15" Beware of false prophets, who come to you in garments of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns; or figs from thistles? 17 In like manner every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit; nor a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire. 20

14 AND Jesus coming into Peter's house, saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever. 15 And having touched her hand, the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 Now when evening was come, they brought to him many demoniacs: and he expelled the spirits with a word, and cured all the sick: 17 Thus verifying the saying of the prophet Isaiah," He took away our infirmities, and removed our diseases."

18 BUT Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to depart to the opposite shore. 19 And a certain scribe coming, said to him, " Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest." 20 And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter: but the Son of man hath not where to rest his head." 21 And another of his disciples said to him, "Sir, suffer me first to go and bury my father." 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."

28 AND when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming out of the tombs very fierce, so that no one could pass along by that way. 29 And, lo, they cried out, saying, "What hast thou to do with us, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" 30 Now there was at some distance from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons besought him saying, "If thou cast us out, send us into the herd of swine." 32 And he said to them, "Go." And when they were come out, they went into the swine: and, lo, the whole herd ran violently down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33 And the herdsmen fled, and went away into the city, and reported all this; and what had happened to the demoniacs. 34 And, lo, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and having seen him, they besought him to depart out of their territory.

23 AND when he had gone into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came and awoke him, say-him a paralytic, lying on a bed: ing, "Master, save us: we per- and Jesus seeing their faith, ish." 26 And he said to them, said to the paralytic, "Son, take Why are ye fearful, O ye of courage; thy sins are forgiven little faith?"

selves, "This man blasphemeth." 4 But Jesus perceiving their thoughts, said, "Why think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier? to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee?" or to say, 'Arise and walk?' 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins," (then he said to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go home." 7 Accordingly he arose, and went to his house. 8 And the multitudes seeing this, wondered, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then they will fast. 16 Now no one putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment: for the piece which filleth it up taketh from the garment and a worse rent is made. 17 Nor do men put new wine into old leathern bottles: otherwise, the bottles burst, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles are destroyed: but new wine is put into new bottles, and both are preserved together."

18 WHILE he spake these things to them, lo, a certain ruler came and did him obeisance, saying, "My daughter is by this time dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will revive. 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, with his disciples. 20 (And, lo, a woman, who had been diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the tuft of his mantle: 21 for she said within herself, "If I may but touch his mantle, I shall be restored." 22 But Jesus turned about, and observing her, he said, "Take courage, daughter; thy faith hath

9 AND Jesus going on from thence, saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the toll-office; and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him. 10 And it came to pass while Jesus was at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and placed themselves with him and his disciples. 11 And the Pharisees observing it, said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?" 12 But Jesus hearing it, said [to them], "The whole need not a physician, but the sick. 13 But go ye, learn what that meaneth, I will have mer-cured thee."
