And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilce followed him, and from Judea, 3 And from Jerusalem, and from Idu mea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto bim. 9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him: 23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parabies, How can Satan cast out Satan ? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25.

ND he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 17 And have no root in themselves. aud so endure but for a time: after ward, when alllction or persecution. ariseth for the word's sake, immedi ately they are offended, 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as bear And it came to pass, as he sowed, the word, and receive it, and bring some fell by the way-side, and the forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixfowls of the air came and devoured it|ty, and some a hundred. 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: up. 21 And he said unto them, Is a 5 And some fell on stony ground, candle brought to be put under a where it had not much earth; and bushel, or under a bed? and not to be unmediately it sprang up, because it set on a candlestick ? had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to hear, leg him hear. 24 And he saith unto them, Take 8 And other fell on good ground, and heed what ye hear: with what measdid yield fruit that sprang up and in-ure ye mect, it shall be measured to creased, and brought forth,some thirty, you; and unto you that hear shall and some sixty, and some a hundred. more be given. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 T And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable. 11. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: "lest at any time they should be converted, and their sius should be forgiven them. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 25 For be that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from bim shall be taken even that which he hath. 26 ¶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is coine. 30 T And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we com 14 T The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way-[pare it? side, where the word is sown; but, 31 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, when they have beard, Satan cometh which, when it is sown in the earth, unmediately, and taketh away the is less than all the seeds that be in the word that was sown in their hearts. earth: 16 And these are they likewise which] 32 But when it is sown, it groweth The tempest stilled.

And there were also with him other little ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full, 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow; and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 8 (For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.) 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? and be answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there, nigh unto the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding. 12 Aud all the devils besought him, that saying, Send us into the swine, we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand,) and were choked in the sea 14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, aud in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 15 And they come to Jesus, and ser him that was possessed with the devil, 40 And he said unto them, Why are and had the legion, sitting, and cloth ye so fearful? bow is it that ye haveled, and in his right mind: and they ao faith? were afraid. 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And always night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High 18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. 19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not; but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath bad compassion on thee. 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. 21 ¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship un*^ the other side. muck people gathered unto him; and he was nigh unto the sea. 22 And, bebold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23 And besought him greatly, saying Blonay issue healed S.
