^And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion ; and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish ? 39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful ? have ye not yet faith ? 41 And they feared ex- ceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him ? V: 1-20. *And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when he was come out of the boat straight- way there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling in the tombs : and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain; 4 because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces : and no man had strength to tame him. 5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting him- self with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and * worshipped him ; 7 and crying with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not. 8 For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name ? And he saith unto him, My name is ''Legion ; for we are many. 10 And Matthew. 24 And behold, 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 awoke him, saying, Save, Lord ; we perish. 26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, Ο ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea ; calm. and there was a great 27 And the men mar- velled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him ? The Gadarene Demoniac. VIII: 28-34. 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God ? art thou come hither to torment us before the time ? Luke. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep : and there came down a storm of wind on the lake ; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water : and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith ? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to an- other, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him? VIII: 26-39. 26 And they arrived at the coun- try of the * Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons ; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs. 20 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God ? I beseech thee, torment me not. 29 For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For ^oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters ; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts. 30 And Jesus asked him, What is thy name ? And he said, Legion ; for many demons Mark. he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. n Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine : and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand ; and they were drowned in the sea. 14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the coun- try. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass. 15 And they come to Jesus, and be- hold * him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion ; and they were afraid. 16 And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine. 17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders. 18 And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him. 19 And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee. 20 And he went his way, and began to publish in De- capolis how great things- Jesus had done forhim: andall men marvelled. Matthew. 30 Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31 And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 32 And 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. 33 And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons. 3 * And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus : and when they saw him, Luke. 65 they besought him that he would depart from their borders. were entered into him. 31 And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss. 32 Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain : and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave. ^And the demons came out from the man, and en- tered into the swine : and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned. 34 And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the coun- try. <& And they went out to see what had come to pass ; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus : and they were afraid. S6 And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was * made whole. 37 And all the peo- ple of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them ; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned. 38 But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him : but he sent him away, saying, 39 Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him. J aims' Daughter, and the Woman with the Bloody Flux. V: 21-43. IX: 18-26. VIII: 40-56. 21 And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him ; and he was by the sea. 22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the syna- gogue, Jairus by name ; and see- ing him, he falleth at his feet, 23 and beseecheth him much, say- ing, My little daughter is at the point of death : I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be * made whole, and live. 24 And he went with him ; and a great multitude fol- lowed him, and they thronged him. 18 While he spake these things unto them, beho'd, there came * a ruler, and * worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead : but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And be- 40 And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him ; for they were all waiting for him. «And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue : and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his house ; 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him. 66 Mark. 25 And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, w having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. ^ For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up ; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her * plague. 30 And straight- way Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments ? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ■ ;4 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 35 While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead : why troublest thou the Teacher any further ? 36 But Jesus, "not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the syna- gogue, Fear not, only believe. 37 And he suffered no man to fol- low with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. ^And they come to the house of the ruler of the syna- gogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly. 39 And when he was en- tered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep ? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and Matthew. hold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came be- hind him, and touched the bor- der of his garment : 21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be * made whole. 22 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 hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute- players, and the crowd making a tumult, 24 he said, Give place : for the damsel is not dead, but sleep- eth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the crowd was put forth, Luke. 43 And a woman hav- ing an issue of blood twelve years, who "had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any, 44 came behind him, and touched the border of his garment : and immediately the issue of her blood stanched. 4S And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, "and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee. ** But Jesus said. Some one did touch me ; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me. 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath * made thee whole ; go in peace. 49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead ; trouble not the Teacher. 60 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not : only be- lieve, and she shall be * made whole. 61 And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother. δ2 And all were weeping, and bewailing her : but he said, Weep not ; for she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. Mark. her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was. **■ And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi ; which is, being in- terpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise. 42 And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked ; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement. ω And he charged them much that no man should know this : and he com- manded that something should be given her to eat. Matthew. he entered in. Luke. 67 and took her by the hand ; and the damsel arose, 26 And * the fame hereof went forth into all that land. the hand, M But he, taking her by called, saying, Maiden, arise. 55 And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately : and he commanded that something be given her to eat. fi6 And her pa- rents were amazed : but he charged them to tell no man what had been done. The Widow's Son of Nain. | VII: 11-17. 11 And it came - to pass * soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain ; and his disciples went with him, and a great multi- tude. 12 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, 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 nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 1δ And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16 And fear took hold on all : and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us : and, God hath visited his people. 17 And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. The Rejection from Nazareth. VI: l-6«. 1 And he went out from thence ; and he cometh into his own coun- try ; and his own disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue : XIII : 53-58. 63 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 5i And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, IV: 16-30. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up : and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him *the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he 68 Mark. Matthew. and *many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things ? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such * mighty works wrought by his hands ? 3 Is not this the car- penter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and fudas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were * offended in him. 4 And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these * mighty works ? 65 Is not this the car- penter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, *James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas ? £6 And his sisters, are they not all with us ? Whence then hath this man all these things ? 67 And they were "offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. Luke. opened the book and found the place where it was written, 18 * The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, "Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor : He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down : and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and won- dered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth : and they said, Is not this Joseph' s son ? 23 And he said unto them, Doubt- less ye will say unto me this para- ble, Physician, heal thyself : what- soever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country. 25 But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land ; 26 and unto none of them was Eli- jah sent, but only to * Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. 28 And they were all filled with wrath in Mark. Matthew. Luke. 69 5 And he could there do no "mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. VI: 63-11. 6 And he went round about the villages teaching. 7 And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two ; and he gave them authority over the un- clean spirits ; 8 a η d he charged them 'hat they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only ; no bread, no wallet, no "money in their "purse; 9 but to go shod with sandals ; and, said he, put not on two coats. 58 And he did not many "n/ighty works there because of then; unbelief. The Mission of the Twelve IX: 35-X: 1, 5-16. 9 s5 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teach- ing in their synagogues, and preach- ing the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. s6 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were d i s - tressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labor- ers are few. ^ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest. 10 l And he called unto him 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. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, say- ing, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans: 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons : freely ye received, freely give. 9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your * purses ; i0 no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. ihe synagogue, as they heard these tilings J 29 and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down head- long. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way. IX: 1-5; X: 1-12: XIII: 22. 13 22 And he went on his way through cities and villages, teach- ing, and journeying on unto Jeru- salem. 10 2 And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labor- ers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest. 9 J And he called the twelve to- gether, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 10 1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy "others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to 9 2 And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal " the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money ; neither have two coats. 70 Mark. 10 And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence. 11 And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them. Matthew. u And into whatsoever city or vil age ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy ; and there abide till ye go forth. 12 And as ye enter into the house, salute it. 13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not re- ceive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you. It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves : be \e therefore wise as serpents, and * harmless as doves. Luke. 10 4 Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes ; and salute no man on the way. 9 4 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. 10 5 And into whatsoever house ye shall * enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6 And if if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon *him : but if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give : for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8 And into what- soever city ye enter, and they re- ceive you, eat such things as are set before you : 9 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 9 "And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 10 10 But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say, n Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you : nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh. 12 1 say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 3 Go your ways ; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Woes Upon the Galilean Cities. XI: 20-24. 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his "mighty works were done, because they repented not. 21 Woe unto there, Chorazin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have re- X: 13-16. 13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if the * mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have re- Mark.

Matthew. pented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judg- ment, than for you. 2S And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven ? thou shalt * go down unto Hades : for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 16 He that heareth you heareth me ; and he that rejecteth you re- jecteth me ; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me. Prediction of the Disciples' Fate, X: 17-25. XII: 11, 12. 17 But beware of men : for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you ; 18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testi- mony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak : for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child : and children shall rise up against parents, and * cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake : but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next : for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a "servant above his lord. ^ It is enough for the dis- ciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house * Beelzebub, how much more them of his household ! 11 And when they bring you be- fore the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say : i 2 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. 72 Mark. Matthew. Luke. Summons to Fearless Confession. X: 26-33. 26 Fear them not therefore : for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed ; and hid, that shall not be Known. » What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light ; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul : but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in * hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father : 30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. sl Fear not therefore : ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess "me before men, "him will I also confess before my Father w T ho is in heaven. ^ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. XII: 2-9. 2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed : and hid, that shall not be known. 6 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light ; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear : Fear him, who after he hath killed hath * power to cast into * hell ; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pence ? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all num- bered. Fear not : ye are of more value than many sparrows. 8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess *me before men, * him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God : 9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. Discord Among Neighbors. X: 34-36. XII: 51- 34 Think not that I came to "send peace on the earth : I came not to * send peace, but a sword. ^ For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daugh- ter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: ^and a man's foes shall be they of his own household. sl Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth ? I tell you, Nay; but rather division : 62 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father ; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother ; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law. Conditions of Discipleship. X: 37, 38. 3 " He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me ; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not XIV: 25-27. 25 Now there went with him great multitudes : and he turned, and said unto them, ,6 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, Mark.

Matthew. worthy of me. 38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. Luke. 73 Epilogue. X : 39-42. 39 He that *findeth his life shall lose it ; and he that * loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that receiveth you receiv- eth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 4l He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a proph- et's reward : and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a right eous man's reward. ® And whoso ever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a dis- ciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward. Another Preaching Tour. XI: 1. 1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities. and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Caution Against Entering Discipleship Unadvisedly. XIV: 28-33. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete ii? 23 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, 30 saying, This man be- gan to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 0r else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. -^So there- fore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. IX: 6. 6 And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing every- where. 74 Mark. Matthew. Luke. VI: 14-16. 14 And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known : and * he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 1δ But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, // is a prophet, even as one of the prophets. 16 But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen. Herod's Opinion of Jesus. XIV: 1-2. *At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concern- ing Jesus, 2 and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist ; he is risen from the dead ; and therefore do these powers work in him. IX: 7-9. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done ; and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead ; 8 and by some, that Elijah had appeared ; and by others, that one of the old proph- ets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John I beheaded : but who is this, about whom I hear such things ? And he sought to see him. The Episode of the Baptist's Death. VI: 17-29. 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip' s wife ; for he had married her. 18 For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother' s wife. 19 And Hero- dias set herself against him, and desired to kill him ; and she could not ; 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he * was much perplexed ; and he heard him gladly. 21 And when a con- venient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the : 'high captains, and the chief men of Galilee ; 22 and when * the daughter of He- rodias herself came in and danced, * she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him ; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my king- dom. 24 And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer. 25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was ex- ceeding sorry ; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat XIV: 3-12. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, 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 multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod' s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 8 And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of Tohn the Baptist. 9 And the king was grieved ; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them III : 19, 20. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, be- ing reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, 20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison. Mark. at meat, he would not reject her. 27 And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head : and he went and beheaded him in the prison, ^and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the dam- sel ; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29 And when his disci- ples heard thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. VI: 30. 30 And the apostles gather them- selves together unto Jesus ; and they told him all things, whatso- ever they had done, and whatso- ever they had taught. Matthew. that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given ; 10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. n And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel : and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him ; and they went and told Jesus. Return of the Disciples. Luke. 75 IX: 10a; X: 17-20. 9 10 And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. 10 17 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy : and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. 20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you ; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Acclamation . XI: 25-27. 25 At that season Jesus answered and said, I "thank thee, Ο Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst re- veal them unto babes: 26 yea, Father, ;: for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. Ώ All things have been delivered unto me of my Father : and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father ; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. "Come Unto Me." XI: 28-30. 2 ' Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ^Take my yoke X : 21, 22. 21 In that same hour he rejoiced *in the Holy Spirit, and said, I "thank thee, Ο Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst re- veal them unto babes : yea, Father ; * for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 22 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. 76 Mark. VI: 31-44. 31 And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile. For there were many coming and go- ing, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 33 And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there *on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 34 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shep- herd : and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disci- ples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent : s6 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 37 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred "shillings' worth of bread, and give them to eat ? ^ And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye ? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them that all should *sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hun- dreds, and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves ; and he gave to the disciples to set before them ; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were filled. 43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

Luke. 13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart : and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him *on foot from the cities. 14 And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past ; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy them- selves food. 16 But Tesus said unto them, They have no need to go away ; give them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 And said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitudes to * sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 2» And they all ate, and were filled : and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21 And they that did eat were about five thousand men, be- sides women and children. IX: 104-17. And he took them, and with- drew apart to a city called Beth- saida. 11 But the multitudes per- ceiving it . followed him : and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured. 12 And the day began to wear away ; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions : for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes ; except we should go and buy food for all this people. 14 For they were about five thou- sand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them ::i sit down in companies, about fifty each. 16 And they did so, and made them all * sit down. 16 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake ; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. " And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets. Mark. Walking on VI : 45-52. 45 And straightway he con- strained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the mul- titude away. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray. 47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 4S And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea ; and he would have passed by them : 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out ; 50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I : be not afraid. 61 And he went up unto them into the boat ; and the wind ceased : and they were sore amazed in themselves ; 52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened. Matthew. the Water. XIV: 22-33. M And straightway he con- strained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 23 And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the moun- tain apart to pray : and when even was come, he was there alone. 24 But the boat "was now in the midst of- the sea, distressed by the waves ; for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26 And when the disci- ples saw him walking .on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost ; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer ; it is I ; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 29 And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters * to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the * wind, he was afraid ; and be- ginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, Ο thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And they that were in the boat '"worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

XV: 1-20. *And there are gathered to- gether unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of his disci- ples ate their bread with "defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands * dil- igently, eat not, holding the tradi- tion of the elders ; 4 and when they come from the market-place, except they "bathe themselves, they eat not ; and many other things there are, which they have recei ved to hold , "washings of cups, and pots, and brasen ves- sels.") 6 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tra- dition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands? «And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. 7 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. 8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the com- mandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, * Honor thy father and thy mother ; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him * die the death : αι but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That where with thou 1 Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the eld- ers ? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of. God because of your tradition? 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8 "This people honoreth me with their lips ; But their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. * For God said, * Honor thy father and thy mother : and, "' He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him "die the death. 5 But ye say, Who- soever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou Mark. mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God ; 12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother; IS making void the, word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many such like things ye do. 14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand ; ls there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him ; but the things which pro- ceed out of the man are those that defile the man." 17 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without un- derstanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot de- file him ; 19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught ? This he said, making all meats clean. 20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, * evil thoughts proceed, for- nications, thefts, murders, adul- teries, 22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man. Matthew. mightest have been profited by me is . given to God ; 6 he shall not honorhis father.* And ye have made void the * word of God because of your tradition. 10 And he called to him the multi- tude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand : n Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man ; but that which pro- ceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man. 12 Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were * offended, when they heard this saying ? 13 But he answered and said, Every* plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. u Let them alone : they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. 15 And Peter an- swered and said unto him, De- clare unto us the parable. 16 And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding ? 17 Perceive y e not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught ? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart ; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings : 20 these are the things which defile the man ; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it ; and he could not be hid. 26 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a * Greek, a Syrophcenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled : for it is not meet to take the children' s * bread and cast it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. ^And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way ; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out. XV: 21-28. 2 ^And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, Ο Lord, thou son of David ; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. ^ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away ; for she crieth after us. ^But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 But she came and "worshipped him. saying, Lord, help me. 26 And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's "bread and cast it to the dogs. 27 But she said, Yea, Lord : for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, Ο woman, great is thy faith : be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. The Tour of the North. VII: 31-37.

S2 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech ; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. ^ And he took h i m aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; ^and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. ^ And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake 29 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee ; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. 3° And there came unto him great multi- tudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet ; and he healed them : Mark. plain. 3β And he charged them that they should tell no man ; but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it. 37 And they were beyond measure astonished, say- iug, He hath done all things well : he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. Matthew. Luke. 81 31 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. The Feeding of the Four Thousand. VIII: 1-10. 1 In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples and saith unto them, 2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat : 3 and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way ; and some of them are come from far. 4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with "bread here in a desert place ? δ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye ? And they said, Seven. 6 And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground ; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake and gave to his disciples, to set before them ; and they set them before the multitude. 7 And they had a few small fishes ; and having blessed them, he com- manded to set these also before them. 8 And they ate, and were filled : and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets. 9 And they were about four thousand : and he sent them away. 10 And straightway he en- tered into the boat with his dis- ciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. XV : 32-39. 32 And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way. 33 And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude ? 34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye ? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. 35 And he commanded the multi- tude to sit down on the ground ; 36 and he took the seven loaves and the fishes ; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the dis- ciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 37 And they all ate, and were filled : and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full. 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan. Signs from Heaven and Signs of the Times. VIII: 11-13. 11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign 6 from XVI: 1-4. 1 And the Pharisees and Sad- ducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from XII: 54-56. 82 Mark. heaven, trying him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

Luke. Ye know how to dis- cern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. 54 And he said to the multi- tudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower ; and so it cometh to pass. 55 And when ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a "scorching heat ; and it cometh to pass. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to "interpret the face of the earth and the heaven ; but how is it that ye know not how to * inter- pret this time ?

XVI: 5-12. 14 And they forgot to take bread ; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf. 16 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned one with an- other, * saying, *We have no bread. 17 And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither under- stand? have ye your heart hard- ened ? 1S Having eyes, see ye not ? and having ears, hear ye not ? and do ye not remember ? 19 When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many "baskets full of broken pieces took ye up ?

And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him. 23 And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the vil- lage ; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught? 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men ; for I behold them as trees, walking. ^Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes ; and he looked stedlastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the vil- lage. took up : 11 How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread?

Disclosure of Messianic Mysteries. VIII: 27-33. 27 And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Csesarea Philippi : and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am ? 2s And they told him, say- ing, John the Baptist ; and others, Elijah ; but others, One of the prophets. 29 And he asked them, But who say ye that I am ? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. XVI: 13-23. 13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Ceesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say * that the Son of man is ? 14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist ; some, Elijah ; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am ? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar- Jonah : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art * Peter, and upon this * rock I will build my church ; and the gates of IX: 18-22. 18 And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him : and he asked them, saying, Who do the multi- tudes say that I am? 19 And they answering said, John the Baptist ; but others say, Elijah ; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 20 And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am ? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God. ^UksW^^^ ^Ιλλ^-κ 84 Mark.

And Peter took him, and began to re- buke him. r:: But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan ; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

Luke. VIII : 34-1X: 1 8 M And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny him- self, and take up his cross, and follow me. 3* For whosoever would save his life shall lose it ; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it. ^ For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life ? & For what should a man give in exchange for his life? ^For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also snail be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. 9 1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power. 21 From that time began * Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22 And Peter took him, and began to re- buke him, saying, *Be it far from thee, Lord : this shall never be unto thee. 2S But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan : thou art a stumbling- block unto me : for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

XVII: 1-8. 1 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart : 2 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 Elijah talking with him. 4 And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here : if thou wilt, I will make here three * tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5 While he was yet 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 sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only. Utterances Following IX: 9-13. 9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead. 10 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean. 11 And they asked him, saying, "How is it that the scribes say that the Transfiguration.

And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen. 86 Mark. Elijah must first come? 12 And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all tilings : and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought ? 13 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him. IX: 14-29. 14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multi- tude about them, and scribes ques- tioning with them. 15 And straight- way all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked them, What ques- tion ye with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit ; 15 and wheresoever it taketh him, it * dasheth him down : and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away : and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out ; and they were not able. 19 And he answereth them and saith, Ο faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him : and when he saw him, straightway the spirit ;: 'tare him grievously ; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. 22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him ; but if thou canst do anything, have com- passion on us, and help us. 23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst ! All things are possible to him that believeth. 24 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said,* I believe ; help thou mine unbe- lief. Μ And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, Matthew. that Elijah must first come ? n And he answered and said, Elijah in- deed cometh, and shall restore all things : 12 but I say unto you that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them. 13 Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. The Epileptic Boy. XVII: 14-20 (21). 14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and say- ing, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son : for he is epileptic, and suf- fereth grievously ; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. lti And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 And Jesus an- swered and said, Ο faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you ? bring him hither to me. Luke. IX : 37-43 ; XVII : 5, 6. 9 37 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 38 And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son ; for he is mine only child : 39 and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out ; and it * teareth him that he foameth. and it hardly de- parteth from him, bruising him sorely. 40 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out ; and they could not. 41 And Jesus answered and said, Ο faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son. 42 And as he was yet a coming, the demon * dashed him down, and *tare him grievously. Mark. he rebuked the unclean spirit, say- ing unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out : and the boy became as one dead ; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up : and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, * How is it that we could not cast it out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer.* Matthew. 18 And Jesus rebuked him ; Luke. 87 and the demon went out of him : and the boy was cured from that hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? 20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith : 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. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all astonished at the ma- jesty of God. 17 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea ; and it would obey you.

Prophecy of His Own Martyrdi XVII : 22, 23. 30 And they went forth from thence, and passed through Gali- lee; and he would not that any man should know it. 31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is :? deliv- ered up into the hands of men ; and they shall kill him ; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again. 32 But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him. 22 And while they "abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be * deliv- ered up unto the hands of men ; 23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry. The Temple Tax. XVII: 24-27. 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the * half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half- shekel? ^He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Si- mon ? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or trib- ute? from their sons, or from IX: 43^-45. 43 But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples, 44 Let these words sink into your ears : for the Son of man shall be * deliv- ered up into the hands of men. 45 But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. 88 Mark. Matthew. strangers ? 26 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him. Therefore the sons are free. 27 But, lest we cause them to stum- ble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up ; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a * shekel : that take, and give unto them for me and thee. Luke. IX: 33-37. 33 And they came to Capernaum : and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reason- ing on the way ? 34 But they held their peace : for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the * greatest. 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve ; and be saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and * servant of all. 36 And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms he said unto them, 37 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me : and whoso- ever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. The Contention About Rank. XVIII: 1-5. 1 In that hour came the disci- ples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is "greatest in the kingdom of heaven ? 2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. IX: 46-48. 46 And there arose a "reasoning among them, which of them was the * greatest. 47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side, 4g and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me : and whoso- ever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me : for he that is least among you all, the same is great. The Strange Wonderworker. IX: 38-41. 38 John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name ; and we for- bade him, because he followed not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not : for there is no man who shall do a * mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is for us. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, "because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. IX: 49, 50. 49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name ; and we for- bade him, because he followeth not with us. 60 But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not : for he that is not igainst you is for you. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 89 IX: 42-48. Vi And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe * on me to stumble, it were better for him if *a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. «And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off : it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into ;: ' hell, into the unquenchable fire.* 46 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off : it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell. 47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out : it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell ; 48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

XV : 1-10. 10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones : for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.* 12 How think ye? if any man have a hun- dred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the iNow all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him. 2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes mur- mured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, 4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not 90 Mark. Matthew. ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. 14 Even so it is not "the will of ::: your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Luke. leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it ? 6 And when he had found it, he lay it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neigh- bors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 1 say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance. 8 Or what woman having ten •'pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek dili- gently until she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she call- eth together her friends and neigh- bors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10 Fven so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Fraternal Obligation. XVIII: 15-20. 15 And if thy brother sin :|: against thee, go, show him his fault be- tween thee and him alone : if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every w r ord may be established. 17 And if he re- fuse to hear them, tell it unto the * church : and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publi- can. 18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it * shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. XVII: 3. 3 Take heed to yourselves : if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 91 Concerning the Forgiving Spirit. XVIII : 21, 22. 21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I for- give him? until seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times ; but, Until * seventy times seven. The Parable of the Wicked Servant. XVIII: 23-35. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his "servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand * talents. 25 But for- asmuch as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and chil- dren, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The serv- ant therefore fell down and wor- shipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. » And the lord of that servant, being moved with com- passion, released him, and forgave him the *debt. 2S But that serv- ant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred * shillings : and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. 29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, say- ing, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. 30 And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. 31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I for- gave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me : s 3 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. 3!j So shall also XVII: 4. 4 And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. 92 Mark. Matthew. my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. The Journey Toward Judea. X: 1. 1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judcea and beyond the Jordan ; and mul- titudes come together unto him again ; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. XIX: 1, 2. 1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judrea beyond the Jordan ; 2 and great multitudes followed him ; and he healed them there. Luke. Departure from Galilee. XIII: 31-33. 31 In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence : for Herod would fain kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out de- mons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I *am perfected. 3 s Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the day following : for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. The Inhospitable Samari- tans. IX: 51-56. 51 And it came to pass, when the days "were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face : 52 and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. δ3 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusa- lem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them ?* S5 But he turned, and rebuked them.* 86 And they went to another village. Various Follozvers. VIII: 19-22. 19 And there came "a. scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will fol low thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds IX: 57-62. 57 And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds Mark.

Luke. 93 of the heaven have * nests ; but the Son of man 'hath not where to lay his head. fi9 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 6° But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead ; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord ; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 62 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the king- dom of God. The Ministering Women. VIII: 1-3. 1 And it came to pass soon after- wards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities : Mary that _g n «^ was called Magdalene, from whom « seven demons had gone out, 3 and pSjfisJ Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod' s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto * them of their substance. Mary and Martha. X: 38-42. 38 Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain vil- lage : and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. S9 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was "cumbered about much serving ; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone ? bid her there- fore that she help me. a But the Lord answered and said unto her, * Martha, Martha, thou art anx- ious and troubled about many things : ^ * but one thing is need- ful : for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her. 94 Mark. Matthew. Luke. The Pharisees' Question About Divorce. X: 2-12. 2 And there came unto him Phar- isees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, * What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them. Tor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, "and shall cleave to his wife ; 8 and the two shall become one flesh : so that they are no more two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Who- soever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adul- tery against her : 1, and if she her- self sh.vll put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery. XIX: 3-12. 3 And there came unto him "Phar- isees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause ? 4 And he answered and said, Have ye not read, "that he who *made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, *For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife ; and the two shall become one flesh ? 6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ' They say unto him, *Why then did Moses com- mand to give a bill of divorce- ment, and to put her away ? 8 He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives : but from the beginning it hath not been so. 9 And I say unto you, Who- soever shall put away his wife, "except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adul- tery : "' and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. 10 The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry. n But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. 12 For there are eu- nuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men : and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 95 X: 13-16. 18 And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them : and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indig nation, and said unto them, Suf- fer the little children to come unto me ; forbid them not : for * to such belongeth the kingdom of God. 16 Verily I say unto you, Whoso- ever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. ]6 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them. Jesus and the Children. XIX: 13-15. 13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray : and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me : for * to such be- longeth the kingdom of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. XVIII: 15-17. 15 And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them : but when the disci- ples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for * to such belongeth the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you, Whoso- ever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler. X: 17-31. 17 And as he was going forth * into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, *Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest : go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me. 22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful : for he was one that had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answer- eth again, and saith unto them, XIX: 16-30. 16 And behold, one came to him and said, '"Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, *Why askest thou me concerning that which is good ? One there is who is good : but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. 1S He saith unto him, Which ? And Jesus said, "Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honor thy father and thy mother; and, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed : what lack I yet ? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me. 22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful ; for he was one that had great possessions. 23 And Jesus said unto his disci- ples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven, XVIII: 18-30; XXII: 28-30. 18 18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God. 20 Thou knowest the commandments, *Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother. 21 And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up. 22 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet : sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me. 23 But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful ; for he was very rich. 24 And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 96 Mark. Children, how hard is it * for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God ! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished ex- ceedingly, saying *unto him, Then who can be saved ? 27 Jesus look- ing upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God : for all things are possible with God. w Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 Jesus said, Ver- ily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or breth- ren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the * gospel' s sake, so but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and chil- dren, and lands, with persecutions ; and in the * world to come eternal life. 31 But many that are first snail be last ; and the last first. Matthew. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 And Jesus looking upon them said to them, With men this is impossible ; but with God all things are possible. 27 Then an- swered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee ; what then shall we have ? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Ver- ily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regenera- tion when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, : 'or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive *a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. 30 But many shall be last that are first ; and first that are last. Luke. 25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 2 6And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved? 27 But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 28 And Peter said, Lo, we have left * our own, and followed thee. 22 28 But ye are they that have continued with me in my tempta- tions ; 29 and * I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me, 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom ; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 18 29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, 30 who shall not receive mani- fold more in this time, and in the ; world to come eternal life. The Parable of the Unjust Steward. XVI: 1-12. 1 And he said also unto the dis- ciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward ; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship ; for thou canst be no longer steward. 3 And the stew- ard said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me ? I have not strength to dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 4 1 am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. s And call- ing to him each one of his lord's Mark. Matthew. Luke. 97 debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, A hundred * meas- ures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy * bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou ? And he said, A hun- dred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. 8 And his lord commended * the unrighteous stew- ard because he had done wisely : for the sons of this * world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends *by means of the mam- mon of unrighteousness ; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much : and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. n If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is an- other's, who will give you that which is *your own? Condemnation of Jewish Presumption. XVI: 14, 15. 14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men ; but. God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomina- tion in the sight of God. Dives and Lazarus. XVI: 19-31. 19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in pur- ple and fine linen, * faring sumptu- ously every day : 20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and de- siring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table ; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he 98 Mark. Matthew. Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. XX: 1-16. J For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a house- holder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a * shil- ling a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle; 4 and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing ; and he saith unto them, Why Luke. was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom : and the rich man also died, and was buried. 23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue ; for I am in anguish in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, *Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things : but now he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. 26 And * besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. 27 And he said, I pray thee there- fore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house ; 28 for I five have brethren ; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of tor- ment. 29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the proph- ets ; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham : but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. Mark. Matthew. stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vine- yard. 8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more ; and they likewise received every man a shilling. n And when they received it, they mur- mured against the householder, 12 saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the "scorching heat. 13 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for a shilling? "Take up that which is thine, and go thy way ; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. 1S Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own ? or is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last. Another Prophecy of His Own Martyrdom. Luke. 99 X : 32-34. 32 And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem ; and Jesus was going before them : and they were amazed ; and they that fol- lowed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him, ^sayittg, Be- hold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes ; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles : 34 and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him ; and after three days he shall rise again. XX: 17-19. 17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them, 18 Be- hold we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be '"delivered unto the chief priests and scribes ; and they shall condemn him to death, 19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge ; and to crucify : and the third day he shall be raised up. XVIII: 31-34. 31 And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Be- hold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be ac- complished unto the Son of Man. 32 For he shall be * delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon: 33 and they shah scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said. 100 Mark. Matthew. Luke. X: 35-45. 35 And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee. 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you ? 37 And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? 39 And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink ; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be bap- tized : 40 but to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give ; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indigna- tion concerning James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them ; and their great ones exer- cise authority over them. 43 But it is not so among you : but who- soever would become great among you, shall be your '"minister; 44 and whosoever would be first among you, shall be * servant of t. f vY* but to minister, and to give hi s life a ransom for many. The Sons of Zebedee. XX: 20-28. 20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, "'worshipping him, and ask- ing a certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou ? She saith unto him, Com- mand that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy king- dom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink ? They say unto him, We are able. 23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink : but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give ; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. 24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 Not so shall it be among you : but whosoever would become great among you shall be your '•' minis- ter ; 27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your * serv- ant : 28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. XII: 49, 50; XXII: 24-27. 12 49 I came to cast fire upon the earth ; and * what do I desire, if it is already kindled ? εο But I have a baptism to be baptized with ; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished ! 22 24 And there arose also a con- tention among them, which of them was accounted to be '"great- est. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them ; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors. 2β But ye shall not be so : but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger ; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For which is greater, he that ' : ' sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat ? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. The Cure of Blind Bartimaeus. X : 46-52. 46 And they come to Jericho : and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great mul- titude, the son of Timieus, Bar- timreus, a blind beggar, was sitting IX: 27-31; XX: 29-34. 20 29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 3° And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, XVIII: 35-43. 35 And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging : 36 and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this Mark. by the way side. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Naza- rene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. ^And many re- buked him, that he should hold his peace : but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer : rise, he calleth thee. *°And he, casting away his gar- ment, sprang up, and came to Jesus. sl And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee ?

They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, say- ing, According to your faith be it done unto you. 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus "strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight : thy faith hath * made thee whole. ^ And imme- diately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God : and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

XXI: 1-11. !And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disci- ples, 2 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat ; loose him and bring him. 3 And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him ; and straightway he "will send him * back hither. 4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street ; and they loose him. 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had said : and they let them go. 7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments ; and he sat upon him. 8 And many spread their garments upon the way ; and *And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disci- ples, 2 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her : loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them ; and straight- way he will send them. 4 Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, 5 ! •'Τε11 ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, 7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their gar- ments ; and he sat thereon. 8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way ; Luke. make haste, and come down ; for to-day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sin- ner. 8 And Zacchceus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor ; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I re- store fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. XIX: 28-38. 28 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Beth- phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, Go your way into the village over against you ; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat : loose him, and bring him. 31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him ? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. ^And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt ? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 36 And they brought him to Jesus : and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.

Matthew. and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that fol- lowed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this ? u And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. Luke. 103 37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disci- ples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the "mighty works which they had seen ; ^saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord : peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

XI: 12-14. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered. 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon : and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves ; for it was not the season of figs. 14 And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee hencefor- ward for ever. And his disciples heard it. XXI: 18, 19. 18 Now in the morning as he re- turned to the city, he hungered. 19 And seeing *a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only ; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. Λ Call to Repentance. XIII : 1-5. 1 Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilseans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Gali- laeans, because they have suffered these things ? 3 1 tell you, Nay : but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were "offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusa- lem ? b I tell you, Nay : but, except ye repent, ye shall all like- wise perish. First Parable of the Fig Tree. XIII: 6-9. 6 And he spake this parable ; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard ; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. 7 And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none : cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? 8 And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well ; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 105 XI: 15-17. 16 And they Come to Jerusalem : and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves ; lfi and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not writ- ten, * My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the na- tions? "but ye have made it a den for robbers. The Cleansing of the Temple. XXI : 12, 13. 12 And Jesus entered into the temple *of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves ; 13 and he saith unto them, It is written, * My house shall be called a house of prayer : *but ye make it a den of robbers. XIX: 45,46. 46 And he entered into the tem- ple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46 saying unto them, It is written, *And my house shall be a house of prayer : but *ye have made it a den of robbers. Consequent Attitude of the Scribes and Pharisees XI: 18. 19. XXI: 14-17. 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him : for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching. 19 And * every evening forth out of the city. 'he went 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple ; and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Ho- sanna to the son of David ; they were moved with indignation, 16 and said to unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying ? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea : did ye never read, * Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. Utterance Concerning the Withered Fig Tree. XI: 20-25 (26). 20 And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remem- brance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 2a And XXI : 20-22. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away ? 21 And Jesus answered XIX: 47, 48. 47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to de- stroy him : 48 and they could not find what they might do ; for the people all hung upon him, listen- ing. 106 Mark. Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. i3 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea ; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass ; he shall have it. 24 There- fore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye * receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when- soever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one ; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Matthew. and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. 22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Luke. The Dilemma About John's Baptism. XI : 27-33. 27 And they come again to Jeru- salem : and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders; 28 and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? orwhogave theethis author- ity to do these things? 29 And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one "question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men ? answer me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 32=: But should we say, From men — they feared the people : 'Tor all verily held John to be a prophet. S3 And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. XXI: 23-27. 23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this au- thority ? 24 And Jesus answered, and said unto them, I also will ask you one '"question, which if ye tell me, I like- wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men ? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him ? 26 But if we shall say, From men ; we fear the multitude ; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. XX: 1-8 1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preach- ing the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders ; 2 and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us : By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority ? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a "question ; and tell me : 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men ? 6 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, Why did ye not believe him ? 6 But if we shall say, From men ; all the people will stone us : for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. 7 And they answered, that they knew not whence it was. 8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 107 The Fruits of John's Ministry. XXI : 31/;, 32. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the king- dom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not ; but the publicans and the harlots believed him : and ye, when ye saw it, did not even re- pent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him. The Parable of the Two Unlike Sons. XXI: 28-31*. 28 But what think ye ? A man had two * sons ; and he came to the first, and said, * Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. 29 And he answered and said, I will not : but afterward he repented himself, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir : and went not. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first.

The Prodigal Son. XV: 11-32. 11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of * t/iy sub- stance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country ; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country ; and he began to be in want. 1δ And he went and joined himself to one of the citi- zens of that country ; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain *have filled his belly with * the husks that the swine did eat : and no man gave unto him. 17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! 18 I 108 Mark. Matthew. Luke. will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight : ,9 1 am no more worthy to be called thy son : make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and "kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight : I am no more worthy to be called thy son.* 22 But the father said to his "servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet : 23 and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry : 2i for this my son was dead, and is alive again ; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field : and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come ; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath re- ceived him safe and sound. 28 But he was angry, and would not go in : and his father came out, and entreated him. 29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a command- ment of thine ; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends : 30 but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, "Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. 32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again ; and wees lost, and is found.

Vi I fast twice in the week ; I give tithes of all that I get. 13 But the publi- can, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, say- ing, God, * be thou merciful to me * a sinner. u I say unto you, This man went down to his house justi- fied rather than the other : for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled ; but he that hum- bleth himself shall be exalted. The Parable of the Lord's Vineyard. XII : 1-12. *And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the wine- press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 2 And at the season he sent to the husband- men a * servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruijts of the vineyard. 3 And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent unto them another servant ; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shame- fully. δ And he sent another ; and him they killed : and many others ; beating some, and killing some. 6 He had yet one, a beloved son : he sent him last unto them, say- ing, They will reverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inherit- ance shall be ours. 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard. 9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. XXI: 33-46. 33 Hear another parable : There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a wine- press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. Μ And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his "servants to the husbandmen, to receive * his fruits. ^And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first : and they did unto them in like man- ner 37 But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son. said among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and take his inher- itance. 39 And they took him and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When there- fore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen ? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let XX: 9-19. 9 And he began to speak unto the people this parable : A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into an- other country for a long time. 10 And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a "servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard : but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. n And he sent yet another servant : and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 12 And he sent yet a third : and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. 13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son ; it may be they will reverence him. M But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir ; let us kill him, that the inher- itance may be ours. 15 And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them ? 16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and 110 Mark. 10 Have ye not read even this scripture : *The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner ; ■^This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes ? 12 And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multi- tude ; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them : and they left him, and went away. Matthew. out the vineyard unto other hus- bandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. ^ Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, *The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner ; This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. ***And he thatfall- eth on this stone shall be broken to pieces : but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 46 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet. Luke. will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, * God forbid. 17 But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, *The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner ? 18 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces ; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour ; and they feared the people ; for they perceived that he spake this parable against them. Concerning Humility. XIV: 7-14. 7 And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats ; saying unto them, 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, *sit not down in the chief seat ; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him, 9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place ; and then thou shalt begin wiih shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place ; that when he hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher : then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that * sit at meat with thee. n For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors ; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. Mark. Matthew. Luke. Ill 13 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind : 14 and thou shalt be blessed ; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee : for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just. The Parable of the Messianic Feast. XXII: 1-14. 1 And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, say- ing, 2 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son, Sand sent forth his * servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast : and they would not come. 4 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner ; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready : come to the marriage feast. 6 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise ; 6 and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 But the king was wroth ; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore unto the part- ings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the mar- riage feast. 10 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good : and the wedding was filled with guests. XIV : 15-24. 16 And when one of them that * sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper ; and he bade many : 17 and he sent forth his * servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come ; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought fiye yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them ; I pray thee have me ex- cused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and there- fore I cannot come. 21 And the servant came, and told his ord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. 22 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. 2 4 For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bid- den shall taste of my supper. 11 But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a 112 Mark. XII: 13-17. 13 And they send unto him cer- tain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk. "And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one ; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God : Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not ? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give ? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why make ye trial of me ? bring me a * denarius, that I may see it. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription ? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him. XII : 18-27. 18 And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection ; and they asked him, saying, 19 Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, *If a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother Matthew. wedding-garment: 12 and he saith unto him, Friend, how earnest thou in hither not having a wedding- garment?

XXII: 15-22. 15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might en- snare him in his talk. 16 And they send to him their disci- ples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one : for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us there- fore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not ? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? 19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a "denarius. 2° And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription ? 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then he saith unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar' s ; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away. The Sadducees' Question. XXII: 23-33. 23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, * they that say that there is no resurrection : and they asked him, 24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, *If a man die, having no children, his brother * shall many Luke. XX: 20-26. 20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned them- selves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the :;; rule and to the authority of the gover- nor. 21 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God. 22 Is it lawful for ue to give tribute unto Caesar, or not ? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, 24 Show me a * denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar' s. 23 And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. 26 And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people : and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. XX: 27-3S. 27 And there came to him cer- tain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection ; 28 and they asked him, saying, Teacher, * Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and Mark. should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 There were seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed; 21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him ; and the third likewise : 22 and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scrip- tures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but are as angels in heaven. 26 But as touching the dead, that they are raised ; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the place concerning the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, * I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living : ye do greatly XII: 28-34. 28 And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning to- gether, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? 29 Jesus answered, The first is, * Hear, Ο Israel ; * The Lord our God, the Lord is one : 30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God * with all thy heart, and * with all thy soul, and "with all thy mind, and * With all thy strength. si The second is this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 8 Matthew. his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the * seventh. 27 And after them all, the woman died. 2S In the resur- rection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. M But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resur- rection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as an- gels * in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 * I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were as- tonished at his teaching. The Greatest Commandment. XXII: 34-40. 34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sad- ducees to silence, gathered them- selves together. ^And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a ques- tion, trying him : 36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 And he said unto him, Luke. 113 raise up seed unto his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and died childless ; so and the second : 31 and the third took her ; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died. 32 After- ward the woman also died. ^ In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be ? for the seven had her to wife. 34 And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this "world marry, and are given in marriage : & but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that "world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: ^for neither can they die any more : for they are equal unto the angels ; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in '■'the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living : for all live unto him. * Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. 38 This is the great and first com- mandment. 39 * And a second like unto it is this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets. XX: 39, 40; X: 25-28. 20 39 And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, Thou hast well said. 10 2S And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial oi him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? 26 And he said unto him, What is written in the law ? how readest thou ? 27 And he answering said, : Thou shalt love the Lord thy God *with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; " and thy η ei g h b ο r as thyself. ^And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 114 Mark. Matthew. Luke. 32 And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he : 33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understand- ing, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as him- self, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any ques- tion. 20 40 For they durst not any more ask him any ques- tion. The Good Samaritan. X: 29-37. 29 But he, desiring to justify him- self, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor? 30 Jesus made an- swer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jer- icho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him halt dead. 31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And in hue manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he jour- neyed, came where he was: and when he saw him he was moved with compassion, M and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow he took out two * shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spend- est more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee. 36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers? 37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Mark. Matthew. Luke. 115 XII: 35-37. 35 And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David ? 36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, * The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies "the footstool of thy feet. 87 David himself c a 1 1 e t h him Lord; and whence is he his son? And * the common people heard him gladly. The Lordship of Messiah. XXII: 41-46. 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, a saying, What think ye of the Christ ? whose son is he ? They say unto him, The son of David. *3 He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies un- derneath thy feet? 45 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? ^And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. XX: 41-44. 41 And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son? 42 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, * The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son ? Beginning of the Speech Against Pharisaism. XII : 38, 39. XXIII: 1-12. 1 And in his teachings he said, Beware of the scribes who de- sire to walk in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places, 39 and chief seats in the syna- gogues, and chief places at feasts : J Then spake Jesus to the multi- tudes and to his disciples, 2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat : 3 all things there- fore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe : but do not ye after their works ; for they say, and do not. 4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens "and grievous to borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5 But all their works they do to be seen of men : for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the bor- ders of their garments, 6 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chiet seats in the synagogues, 7 and the salutations in the market-places, XI : 37-39a, 43, 46 ; XX : 45, 46. 11 37 Now as he spake, a Phari- see asketh him to : dine with him : and he went in, and sat down to meat. ^And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before "din- ner. s^And the Lord said unto him, 20 4δ And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disci- ples, 11 46 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also ! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 20 46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the market places, and chief seats in the syna- gogues, and chief places at feasts: 11 43 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places. 116 Mark.

XXIII: 13-31. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven "against men : for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter." Luke. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye com- pass sea and land to make one proselyte ; and when he is become so, ye make him two fold more a son of * hell than yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the * temple, it is nothing ; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is "a debtor. 17 Ye fools and blind: for which is the greater, the gold or the tem- ple that hath sanctified the gold ? 18 And, whosover shall swear by the altar, it is nothing ; but who- soever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor. 19 Ye blind : for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift ? 20 He therefore that swear - eth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Luke. 117 11 a But woe unto you Phari- sees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God : but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 39 3Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. <° Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also ? 41 But give for alms those things which "are within ; and behold all things are clean unto you. 44 Woe unto you ! for ye are as the tombs which ap- pear not, and the men that walk over them know it not. 47 Woe unto you ! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. i8 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers : for they killed them, and ye build their tombs. 45 And one of the lawyers an- swering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.

XVII: 26-37. 26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise even as it came to pass Mark. Matthew. Luke. 123 40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left ; 41 two women shall be grind- ing at the mill ; one is taken, and one is left. 28 Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the * eagles be gathered together. in the days of Lot ; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they budded ; ^ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all : 3° after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away : and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 3S Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it : but whosoever shall lose his life shall *preserve it. 34 I say unto, you in that night there shall be two men on one bed ; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 There shall be two women grind- ing together ; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.* 37 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord?

XVIII : 1-8. x And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint ; 2saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man : 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, * Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while : but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man ; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, "lest she : wear me out by her continual coming. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what * the unrighteous judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, *and yet he is long suffering over them? 8 1 say unto you. that he will avenge them speedily.

Luke. Watchful Servants. XII : 37-40. 37 Blessed are those '"servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching : verily I say unto you, that he shall gird him- self, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them, s* And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 3 9*But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be "broken through. 40 Be ye also ready : for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man com- eth. and His Counterpart. XII : 41-46. 41 And Peter said, Lord, speak- est thou this parable unto us, or even unto all ? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is * the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season ? 43 Blessed is that ''servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. ** Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 45 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lorddelayeth his coming ; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken ; 46 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall "cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. Λ Servant's Reward. XII : 47, 48; XVII : 7-10. 12 47 And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many Mark. Matthew. Luke. stripes; 48 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required : and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more. 17 7 But who is there of you, hav- ing a * servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat ; 8 and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken ; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink ? 9 Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded ? 10 Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants ; we have done that which it was our duty to do. The Parable of the Ten Virgins. XXV: 1-13. 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their * lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 3 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: Λ but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slum- bered and slept. 6 But at mid- night there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom ! Come ye forth to meet him. 7 Then all those vir- gins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps are going out. XII : 35, 36 ; XIII : 25. 12 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning ; 36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast ; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him. 126 Mark. Matthew. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you : go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast : and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. Luke. 13 ,2δ When once the mas- ter of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us ; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you know not whence ye are. The Parable of the Talents. XXV : 14-30. 14 For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own "servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five tal- ents, to another two, to another one ; to each according to his sev- eral ability ; and he went on his journey. 16 Straightway he that re- ceived the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. 17 In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. 18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and mak- eth a reckoning with them. 20 And he that received the five talents, came and brought other five talents, XIX: 11-27. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, be- cause he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was imme- diately to appear. 12 He said there- fore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called ten * servants ot his, and gave them ten "pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come. 14 But his citi- zens hated him, and sent an am• bassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having re- ceived the kingdom, that he com- manded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. 16 And the first came before him, Mark. Matthew. saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents : lo, I have gained other five talents. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faith- ful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things ; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents : lo, I have gained other two talents. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things ; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter ; 2δ and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth : lo, thou hast thine own. 26 But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter ; 27 thou oughtest there- fore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. 28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. 2 »For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abun- dance : but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. so And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness : there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Luke. 127 saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. 17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant : because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. 19 And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And * another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound which I kept laid up in a napkin : 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man : thou takest up that which thou layest not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow. He saith unto him. Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an aus- tere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow ; 23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and *I at my coming should have required it with interest? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. 25 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. 26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given ; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. XIII: 33-37. 33 Take ye heed, watch *and pray : for ye know not when the time is. ^ It is as when a man, Close of the Apocalyptic Address. XXV: 31-46. XXI: 34-36. 128 Mark. Matthew. Luke. sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his '"servants, to each one his work, commanded also the portor to watch. 36 Watch therefore : for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morn- ing ; 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. S7 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. 31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory : 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations : and he shall sep- arate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats ; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the king- dom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : 3S for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink ; I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; S6 naked, and ye clothed me ; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and- ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee ? or athirst, and gave thee drink ? S8 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee ? S9 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of 34 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be over- charged with surfeiting, and drunk- enness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare : x for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Mark. Matthew. these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, * Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels : 42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in ; naked, and ye clothed me not ; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. ** Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee* hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? ^ Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punish- ment : but the righteous into eter- nal life. Luke. 129 A Closing Remark XXI : 37, 38. 87 And every day he was teach- ing in the temple ; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet. 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the tem- ple, to hear him. 130 Mark.

XXVI : 1-5. 1 And it came to pass, when Je- sus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples, 2 Ye know that after two days the pass- over cometh, and the Son of man is * delivered up to be crucified. 3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas ; 4 and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. 6 But they said, Not dur- ing the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.

And they murmured against her. 6 But Jesus said, Let her alone ; why trouble ye her ? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor al- ways with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good : but me ye have not always. 8 She hath done what she could ; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

The Anointment at Bethany. XXVI : 6-13. 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 there came unto him a woman having * an alabaster cruse of ex- ceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as "he sat at meat. 8 But when the dis- ciples saw it, they had indigna- tion, saying, To what purpose is this waste ? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. u For ye have the poor al- ways with you ; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she "poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. VII : 36-50. Mar'i. Matthew. Luke. 131 36 And one of the Pharisees de- sired him that he would eat witli him. And he entered into the Pharisee's house, and * sat down down to meat. S7 And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner ; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Phar- isee's house, she brought *an ala- baster cruse of ointment, S8 and standing behind at his feet, weep- ing, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and *kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 3 9 Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were *a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner. 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on. « A certain lender had two debtors : the one owed five hundred * shill- ings, and the other fifty. *2 When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most ? 43 Simon answered and said, lie, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. «And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet : but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. « Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to*kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much : but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him be- gan to say * w i t h i η themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins? ^And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee ■ go in peace. 132 Mark.

And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought opportunity to de- liver him unto them.

The Preparation for the Passover. XIV: 12-17. 12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sac- rificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover ? 13 And he sendeth two of his dis- ciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him ; 14 and where- soever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples ? 15 And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready : and there make ready for us. 16 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them : and they made ready the passover. 17 And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. XIV: 18-21. 18 And as they "sat and were eat- ing, Jesus said, \ r erily I say unto you, One of you shall * betray me, even he that eateth with me. 19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? 20 And he said unto them, 7/ XXVI : 17-20. 17 Now on the first day of un- leavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover ? 18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand ; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them ; and they made ready the passover. 20 Now when even was come, he was * sitting at meat with the twelve "disciples; The Betrayal Foretold. XXVI : 21-25. 21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I Lord ? 2S And he an- XXII : 7-14. 7 And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the pass- over must be sacrificed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the pass- over, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready ? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water ; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth. 11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guest- chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished : there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them : and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

He saith unto him, Thou hast said.

The Establishment of the Lord's Supper. XIV : 22-25. 22 And as they were eating, he took * bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye : this is my body. 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them : and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is )S ,-t h^riy bloo d of the * co venant , which il«*.Vj - is poured out for many . 26 Verily ^* .1 say unto you, ncegitr* j shaH nQ more drink * ^ >of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

XXII: 15-20. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer : 16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he re- ceived a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves : 19 And he took "bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body * which is given for you : this do in remembrance of me. 20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you. 18 For I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

And in like manner also said they all. XIV: 32-42. 32 And they come unto * a place which was named Gethsemane : and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray. ^ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and be- gan to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled. 34 And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death : abide ye here, and watch. 3S And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 33 But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be "offended in thee, I will never be offended. 34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35 Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disci- ples. Gethsemane.

Past and Future. XXII: 35-38. 36 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Noth- ing. ^And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet ; "and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37 For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me. * And he was reckoned with transgressors : for that which concerneth me hath "fulfilment. ^ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. XXII : 39-46. 39 And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives ; and the disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was parted from them about a stone's cast ; and he kneeled down and prayed, 42 saying, Father, if thou be willing, re- move this cup from me : neverthe- Mark. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee ; remove this cup from me : howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ? couldest thou not watch one hour? 38 * Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation : the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, saying he same words. 40 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy ; and they knew not what to answer him. 41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest : it is enough ; the hour is come ; be- hold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Arise, let us be going : Behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand. XIV: 43-52. 43 And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he ; take him, and lead him away safely. 45 And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi ; and * kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him, and took him.

Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed ? 62 And Jesus said, I am : and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and com- ing with the clouds of heaven. 63 And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses ? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy : what think ye ?

Peter's Denial. XXVI: 69-75. 68 Now Peter was sitting without in the court : and a maid came un- to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilrean. 70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71 And when he was gone out into the porch, 66 And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying, 67 If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe : ^and if I ask you, ye will not answer. 69 But from hence- forth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 70 And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God ? And he said, unto them, <: Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we our- selves have heard from his own mouth. 63 And the men that held "Jesus mocked him, and beat him. 64 And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy : who is he that struck thee ? ^ And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.

And immediately while he yet spake the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And he went out, and wept bitterly. Delivery of the Prisoner to Pilate. XV : 1. 1 And straightway in the morn- ing the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. XXVII : 1, 2. 1 Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death : 2 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor. Tlie Fate of Judas. XXVII : 3-10. " Then Judas, who * betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed '"'innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. δ And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanc- tuary, and departed ; and he went away and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the * treasury, since it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wh ere fore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfill- ed that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, * And * they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that XXIII : 1. *And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate. Mark. XV : 2-5. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Matthew. was priced, "whom certain of the children of Israel did price; 10 and * they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. Christ Before Pilate. XXVII : 11-14. 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor : and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he w a s accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee ? 14 And he gave him no answer, not even to one word : insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. Luke. 139 XXIII : 2-5. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man per- verting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king. s And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest. 4 And Pi- late said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. 5 But they were the more urgent, saying. He stirreth up the people, teaching through- out all Judaea, and beginning from Gallilee even unto this place. Pilate and Herod. XXIII: 6-16. 6 But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilamn. 7 And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdic- tion, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad : for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard con- cerning him ; and he hoped to see some * miracle done by him. 9 And he questioned him in many words ; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. n And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. u And Herod and Pilate 140 Mark. Matthew. Luke. became friends with each other that very day : for before they were at enmity between themselves. 13 And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, u and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people : and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things where- of ye accuse him : 15 no, nor yet Herod : for *he sent him back unto us ; and behold nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. 1β I will therefore chas- tise him and release him.* XV : 6-15. 6 Now at * the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. K And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. 9 And Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I re- lease unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 And Pilate said unto them, Jesus and Barabbas. XXVII : 15-26. 15 Now at "the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would. 1,5 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I re- lease unto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ls For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. 19 And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man ; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. - 1 But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you ? And they said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ ? They all say, Let him be crucified. ^And he said, XXIII: (17) : 18-25. Why, what evil hath he done ? ' Whv, what evil hath he done? 18 T:Sut they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas : — ly one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. 20 And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus ; 21 but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them a third time, Whv, what evil hath this man done? Mark. But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. Matthew. But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands be- fore the multitude, saying, I am innocent *of the blood of this righteous man ; see ye to it. 26 And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he unto them Barabbas ; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified. Luke. 141 Mocking "the King of the Jews." XV: 16-20. 16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the * Prsetorium ; and they call to- gether the whole * band. 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him ; 18 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees :? worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him. XXVII: 27-31. 27 Then the soldiers of the gov- ernor took Jesus into the *Prcetorium, and gathered unto him the whole ::: band. 28 And they * stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand ; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews ! so And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him. I have found no cause of death in him : I will therefore chastise him and release him. - rj But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done. 2 s And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

XXVII: 33-44. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, 34 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall : and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots ; 3B and they sat and watched him there. 37 And they set up over his head his accusation written, This is Jesus the King of the Jews. 38 Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

Then Pilate commanded it to be given up. 59 And Joseph took the body, and 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 tomb, and departed. 61 And Mary Mag- dalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

Luke. 145 XXIV: 1-11(12). 1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body * of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, while they were perplexed there- about, behold, two men stood by 146 Mark. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not amazed : ye seek Tesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified : he is risen ; he is not here : beiold, the place where they laid him ! wW^Jr 7 But go, tell his &o* VP disciples and Peter , He goeth be fore you into Galilee : there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And they went out, and fled from the tomb : for trembling and astonishment had come upon them : and they said nothing to any one ; for they were afraid. Matthew. fi And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye ; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. 6 He is not here ; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place * where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead ; and lo, he goeth be- fore you into Galilee ; there shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and * worshipped him. 10 Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not : go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me. The Fraud of the Priests and Elders. XXVIII : 11-15. 11 Now, while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, Luke. them in dazzling apparel : 5 and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye *the living among the dead ? 6 * He is not here, but is risen : remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returned * from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 Now they were Mary Magda- lene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James : and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles. u And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk ; and they disbelieved them. (Some ancient authorities omit ver. i2.) 12 *But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb ; and stooping and look- ing in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves ; and he * departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass. Mark. Matthew. they gave much money unto the soldiers, 1S saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this *come to the governor's ears, we will persude him, and rid you of care. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught : and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day. Luke. 147 The Walk to Emmaus. XXIV: 13-35. 13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a vil- lage named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusa- lem. "And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened. J5 And it came to pass, while they commun- ed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. w But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. "And he said unto them, *What communications are these that ye have one with anoth- er, as ye walk ? And they stood still, looking sad. i» And one ot them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, * Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days ? J 9 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Naza- rene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people : 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers deliv- ered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. 22 Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, hav- ing been early at the tomb ; ω and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them that were with as went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said : 148 Mark. Matthew. Luke. but him they saw not. M And he said unto them, Ο foolish men, and slow of heart to believe* in all that the prophets have spoken ! 26 Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory ? & And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. ^ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going : and he made as though he would go further. w And they constrained him, say- ing, Abide with us ; for it is to- ward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 3° And it came to pass, wheh he had sat down with them to meat, he took the * bread and blessed ; and breaking it he gave to them. 81 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him ; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Was not our heart burn- ing within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures ? ^ And they rose up that very hour, and re- turned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, S4 say- ing, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. ^ And they rehearsed the things that hap- pened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread. The Appearance In Jeru- salem. XXIV : 36-43. 36 And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, ::i and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and sup- posed that they had beheld a spirit. 88 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart ? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. 40 *And when he had Mark. Matthew. Luke. 149 The Appearance in Galilee XXVIII : 16-20. 16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they * worshipped him ; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, say- ing, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and make dis- ciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit : 20 teaching them to ob- serve all things whatsoever I com- manded you : and lo, I am with you * always, even unto * the end of the world. said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat ? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish*. 43 And he took it, and ate before them. Final Address of the Risen Jesus. XXIV : 44-49. 44 And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be ful- filled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. 44 Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; 46 and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day ; 47 and that repentance * and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the * nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 Ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. 150 Mark. Matthew. Supplementary Conclusion XVI : 9-20. (The two oldest Greek manuscripts, and some other authorities, omit from ver. 9 to the end. Some other author- ities have a different ending to the Gospel.) 9 * Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magda- lene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. n And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, disbelieved. 12 And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country. 13 And they went away and told it unto the rest : neither believed they them. 14 And afterward he was mani- fested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat ; and he up- braided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the * gospel to the whole creation. ]6 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe : in my name shall they cast out demons ; they shall speak with *new tongues ; 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them ; they shall lay Luke. The Ascension. XXIV: 50-53. 40 And he led them out until they were over against Bethany : and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. fil And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, * and was car- ried up into heaven. 62 And they * worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy : ω and were continually in the temple, blessing God. Mark. hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them was re- ceived up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirm- ing the word by the signs that followed.

Matthew xvi : I, 2, 4. 38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet : *And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and try- him asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 But he answered and said unto them, 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. Luke xi : 29. 29 And when the multi- tudes were gathering to- gether unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation : it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
