'whatever ye wish that men should do to you, do ye even 13 so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Enter 'ye through the small gate; for wide is the gate, and 'broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many 14 'there are that enter through it. How small is the gate 'and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life! and few 15 there are that find it. Beware of false prophets, who 'come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are raven16 'ing wolves. By their fruits ye will know them. Do 17 'men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? So every good tree beareth good fruit; and the bad tree 18 'beareth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, 19 nor a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree not bearing 20 'good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. There21 'fore by their fruits ye will know them. Not every one

'that saith unto me; Lord, Lord, will enter into the king'dom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father 22 'that is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day; 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done 23 many wonders? And then I will profess unto them, 'I never knew you; depart from me ye that work un'righteousness.

24 'Therefore every one that heareth these my words, and 'doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built 25 his house upon the rock. And the rain fell, and the 'floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 'house; and it fell not, for it was founded on the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these my words and doeth 'them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built 27 'his house upon the sand. And the rain fell, and the 'floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 28 'house; and it fell; and great was the fall of it.' And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the 29 crowds were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

1

And when he was come down from the mountain great 2 crowds followed him. And behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying; 'Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 3 'make me clean.' And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying; 'I will, be thou cleansed.' 4 straightway his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith

And

to him; 'See that thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself 'to the priest, and take the gift which Moses commanded 'for a witness unto them.'

And when he was entered into Capernaum, a centurion came unto him, beseeching him; and saying; 'Lord, my 6 'servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tor'mented.' And Jesus saith unto him; 'I will come and 'heal him.' And the centurion answered and said; 'Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under 'my roof; but only command by word, and my servant 'will be healed. For I am myself a man under authority, 'having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and 'he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to 'my slave, Do this, and he doeth it.' And when Jesus 10 heard, he marvelled, and said to them that followed; 'Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith 'in Israel. And I say unto you, that many will come 'from the east and from the west, and will lie down ' with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of 'heaven; but the children of the kingdom will be cast 12 out into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.' And Jesus said unto the 13 centurion; 'Go, and be it done to thee as thou hast be'lieved.' And his servant was healed in that very hour.

11

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw 14 his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever. And he 15 touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and ministered unto them. And when it was evening, 16 they brought unto him many demoniacs; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all the sick; so that 17 it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying; He himself took our weaknesses, and bare our sicknesses.

And when Jesus saw great crowds about him, he gave 18 command to go unto the other side. And a certain scribe 19 came and said unto him; 'Teacher, I will follow thee 'wherever thou goest.' And Jesus saith unto him; "The 20 'foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but 'the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.' And 21 another of his disciples said unto him; 'Lord, suffer me 'first to go and bury my father.' But Jesus said unto 22 him; 'Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own

23 'dead.' And when he was entered into the boat, his dis24 ciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great

tempest in the lake, so that the boat was being covered 25 with the waves; and he was asleep. And the disciples came and awoke him, saying; 'Lord, save us, we perish.' 26 And he saith unto them; 'Why are ye fearful, ye of little 'faith?' Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the 27 sea; and there was a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying; 'What is this man, that even the winds 'and the sea obey him?'

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 29 pass by that road. And behold, they cried out, saying; 'What have we to do with thee, thou son of God? art 30 thou come here to torment us before the time?' And there was a good way off from them an herd of many 31 swine feeding. And the demons besought him, saying;

'If thou cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.' 32 And he said unto them; 'Go.' And when they were come out, they went into the swine. And behold, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the lake, and 33 perished in the waters. And they that fed them fled, and went into the city, and told every thing, and about 34 the demoniacs. And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their neighbourhood.

1

And he entered into the boat, and crossed over, and 2 came into his own city. And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith, said to the palsied man; 'Child, be of 3 'good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.' And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves; "This man 4 'blasphemeth.' And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said; 5 'Why think ye evil in your hearts? For which is easier; 'to say; Thy sins are forgiven; or to say; Arise and 6 'walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man 'hath power on earth to forgive sins;' then he saith to the palsied man; Arise, take thy bed, and go into thine 78 'house.' And he arose, and went into his house. And the crowds that saw it marvelled, and gave glory to God, who had given such power unto men.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, 9 named Matthew, sitting at the tax-office; and he saith unto him; Follow me.' And he arose and followed him. And it came to pass, as he lay at meat in the 10 house, behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay down with Jesus and his disciples. And when the 11 Pharisees saw, they said unto his disciples'; 'Why eateth your teacher with the tax-gatherers and sinners?' But 12 when Jesus heard, he said unto them; They that are 'strong need not a physician, but they that are sick. But 13 go ye and learn what this is; I wish for mercy and not 'for sacrifice; for I am not come to call righteous men, 'but sinners.'

6

Then came to him John's disciples, saying; 'Why do 14 'we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast 'not?' And Jesus said unto them; 'Can the children 15 of the bride-chamber mourn, while the bridegroom is 'with them? But days will come when the bridegroom 'will be taken from them, and then they will fast. No 16 one putteth a patch of new cloth on an old cloak; for 'it taketh its wholeness from the cloak, and the rent 'becometh worse. Neither do they put new wine into 17 'old skins; else the skins burst and the wine runneth out, and the skins perish. But they put new wine into 'new skins, and both are saved.'

20

While he was speaking these things unto them, behold, 18 a certain ruler came and worshipped him, saying; 'My daughter is even now dead; but come and lay thy hand on her, and she will live.' And Jesus arose, and fol- 19 lowed him, and so did his disciples. And behold, a woman who had had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the hem of his cloak; for 21 she said within herself; 'If I do but touch his cloak, I 'shall be healed.' But Jesus turned, and seeing her, 22 said; 'Daughter, be of good cheer: thy faith hath healed 'thee.' And the woman was healed from that hour. And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the 23 pipers, and the crowd making a noise, he saith unto 24 them; Leave the place; for the maiden is not dead, but 'sleepeth.' And they laughed at him. But when the 25 crowd was put out, he went in, and took her hand; and the maiden arose. And the fame thereof went abroad into 26 all that land.
