Then understood they how that he 12 bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. & 9. 20. M*. 8. 72. Christ giveth a blind man his sight. 66 go into the town, nor tell it to any in the 73. Peter repeats his confession that Jesus is the MTM. 16. 13 WHEN Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea tist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one Acts 8.37. of the prophets. He saith unto them, "But 15 Eph.2.8. Son of the living God. And Jesus answered 17 10. Gal. 1. d Eph. 2. 20. Rev. 21.14. e Job 38. 17. Ps. 9. 13.

MTM. 16. 21 74. Jesus foresheweth his death: reproveth Peter, FROM that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that "the Son of man L. 9. 22 "must suffer many things, and be rejected of "the elders and chief priests and scribes, and M*.8.32 " be slain, and be raised the third day." And MTM. 16. he spake that saying openly. Then Peter took 22 him, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, "Get thee "behind me, Satan: thou art an 3 offence a See "unto me: for thou savourest not the things 22. "that be of God, but those that be of men." M*.8.34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, "Who"soever will come after me, let him deny himL. 9. 23.

For whosoever will save his life shall 66 66 2 Sam. 19. b Rom.8.7. 35 "lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for "glory of his Father with the holy angels."

And it came to pass about an eight days 28 after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray; and was transfigured before them: and M. 17. his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment 2 was white as the light. And, behold, there L. 9. 30 talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: who appeared in glory, and spake 31 of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and they that were with 32 a a Dan. 8. him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. And it came to pass, 33 as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he M. 9. wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 6 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud MTM. 17. overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of 5 b 2 Pet. 1. 17. 23.

Acts 3.22, their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus 7 came and touched them, and said, "Arise, and be not afraid." And when they had lifted up 8 Dan & their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 10.10, 18. And as they came down from the mountain, 9 Jesus charged them, saying, "Tell the vision to " no man, until the Son of man be risen again "from the dead." And they kept that saying M*. 9. with themselves, questioning one with another 10 what the rising from the dead should mean. & Mal. 4. 5. M". 17. And his disciples asked him, saying, & Why 10 A dumb and deaf spirit cast out. 97 MTM. 17. then say the scribes that Elias must first come? A. D. 32 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Elias Acts 3.21. " truly shall first come, and restore all things. Mal. 4.6. 12 "But I say unto you, That Elias is come "already, and they knew him not, but have " done unto him whatsoever they listed. Like"wise shall also the Son of man suffer of them." 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 76. Jesus casts out a dumb and deaf spirit. M*.9.14 AND when he came to his disciples on the L. 9. 37 next day, he saw a great multitude about them, M2. 9. and the scribes questioning with them. And 14, 15 straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him 16 saluted him. And he asked the scribes, "What MTM. 17. " question ye with them?" And there came to 14, 15 him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and L. 9. 38 saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: (for he is MTM. 17. mine only child :) for he is lunatick, and sore 15 vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, L. 9. 39 and oft into the water. And, lo, a spirit taketh M*. 9. him, and teareth him: and he foameth, and 66 18 gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and 2 convulseth. D. H 98 Jesus foretelleth his sufferings. A. D. 32. “ believe, all things are possible to him that Mr. 9. "believeth." And straightway the father of the 24 child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus 25 saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou " dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out " of him, and enter no more into him." And 26 the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took 27 him by the hand, and lifted him up; and deli- L. 9. 42 vered him again to his father. And they were 43 all amazed at the mighty power of God. And Mk. 9. when he was come into the house, his disciples 28 asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, "Because MTM. 17. 9. & 13.2.
