damsel, Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee:

24 and he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the half of my kingdom.

25 And she went out, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? and she said, The head of John the Baptist :

26 and immediately going in to the king, she asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a dish, the head of John the Baptist :

27 and though the king was exceeding sorry, yet, on account of his oath, and of those who sat with him, he would not refuse her:

28 and the king immediately sent a soldier of his guard, and commanded him to bring his head:

29 and he went and beheaded him in the prison; and brought his head on a dish, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

30 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

CHAPTER VII.

AND the apostles came to

gether again to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught:

2 and he said to them, Come ye apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for those who came and went were many, and they had no leisure even to eat. 3 And they went away, in the ship, to a desert place apart: 4 but the multitude saw them departing, and many knew whither; and they ran thither together, by land, out of all the cities, and arrived before them:

5 and when he came out of the ship, he saw a great multitude; and was moved with compassion toward them, be- c. ix. 3. cause they were as sheep that have no shepherd and he began to teach them many things.

6 And when the day was already far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and it is now very late:

7 send them away, that they may go to the neighbouring farms and villages, and buy themselves something to eat:

8 but he answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat: and they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

9 and he saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see and when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

10 And he commanded them,

to make all sit down by companies on the green grass: 11 and they sat down in parties, by hundreds, and by fifties:

12 and taking the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before them; and he divided the two fishes among them all: 13 and they all eat, and were satisfied:

14 and they took up of the broken pieces and of the fishes, twelve baskets full:

15 and they that had eaten of the loaves, were five thousand

men.

16 And he straightway constrained his disciples to enter into the ship, and to go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitude:

17 and when he had dismissed them, he departed to the mountain to pray.

18 And when it was evening, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land:

19 and seeing them toiling in rowing, (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he goeth

walking on the sea, they thought it was a phantom, and cried out; for they all saw him, and were terrified:

21 and immediately he spoke to them, and saith to them, Be of good courage; it is I; be not afraid :

22 and he went up to them, into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves:

23 for they thought not of the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

24 And passing over, they I went to the land of Gennesaret, and came to the shore:

25 and when they landed from the ship, the people immediately knew him;

26 and ran through all that neighbourhood, and began to bring from all sides, on beds, those that were ill, wherever they heard he was:

27 and into whatever villages, or cities, or countryplaces, he entered, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch even the border of his garment; and as many as touched it, were healed.

towards them, walking on the A

sea, as if he would pass by them :

CHAPTER VIII.

ND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, went 2 together to him:

Is. xxix. 13.

2 and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen hands;

3 (for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, eat not unless they dip their hands, holding the tradition of the elders;

4 and eat nothing from the market, unless it be washed; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels :)

5 then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

6 and he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites, as it is written: 7 "This people honoureth "me with their lips, but their "heart is far from me: but "in vain they worship me,

[merged small][ocr errors]

teaching for doctrines the precepts of men :"

for, ye cast aside the commandment of God, and hold the tradition of men.

9 And he said to them, Well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition:

10 for, Moses said, "Honour "thy father and thy mother:" and again, "Whoso curseth "father or mother, let him "be put to death:"

11 but ye say, If a man will say to his father or mother, "Whatever thou mightest be Matt. xv. 5, 6.

profited by, from me, is "Korban," (that is to say, dedicated for a gift,) ye suffer him to do nothing more for his father or his mother;

12 rendering the word of God of no effect, through your tradition which ye have delivered: and many such things ye do.

13 And calling the multitude to him again, he saith to them, Hearken to me all, and understand:

14 there is nothing out of the man, that can defile him Matt. xv.11. by entering into him; but the things that go out of the man, are those that defile the man.

15 And when he was come into the house, from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning the parable:

16 and he saith to them, Are ye even thus without understanding? do ye not perceive, that nothing which entereth into the man from without, can defile him?

17 because it entereth not into the heart, but into the belly; and goeth out into the draught, even as all other foods.

18 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, is that which defileth the man :

19 for from within, out of

the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

20 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

21 all these evil things go out from within; and they defile the man.

22 And he arose, and went from thence into the borders of Tyre and of Sidon; and entering into a house, he wished that no one should know it; but he could not be concealed: 23 for a woman, who had heard of him, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately came and fell at his feet:

24 the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him, that he would cast out the devil from her daughter:

25 but Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied; for it is not right to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs:

26 and she answered and said to him, Yea, Lord: yet, the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs:

27 and he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter:

28 and when she came to her house, she found her

daughter laid on the bed, and that the devil was gone out.

29 And departing out of the borders of Tyre, he came again, by Sidon, to the sea of Galilee; through the midst of the borders of Decapolis, or, the Ten Cities:

30 and they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him:

31 and he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat, and touched his tongue :

32 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened: 33 and his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain : 34 and he charged them, that they should tell no one; but the more he charged them, so much the more they published it;

35 and were beyond measure astonished, saying; He hath done all things well he both maketh the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

c. vii. 5.

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have not any thing to

eat:

3 and if I send them away fasting to their own homes, they will faint by the way: for some of them are come from afar.

4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can any one satisfy these with bread, here in the wilderness?

5 and he asked them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven:

6 and he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, and giving thanks, he brake them, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

7 And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed them,

and bid them to set these also before them:

8 and they eat, and were satisfied: and they took up of the remainder of the broken pieces, seven baskets:

9 and they were about four thousand and he sent them

away.

10 And he straightway entered into the ship, with his disciples, and came into the Matt. xv. 39. parts of Dalmanutha, or Magadan:

11 and the Pharisees went forth, and began together to question him; seeking from him a sign from heaven, to try him:

12 and he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, No sign will be given to this generation.

13 And he left them; and entering again into the ship, he departed to the other side. 14 And the disciples had for- Matt. xvi. 5. gotten to take bread, and they had only one loaf in the ship:

15 and he charged them, saying, See, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod : 16 and they reasoned among themselves, That it was because they had no bread :

17 and he knowing it, saith to them, Why reason ye, that it is because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand? have ye your heart hardened?

18 though ye have eyes, do ye not see? and though ye have ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

19 when I brake the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? they say to him, Twelve:

20 and when the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces
