47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and lie alone on the land.

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

6 He answered and said unto them, 48 And he saw them toiling in row-Well hath Esaias prophesied of you ng: (for the wind was contrary unto hypocrites, as it is written, This peothem.) and about the fourth watch of ple honoureth me with their lips, but the night he cometh unto them, walk-their heart is far from me. ing upon the sea, and would have 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship passed by them. me, teaching for doctrines the com mandments of men.

8 For, laying aside the command ment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, 61 And he went up unto them into that ye may keep your own tradition. the ship; and the wind ceased: and 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father they were sore amazed in themselves and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth beyond measure, and wondered. father or mother, let him die the 52 For they considered not the mira-[death: cle of the loaves; for their heart was hardened.

54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

31 T And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an inpediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

23 And he took the blind man by the band, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.

24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

25 After that, he put his hands again AND be said unto them, Verily I say upon his eyes, and made him look up ; and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whoso. ever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to an other, she committeth adultery.

13 And they brought young chil dren to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Sulfer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
