52 Then faid he unto them, Therefore every fcribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treafure things new and old.

53 And it came to pats, that, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

5 And when he would have put him to death he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Herods birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8 Andshe, being beforeinstructed of her mother, faid, Give me here John Baptift's head in a charger. 9 And the king was forty: nevertheless, for the oaths fake, and them John in the prifon.

II And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damfel: and the brought it to her mother. And his difciples difc came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jefus.

13 When Jefus heard of it he departed thence by ship into a defert place apart: and, when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

14 And Jesus went forth, and faw a great multitude, and was moved with compaffion toward them, and he healed their fick.

15 And when it was evening his difciples came to him, saying, This is a defert place, and the time is now paft; send the multitude away, that they niay go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes.

18 He faid, Bring them hither to me.

19 And he commanded the multitude to fit down on the grafs, and took the five loaves and the two fifhes, and, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his difciples, and the difciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, befides women and children

24 But the ship was now in the midft of the fea toffed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

35 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them walking on the fea.

26 And when the difciples saw him walking on the fea they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But ftraightway 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 on the water.

29 And he faid, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous he was afraid; and, beginning to fink, he cried, saying, Lord, fave me.

31 Andimmediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didft thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship the wind ceafed.

33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshinped him, faying, Of a truth thou art the Sen of God.

34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennefaret.

2 Why do thy disciples tranfgrefs the tradition of the elders? for they wafh not their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answered, and said unto them, Why do ye also tranfgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

What deftleth man. 13 But he answered, and faid, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.

14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fhall fall into the ditch.

15 Then answered Peter, and faid unto him, Declare unte us this parable..

16 And Jefus faid, Are ye alfo yet without understanding?

17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsfoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is caft out into the draught:

8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

101 And he called the multitude, and faid unto them, Hear, and understand:

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a men; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

12 Then came his disciples, and fald unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharifees were offended after they heard this saying?

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the fame coafts, and cried unto him, faying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, faying, Send her away; for the crieth after us.

24 But he answered, and faid, I am not fent but unto the loft sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came the and worshipped him, saying, Lord help me.

26 But he answered, and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

32 Then Jefus called his difciples unto him, and faid, I have compaffion on the multitude, becaufe they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not fend them away fafting, lest they faint in the way.

33 And his difciplesfayuntohim, Whence should we have fo much bread in the wilderness as to fill fo great a multitude?

34 And Jefus faith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they faid, Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitude to fit down on the ground. 36 And he took the feven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his difciples, and the difciples to the multitude.

51 And when his difcipes were come to the other we they had forgotten to take bread.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharifees, and ofthe Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8. Which when Jesusperceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

n How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning

sees, and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Saddu

cees.

131 When Jesus came into the coafts of Cefarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do Raen say that I, the Son of man, am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptift; some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He faith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and faid, Thou art the Chrift, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I fay also unto thee, That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on carth shall be loofed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his difciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerufalem, and fuffer many things of the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

23 But he turned, and faid unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offence unto me: for thou favoureft not the things that be of God, but those that be of

men.

24 Then faid Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life, shall loseit; and whosoeverwilllose his life for my fake, hall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lofe his own foul? or, what shall a man give in exchange for his foul?

27 For the Son of man fhall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his worke
