A.D. 26. WILDERNESS OF JUDEA. 18
Ministry of John.

3 N those days came John the
Baptist, preaching in the wil
derness of Judæa, and saying, "Re-
pent ye for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand." 3 For this is he that
was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
saying," ""THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING
IN THE WILDERNESS, Prepare ye THE
WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS
STRAIGHT." 4 And the same John
had his raiment of camel's hair, and
a leathern girdle about his loins; and

his meat was locusts and wild honey.

p Mar. 1,5, Lu.3,75 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the pharisees and sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, "O generation of vipers, who hath Being now justi-warned you to flee from the wrath to fied by his blood, come ?r 8 Bring forth therefore fruits" ed from wrath meet for repentance: 9 and think not 5, 9, 1 Th. 1, 10. to say within yourselves, We have Answerable to Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these s Jesus said, Ifye stones to raise up children unto Abrachildren, ye ham. 10 And now also the ax is Works of Abra- laid unto the root of the trees; thereham, Jno. 8, 39. fore every tree which bringeth not shall be hum-forth good fruit is hewn down, and shall cut down cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize the thickets of you with water unto repentance: but iron, Is.10,33,34. he that cometh after me is mightier

BETHABARA.—Baptism of Jesus. 19 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, "I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?" 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus," when he was baptized, went Jno. 1, 33. up straightway out of the water; and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him; 17 and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." 4 But he answered and said, "It is written," 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE y See De. 8. 3, BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD

27. JUDEA.-Jesus departs into Galilee. 29 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim; 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias/ the prophet, saying,

Jesus' first general circuit of Galilee.
23 And Jesus went about all Ga-
lilee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the Gospel of the king-
dom, and healing all manner of sick-
ness and all manner of disease among
the people. 24 And his fame went
throughout all Syria: and they brought
taken with divers diseases and tor-
unto him all sick people that were
ments, and those which were possessed
with devils, and those which were
lunatic, and those that had the palsy ;
and he healed them. 25 And there
followed him great multitudes of people
from Galilee, and from Decapolis,
and from Jerusalem, and from Judæa,
and from beyond Jordan.

GALILEE.

Jesus delivers the sermon on the Mount.

15 "THE LAND OF ZABULON, AND THE 5 A

LAND OF NEPHTHALIM, by THE WAY OF
THE SEA, BEYOND JORDAN, GALILEE OF
THE GENTILES; 16

THE PEOPLE WHICH
SAT IN DARKNESS SAW GREAT LIGHT;
AND TO THEM WHICH SAT IN THE REGION
AND SHADOW OF DEATH LIGHT IS SPRUNG
UP."

17 From that time Jesus began to
preach, and to say, "Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

18 And Jesus, walking" by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they imme
