7 is paralytic, and badly afflicted. (7) Jesus said to 8 him, I will come and heal him. (8) The centurion replied, and said: My Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the 9 word only, and my child will be healed. (9) For I also am a man under authority, and there are soldiers under my hands, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this thing, and he 10 doeth [it]. (10) And when Jesus heard [this], he admired [it]; and he said to those walking with him, Verily I say to you, I have not found faith 11 like this even in Israel. (11) And I say to you, that many shall come from the east, and from the west, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac 12 and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; (12) but the children of the kingdom shall go forth into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and 13 gnashing of teeth. (13) And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; be it to thee as thou hast believed. And his child was cured in that same hour.

14 And Jesus came to the house of Simon,d and i. e. Simon saw his wife's mother prostrate, confined by a 15 fever. (15) And he touched her hand, and the

fever left her: and she arose and ministered to 16 them. (16) And when it was evening, they brought many demoniacs before him; and he expelled their demons by a word, and healed all 17 them that were diseased: (17) that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said: He will bear our sorrows, and our infirmities he will take upon him.

the lake.

And when Jesus saw great multitudes around e Sy. the other him, he ordered that they should go to the oppo- side, i. e. of 19 site shore. (19) And a Scribe came and said to him: Rabbi, I will follow thee to the place 20 whither thou goest. (20) Jesus said to him, Fort Sy foxes there are holes, and for the birds of heaven there are nests; but for the Son of man, there is 2i not where he may recline his head. (21) And another of his disciples said to him: My Lord,| 22 suffer me first to go and bury my father. (22) But| Jesus said to him: Follow thou me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

And when Jesus entered the ship, his disciples 24 embarked with him. (24) And lo, a great com.l

motion arose in the sea, so that the vessel was

covered by the waves. But Jesus was asleep:
(25) and his disciples came to awake him, and said 25
to him: Our Lord, deliver us; we are perishing!
(26) Jesus said to them, Why are ye afraid, ye 26
small in faith! Then he arose, and rebuked the
wind and the sea; and there was great tranquillity.
(27) And the men were amazed; and they said, 27
What a man is this, to whom the winds and the
sea are obedient!

And when Jesus arrived at the farther shore, in 28
the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two
demoniacs, who came out from the sepulchres, i
very furious, so that no one could pass that way.
(29) And they cried out, and said: What have we 29
to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of God. Hast
thou come hither before the time to torment us?
(30) And at a distance from them there was a herd 30
of many swine feeding. (31) And the demons 31
entreated of him, and said: If thou cast us out,
suffer us to go into the herd of swine. (32) And 32
Jesus said to them, Go ye. And immediately they
came out, and entered into the swine; and that
whole herd ran straight to a precipice, and plungedk
into the sea, and perished in the waters. (33) 33
And the herdsmen fled, and entered the city, and
related all that had occurred, and concerning the
demoniacs. (34) And all the city came out to 34
meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they be-
sought him to retire from their coasts.

And he entered the ship, and passed over and IX. came to his own city. (2) And they brought to 2 him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus saw their faith, and said to the paralytic: Take courage, my son; thy sins are forgiven thee. (3) And 3 some of the Scribes said in their minds, This man blasphemeth. (4) But Jesus knew their thoughts: 4 and he said to them, Why do ye think evil [things] in your heart? (5) For, which is the easier, a to 5 say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? (6) But that ye may know that the 6 Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy home. (7) And he arose and 7 went to his home. (8) And when the multitudes

saw [it], they were struck with awe; and they praised God, who had given authority like this to

men.

9 And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a mau sitting at the custom-house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Follow me: and Sy. A 10 he arose and followed him. (10) And as they

were reclining in a house, many publicans and sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his dis11 ciples. (11) And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to his disciples, Why doth your Rabbic Sy. i 12 eat with publicans and sinners? (12) And as Jesus heard [it], he said to them: They who are in health have no need of a physician, but they 13 that are very sick. (13) Go and learn what that is: I require compassion, and not a sacrifice! For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful.

Then came to him the disciples of John,d and Sy. said: Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, 15 and thy disciples fast not? (15) Jesus said to them: Can the childrene of the nuptial chamber or, guests. fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be 16 taken from them, and then they will fast. (16) No one inserteth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest that which filleth up, tear from that 17 garment, and the rent become greater. (17) And they do not put new wine into old sacks; lest the sacks burst, and the wine run out, and the sacks perish. But they put new wine into new sacks; and they are both preserved.

And while he was thus discoursing with them, a certain rulerf came, drew near, worshipped him, and said: My daughter is already dead, but come, 19 lay thy hand upon her, and she will live. (19) And Jesus rose up, and his disciples; and they 20 followed him. (20) And behold, a woman whose

blood had flowed fourteen years, came up behind 21 him, and touched the extremity of his robe: (21) for she had said in her mind, If I but touch his 22 garment I shall be cured. (22) And Jesus turned himself, looked at her, and said to her: Take courage, my daughter; thy faith hath given thee life. And the woman was cured from that very 23 hour. (23) And Jesus came to the house of the fied thee. ruler: and he saw there pipers, and multitudes

making outcry. (24) And he said to them: Retire; 24 for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they scoffed at him. (25) And when he had ejected 25 the throngs, he entered in, and took her by the hand, and the maid rose up. (26) And the fame 26 of this [thing] spread in all that land.

And when Jesus had passed from there, two 27 blind men followed after him, and said: Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David! (28) And 28 when he had entered a house, those blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them: Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, our Lord. (29) Then he touched their eyes, and 29 said: As ye have believed, so shall it be to you. (30) And forthwith their eyes were opened. And 30 Jesus charged them and said: See, that no man know [of it]. (31) But they went out and spread 31 the fame of it in all that land.

And as Jesus went out, they brought to him a 32 dumb man in whom was a demon.h (33) And 33 when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed. And the multitudes admired, and said: Never was it so seen in Israel! (34) But 34 the Pharisees said: It is by the Prince of demons, he casteth out demons.

And Jesus travelled over all the cities and the 35 villages: and he taught in their synagogues, and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom, and healed all diseases and all pains. (36) And when Jesus 36 looked on the multitudes, he pitied them; because they were wearied and dispersed, like sheep that have no shepherd. (37) And he said to his dis- 37 ciples, The harvest is great, and the laborers few. (38) Entreat, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, 38 that he would send laborers into his harvest.

(2) And the names of those twelve Legatesc are 2
these: The first of them,d Simon who is called
Cephas, and Andrew his brother; and James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother; (3) and 3
Philip, and Bartholomew, and Thomas, and Mat-
thew the publican; and James the son of Alpheus,
and Lebbeus who was called Thaddeus; (4) and 4

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who 5 betrayed him. (5) These twelve Jesus sent forth: and he commanded them and said: Go not in the way of the Gentiles:f and enter not the cities of 6 the Samaritans. (6) But, go ye rather to the lost 7 sheep of the house of Israel. (7) And as ye go, proclaim and say: The kingdom of heaven hath 8 approached. (8) Heal ye the sick; cleanse the leprous; [raise the dead;]s and cast out demons. 9 Freely ye have received; freely give. (9) Provide .0 not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; (10)

nor a wallet for the journey: neither two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy 11 of his food. (11) And into whatever city or town ye enter, inquire, who in it is worthy; and there 12 stay until ye depart. (12) And when ye enter a 13 house, saluteh the household. (13) And if the house be worthy, your peacei will come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace will return 14 upon yourselves. (14) And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your discourses, when ye depart from that house or that town, shake off the 15 dust from your feet. (15) Verily I say to you, that it will be comfortable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, rather than for that city.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Therefore be ye sagacious as serpents, and guile17 less as doves. (17) And beware of men; for they will deliver you over to the tribunals, and will 18 scourge you in their synagogues. (18) And they will bring you before governorsk and kings, on Sy. my account, for a testimony to them and to the 19 Gentiles. (19) And when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak; for it Gr. hysμóvas 20 shall be given you in that hour what to say. (20)

For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your 21 Father speaking in you. (21) And brother shall deliver up his brother to death, and a father his son; and children shall rise up against parents, 22 and cause them to die. (22) And ye shall_be hated by every one, on account of my name. But
