COMPILER'S PREFACE, 
 
 "\ 1 TE know from blessed experience that many dear peo- 
 ple looking, at first, only with curious eyes at the 
 pictured incidents of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ upon 
 the earth, have afterwards come to gaze with tearful eyes 
 at the same — their hearts the while full of joy — they having 
 become assured of the forgiveness of their sins, and of 
 having received the gift of eternal life. 
 
 This knowledge, gained during the last two years in 
 our efforts to bring men, women and children to the loving 
 Saviour by appealing to their hearts through their sense of 
 sight as well as through their sense of hearing, led us to 
 think and conclude that a judicious selection from the pic- 
 tures thus presented — say, one hundred of them suitably 
 reproduced — would effectively serve the sacred purpose of 
 illustrating a new life of our Lord, — to be compiled 
 from the i-eviscd version of the writings of the four 
 evangelists. 
 
 In this way, we thought, an appeal to the heart through

 the eye, could be made far beyond our own or anybody's 
 personal superintendence — even to the remotest parts of 
 our land— if God should be pleased to prosper the enter- 
 prise. 
 
 With the assistance of a Christian brother we have now 
 completed a work so projected; its distinctive features 
 being, 
 
 First — The Illustrations. 
 
 Second — The fact that the reading-matter has been com- 
 piled entirely from the writings of the four evangelists 
 according to the Revised Version. 
 
 Third — The additional fact that in deference to the as 
 yet prevailing prejudice against the paragraphic form of 
 the composition of the Revised Version, verses distinct and 
 separate have been made of the matter gathered therefrom ; 
 so that the pages of the new book should resemble the more 
 familiar pages of the unrevised version of the same blessed 
 truths. 
 
 And now we send the book forth, such as it is, praying 
 God to make it to many a re-enjoyment of the " Stereopti- 
 con Illustrated Readings of the Life of Jesus ;" 
 
 To many, a delightful reminder of the blessed hour when 
 the very words and pictures on the pages before them 
 influenced them, in some degree at least, to give their hearts 
 and devote their lives to God ; 
 
 And especially beseeching Him that by His providence it 
 may fall into the hands of some who looked with curious eyes

 only, and went their way with their hearts unaffected ; and 
 that He may lead such to a perusal of the sacred story with 
 its illustrations in the quiet of their own homes; and so, 
 after all, His spirit moving their hearts and minds, they be 
 "brought to true repentance and into that peace which pass- 
 eth all understanding. 
 
 And as Christ said to his disciples, "Ask what ye will," 
 we pray God that through the effort we have made in this 
 way to serve the blessed Master, multitudes even may find 
 the only real happiness possible in this world of sin and 
 sorrow, and finally enter into the everlasting joy of the 
 Christian's world to come. 
 
 The illustrations consist of original drawings by C. P. 
 Davis, E. J. Whitney, and August Wills, and copies of pic- 
 tures by Bida, Heck, Hofman, Hunt, Munkacsy, Miiller, 
 Plockhurst, Raphael, Paul Veronese, De \'inci, and other 
 masters in sacred art.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 AFTER looking carefully into the plan and the pages 
 of this book, fittingly called The Earthly Foot- 
 prints OF OUR Risen Lord, I am happy to commend 
 it, for reasons, among others, like the following. 
 
 One of the evidences of Divine wisdom in the structure 
 of the Bible is the extent to which its teaching is presented 
 in history. Facts are noticed and remembered more easily 
 than abstract statements. The historic facts of the inspired 
 records stand out as object-lessons for all lands and for all 
 times. 
 
 On the same principle it is that persons readily arrest 
 attention, and gain a place in the thought of observer and 
 of reader. With what distinctness do the men and women 
 of holy Scripture stand out before us I It is not to be won- 
 dered at that preachers and .teachers have so frequently 
 and effectively grouped the great truths they meant to 
 enforce around " Scripture Characters." 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 These statements are emphatically true of the Gospels— 
 that portion of the written word in which the " Word made 
 flesh" is presented to men from several distinct points of 
 view. He in His grace and loveliness, stands forth, the 
 Central figure, giving interest and significance to the per- 
 sons coming around Him, whether as disciples or as ene- 
 mies, and suggesting pictures which the mind cannot but 
 try to shape for itself. We think of the " holy child Jesus," 
 the home in which He lived, the boat on the lake in which 
 He was so often carried, the garden trees under which He 
 prayed, the cross on which He gave His life, the grave 
 from which He came forth. To render these memory-pict- 
 ures distinct and definite, is an important contribution to 
 Christian intelligence. This contribution the compiler has 
 made. 
 
 Nor are we to overlook the fact that travel. Oriental 
 research and the study of ancient monuments — so many of 
 which corroborate Bible history — make it easier than it 
 once was, to secure illustrations that will be true to the 
 truth of things. The dress, the homes, the furniture, the 
 surroundings of the Orientals two thousand years ago, are 
 now matters of definite knowledge, and of comparatively 
 easy reproduction. One can see the results in such works 
 as Smith's " Dictionary of the Bible," or in a good modern 
 encyclopaedia. Here they are made to throw light upon 
 a life, like which the world never saw another. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The effort to utilize this method of giving interest and 
 distinctness to Scripture scenes and incidents will, we 
 doubt not, be successful with many, both young and old, 
 and will extend and deepen the knowledge of Gospel his- 
 tory. Pictures have been turned into helps to prayer till 
 they became, all too often, the objects of devotional 
 regard; but this has been by those who had not the Divine 
 word in their hands. Illustrations, such as are here pre- 
 sented, draw to the reading and knowledge of the Word, 
 and the Word folds " God as a spirit," and teaches men to 
 " worship Him in spirit and in truth," and for fitting and 
 needed help to seek the Spirit of grace and of supplications. 
 A preacher labors to fix human attention on Christ Jesus. 
 This work will be a help in this high, this divinely-ap- 
 pointed labor.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 THE PROLOGUE. 
 
 IN the beginning was the 
 Word, and the Word was 
 with God, and the Word was 
 God. 
 
 2 The same was in the be- 
 ginning with God. 
 
 3 All things were made by 
 him; and without him was 
 not anything made that hath 
 been made. 
 
 4 In him was life ; and the 
 life was the light of men. 
 
 5 And the light shineth in 
 the darkness; and the dark- 
 ness apprehended it not. 
 
 6 There came a man, sent 
 from God, whose name was 
 John. 
 
 7 The same came for wit- 
 ness, that he might bear wit- 
 ness of the light, that all 
 might believe through him. 
 
 8 He was not the light, 
 but came that he might bear 
 witness of the light. 
 
 9 There was the true light, 
 even the light which lighteth 
 every man, coming into the 
 world. 
 
 ID He was in the world, 
 and the world was made by 
 him, and the world knew him 
 not. 
 
 1 1 He came unto his own. 
 and they that were his own 
 received him not. 
 
 1 2' But as many as receiv- 
 ed him, to them gave he the 
 right to become children of 
 
10 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 God, even to them that loe- 
 lieve on his name : 
 
 13 Which were born, not 
 of blood, nor of the will of 
 the flesh, nor of the will of 
 man, but of God. 
 
 14 And the Word became 
 flesh, and dwelt among us 
 (and we beheld his glory, 
 glory as of the only begotten 
 from the Father), full of 
 grace and truth. 
 
 1 5 John beareth witness of 
 him, and crieth, saying, This 
 was he of whom I said. He 
 that Cometh after me is be- 
 come before me : for he was 
 before me. 
 
 1 6 For of his fulness we all 
 received, and grace for grace. 
 
 17 For the law was given 
 b}^ Moses; grace and truth 
 came by Jesus Christ. 
 
 18 No man hath seen God 
 at any time ; the only begot- 
 ten Son, which is in the 
 bosom of the Father, he hath 
 declared him. 
 
 THE BAPTIST FORETOLD. 
 October, B. C. 6. 
 
 19 There was in the days 
 of Herod, king of Judaea, a 
 
 certain priest named Zacha- 
 rias, of the course of Abijah : 
 and he had a wife of the 
 daughters of Aaron, and her 
 name was Elisabeth. 
 
 20 And they were both 
 righteous before God, walk- 
 ing in all the commandments 
 and ordinances of the Lord 
 blameless. 
 
 21 And they had no child, 
 because that Elisabeth was 
 barren, and they both were 
 notv well stricken in years. 
 
 22 Now it came to pass, 
 while he executed the 
 priest's office before God in 
 the order of his course, 
 
 23 According to the cus- 
 tom of the priest's office, his 
 lot was to enter into the 
 temple of the Lord and burn 
 incense. 
 
 24 And the whole multi- 
 tude of the people were pray- 
 ing without at the hour of 
 incense. 
 
 25 And there appeared un- 
 to him an angel of the Lord 
 standing on the right side of 
 the altar of incense. 
 
 26 And Zacharias was 
 
Zacharias and the Angel.

 troubled when he saw //////, 
 and fear fell upon him. 
 
 27 But the angel said unto 
 him, Fear not, Zacharias: 
 because thy supplication is 
 heard, and thy wife Elisa- 
 beth shall bear thee a son, 
 and thou shalt call his name 
 John. 
 
 28 And thou shalt have joy 
 and gladness; and many 
 shall rejoice at his birth. 
 
 29 For he shall be great 
 in the sight of the Lord, and 
 he shall drink no wine nor 
 strong drink; and he shall 
 be filled with the Holy 
 Ghost, even from his 
 mother's womb. 
 
 30 And many of the chil- 
 dren of Israel shall he turn 
 unto the Lord their God. 
 
 31 And he shall go before 
 his face in the spirit and 
 power of Elijah, to turn the 
 hearts of the fathers to the 
 children, and the disobe- 
 dient to i(<alk in the wisdom 
 of the just; to make ready 
 for the Lord a people pre- 
 pared /(^r him. 
 
 32 And Zacharias said 
 
 unto the angel. Whereby 
 shall I know this? for I am 
 an old man, and my wife 
 well stricken in years. 
 
 33 And the angel answer- 
 ing said unto him, I am Ga- 
 briel, that stand in the pres- 
 ence of God ; and I was sent 
 to speak unto thee, and to 
 bring thee these good tid- 
 ings. 
 
 34 And behold, thou shalt 
 be silent and not able to 
 speak, until the day that 
 these things shall come to 
 pass, because thou believedst 
 not my words, which shall 
 be fulfilled in their sea- 
 son. 
 
 35 And the people were 
 waiting for Zacharias, and 
 they marvelled while he 
 tarried in the temple. 
 
 36 And when he came out 
 he could not speak unto 
 them: and they perceived 
 that he had seen a vision in 
 the temple: and he contin- 
 ued;naking signs unto them, 
 and remained dumb. 
 
 37 And it came to pass, 
 when the days of his minis- 
 
14 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 tration were fulfilled, he de- 
 parted unto his house. 
 
 38 And after these days 
 Elisabeth his wife con- 
 ceived; and she hid herself 
 five months, saying, 
 
 39 Thus hath the Lord 
 done unto me in the days 
 wherein he looked upon me, 
 to take away my reproach 
 among men. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE ANNUNCIATION. 
 i\Iarch, B. c. 5. 
 
 NOW in the sixth month 
 the angel Gabriel was 
 sent from God unto a city of 
 Galilee, named Nazareth, 
 
 2 To a virgin betrothed to 
 a man whose name was 
 Joseph, of the house of 
 David ; and the virgin's 
 name was Mary. 
 
 3 And he came in unto 
 her, and said. Hail, thou 
 that art highly favoured, the 
 Lord is with thee. 
 
 4 But she was greatly 
 troubled at the saying, and 
 cast in her mind what man- 
 ner of salutation this might 
 be. 
 
 5 And the angel said unto 
 her. Fear not, Mary: for 
 thou hast found favour with 
 God. 
 
 6 And behold, thou shalt 
 conceive in thy womb, and 
 bring forth a son, and shall 
 call his name Jesus. 
 
 7 He shall be great, and 
 shall be called the Son of the 
 Most High: and the Lord 
 God shall give unto him the 
 throne of his father David : 
 
 8 And he shall reign over 
 the house of Jacob for ever; 
 and of his kingdom there 
 shall be no end. 
 
 9 And Mary said unto the 
 angel. How shall this be, 
 seeing I know not a man ? 
 
 10 And the angel answer- 
 ed and said unto her. The 
 Holy Ghost shall come upon 
 thee, and the power of the 
 Most High shall overshadow 
 thee : wherefore also that 
 which is to be born shall be 
 called holy, the Son of God. 
 
 1 1 And behold, Elisabeth 
 thy kinswoman, she also 
 hath conceived a son in her 
 old age; and this is the

 sixth month with her that 
 was called barren. 
 
 I 2 For no word from God 
 shall be void of power. 
 
 13 And Mary said, Be- 
 hold, the handmaid of the 
 Lord; be it unto me ac- 
 cording to thy word. And 
 the angel departed from 
 her. 
 
 14 And Mary arose in 
 these days and went into the 
 hill country with haste, into 
 a city of Judah; 
 
 15 And entered into the 
 house of Zacharias and salut- 
 ed Elisabeth. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, 
 when Elisabeth heard the 
 salutation of Mary, the babe 
 leaped in her womb ; and 
 Elisabeth was filled with the 
 Holy Ghost ; 
 
 17 And she lifted up her 
 voice with a loud cry, and 
 said, Blessed art thou among 
 women, and blessed is the 
 fruit of thy womb. 
 
 18 And whence is this to 
 me, that the mother of my 
 Lord should come unto me? 
 
 19 For behold, when the 
 
 voice of thy salutation came 
 into mine ears, tlie babe 
 leaped in my womb for joy. 
 
 20 And blessed is she that 
 believed; for there shall be 
 a fulfilment of the things 
 which have been spoken to 
 her from the Lord. 
 
 21 And Mary said. 
 
 My soul doth magnify the 
 Lord, 
 
 22 And my spirit hath re- 
 joiced in God my Saviour. 
 
 23 For he hath looked 
 upon the low estate of his 
 handmaiden : 
 
 For behold, from hence- 
 forth all generations shall 
 call me blessed. 
 
 24 P'or he that is mighty 
 hath done to me great 
 things; 
 
 And holy is his name. 
 
 25 And his mercy is imto 
 generations and genera- 
 tions, 
 
 On them that fear him. 
 
 26 H e hath showed 
 strength with his arm ; 
 
 He * hath scattered the 
 proud in the imagination of 
 their heart. 
 
18 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 27 He hath put down prin- 
 ces from their thrones, 
 
 And hath exalted them of 
 low degree. 
 
 28 The hungry he hath 
 filled with good things; 
 
 And the rich he hath sent 
 empty away. 
 
 29 He hath holpen Israel 
 his servant, 
 
 That he might remember 
 mercy 
 
 30 (As he spake unto our 
 fathers) 
 
 Toward Abraham and his 
 seed for ever. 
 
 31 And Mary abode with 
 her about three months, and 
 returned unto her house. 
 
 CHAPTER HI. 
 
 THE BAPTIST BORN. 
 June, B. C. 5. 
 
 NOW Elisabeth's time 
 was fulfilled that she 
 should be delivered; and she 
 brought forth a son. 
 
 32 And her neighbours and 
 her kinsfolk heard that the 
 Lord had magnified his 
 mercy towards her ; and they 
 rejoiced with her. 
 
 3 And it came to pass on 
 the eighth day, that they 
 came to circumcise the child ; 
 and they would have called 
 him Zacharias, after the 
 name of his father. 
 
 4 And his mother an- 
 swered and said, Not so ; but 
 he shall be called John. 
 
 5 And they said unto her. 
 There is none of thy kindred 
 that is called by this name. 
 
 6 And they made signs to 
 his father, what he would 
 have him called. 
 
 7 And he asked for a writ- 
 ing tablet, and wrote, say- 
 ing. His name is John. 
 
 8 And they marvelled all. 
 And his mouth was opened 
 immediately, and his tongue 
 loosed, and he spake, bless- 
 ing God. 
 
 9 And fear came on all 
 that dwelt round about 
 them : 
 
 10 And all these sayings 
 were noised abroad through- 
 out all the hill country of 
 Judaea. 
 
 1 1 And all that heard 
 them laid them up in their

 heart, saying, What then 
 shall this child be? For the 
 hand of the Lord was with 
 him. 
 
 12 And his father Zacha- 
 rias was filled with the Holy 
 Ghost, and prophesied, say- 
 ing. 
 
 13 Blessed be the Lord, 
 
 the God of Israel ; 
 
 For he hath visited and 
 wrought redemption for his 
 people, 
 
 14 And hath raised up a 
 horn of salvation for us 
 
 In the house of his servant 
 David 
 
 15 (As he spake by the 
 mouth of his holy prophets 
 which have been since the 
 world began), 
 
 16 Salvation from our 
 enemies, and from the hand 
 of all that hate us : 
 
 17 To shew mercy towards 
 our fathers. 
 
 And to remember his holy 
 covenant ; 
 
 18 The oath which he 
 sware unto Abraham our 
 father, 
 
 19 To grant imto us that 
 
 21 
 
 of 
 
 we being delivered out 
 the hand of our enemies 
 
 Should serve him without 
 fear, 
 
 20 In holiness and right- 
 eousness before him all our 
 days. 
 
 21 Yea and thou, child, 
 shall be called the prophet 
 of the Most High : 
 
 For thou Shalt go before 
 the face of the Lord to make 
 ready his ways ; 
 
 22 To give knowledge of 
 salvation unto his people 
 
 In the remission of their 
 sins, 
 
 23 Because of the tender 
 mercy of our God, 
 
 Whereby the dayspring 
 from on high shall visit 
 us, 
 
 24 To shine upon them 
 that sit in darkness and the 
 shadow of death ; 
 
 To guide our feet into the 
 way of peace. 
 
 25 And the child grew, 
 and waxed strong in spirit, 
 and was in the deserts till 
 the day of his shewing unto 
 Israel.

 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 THE BIRTH (JF JESUS. 
 
 IV TOW the birth of Jesus 
 ^ ^ Christ was on this 
 wise : When his mother Mary- 
 had been betrothed to Jo- 
 seph, before they came to- 
 gether she was found with 
 child of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 2 And Joseph her hus- 
 band, being a righteous man, 
 and not willing to make 
 her a public example, was 
 minded to put her away 
 privily. 
 
 3 But when he thought on 
 these things, behold, an 
 angel of the Lord appeared 
 unto him in a dream, say- 
 ing, Joseph, thou son of 
 David, fear not to take unto 
 thee Mary thy wife: for that 
 which is conceived in her is 
 of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 4 And she shall bring forth 
 a son; and thou shalt call 
 his name Jesus; for it is he 
 that shall save his people 
 from their sins. 
 
 5 Now all this is come to 
 pass, that it might be ful- 
 
 filled which was spoken by 
 the Lord through the pro- 
 phet, saying, 
 
 6 Behold, the virgin shall 
 be with child, and shall 
 bring forth a son. 
 
 And they shall call his 
 name Immanuel ; 
 
 Which is, being inter- 
 preted, God with us. 
 
 7 And Joseph arose from 
 his sleep, and did as the 
 angel of the Lord com- 
 manded him, and took unto 
 him his wife ; 
 
 8 And knew her not till 
 she had brought forth a son : 
 and he called his name 
 Jesus. 
 
 9 Now it came to pass in 
 those days, there went out 
 a decree from Caesar Augus- 
 tus, that all the world should 
 be enrolled. 
 
 ID This was the first en- 
 rolment made when Quiri- 
 nius was governor of Syria. 
 
 1 1 And all went to enrol 
 themselves, every one to 
 his own city. 
 
 12 And Joseph also went 
 up from Galilee, out of the

 25 
 
 city of Nazareth, into Ji:- 
 daea, to the city of David, 
 which is called Bethlehem, 
 because he was of the house 
 and family of David ; 
 
 13 To enrol himself with 
 Mary, who was betrothed to 
 him, being- great with child. 
 
 14 And it came to pass, 
 while they were there, the 
 days were fulfilled that she 
 should be delivered. 
 
 December, B. C. 5. 
 
 15 And she brought forth 
 her first-born son; and she 
 wrapped him in swaddling 
 clothes, and laid him in a 
 manger, because there was 
 no room for them in the 
 inn. 
 
 16 And there were shep- 
 herds in tlae same country 
 abiding in the field, and 
 keeping watch by night over 
 their flock. 
 
 17 And an angel of the 
 Lord stood by them, and the 
 glory of the Lord shone 
 round about them : and they 
 were sore afraid. 
 
 18 And the angel said 
 unto them. Re not afraid ; 
 
 for behold, I bring you good 
 tidings of great joy which 
 shall be to all the people : 
 
 19 For there is born to 
 5'ou this day in the city of 
 David a Saviour, which is 
 Christ the Lord. 
 
 20 And this is the sign 
 unto you ; Ye shall find a 
 babe wrapped in swaddling 
 clothes, and lying in a 
 manger. 
 
 21 And suddenly there 
 was with the angel a multi- 
 tude of the heavenly host 
 praising God, and saying. 
 
 Glory to God in the 
 highest, 
 
 22 And on earth peace 
 among men in whom he is 
 well pleased. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, 
 when the angels went away 
 from them into heaven, the 
 shepherds said one to an- 
 other, Let us now go even 
 tmto Bethlehem, and see this 
 thing that is come to pass, 
 wjiich the Lord hath made 
 known unto us. 
 
 24 And they came with 
 haste, and found both Mary 
 
36 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and Joseph, and the babe 
 lying in the manger. 
 
 25 And when they saw it, 
 they made known concern- 
 ing the saying which was 
 spoken to them about this 
 child. 
 
 26 And all that heard it 
 wondered at the things 
 which were spoken unto 
 them by the shepherds. 
 
 27 But Mary kept all these 
 sayings, pondering them in 
 her heart. 
 
 28 And the shepherds re- 
 turned, glorifying and prais- 
 ing God for all the things 
 that they had heard and 
 seen, even as it was spoken 
 unto them. 
 
 29 And when eight days 
 were fulfilled for circumcis- 
 ing him, his name was 
 called Jesus, which was so 
 called by the angel before he 
 was conceived in the womb. 
 
 30 And when the days 
 of their purification accord- 
 ing to the law of Moses were 
 fulfilled, they brought him 
 up to Jerusalem, to present 
 him to the Lord 
 
 31 (As it is written in the 
 law of the Lord, Every male 
 that openeth the womb shall 
 be called holy to the Lord), 
 
 32 And to offer a sacrifice 
 according to that which is 
 said in the law of the Lord, 
 A pair of turtledoves, or two 
 young pigeons. 
 
 33 And behold, there was 
 a man in Jerusalem, whose 
 name was Simeon; and this 
 man was righteous and 
 devout, looking for the con- 
 solation of Israel : and the 
 Holy Spirit was upon him. 
 
 34 And it had been re- 
 vealed unto him by the Holy 
 Spirit, that he should not 
 see death, before he had 
 seen the Lord's Christ. 
 
 35 And he came in the 
 Spirit into the temple : and 
 when the parents brought in 
 the child Jesus, that they 
 might do concerning him 
 after the custom of the law, 
 
 36 Then he received him 
 into his arms, and blessed 
 God, and said, 
 
 ■^■] Now lettest thou thy 
 servant depart, O Lord, 
 
Mary and the Turtle Doves. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 29 
 
 According- to thy word, 
 in peace; 
 
 38 For mine eyes have 
 seen thy salvation, 
 
 39 Which thou hast pre- 
 pared before the face of all 
 peoples ; 
 
 40 A light for revelation 
 to the Gentiles, 
 
 And the glory of thy 
 people Israel. 
 
 41 And his father and his 
 mother were marvelling at 
 the things which were 
 spoken concerning him; 
 
 42 And Simeon blessed 
 them, and said unto Mary 
 his mother. Behold, this 
 iliild is set for the falling 
 and rising up of many in 
 Israel ; and for a sign which 
 is spoken against; 
 
 43 Yea, and a sword shall 
 pierce through thine own 
 soul ; that thoughts out of 
 many hearts may be re- 
 vealed. 
 
 44 And there was one 
 Anna, a prophetess, the 
 daughter of Phanuel, of the 
 tribe of Asher (she was of a 
 great age, having lived with 
 
 a husband seven years from 
 her virginity, 
 
 45 And she had been a 
 widow even for fourscore 
 and four years), which de- 
 parted not from the temple, 
 worshipping with fastings 
 and supplications night aiid 
 day. 
 
 46 And coming up at that 
 very hour she gave thanks 
 unto God, and spake of him 
 to all them that were look- 
 ing for the redemption of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 February, B. C. 4. 
 
 NOW when Jesus was 
 born in Bethlehem of 
 Judaea in the days of Herod 
 the king, behold, wise men 
 from the east came to Jeru- 
 salem, saying, 
 
 2 Where is he that is born 
 King of the Jews ? for we 
 saw his star in the east, and 
 are come to worship him. 
 
 3 And when Herod the 
 king heard it, he was troub- 
 led, and all Jerusalem with 
 him. 
 
30 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 4 And gathering together 
 all the chief priests and 
 scribes of the people, he in- 
 quired of them where the 
 Christ should be born. 
 
 5 And they said unto him, 
 In Bethlehem of Judaea : for 
 thus it is written by the 
 prophet, 
 
 6 And thou Bethlehem, 
 land of Judah, 
 
 Art in no wise least 
 among the princes of Judah : 
 
 For out of thee shall come 
 forth a governor. 
 
 Which shall be shepherd 
 of my people Israel. 
 
 7 Then Herod privily 
 called the wise men, and 
 learned of them carefully 
 what time the star appeared. 
 
 8 And he sent them to 
 Bethlehem, and said. Go 
 and search out carefully 
 concerning the young child ; 
 and when ye have found 
 }ii)n, bring me word, that I 
 also may come and worship 
 him. 
 
 9 And they, having heard 
 the king, went their way , 
 and lo, the star, which they 
 
 saw in the east, went before 
 them, till it came and stood 
 over where the young child 
 was. 
 
 10 And when they saw the 
 star they rejoiced with ex- 
 ceeding great joy. 
 
 1 1 And they came into the 
 house and saw the young 
 child with Mary his mother; 
 and they fell down and wor- 
 shipped him; and opening 
 their treasures they offered 
 unto him gifts, gold and 
 frankincense and myrrh. 
 
 12 And being warned of 
 God in a dream that they 
 should not return to Herod, 
 they departed into their own 
 country another way. 
 
 13 Now when they were 
 departed, behold, an angel of 
 the Lord appeareth to Joseph 
 in a dream, saying. Arise 
 and take the young child 
 and his mother, and flee into 
 Egypt, and be thou there 
 until I tell thee : for Herod 
 will seek the young child to 
 destroy him. 
 
 March, B. C. 4. 
 
 14 And he arose and took 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 83 
 
 the young child and his 
 mother by night, and de- 
 parted into Egypt; 
 
 15 And was there nntil the 
 death of Herod: that it 
 might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by the Lord through 
 the prophet, saying, Out of 
 Egypt did I call my son. 
 
 16 Then Herod, when he 
 saw that he was mocked of 
 the wise men, was exceeding 
 wroth, and sent forth, and 
 slew all the male children 
 that were in Bethlehem, 
 and in all the borders 
 thereof, from two years old 
 and under, according to the 
 time which he had carefully 
 learned of the wise men. 
 
 17 Then was fulfilled that 
 which was spoken by Jere- 
 miah the prophet, saying, 
 
 18 A voice was heard in 
 Ram ah. 
 
 Weeping and great mourn- 
 ing. 
 
 Rachel weeping for her 
 children ; 
 
 And she would not be 
 comforted, because they are 
 not. 
 
 19 But when Herod was 
 dead, behold, an angel of 
 the Lord appeareth in a 
 dream to Joseph in Egypt, 
 saying, 
 
 20 Arise and take the 
 young child and his mother, 
 and go into the land of 
 Israel : for they are dead 
 that sought the young 
 child's life. 
 
 21 And he arose and took 
 the young child and his 
 mother, and came into the 
 land of Israel. 
 
 22 But when he heard that 
 Archelatis was reigning over 
 Judaea in the room of his 
 father Herod, he was afraid 
 to go thither; and being 
 warned of God in a dream, 
 he withdrew into the parts 
 of Galilee, 
 
 23 And came and dwelt 
 in a city called Nazai'eth : 
 that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by the 
 prophets, that he should be 
 called a Nazarene. 
 
 'THE BOY JESUS. 
 
 A D. 8-26. 
 
 24 And the child grew. 
 
34 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and waxed strong, filled with 
 wisdom : and the grace of 
 God was upon him. 
 
 25 Now his parents went 
 every year to Jerusalem at 
 the feast of the j^assover. 
 
 26 And when he was 
 twelve years old, they went 
 up after the custom of the 
 feast ; 
 
 27 And when they had 
 fulfilled the days, as they 
 were returning, the boy Je- 
 sus tarried behind in Jeru- 
 salem ; and his parents knew 
 it not; 
 
 28 But supposing him to 
 be in the company, they 
 went a day's journey; and 
 they sought for him among 
 their kinsfolk and acquaint- 
 ance : 
 
 29 And when they found 
 him not, they returned to 
 Jerusalem, seeking for him. 
 
 30 And it came to pass, 
 after three days they found 
 him in the temple, sitting 
 in t?ie midst of the doctors, 
 both hearing them, and ask- 
 ing them qt:estions : 
 
 31 And all that heard him 
 
 were amazed at his under- 
 standing and his answers. 
 
 32 And when they saw 
 him, they were astonished: 
 and his mother said unto 
 him. Son, why hast thou 
 thus dealt with us ? behold, 
 thy father and I sought thee 
 sorrowing. 
 
 33 And he said unto them. 
 How is it that ye sought 
 iTie? wist ye not that I must 
 be in my Father's house? 
 
 34 And they imderstood 
 not the saying which he 
 spake unto them. 
 
 35 And he went down 
 with them, and came to 
 Nazareth ; and he was sub- 
 ject unto them: and his 
 mother kept all these sayings 
 in her heart. 
 
 36 And Jesus advanced in 
 wisdom and stature, and in 
 favour with God and men. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 THE PREACHING OF JOHN. 
 A D. 27. 
 
 NOW in the fifteenth year 
 of the reign of Tiberius 
 Caesar, Pontius Pilate being 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 87 
 
 governor of Judaea, and 
 Herod being tetrarch of Gali- 
 lee, and his brother Philip 
 tetrarch of the region of Itu- 
 raea and Trachonitis, and 
 Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 
 
 2 In the high-priesthood 
 of Annas and Caiaphas, the 
 word of God came unto John 
 the son of Zacharias in the 
 wilderness. 
 
 3 And he came into all the 
 region round about Jordan. 
 preaching the baptism of 
 repentance unto remission 
 of sins ; saying, Repent ye ; 
 for the kingdom of heaven 
 is at hand. 
 
 4 For this is he that was 
 spoken of by Isaiah the pro- 
 phet, saying. 
 
 The voice of one crying 
 in the wilderness. 
 
 Make ye ready the way 
 of the Lord, 
 
 Make his paths straight. 
 
 5 Every valley shall be 
 filled, 
 
 And every mountain and 
 hill shall be brought low ; 
 
 And the crooked shall 
 become straight, 
 
 And the rough ways 
 smooth ; 
 
 6 And all flesh shall see 
 the salvation of God. 
 
 7 Now John himself had 
 his raiment of camel's hair, 
 and a leathern girdle about 
 his loins; and his food was 
 locusts and wild honey. 
 
 8 Then went out unto him 
 Jerusalem, and all Judaea 
 and all the region round 
 about Jordan ; 
 
 9 And they were baptized 
 of him in the river Jordan, 
 confessing their sins. 
 
 10 But when he saw many 
 of the Pharisees and Sad- 
 ducees coming to his bap- 
 tism, he said unto them. Ye 
 offspring of vipers, who 
 warned you to flee from the 
 wrath to come ? 
 
 1 1 Bring forth therefore 
 fruit worthy of repentance : 
 
 12 And think not to say 
 within yourselves, We have 
 Abraham to our father : for 
 I say unto you, that God is 
 able of these stones to raise 
 up children unto Abraham. 
 
 13 And even now is the 
 
38 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 axe laid unto the root of the 
 trees : every tree therefore 
 that bringeth not forth good 
 fruit is hewn down, and cast 
 into the fire. 
 
 14 I indeed baptize you 
 witli water unto repentance : 
 but he that cometh after 
 me is mightier than I, whose 
 shoes I am not worthy to 
 bear: he shall baptize you 
 with the Holy Ghost and 
 with fire. 
 
 15 Whose fan is in his 
 hand, and he will thoroughly 
 cleanse his threshing-floor; 
 and he will gather his wheat 
 into the garner, but the chaff 
 he will burn up with un- 
 quenchable fire. 
 
 JESUS BAPTIZED BY JOHN. 
 January A. D. 27. 
 
 16 Then cometh Jesus 
 from Galilee to the Jordan 
 unto John, to be baptized of 
 him. 
 
 17 But John would have 
 hindered him, saying, I have 
 need to be baptized of thee, 
 and comest thou to me? 
 
 18 But Jesus answering 
 said unto him, Suffer //now: 
 
 for thus it becometh us to 
 fulfil all righteousness. Then 
 he suffereth him. 
 
 19 And Jesus, when he 
 was baptized, went up 
 straightway from the water : 
 and praying, and lo, the 
 heavens were opened unto 
 him, and he saw the Spirit 
 of God descending as a dove, 
 and coming upon him ; 
 
 20 And lo, a voice out of 
 the heavens, saying. This is 
 my beloved Son, in whom 
 I am well pleased. 
 
 THE TEMPTATION. 
 
 21 And Jesus, full of the 
 Holy Spirit, returned from 
 the Jordan, and was led by 
 the Spirit in the wilderness 
 during forty days, being 
 tempted of the devil. 
 
 22 And he was with the 
 wild beasts; and he did eat 
 nothing in those days : and 
 when they were completed, 
 he hungered. 
 
 23 And the tempter caine 
 and said unto him, If thou 
 art the Son of God, command 
 that these stones become 
 bread.

OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 41 
 
 24 But he answered and 
 said, It is written, Man shall 
 not live by bread alone, but 
 by every word that pro- 
 ceedeth out of the mouth of 
 God. 
 
 25 Then the devil taketh 
 him into the holy city ; and 
 he set him on the pinnacle 
 of the temple, and saith unto 
 him, 
 
 26 If thou art the Son of 
 God, cast thyself down : for 
 it is written, 
 
 He shall give his angels 
 charge concerning thee : 
 
 And on their hands they 
 shall bear thee up. 
 
 Lest haply thou dash thy 
 foot against a stone. 
 
 27 Jesus said unto him, 
 Again it is written, Thou 
 shalt not tempt the Lord thy 
 God. 
 
 28 Again, the devil taketh 
 him unto an exceeding high 
 mountain, and showeth him 
 all the kingdoms of the 
 world, and the glory of 
 them; 
 
 29 And he said unto him, 
 All these things will I give 
 
 thee, if thou wilt fall down 
 and worship me. 
 
 30 Then saith Jesus unto 
 him, Get thee hence, Satan : 
 for it is written, Thou shalt 
 worship the Lord thy God, 
 and him only shalt thou 
 serve. 
 
 31 Then the devil leaveth 
 him; and behold, angels came 
 and ministered unto him. 
 
 32 And Jesus came into 
 Galilee, preaching the gos- 
 pel of God, and saying, The 
 time is fulfilled, and the 
 kingdom of God is at hand : 
 repent ye, and believe in 
 the gospel. 
 
 33 And he taught in their 
 synagogues, being glorified 
 of all. 
 
 34 And Jesus himself, 
 when he began to teach, was 
 about thirty years of age, 
 
 35 And John beareth 
 witness of him, and crieth, 
 saying, This was he of 
 whom I said. He that cometh 
 after me is become before 
 m*e : for he was before me. 
 
 36 Forof his fulness we all 
 received, and grace for grace. 
 
42 
 
 THE EARTH1,Y FOOTPRINTS 
 
 2,'] For the law was given 
 by Moses ; grace and truth 
 came by Jesus Christ. 
 
 38 No man hath seen God 
 at any time ; the only be- 
 gotten Son, which is in the 
 bosom of the Father, he 
 hath declared him. 
 
 39 And this is the witness 
 of John, when the Jews sent 
 unto him from Jerusalem 
 priests and Levites to ask 
 him, Who art thou ? 
 
 40 A n d he confessed, 
 and denied not; and he 
 confessed, I am not the 
 Christ. 
 
 41 And they asked him. 
 What then? Art thou Elijah? 
 And he saith, I am not. 
 Art thou the proj^het ? 
 
 42 And he answered. No. 
 •They said therefore unto 
 him. Who art thou? that we 
 may give an answer to them 
 that sent us. What sayest 
 thou of thyself ? 
 
 43 He said, I am the voice 
 of one crying in the wilder- 
 ness. Make straight the way 
 of the Lord, as said Isaiah 
 the prophet. 
 
 44 And they had been sent 
 from the Pharisees. 
 
 45 And they asked him, 
 and said unto him. Why 
 then baptizest thoti, if thou 
 art not the 
 
 46 Christ, neither Elijah, 
 neither the prophet ? 
 
 47 John answered them, 
 saying, I baptize with water : 
 in the midst of you standeth 
 one whom ye know not, 
 
 48 Even he that cometh 
 after me, the latchet of 
 whose shoe I am not worthy 
 to unloose. 
 
 49 These things were done 
 in Bethany beyond Jordan, 
 where John was baptiz- 
 ing. 
 
 50 On the morrow he seeth 
 Jesus coming t:nto him, and 
 saith. Behold, the Lamb of 
 God, which taketh away the 
 sin of the world ! 
 
 5 1 This is he of whom I 
 said. After me cometh a man 
 which is become before me : 
 for he was before me. 
 
 52 And I knew him not; 
 but that he should be made 
 manifest to Israel, for this 
 
a 
 
OF OUR RISHN LORD. 
 
 45 
 
 cause came I baptizing with 
 water. 
 
 53 And John bare witness, 
 saying, I have beheld the 
 Spirit descending as a dove 
 out of heaven ; and it abode 
 upon him. 
 
 54 And I knew him not : 
 but he that sent me to 
 baptize with water, he said 
 unto me, Upon whomsoever 
 thou shalt see the Spirit de- 
 scending, and abiding upon 
 him, the same is he that bap- 
 tizeth with the Holy Spirit. 
 
 55 And I have seen, and 
 have borne witness that this 
 is the Son of God. 
 
 CHAPTER Vn. 
 
 AGAIN on the morrow 
 John was standing, and 
 two of his disciples ; and he 
 looked upon Jesus as he 
 walked, and saith. Behold, 
 the Lamb of God! 
 
 2 And the two disciples 
 heard him speak, and they 
 followed Jesus. 
 
 3 And Jesus turned, and 
 beheld them following, and 
 saith unto them, What seek 
 
 ye? And they said imto him, 
 Rabbi (which is to say, being 
 interpreted. Master), where 
 abidest thou ? 
 
 4 He saith unto them, 
 Come, and ye shall see. 
 They came therefore and 
 saw where he abode ; and 
 they abode with him that 
 day : it was about the tenth 
 hour. 
 
 5 One of the two that 
 heard John speak, and fol- 
 lowed him, was Andrew, 
 Simon Peter's brother. 
 
 6 He findeth first his own 
 brother, Simon, and saith 
 unto him, We have found 
 the Messiah (which is, being 
 interpreted, Christ). 
 
 7 He brought him mito 
 Jesus. Jesus looked upon 
 him, and said, Thou art 
 Simon the son of John : thou 
 shalt be called Cephas 
 (which is by interpretation, 
 Peter). 
 
 8 On the morrow he was 
 minded to go forth into 
 Galilee, and he findeth 
 Philip : and Jesus saith unto 
 him, Follow me. 
 
46 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 9 Now Philip was from 
 Bethsaida, of the city of 
 Andrew and Peter. 
 
 10 Philip findeth Nathan- 
 ael, and saith unto him, We 
 have found him, of whom 
 Moses in the law, and the 
 prophets, did write, Jesus of 
 Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 
 
 1 1 And Nathanael said 
 unto him, Can any good 
 thing come out of Nazareth? 
 Philip saith unto him, Come 
 and see. 
 
 12 Jesus saw Nathanael 
 coming to him, and saith of 
 him. Behold, an Israelite in- 
 deed, in whom is no guile ! 
 
 13 Nathanael saith unto 
 him. Whence knowest thou 
 me? Jesus answered and 
 said unto him. Before Philip 
 called thee, when thou wast 
 under the fig tree, I saw thee. 
 
 14 Nathanael answered 
 him, Rabbi, thou art the 
 Son of God ; thou art King 
 of Israel. 
 
 1 5 Jesus answered a n d 
 said unto him. Because I 
 said unto thee, I saw thee 
 underneath the fig tree, be- 
 
 lie vest thou? thou shalt see 
 greater things than these. 
 
 16 And he saith unto him, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, Ye shall see the heaven 
 opened, and the angels of 
 God ascending and descend- 
 ing upon the Son of man. 
 
 WATER MADE INTO WINE. 
 February, a. d. 27. 
 
 1 7 And the third day there 
 was a marriage in Cana of 
 Galilee; and the mother of 
 Jesus was there : and Jesus 
 also was bidden, and his dis- 
 ciples, to the marriage. 
 
 18 And when the wine 
 failed, the mother of Jesus 
 saith unto him. They have 
 no Avine. 
 
 19 And Jesus saith unto 
 her. Woman, what have I 
 to do with thee? mine hour 
 is not yet come. 
 
 20 His mother saith unto 
 the servants. Whatsoever 
 he saith unto you, do it. 
 
 21 Now there wei^e six 
 waterpots of stone set there 
 after the Jews' manner of 
 purifying, containing two or 
 three firkins apiece. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 49 
 
 22 Jesus saith unto them, 
 P'iil the waterpots with 
 water. And they filled 
 them up to the brim. 
 
 23 And he saith unto 
 them, Draw out now, and 
 bear unto the ruler of the 
 feast. And they bare it. 
 
 24 And when the ruler of 
 the feast tasted the water 
 now become wine, and knew 
 not whence it was (but the 
 servants which had drawn 
 the water knew), the niler 
 of the feast callcth the 
 bridegroom, 
 
 25 And saith imto him. 
 Every man setteth on first 
 the good wine; and when 
 men have drunk freely, then 
 that which is worse : thott 
 hast kept the good wine un- 
 til now. 
 
 26 This beginning of his 
 signs did Jesus in Cana of 
 Galilee, and manifested his 
 glory; and his disciples be- 
 lieved on him.

 he went 
 
 down to Capernaum, he, and 
 his mother, and his breth- 
 ren, and his disciples: and 
 there they abode not many 
 days. 
 
 28 And thepassoverof the 
 Jews was at hand, and Jesus 
 went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 29 And he found in the 
 temple those that sold oxen 
 and sheep and doves, and 
 the changers of money 
 sitting. 
 
 30 And he made a scourge 
 of cords, and cast all out of 
 the temple, both the sheep 
 and the oxen; and he 
 poured out the changers' 
 money, and overthrew their 
 tables; 
 
 31 And to them that sold 
 the doves he said, Take 
 these things hence ; make 
 not my Father's house a 
 house of merchandise. 
 
 32 His disciples remem- 
 bered that it was written, 
 The zeal of thine house shall 
 eat me up. 
 
 33 The Jews thei-efore 
 answered and said unto him, 
 What sign shewest thou unto 
 
50

 US, seeing that thou doest 
 these things? 
 
 34 Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, Destroy this 
 temple, and in three days I 
 will raise it up. 
 
 35 The Jews therefore 
 said, Forty and six years 
 was this temple in building, 
 and wilt thou raise it ujd in 
 three days ? 
 
 36 But he spake of the 
 temple of his body. 
 
 37 When therefore he was 
 raised from the dead, his 
 disciples remembered that 
 he spake this ; and they be- 
 lieved the scripture, and the 
 word which Jesus had said. 
 
 38 Now when he was in 
 Jerusalem at the passover, 
 during the feast, many be- 
 lieved on his name, behold- 
 ing his signs which he did. 
 
 39 But Jesus did not trust 
 himself imto them, for that 
 he knew all men, 
 
 40 And because he needed 
 not that any one should bear 
 witness concerning man ; for 
 he himself knew what was in 
 man.

 REGENERATION. 
 April, A. D. 27. 
 
 IV TOW there was a man 
 -^ ^ of the Pharisees, 
 named Nicodemus, a ruler 
 of the Jews : 
 
 2 The same came to him 
 by night, and said to him, 
 Rabbi, we know that thou 
 art a teacher come from 
 God: for no man can do 
 these signs that thou doest, 
 except God be with him. 
 
 3 Jesus answered and said 
 unto him. Verily, verily, 
 I say unto thee. Except a 
 man be born anew, he can- 
 not see the kingdom of God. 
 
 4 Nicodemus saith unto 
 him. How can a man be 
 born when he is old? can 
 he enter a second time into 
 his mother's womb, and be 
 born? 
 
 5 Jesus answered, Verily, 
 verily, I say unto thee. Ex- 
 cept a man be born of water 
 and the Spirit, he cannot 
 enter into the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 6 That which is born of 
 
Jesus Teaching Nicodemus. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 53 
 
 the flesh is flesh; and that 
 which is born of the Spirit 
 is spirit. 
 
 7 Marvel not that I said 
 unto thee, Ye must be born 
 anew. 
 
 8 The wind bloweth where 
 it listeth, and thou hearest 
 the voice thereof, but know- 
 est not whence it cometh, 
 and whither it goeth : so is 
 every one that is born of the 
 Spirit. 
 
 9 Nicodemus an s wer ed 
 and said unto him, How can 
 these things be? 
 
 10 Jesus answered and 
 said unto him. Art thou the 
 teacher of Israel, and under- 
 standest not these things? 
 
 1 1 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto thee. We speak that 
 we do know, and bear wit- 
 ness of that we have seen ; 
 and ye receive not our wit- 
 ness. 
 
 12 If I told you earthly 
 things, and ye believe not, 
 how shall ye believe, if I 
 tell you heavenly things ? 
 
 13 And no man hath 
 ascended into heaven, but 
 
 he that descended out of 
 heaven, even the Son of man, 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 14 And as Moses lifted up 
 the serpent in the wilder- 
 ness, even so must the Son 
 of man be lifted t:p : 
 
 15 That whosoever be- 
 lieveth may in him have 
 eternal life. 
 
 16 For God so loved the 
 world, that he gave his only 
 begotten Son, that whoso- 
 ever believeth on him 
 should not perish, but have 
 eternal life. 
 
 17 For God sent not the 
 Son into the world to judge 
 the world; but that the 
 world should be saved 
 through him. 
 
 18 He that believeth on 
 him is not judged: he that 
 believeth not hath been 
 judged already, because he 
 hath not believed on the 
 name of the only begotten 
 Son of God. 
 
 19 And this is the judg- 
 ment, that the light is come 
 into the world, and men 
 loved the darkness rather 
 
54 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOUTPRINTS 
 
 than the light; for their 
 works were evil. 
 
 20 For every one that 
 doeth ill hateth the light, 
 and Cometh not to the light, 
 lest his works should be re- 
 proved. 
 
 21 But he that doeth the 
 truth Cometh to the light, 
 that his works may be made 
 manifest, that they have 
 been wrought in God. 
 
 22 After , these things 
 came Jesus and his disciples 
 into the land of Judaea ; and 
 there he tarried with them, 
 and baptized. 
 
 23 And John also was 
 baptizing in ^non near to 
 Salim, because there was 
 much water there : and they 
 came, and were baptized. 
 
 24 For John was not yet 
 cast into prison. 
 
 25 There arose therefore 
 a questioning on the part of 
 John's disciples with a Jew 
 about purifying. 
 
 26 And they came unto 
 John, and said to him, 
 Rabbi, he that was with thee 
 beyond Jordan, to whom 
 
 thou hast borne witness, be- 
 hold, the same baptizeth, 
 and all men come to him. 
 
 27 John answered, and 
 said, A man can receive 
 nothing, except it have been 
 given him from heaven. 
 
 28 Ye yourselves bear me 
 v.atness, that I said, I am not 
 the Christ, but, that I am 
 sent before him. 
 
 29 He that hath the bride 
 is the bridegroom : but the 
 friend of the bridegroom, 
 which standeth and heareth 
 him, rejoiceth greatly be- 
 cause of the bridegroom's 
 voice : this my joy therefore 
 is fulfilled. 
 
 30 He must increase, but 
 I must decrease. 
 
 31 He that cometh from 
 above is above all : he that 
 is of the earth is of the earth, 
 and of the earth he speak- 
 eth : he that cometh from 
 heaven is above all. 
 
 32 What he hath seen and 
 heard, of that he beareth wit- 
 ness; and no man receiveth 
 his witness. 
 
 33 He that hath received 
 

 I 1 H I R I \ I :> I ' 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 57 
 
 his witness hath set his seal 
 to this, that God is true. 
 
 34 For he whom God hath 
 sent speaketh the words of 
 God: for he giveth not the 
 Spirit by measure. 
 
 35 The Father loveth the 
 Son, and hath given all things 
 into his hand. 
 
 36 He that believeth on 
 the Son hath eternal life ; 
 but he that obeyeth not the 
 Son shall not see life, but 
 the wrath of God abideth on 
 him. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA. 
 December, a.D. 27. 
 
 HEROD the tetrarch, be- 
 ing reproved by John 
 for Herodias, his brother's 
 wife, and for all the evil 
 things which Herod had 
 done, added yet this above 
 all, that he shut up John in 
 pxison. 
 
 2 When therefore the Lord 
 knew how that the Pharisees 
 had heard that Jesus was 
 making and baptizing more 
 disciples than John (although 
 
 Jesus himself baptized not, 
 but his disciples) and had 
 heard that John was cast into 
 prison, he left Judaea, and 
 departed again into Galilee. 
 
 3 And he mitst needs pass 
 through Samaria. 
 
 4 And he cometh to a city 
 of Samaria, called Sychar, 
 near to the parcel of ground 
 that Jacob gave to his son 
 Joseph : and Jacob's well was 
 there. 
 
 5 Jesus therefore, being 
 wearied with his journej^ 
 sat thus by the well. It was 
 about the sixth hour. 
 
 6 There cometh a woman 
 of Samaria to draw water: 
 Jesus saith unto her. Give 
 me to drink. For his dis- 
 ciples were gone away into 
 the city to buy food. 
 
 7 The Samaritan woman 
 therefore saith unto him. 
 How is it that thou, being 
 a Jew, askest drink of me, 
 which am a Samaritan 
 woman? (For Jews have no 
 dealings with Samaritans.) 
 
 8 Jesus answered and said 
 unto her. If thou knewest the 
 
58 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 gift of God, and who it is 
 that saith to thee, Give me 
 to drink; thou woiildest 
 have asked of him, and he 
 would have given thee living- 
 water. 
 
 9 The woman saith unto 
 him, Sir, thou hast nothing 
 to draw with, and the well 
 is deep: from whence then 
 hast thou that living water? 
 
 10 Art thou greater than 
 our father Jacob, which gave 
 us the well, and drank there- 
 of himself, and his sons, and 
 his cattle? 
 
 1 1 Jesus answered and said 
 unto her. Every one that 
 drinketh of this water shall 
 thirst again : 
 
 1 2 But whosoever drinketh 
 of the water that I shall give 
 him shall never thirst ; but 
 the water that I shall give 
 him shall become in him a 
 well of water springing up 
 unto eternal life. 
 
 13 The woman saith unto 
 hiin. Sir, give me this 
 water, that I thirst not, 
 neither come all the way 
 hither to draw. 
 
 14 Jesus saith imto her. 
 Go, call thy husband, and 
 come hither. 
 
 15 The woman answered 
 and said unto him, I have no 
 husband. Jesus saith unto 
 her, Thou said.st well, I have 
 no husband : 
 
 16 For thou hast had five 
 husbands ; and he whom thou 
 now hast is not thy husband : 
 this hast thou said truly. 
 
 17 The woman saith unto 
 him. Sir, I perceive that thou 
 art a prophet. 
 
 18 Our fathers worshipped 
 in this mountain ; and ye 
 say, that in Jerusalem is the 
 place where men ought to 
 worship. 
 
 19 Jesus saith unto her, 
 Woman, believe me, the 
 hour Cometh, when neither in 
 this mountain, nor in Jeru- 
 salem, shall ye worship the 
 Father. 
 
 20 Ye worship that which 
 ye know not : we worship 
 that which we know : for sal- 
 vation is from the Jews. 
 
 21 But the hour cometh, 
 and now is, when the true 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 61 
 
 worshippers shall worship 
 the Father in spirit and 
 truth : for such doth the Fath- 
 er seek to be his worshippers. 
 
 22 God is a Spirit: and 
 they that worship him must 
 worship in spirit and truth. 
 
 23 The woman saith unto 
 him, I know that Messiah 
 Cometh (which i s called 
 Christ) : when he is come, he 
 will declare unto us all 
 things. 
 
 24 Jesus saith unto her, I 
 that speak unto thee am //(\ 
 
 25 And upon this came his 
 disciples ; andthey marvelled 
 that he was speaking with a 
 woman ; yet no man said. 
 What seekest thou? or, Why 
 speakest thou with her? 
 
 26 So the woman left her 
 waterpot, and went away 
 into the city, and saith to the 
 men, Come, see a man, which 
 told me all things that etrr 
 I did: can this be the Christ? 
 
 27 They went out of the 
 city, and were coming to him. 
 
 28 In the mean while the 
 disciples prayed him, saying, 
 Rabbi, eat. 
 
 29 But he said unto them, 
 I have meat to eat that ye 
 know not. 
 
 30 The disciples there- 
 fore said one to another, 
 Hath any man brought him 
 aught to eat? 
 
 31 Jesus saith xmto them. 
 My meat is to do the will of 
 him that sent me, and to 
 accomplish his work. 
 
 32 Say not 3'e, There are 
 3'et four months, and then 
 Cometh the harvest? behold, 
 I say unto you, Lift up your 
 eyes, and look on the fields, 
 that they are white already 
 unto harvest. 
 
 33 He that reapeth re- 
 ceiveth wages, andgathereth 
 fruit unto life eternal; that 
 he that soweth and he that 
 reapeth may rejoice to- 
 gether. 
 
 34 For herein is the say- 
 ing true. One soweth, and 
 another reapeth. 
 
 35 I sent you to reap that 
 whereon ye have not labour- 
 ed: others have laboured, 
 and ye are entered into their 
 labour.' 
 
62 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 36 And from that city 
 many of the Samaritans be- 
 lieved on him because of the 
 word of the woman, who 
 testified, He told me all 
 things that ever I did. 
 
 37 So when the Samari- 
 tans came nnto him, they 
 besought him to abide with 
 them : and he abode there 
 two days. 
 
 38 And many more be- 
 lieved because of his word; 
 and they said to the woman, 
 Now we believe, not be- 
 cause of thy speaking: for 
 we have heard for ourselves, 
 and know that this is in- 
 deed the Saviour of the 
 world. 
 
 39 And after the two days 
 he went forth from thence 
 into Galilee. 
 
 40 For Jesus himself testi- 
 fied, that a prophet hath no 
 honour in his own country. 
 
 41 When he came into 
 Galilee, the Galileans re- 
 ceived him, having seen all 
 things that he did in Jerusa- 
 lem at the feast: for they 
 also went unto the feast. 
 
 THE CHILD CURED. 
 December, a.d. 27. 
 
 42 He came therefore 
 again unto Cana of Galilee, 
 where he made the water 
 wine. And there was a cer- 
 tain nobleman, whose son 
 was sick at Capernaum. 
 
 43 When he heard that 
 Jesus was come out of 
 Judaea into Galilee, he went 
 unto him, and besought him 
 that he would come down, 
 and heal his son ; for he Avas 
 at the point of death. 
 
 44 Jesus therefore said 
 unto him. Except ye see 
 signs and wonders, ye will 
 in no wise believe. 
 
 45 The nobleman saith un- 
 to him. Sir, come down ere 
 my child die. 
 
 46 Jesus saith unto him. 
 Go thy way; thy son liveth. 
 The man believed the word 
 that Jesus spake unto him, 
 and he went his way. 
 
 47 And as he was now go- 
 ing down, his servants met 
 him, saying, that his son 
 lived. 
 
 48 So he inquired of them 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 65 
 
 the hour when he began to 
 amend. They said there- 
 fore unto him, Yesterday 
 at the seventh honr the 
 fever left him. 
 
 49 So the father knew that 
 it was at that hour in which 
 Jesus said unto him, Thy 
 son liveth : and himself be- 
 lieved, and his whole house. 
 
 50 This is again the second 
 sign that Jesus did, having 
 come out of Judica into Gali- 
 lee. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 JESUS READS ISAIAH. 
 April, A.D. 28. 
 
 AND Jesus returned in the 
 power of the Spirit into 
 Galilee : and a fame went 
 out concerning him through 
 all the region round about. 
 
 2 And he taught in their 
 synagogues, being glorified 
 of all. 
 
 3 And he came to Naza- 
 reth, where lie had been 
 brought up : and he entered, 
 as his custom was, into the 
 synagogue on the sabbath 
 day, and stood up to read. 
 
 4 And there was delivered 
 imto him the book of the 
 projDhet Isaiah. And he 
 opened the book, and found 
 the place where it was writ- 
 ten, 
 
 5 The Spirit of the Lord 
 is 11 pen me. 
 
 Because he anointed me to 
 preach good tidings to the 
 poor : 
 
 He Jiath sent me to pro- 
 claim release to the captives. 
 
 And recovering of sight 
 to the blind, 
 
 To set at liberty them that 
 are bruised. 
 
 To proclaim the accept- 
 able year of the Lord. 
 
 6 And he closed the book, 
 and gave it back to the at- 
 tendant, and sat down: and 
 the eyes of all in the syna- 
 gogue were fastened on him. 
 
 7 And he began to say un- 
 to them, To-day hath this 
 scripture been fulfilled in 
 your ears. 
 
 8 And all bare him wit- 
 ness, and wondered at the 
 words of grace which pro- 
 ceeded out of his mouth : 
 
66 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 9 And were astonished, 
 and said, Whence hath this 
 man this wisdom, and these 
 mighty works? 
 
 10 Is not this the carpen- 
 ter's son? is not his mother 
 called Mary? and his breth- 
 ren, James, and Joseph, and 
 Simon, and Judas? 
 
 1 1 And his sisters, are 
 they not all with us? Whence 
 then hath this man all these 
 things? 
 
 12 And they were offend- 
 ed in him. But Jesus said 
 unto them, A prophet is not 
 without honour, save in his 
 own country, and in his own 
 house. 
 
 13 And he could there do 
 no mighty work, save that 
 he laid his hands upon a few 
 sick folk, and healed them. 
 And he marvelled because 
 of their unbelief. 
 
 14 And he said unto them. 
 Doubtless ye will say unto 
 me this parable. Physician, 
 heal thyself : whatsoever 
 we have heard done at 
 Capernaum, do also here in 
 thine own country. 
 
 15 And he said. Verily I 
 say unto you, No prophet is 
 acceptable in his own coun- 
 try. 
 
 16 But of a truth I say 
 unto you. There were many 
 widows in Israel in the days 
 of Elijah, when the heaven 
 was shut up three years and 
 six months, when there came 
 a great famine over all the 
 land; 
 
 17 And unto none of them 
 was Elijah sent, but only to 
 Zarephath, in the land of 
 Sidon, unto a woman that 
 was a widow. 
 
 18 And there were many 
 lepers in Israel in the time 
 of Elisha the prophet; and 
 none of them was cleansed, 
 but only Naaman the Syrian. 
 
 1 9 And they were all filled 
 with wrath in the synagogue, 
 as they heard these things ; 
 
 20 And they rose up, and 
 cast him forth out of the city, 
 and led him unto the brow 
 of the hill whereon their city 
 was built, that they might 
 throw him down headlong. 
 
 2 1 But he passing through

OF OUR RISF.N LORD. 
 
 69 
 
 the midst of tliLMii went his 
 way. 
 
 22 And leavinj^ Nazareth, 
 he went round about the 
 villages teaching, and he 
 came and dwelt in Caper- 
 naum, which is by the sea, 
 in the borders of Zebulun 
 and Naphtali : 
 
 A.D. 28. 
 
 23 That it might be ful- 
 filled which was spoken by 
 Isaiah the prophet, saying, 
 
 24 The land of Zebulun 
 and the land of Naphtali, 
 
 Toward the sea, beyond 
 Jordan, 
 
 Galilee of the Gentiles, 
 
 25 The people which sat 
 in darkness 
 
 Saw a great light. 
 
 And to them which sat in 
 the region and shadow of 
 death, 
 
 To them did light spring 
 up. 
 
 26 And they were aston- 
 ished at his teaching; for 
 his word was with authority. 
 
 27 And Jesus walking by 
 the sea of Galilee, saw two 
 brethren, Simon who is call- 
 
 ed Peter, and Andrew his 
 brother, casting a net into the 
 sea; for they were fishers. 
 
 28 And he saith unto them, 
 Come ye after me, and I 
 will make you fishers of men. 
 
 29 And they straightway 
 left the nets, and followed 
 him. 
 
 30 And going on from 
 thence he saw other two 
 brethren, James the son of 
 Zebedee, and John his 
 brother, in the boat with 
 Zebedee their father, mend- 
 ing their nets ; and he called 
 them. 
 
 31 And thc}^ straightway 
 left the boat and their father, 
 and followed him. 
 
 EVIL SPIRITS CAST OUT. 
 
 32 And they go into 
 Capernaiim ; and straight- 
 way on the sabbath day he 
 entered into the synagogue 
 and taught. 
 
 33 And they were aston- 
 ished at his teaching : for he 
 taught them as having 
 authority, and not as the 
 scribes. 
 
70 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 34 And there was in their 
 synagogue a man with an 
 unclean spirit; 
 
 35 And he cried out, say- 
 ing, What have we to do 
 with thee, thou Jesus of 
 Nazareth? art thou come to 
 destroy us? I know thee who 
 thou art, the Holy One of 
 God. 
 
 36 And Jesus rebuked him, 
 saying, Hold thy peace, and 
 come out of him. 
 
 37 And the unclean spirit, 
 tearing him and crying with 
 a loud voice, came out of 
 him. 
 
 38 And they were all 
 amazed, insomuch that they 
 questioned among them- 
 selves, saying. What is this? 
 a new teaching! with author- 
 ity he commandeth even the 
 unclean spirits, and they 
 obey him. 
 
 39 And the report of him 
 w^ent out straightway every- 
 where into all the region of 
 Galilee round about. 
 
 40 And straightway, when 
 they w^ere come out of the 
 synagogue, they came into 
 
 the house of Simon and An- 
 drew, with James and John. 
 
 A.D. 28. 
 
 41 Now Simon's wife's 
 mother lay sick of a fever; 
 and straightway they tell 
 him of her : 
 
 42 And he came and took 
 her by the hand, and raised 
 her up; and the fever left 
 her, and she ministered unto 
 them. 
 
 43 And when the sun was 
 setting, all they that had any 
 sick wath divers diseases 
 brought them unto him ; and 
 he laid his hands on every 
 one of them, and healed 
 them. 
 
 44 And devils also came 
 out from many, crying out, 
 and saying. Thou art the 
 Son of God. And rebuking 
 them, he suffered them not 
 to speak, because they knew 
 that he w^as the Christ. 
 
 45 And in the morning, 
 a great w^hile before day, he 
 arose up and went out, and 
 departed into a desert place, 
 and there prayed. 
 
 46 And Simon and they 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 that were with him followed 
 after him ; 
 
 47 And they fomid him, 
 and say unto him, All are 
 seeking thee. 
 
 48 Andhesaithimtothem, 
 Let us go elsewhere into 
 the next towns, that I may 
 preach there also; for to 
 this end came I forth. 
 
 49 But the multitudes 
 sought after him, and came 
 unto him, and would have 
 stayed him, that he should 
 not go from them. 
 
 50 He said unto them, I 
 must preach the good tidings 
 of the kingdom of God to 
 the other cities also : for 
 therefore was I sent. 
 
 April and Jlay, .\.D. 28 
 
 51 And Jesus went about 
 in all Galilee, teaching in 
 their synagogues, and 
 preaching the gospel of the 
 kingdom, and healing all 
 manner of disease and all 
 manner of sickness among 
 the people. 
 
 52 And the report of him 
 went forth into all Syria: 
 and they brought imto him 
 
 all that were sick, hoi den 
 with divers diseases and tor- 
 ments, possessed with devils, 
 and epileptic, and palsied: 
 and he healed them. 
 
 53 And there followed him 
 great multitudes from Gali- 
 lee and Decapolis and Jeru- 
 salem and Judaea and from 
 beyond Jordan. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 THE LEPER CLEANSED. 
 A.D. 28. 
 
 AND it came to pass, 
 while he was in one of 
 the cities, behold, a man full 
 of leprosy : and when he saw 
 Jesus, he fell on his face, 
 and besought him, saying. 
 Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 
 make me clean. 
 
 2 And Jesus, moved with 
 compassion, stretched forth 
 his hand, and touched him, 
 and saith unto him, I will; 
 be thou made clean. 
 
 3 And straightway the 
 leprosj' departed from him, 
 and he was made clean. 
 
 4. And he strictly charged 
 him, and straightway sent 
 him out. 
 
74 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 5 And saith unto him, See 
 thou say nothing to any 
 man : but go thy way, shew 
 thyself to the priest, and of- 
 fer for thy cleansing the 
 things wliich Moses com- 
 manded, for a testimony un- 
 to them. 
 
 6. But he went out, and 
 began to publish it much, 
 and to spread abroad the 
 matter, insomuch that Jesus 
 could no more openly enter 
 into a city, but was without 
 in desert places: 
 
 7 And so much the more 
 went abroad the report con- 
 cerning him : and great mul- 
 titudes came together to 
 hear, and to be healed of 
 their infirmities. 
 
 8 And he withdrew him- 
 self in the deserts, and 
 prayed. 
 
 THE PALSIED CURED. 
 
 9 And when he entered 
 again into Capernaum after 
 some days, it was noised 
 that he was in the house. 
 
 ID And many were gath- 
 ered together, so that there 
 
 was no longer room for 
 them, no, not even about the 
 door : and he spake the word 
 unto them. 
 
 1 1 And there were Phari- 
 sees and Doctors of the law 
 sitting by, which were come 
 out of every village of Gali- 
 lee and Judaea and Jerusa- 
 lem : and the power of the 
 Lord was with him to heal. 
 
 12 And behold, men bring 
 on a bed a man that was 
 palsied: and they sought to 
 bring him in, and to lay him 
 before him. 
 
 13 And not finding by 
 what way they might bring 
 him in because of the multi- 
 tude, they went up to the 
 housetop, and let him down 
 through the tiles with his 
 couch into the midst before 
 Jesus. 
 
 A.D. 28. 
 
 14 And Jesus seeing their 
 faith saith unto the sick 
 of the palsy. Son, be of good 
 cheer; thy sins are forgiven. 
 
 But there were certain of 
 the scribes sitting there, and 
 reasoning in their hearts, 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 77 
 
 Why doth this man thus 
 speak? he blasphemeth : 
 who can forgive sins but one, 
 even God? 
 
 i6 And straightway Jesus, 
 perceiving in his spirit that 
 they so reasoned within 
 themselves, saith unto them, 
 Why reason ye these tilings 
 in your hearts? 
 
 17 Whether is easier, to 
 say to the sick of the palsy. 
 Thy sins are forgiven ; or to 
 say, Arise, and take up thy 
 bed, and walk? 
 
 18 But that ye may know 
 that the Son of man hath 
 power on earth to forgive 
 sins (he saith to the sick of 
 the palsy), I say unto thee. 
 Arise, take up thy bed, and 
 go tmto thy house. 
 
 19 And immediately he 
 rose up before them, and 
 took up that whereon he lay, 
 and departed to his house, 
 glorifying God. 
 
 20 And amazement took 
 hold on all, and they glori- 
 fiedGod ; and they were filled 
 with fear, saying, We have 
 seen strange things to-day. 
 
 21 And Jesus with his dis- 
 ciples withdrew to the sea; 
 and a great multitude from 
 Galilee followed: 
 
 THE DRAUGHT OF FISHES. 
 
 22 Now it came to pass, 
 while the multitude pressed 
 upon him and heard the 
 word of God, that he was 
 standing by the lake of Gen- 
 nesaret ; 
 
 23 And he saw two boats 
 standing by the lake : but 
 the fishermen had gone out 
 of them, and were washing 
 their nets. 
 
 24 And he entered into 
 one of the boats, which was 
 Simon's, and asked him to 
 put out a little from the land. 
 
 And he sat down and 
 taught the multitudes out of 
 the boat. 
 
 April, A.D.28. 
 
 25 And when he had left 
 speaking, he said unto 
 Simon, Put out into the 
 deep, and let down your 
 nets for a draught. 
 
 26 A*nd Simon answered 
 and said. Master, we toiled 
 all night, and took nothing : 
 
78 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 but at thy word I will let 
 down the nets. 
 
 27 And when they had 
 this done, they inclosed a 
 great multitude of fishes ; 
 and their nets were break- 
 ing; 
 
 28 And they beckoned un- 
 to their partners in the other 
 boat, that they should come 
 and help them. And they 
 came, and filled both the 
 boats, so that they began 
 to sink. 
 
 29 But Simon Peter, when 
 he saw it, fell down at Jesus' 
 knees, saying. Depart from 
 me; for I am a sinful man, 
 O Lord. 
 
 30 For he was amazed, 
 and all that were with him, 
 at the draught of the fishes 
 which they had taken ; 
 
 3 1 And so were also James 
 and John, sons of Zebedee, 
 which were partners with 
 Simon. 
 
 32 And Jesus said unto 
 Simon, Fear not; from 
 henceforth thou shalt catch 
 men. 
 
 33 And when they had 
 
 brought their boats to land, 
 they left all, and followed 
 him. 
 
 34 And after these things 
 he went forth, and beheld a 
 publican, Levi, named Mat- 
 thew the sor7 of Alphasus sit - 
 ting at the place of toll, and 
 he saith unto him, Follow 
 me. 
 
 35 And he forsook all, and 
 rose up and followed him. 
 
 36 And Levi made him a 
 great feast in his house : 
 
 37 And it came to pass, 
 as Jesus sat at meat in the 
 house, behold, many publi- 
 cans and sinners came and 
 sat down with him and his 
 disciples. 
 
 38 And the Pharisees and 
 their scribes murmured 
 against his disciples, saying. 
 Why do ye eat and drink 
 with the publicans and sin- 
 ners? 
 
 39 Why eateth yorir INI as- 
 ter with the publicans and 
 sinners? 
 
 40 And Jesus answering 
 said unto them. They that 
 are whole have no need of a 
 
u 
 
 f-

 physician ; but they that are 
 sick. 
 
 41 But go ye and learn 
 what this meaneth, I desire 
 mercy, and not sacrifice : for 
 I came not to call the right- 
 eous, but sinners to repent- 
 ance. 
 
 42 Then come to him the 
 disciples of John, saying. 
 Why do we and the Phari- 
 sees fast oft, but thy disci- 
 ples fast not? 
 
 43 And Jesus said unto 
 them, Can the sons of the 
 bride-chamber mourn, as 
 long as the bridegroom is 
 with them? but the days will 
 come, when the bridegroom 
 shall be taken away from 
 them, and then will they 
 fast. 
 
 44 And he spake also a 
 parable unto them ; No man 
 seweth a piece of undressed 
 cloth on an old garment: 
 else that which should fill it 
 up taketh from it, the new 
 from the old, and a worse 
 rent is made. 
 
 45 Neither do men put new 
 wine into old wine-skins: 
 
 else the skins burst, and the 
 wine is spilled, and the 
 skins perish : but they put 
 new wine into fresh wine- 
 skins, and both are pre- 
 served. 
 
 46 And no man having 
 drunk old wine desireth new : 
 for he saith. The old is good. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 THE POOL OF BETHESDA. 
 Spring, A.D.28. 
 
 AFTER these things 
 there was a feast of the 
 Jews; and Jesus went up to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Now there is in Jerusa- 
 lem by the sheep gate a pool, 
 which is called in Hebrew 
 Bethesda, having five 
 porches. 
 
 3 In these lay a multi- 
 tude of them that were sick, 
 blind, halt, withered. 
 
 4 And a certain man was 
 there, which had been thirty 
 and eight years in his in- 
 firmity. 
 
 5 When Jesus saw him ly- 
 ing, and knew that he had 
 been now a long time /// that 
 
82 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 case, he saith unto him, 
 Wouldest thou be made 
 whole? 
 
 6 The sick man answered 
 him, Sir, I have no man, 
 when the water is troubled, 
 to put me into the pool : but 
 while I am coming, another 
 steppeth down before me. 
 
 7 Jestis saith unto him. 
 Arise, take up thy bed, and 
 walk. 
 
 8 And straightway the 
 man was made whole, and 
 took up his bed and walked. 
 
 9 Now it was the sabbath 
 on that day. 
 
 ID So the Jews said unto 
 him that was cured. It is the 
 sabbath, and it is not lawful 
 for thee to take up thy bed. 
 
 1 1 But he answered them, 
 He that made me whole, the 
 same said unto me. Take up 
 thy bed, and walk. 
 
 12 They asked him, Who 
 is the man that said unto 
 thee. Take up t/iy bed, and 
 walk? 
 
 13 But he that was healed 
 wist not who it was ; for 
 Jesus had conveyed himself 
 
 away, a multitude being in 
 the place. 
 
 14 Afterward Jesus find- 
 eth him in the temple, and 
 said unto him. Behold, thou 
 art made whole ; sin no more, 
 lest a worse thing befall 
 thee. 
 
 15 The man went away, 
 and told the Jews that it was 
 Jesus which had made him 
 whole. 
 
 16 And for this cause did 
 the Jews persecute Jesus, 
 because he did these things 
 on the sabbath. 
 
 17 But Jesus answered 
 them. My F'ather worketh 
 even until now, and I work. 
 
 18 For this cause therefore 
 the Jews sought the more to 
 kill him, because he not only 
 brake the sabbath, but also 
 called God his own Father, 
 making himself equal with 
 God. 
 
 19 Jesus therefore answer- 
 ed and said unto them. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, The Son can do nothing 
 of himself, but what he seeth 
 the Father doing : for what 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 85 
 
 things soever he doeth, these 
 the Son also doeth in like 
 manner. 
 
 20 For the Father loveth 
 the Son, and sheweth him all 
 things that himself doeth : 
 and greater works than these 
 will he shew him, that ye 
 may marvel. 
 
 21 For as the Father 
 raiseth the dead and quick- 
 eneth thein, even so the Son 
 also quickeneth whom he 
 will. 
 
 22 For neither doth the 
 Father judge any man, but 
 he hath given all judgement 
 unto the Son ; 
 
 23 That all may honour 
 the Son, even as they honour 
 the Father. He that hon- 
 oureth not the Son honoureth 
 not the Father which sent 
 him. 
 
 24 Verily, verity, I say un- 
 to you, He that heareth my 
 word, and believeth him 
 that sent me, hath eternal 
 life, and cometh not into 
 judgement, but hath passed 
 out of death into life. 
 
 25 Verily, verily, I say 
 
 unto you. The hour cometh, 
 and now is when the dead 
 shall hear the voice of the 
 Son of God; and they that 
 hear shall live. 
 
 26 For as the Father hath 
 life in himself, even so gave 
 he to the Son also to have 
 life in himself : 
 
 27 And he gave him au- 
 thority to execute judgement 
 because he is the Son of 
 man. 
 
 28 Marvel not at this : for 
 the hour cometh, in which 
 all that are in the tombs 
 shall hear his voice, 
 
 29 And shall come forth ; 
 they that have done good, 
 unto the resurrection of life ; 
 and they that have done ill 
 tmto the resurrection of 
 judgement. 
 
 30 I can of myself do noth- 
 ing: as I hear, I judge: and 
 my judgement is righteoiis; 
 because, I seek not mine 
 own will, but the will of him 
 that sent me. 
 
 ' 3 1 If I bear witness of my- 
 self my witness is not true. 
 32 It is another that bear- 
 
THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 eth witness of me; and I 
 know that the witness which 
 he witnesseth of me is true. 
 
 33 Ye have sent unto John, 
 and he hath borne witness 
 unto the truth. 
 
 34 But the witness which 
 I receive is not from man: 
 howbeit I say these things, 
 that ye may be saved. 
 
 35 He was the lamp that 
 burneth and shineth : and ye 
 were willing to rejoice for a 
 season in his light. 
 
 36 But the witness which 
 I have is greater than that of 
 John: for the works which 
 the Father hath given me to 
 accomplish, the very works 
 that I do, bear witness of 
 me, that the Father hath 
 sent me. 
 
 37 And the Father which 
 sent me, he hath borne wit- 
 ness of me. Ye have 
 neither heard his voice at 
 any time, nor seen his form. 
 
 38 And ye have not his 
 word abiding in you: for 
 whom he sent, him ye be- 
 lieve not. 
 
 39 Ye search the scrip- 
 
 tures, because ye think that 
 in them ye have eternal life : 
 and these are they which 
 bear witness of me ; 
 
 40 And ye will not come 
 to me, that ye may have life. 
 
 4 1 I receive not glory from 
 men. 
 
 42 But I know you, that 
 ye have not the love of God 
 in yourselves. 
 
 43 I am come in my Fath- 
 ers name, and ye receive me 
 not : if another shall come in 
 his own name, him ye will 
 receive. 
 
 44 How can ye believe, 
 which receive glory one of 
 another, and the glory that 
 Cometh from the only God ye 
 seek not? 
 
 45 Think not that I will ac- 
 cuse you to the Father: 
 there is one that accuseth 
 you, even Moses, on whom 
 ye have set your hope. 
 
 46 For if ye believed Mo- 
 ses, ye would believe me ; for 
 he wrote of me. 
 
 47 But if ye believe not 
 his writings, how shall ye 
 believe my words?

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 THE SABBATH MADE FOR MAN. 
 May, A.D.28. 
 
 NOW it came to pass on a 
 sabbath, that he was go- 
 ing through the cornfields; 
 and his disciples plucked the 
 ears of corn, and did eat, 
 rnbbing them in their hands. 
 
 2 But the Pharisees, when 
 they saw it, said unto him, 
 Behold, thy disciples do that 
 which is not lawful to do up- 
 on the sabbath. 
 
 3 And Jesus answering 
 them said. Have ye not read 
 even this, what David did, 
 when he was an hungred, 
 he, and they that were with 
 him ; 
 
 4 How he entered into the 
 house of God when Abiathar 
 was high priest, and did eat 
 the shewbread, which it is 
 not lawful to eat save for the 
 priests, and gave also to them 
 that were with him? 
 
 5 Or have ye not read in 
 the law, how that on the sab- 
 bath day the priests in the 
 temple profane the sabbath, 
 and are guiltless? 
 
 6 But I say unto you, that 
 one greater than the temple 
 is here. 
 
 7 But if ye had known 
 what this meaneth, I desire 
 mercy, and not sacrifice, ye 
 would not have condemned 
 the guiltless. 
 
 8 And he said unto them, 
 The sabbath was made for 
 man, and not man for the 
 sabbath : 
 
 9 So that the Son of man 
 is lord even of the sabbath. 
 
 THE WITHERED HAND. 
 June, A.D.28. 
 
 ID And it came to pass on 
 another sabbath, that he en- 
 tered into the synagogue 
 and taught: and there was 
 a man there, and his right 
 hand was withered, 
 
 1 1 And the scribes and 
 the Pharisees watched him, 
 whether he would heal on 
 the sabbath ; that they might 
 find how to accuse him. 
 
 12 And they asked him, 
 saying. Is it lawful to heal 
 on the sabbath day? 
 
 13 But he knew their 
 
90 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 thoughts; and he said to the 
 man that had his hand with- 
 ered, Rise up, and stand 
 forth in the midst. 
 
 14 And he arose and stood 
 forth. 
 
 15 And Jesus said unto 
 them, I ask you. Is it lawful 
 on the sabbath to do good, 
 or to do harm? to save a life, 
 or to destroy it? 
 
 16 But they held their 
 peace. 
 
 17 And he said unto them. 
 What man shall there be of 
 you, that shall have one 
 sheep, and if this fall into a 
 pit on the sabbath day, will 
 he not lay hold on it, and lift 
 it out? 
 
 18 How much then is a 
 m^an of more value than a 
 sheep! Wherefore it is law- 
 ful to do good on the sab- 
 bath day. 
 
 19 And when he had look- 
 ed round about on them wnth 
 anger, being grieved at the 
 hardening of their heart, he 
 saith unto the man. Stretch 
 forth thy hand. 
 
 20 And he stretched it 
 
 forth ; and it was restored 
 whole, as the other. 
 
 21 But the Pharisees were 
 filled with madness; and 
 communed one with another 
 what they might do to Je- 
 sus. 
 
 22 And went out, and 
 straightway with the Hero- 
 dians took counsel against 
 him, how they might de- 
 stroy him. 
 
 23 And Jesus perceiving 
 it withdrew from thence: 
 and many followed him ; 
 and he healed them all, 
 
 24 And a great multitude 
 from Galilee followed : and 
 from Judffia, and from Jeru- 
 salem, and from Idumaea, 
 and beyond Jordan, and 
 about Tyre and Sidon, hear- 
 ing what great things he 
 did, came unto him. 
 
 25 And he spake to his 
 disciples, that a little boat 
 shotild wait on him because 
 of the crowd, lest they should 
 throng him : 
 
 26 For he had healed 
 many ; insomuch that as 
 many as had plagues pressed 
 
Jesus Restores a Withered Hand. 
 
upon him that they 
 touch htm. 
 
 27 And the unclean spirits, 
 whensoever they beheld 
 him, fell down before him, 
 and cried, saying, Thou art 
 the Son of God. 
 
 28 And he charged them 
 mitch that they should not 
 make him known. 
 
 29 That it might be ful- 
 filled which was spoken 
 by Isaiah the prophet, say- 
 ing, 
 
 30 Behold, my servant 
 whom I have chosen ; 
 
 31 My beloved in whom 
 my sotil is well pleased: 
 
 32 I will put my Spirit 
 upon him, 
 
 iVnd he shall declare judge- 
 ment to the Gentiles. 
 
 33 He shall not strive, nor 
 cry aloud ; 
 
 Neither shall any one hear 
 his voice in the streets. 
 
 34 A bruised reed shall he 
 not break. 
 
 And smoking flax shall he 
 not quench, 
 
 Till he send forth judge- 
 ment unto victory.

 might

 35 And in his name shall 
 the Gentiles hope. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 ALL NIGHT IN PRAYER. 
 
 Midsummer, A.D.28. 
 
 AND it came to pass 
 in these days, that he 
 went out into the moi:ntain 
 to pray; and he continued 
 all night in prayer to God. 
 
 2 And when it was day, 
 he called his disciples: and 
 he chose from them twelve, 
 whom also he named apos- 
 tles; 
 
 3 That they might be with 
 him, and that he might send 
 them forth to preach, and to 
 have authority to cast out 
 devils: 
 
 4 Now the names of the 
 twelve apostles are these : 
 
 5 The first, Simon, who is 
 called Peter, and Andrew his 
 brother; James the son of 
 Zebedee, and John his 
 brother ; 
 
 6 And them he surnamed 
 Boanerges, which is, Sons of 
 thunder :

 mew, and Matthew the pub- 
 lican, and Thomas, and 
 fames the son of Alphastis, 
 and Simon the Cananaean, 
 which was called the Zealot, 
 and Judas the son of James, 
 
 8 And Judas Iscariot, 
 which also betrayed him. 
 
 9 And he came down with 
 them, and stood on a level 
 place, and a great multitude 
 of his disciples, and a great 
 number of the people from 
 all Judaea and Jerusalem, 
 and the sea coast of Tyre 
 and Sidon, which came to 
 hear him, and to be healed 
 of their diseases ; 
 
 ID And they that were 
 troubled with unclean spirits 
 were healed. 
 
 1 1 And all the multitude 
 sought to touch him : for 
 power came forth from him, 
 and healed them all. 
 
 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. 
 Midsummer, A.D.28. 
 
 12 And seeing the multi- 
 tudes, he went up into the 
 mountains : and when he had 
 sat down, his disciples came 
 unto him : and he opened his 
 
 mouth and taught them, say- 
 ing. 
 
 13 Blessed are the poor 
 in spirit: for theirs is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 14 Blessed are they that 
 mourn: for they shall be 
 comforted. 
 
 1 5 Blessed are the meek : 
 for they shall inherit the 
 earth. 
 
 16 Blessed are they that 
 hunger and thirst after 
 righteousness : for they shall 
 be filled. 
 
 17 Blessed are the merci- 
 ful : for they shall obtain 
 mercy. 
 
 18 Blessed are the pure in 
 heart: for they shall see 
 God. 
 
 19 Blessed are the peace- 
 makers : for they shall be 
 called sons of God. 
 
 20 Blessed are they that 
 have been persecuted for 
 righteousness' sake : for 
 theirs is the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 21 Blessed are ye when 
 men shall reproach you, and 
 persecute you, and say all

 manner of evil against you 
 falsely, for my sake. 
 
 22 Rejoice, in that day, 
 and X^Si-^forjoy: 
 
 23 Rejoice, and be exceed- 
 ing- glad: for great is your 
 reward in heaven : for so 
 persecuted they the prophets 
 which were before you. 
 
 24 But w^oe unto you that 
 are rich ! for ye have receiv- 
 ed your consolation. 
 
 25 Woe unto you, ye that 
 are full now! for ye shall 
 hunger. 
 
 26 Woe unto yoii, ye that 
 laugh now ! for you shall 
 mourn and weep. 
 
 27 y^oQ tnito you, when all 
 men shall speak well of you ! 
 for in the same manner did 
 their fathers to the false 
 prophets. 
 
 28 Ye are the salt of the 
 earth : but if the salt have 
 lost its savour, wherewith 
 shall it be salted? it is 
 thenceforth good for noth- 
 ing, but to be cast out 
 and trodden under foot of 
 men. 
 
 29 Ye are the light of the 
 
 world. A city set on a hill 
 cannot be hid. 
 
 30 Neither do ??icn light a 
 lamp, and put it under the 
 bushel, but on the stand; 
 and it shineth unto all that 
 are in the house. 
 
 31 Even so let your light 
 shine before men, that they 
 may see your good works, 
 and glorify your Father 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 32 Think not that I came 
 to destroy the law or the 
 prophets : I came not to de- 
 stroy, but to fulfill. 
 
 33 Verily I say unto you. 
 Till heaven and earth pass 
 away, one jot or one tittle 
 shall in no wise pass away 
 from the law, till all things 
 be accomplished. 
 
 34 Whosoever therefore 
 shall break one of these least 
 commandments, and shall 
 teach men so, shall be called 
 least in the kingdom of 
 heaven: but whosoever shall 
 do and teach them, he shall 
 be called great in the king- 
 dom of heaven. 
 
 35 For I say unto you, that 
 
98 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 except your righteousness 
 shall exceed the righteousness 
 of the scribes and Pharisees, 
 ye shall in no wise enter into 
 the .kingdom of heaven. 
 
 36 Ye have heard that it 
 was said to them of old time, 
 Thou shalt not kill; and 
 whosoever shall kill shall be 
 in danger of the judgement: 
 
 37 But I say unto you, that 
 every one who is angry with 
 his brother shall be in dan- 
 ger of the judgement; and 
 whosoever shall say to his 
 brother, Raca, shall be in 
 danger of the council ; and 
 whosoever shall say. Thou 
 fool, shall be in danger of 
 the hell of fire. 
 
 38 If therefore thou art of- 
 fering thy gift at the altar, 
 and there rememberest that 
 thy brother hath aught 
 against thee, 
 
 39 Leave there thy gift be- 
 fore the altar, and go thy 
 way, first be reconciled to 
 thy brother, and then come 
 and offer thy gift. 
 
 40 Agree with thine ad- 
 versary quickly, whiles thou 
 
 art with him in the way; 
 lest haply the adversary de- 
 liver thee to the judge, and 
 the judge deliver thee to the 
 officer, and tliou be cast into 
 prison. 
 
 41 Verily I say unto thee, 
 Thou shalt by no means 
 come out thence, till thou 
 have paid the last farthing. 
 
 42 Ye have heard that it 
 was said, Thou shalt not 
 commit adultery; 
 
 43 But I say unto you, 
 that every one that looketh 
 on a woman to lust after her 
 hath committed adultery 
 with her already in his 
 heart. 
 
 44 And if thy right eye 
 causeth thee to stumble, 
 pluck it out, atid cast it from 
 thee : for it is profitable for 
 thee that one of thy mem- 
 bers should perish, and not 
 thy whole body be cast into 
 hell. 
 
 45 And if thy right hand 
 causeth thee to stumble, cut 
 it off, and cast it from thee : 
 for it is profitable for thee 
 that one of thy members 
 
The Sermon on the Mount. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 101 
 
 should perish, and not thy 
 whole body go into hell. 
 
 46 It was said also, Who- 
 soever shall put away his 
 wife, let him give her a writ- 
 ing of divorcement : 
 
 47 But I say unto you, that 
 every one that ptitteth away 
 his wife, saving for the cause 
 of fornication, maketh her 
 an adultress : and whosoever 
 shall marry her when she is 
 put away committeth adult- 
 ery. 
 
 48 Again, ye have heard 
 that it was said to them of old 
 time, Thou shalt not forswear 
 thyself, but shalt perform 
 unto the Lord thine oaths : 
 
 49 But I say unto you, 
 Swear not at all ; neither by 
 the heaven, for it is the 
 throne of God; 
 
 50 Nor by the earth, for it 
 is the footstool of his feet; 
 nor by Jerusalem, for it is 
 the city of the great King. 
 
 5 1 Neither shalt thou 
 swear by thy head, for thou 
 canst not make one hair 
 white or black. 
 
 52 But let your speech be. 
 
 Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and 
 whatsoever is more than 
 these is of the evil one. 
 
 53 Ye have heard that it 
 was said, An eye for an eye, 
 and a tooth for a tooth : 
 
 54 But I say unto you. Re- 
 sist not him that is evil : but 
 whosoever smiteth thee on 
 thy right cheek, turn to him 
 the other also. 
 
 55 And if any man would 
 go to law with thee, and take 
 away thy coat, let him have 
 thy cloke also. 
 
 56 And whosoever shall 
 compel thee to go one mile, 
 go with him twain. 
 
 57 Give to him that asketh 
 thee, and from him that 
 would borrow of thee turn 
 not thou away. 
 
 58 And of him that taketh 
 away thy goods ask them not 
 again. 
 
 59 And as ye would that 
 men should do to you, do ye 
 also to them likewise. 
 
 60 Ye have heard that it 
 was said. Thou shalt love 
 thy neighbour, and hate 
 thine enemy : 
 
102 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 6 1 But I say unto you 
 which hear. Love your ene- 
 mies, do good to them that 
 hate you, bless them that 
 curse you, pray for them 
 that despitefully use you 
 and persecute you. 
 
 62 That ye may be sons 
 of your Father which is in 
 heaven : for he maketh his 
 sun to rise on the evil and 
 the good and sendeth rain on 
 the just and the unjust. 
 
 63 For if ye love them that 
 love you, what reward have 
 ye? do not even the publi- 
 cans the same? 
 
 64 And if ye salute yotir 
 brethren only, what do ye 
 more than others ? do not even 
 the Gentiles the same? 
 
 65 And if ye lend to them 
 of whom 5^e hope to receive, 
 what thank have ye? even 
 sinners lend to sinners, to 
 receive again as much. 
 
 66 But love yotir enemies, 
 and do than good, and lend, 
 never despairing; and your 
 reward shall be great, and 
 ye shall be sons of the 
 Most High : for he is kind 
 
 toward the unthankful and 
 evil. 
 
 67 Be ye merciful, even 
 as your Father is merciful. 
 
 68 Ye therefore shall be 
 perfect, as your heavenly 
 Father is perfect. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 TAKE heed that ye do 
 not your righteousness 
 before men, to be seen of 
 them : else ye have no re- 
 ward with your Father 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 2 When therefore thou 
 doest alms, sound not a trum- 
 pet before thee, as the hypo- 
 crites do in the synagogues 
 and in the streets, that they 
 may have glory of men. Ver- 
 ily I say unto you, They have 
 received their reward. 
 
 3 But when thou doest 
 alms, let not thy left hand 
 know what thy right hand 
 doeth: 
 
 4 That thine alms may be 
 in secret: and thy Father 
 which seeth in secret shall 
 recompense thee.

 shall not be as the hypo- 
 crites : for they love to stand 
 and pray in the synagogues 
 and in the comers of the 
 streets, that they may be 
 seen of men. Verily I say 
 unto you, They have re- 
 ceived their reward. 
 
 6 But thou, when thou 
 prayest, enter into thine in- 
 ner chamber, and having 
 shut thy door, pray to thy 
 Father which is in secret, 
 and thy Father which seeth 
 in secret shall recompense 
 theo. 
 
 7 And in praying use not 
 vain repetitions, as the Gen- 
 tiles do : for they think that 
 they shall be heard for their 
 much speaking. 
 
 8 Be not therefore like un- 
 to them : for 5'our Father 
 knoweth what things ye have 
 need of, before ye ask him. 
 
 9 After this manner there- 
 fore pray ye : Our Father 
 which art in heaven. Hal- 
 lowed be thy name. 
 
 10 Thy kingdom come. 
 Thy will be done, as in 
 heaven, so on earth. 
 
 1 1 Give us this day our 
 daily bread. 
 
 12 And forgive us our 
 debts, as we also have for- 
 given our debtors. 
 
 13 And bring us not into 
 temptation, but deliver us 
 from the evil om-. 
 
 14. For thine is the kingdom, and 
 the power, and the glory, for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 [Supplied from A. V.] 
 
 15 For if j-e forgive men 
 their trespasses, your heav- 
 enly Father will also forgive 
 you. 
 
 16 But if ye forgive not 
 men their trespasses, neither 
 will your Father forgive 
 your trespasses. 
 
 1 7 Moreover when ye fast, 
 be not, as the hypocrites, 
 of a sad countenance : for 
 they disfigfure their faces, 
 that they may be seen of 
 men to fast. Verily I say 
 imto you. They have re- 
 ceived their reward. 
 
 iS But thou, when thou 
 fastest, anoint thy head, and 
 wash thy face ; 
 
 19 That thou be not seen 
 of men to fast, but of thv

 thee. 
 
 20 Lay not up for your- 
 selves treasures upon the 
 earth, where moth and rust 
 doth consume, and where 
 thieves break through and 
 steal : 
 
 21 But lay up for your- 
 selves treasures in heaven, 
 where neither moth nor rust 
 doth consume, and where 
 thieves do not break through 
 nor steal : 
 
 20 For where thy treas- 
 ure is, there will thy heart 
 be also. 
 
 23 The lamp of the body 
 is the eye : if therefore thine 
 eye be single, thy whole 
 body shall be full of light. 
 
 24 But if thine eye be evil, 
 thy whole body shall be full 
 of darkness. If therefore 
 the light that is in thee be 
 darkness, how great is the 
 darkness ! 
 
 25 No man can serve two 
 masters : for either he will 
 hate the one, and love the 
 
 other; or else he will hold 
 to one, and despise the other. 
 Ye cannot serve God and 
 mammon. 
 
 26 Therefore I say unto 
 you. Be not anxious for your 
 life, what ye shall eat, or 
 what ye shall drink ; nor yet 
 for your body, what ye shall 
 put on. Is not the life more 
 than the food, and the body 
 than the raiment? 
 
 27 Behold the birds of the 
 heaven, that they sow not, 
 neither do they reap, nor 
 gather into barns ; and your 
 heavenly Father f e e d e t h 
 them. Are not ye of much 
 more value than they? 
 
 28 And which of you by 
 being anxious can add one 
 cubit unto his stature? 
 
 29 And why are ye anx- 
 ious concerning raiment? 
 Consider the lilies of the 
 field, how they grow; they 
 toil not, neither do they spin : 
 
 30 Yet I say unto you, that 
 even Solomon in all his 
 glory was not arrayed like 
 one of these. 
 
 31 But if God doth so

 clothe the grass of the field, 
 which to-day is, and to-mor- 
 row is cast into the oven, 
 shall he not much more clothe 
 you, O ye of little faith? 
 
 32 Be not therefore anx- 
 ious, saying. What shall we 
 eat? or. What shall we drink? 
 or. Wherewithal shall we be 
 clothed? 
 
 33 For after all these 
 things do the Gentiles seek; 
 for your heavenly Father 
 knoweth that ye have need 
 of all these things. 
 
 34 Btit seek ye first his 
 kingdom, and his righteous- 
 ness; and all these things 
 shall be added unto you. 
 
 35 Be not therefore anx- 
 ious for the morrow : for the 
 morrow will be anxious for 
 itself. Sufficient unto the 
 day is the evil thereof. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 JUDGE not, that ye be not 
 judged. For with what 
 judgement ye judge, ye 
 shall be judged : and with 
 what measure ye mete, it 
 shall be measured unto you. 
 
 2 And why beholdest thou 
 the mote that is in thy broth- 
 ers eye, but considerest not 
 the beam that is in thine 
 own eye? 
 
 3 Or how wilt thou sa}^ to 
 thy brother. Let me cast out 
 the mote out of thine eye ; 
 and lo, the beam is in thine 
 own eye? 
 
 4 Thou hypocrite, cast out 
 first the beam out of thine 
 own eye ; and then shalt 
 thou see clearly to cast out 
 the mote out of thy brother's 
 ej-e. 
 
 5 Give not that which is 
 holy unto the dogs, neither 
 cast your pearls before the 
 swine, lest haply they tram- 
 ple them under their feet, 
 and turn and rend 3'ou. 
 
 6 Ask, and it shall be 
 given you ; seek, and ye shall 
 find ; knock, and it shall be 
 opened t;nto you : 
 
 7 For every one that ask- 
 eth receiveth; and he that 
 seeketh findeth; and to him 
 that knocketh it shall be 
 opened. 
 
 8 Or what man is there of 
 
110 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 you, who, if his son shall ask 
 him for a loaf, will give him 
 a stone ; 
 
 9 Or if he shall ask for a 
 fish, will give him a serpent? 
 
 10 If ye then, being evil, 
 know how to give good gifts 
 unto your children, how 
 much more shall your Father 
 which is in heaven give good 
 things to them that ask him? 
 
 1 1 All things therefore 
 whatsoever ye would that 
 men should do unto you, 
 even so do ye also unto them : 
 for this is the law and the 
 prophets. 
 
 12 Enter ye in by the nar- 
 row gate : for wide is the 
 gate, and broad is the way, 
 that leadeth to destruction, 
 and many be they that enter 
 in thereby. 
 
 13 For narrow is the gate, 
 and straitened the way, 
 that leadeth unto life, and 
 few be they that find it. 
 
 14 Beware of false pro- 
 phets, which come to you 
 in sheep's clothing, but in- 
 wardly are ravening wolves. 
 
 1 5 By their fruits ye shall 
 
 know them. Do men gather 
 grapes of thorns, or figs of 
 thistles? . 
 
 16 Even so every good 
 tree bringeth forth good 
 fruit ; but the corrupt tree 
 bringeth forth evil fruit. 
 
 17 A good tree cannot 
 bring forth evil fruit, neither 
 can a corrupt tree bring- 
 forth good fruit. 
 
 18 The good man out of 
 the good treasure of his 
 heart bringeth forth that 
 which is good; and the evil 
 man out of the evil treasure 
 bringeth forth that which is 
 evil, for out of the abund- 
 ance of the heart his mouth 
 speaketh. 
 
 19 Therefore by their 
 fruits ye shall know them. 
 
 20 Every tree that bring- 
 eth not forth good fruit is 
 hewn down, and cast into the 
 fire. 
 
 21 And why call ye me. 
 Lord, Lord, and do not the 
 things which I say? 
 
 22 Not every one that saith 
 unto me. Lord, Lord, shall 
 enter into the kingdom of

 heaven; but he that doeth 
 the will of my Father which 
 is in heaven. 
 
 23 Many will say to me in 
 that day, Lord, Lord, did we 
 not prophesy by thy name, 
 and by thy name cast out 
 devils, and by thy name do 
 many mighty works? 
 
 24 And then will I profess 
 unto them, I never knew 
 you : depart from me, ye 
 that work iniquity. 
 
 25 Every one therefore 
 which heareth these words 
 of mine, and doeth them, 
 shall be likened unto a wise 
 man, which built his house 
 upon the rock: 
 
 26 And the rain descend- 
 ed, and the floods came, and 
 the winds blew, and beat 
 upon that house ; and it fell 
 not : for it was founded upon 
 the rock. 
 
 27 And every one that 
 heareth these words of mine, 
 and doeth them not, shall be 
 likened unto a foolish man, 
 which built his house upon 
 the sand : 
 
 28 And the rain descend- 
 
 ed, and the floods came, and 
 the winds blew, and smote 
 upon that house ; and it fell : 
 and great was the fall there- 
 of. 
 
 29 And it came to pass, 
 when Jesus ended these 
 words, the multitudes were 
 astonished at his teaching. 
 
 30 For he taught them as 
 one having authority, and 
 not as their scribes. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIL 
 
 THE centurion's FAITH. 
 Midsummer, A.D. 28. 
 
 AFTER he had ended all 
 his sayings in the ears 
 of the people, he entered into 
 Capernaum. 
 
 2 And a certain centu- 
 rion's servant, who was dear 
 imto him, was sick and at 
 the point of death. 
 
 3 And when he heard con- 
 cerning Jesus, he sent un- 
 to him elders of the Jews, 
 asking him that he would 
 come and save his servant. 
 
 4 And saying. Lord, my 
 servant lieth in the house 
 sick of the palsy, grievously 
 tormented. 
 
114 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 5 And they, when they 
 came to Jesus, besought him 
 earnestly, saying. He is wor- 
 thy that thou shouldest do 
 this for him : 
 
 6 For he loveth our nation, 
 and himself built us our 
 synagogue. 
 
 7 And Jesus saith, I will 
 come and heal him. 
 
 8 And when he was now 
 not far from the house, the 
 centurion sent friends to 
 him, saying unto him. Lord, 
 trouble not thyself : for I am 
 not worthy that thou should- 
 est come under my roof : 
 
 9 Wherefore neither 
 thought I myself worthy to 
 come unto thee : but say 
 the word, and my servant 
 shall be healed. 
 
 ID Fori also am a man set 
 under authority, having un- 
 der myself soldiers: and I 
 say to this one. Go, and he 
 goeth ; and to another. Come, 
 and he cometh ; and to my 
 servant, Do this, and he 
 doeth it. 
 
 1 1 And when Jesus heard 
 these things, he marvelled 
 at him, and turned and said 
 
 unto the multitude that fol- 
 lowed him, I say unto you, I 
 have not found so great 
 faith, no, not in Israel. 
 
 12 And I say unto you, 
 that many .shall come from 
 the east and the west, and 
 shall sit down with Abra- 
 ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, 
 in the kingdom of heaven : 
 
 13 But the sons of the 
 kingdom shall be cast forth 
 into the outer darkness: 
 there shall be the weeping 
 and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 14 And Jesus said. Go thy 
 way ; as thou hast believed, 
 so be it done unto thee, and 
 the servant was healed in 
 that hour. 
 
 THE widow's son. 
 
 15 And it came to pass 
 soon afterwards, that he went 
 to a city called Nain ; and 
 his disciples went with him, 
 and a great multitude. 
 
 16 Now when he drew 
 near to the gate of the city, 
 behold there was carried out 
 one that was dead, the only 
 son of his mother, and she 
 was a widow : and much peo- 
 ple of the city was with her. 
 
The Widow's Son Restored to Life. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 11" 
 
 1 7 And when the Lord saw 
 her, he had compassion on 
 her, and said unto her. Weep 
 not. 
 
 1 8 And he came nigh and 
 touched the bier: and the 
 bearers stood still. And he 
 said, Young man, I say unto 
 thee, Arise. 
 
 19 And he that was dead 
 sat up, and began to speak. 
 And he gave him to his 
 mother. 
 
 20 And fear took hold on 
 all: and they glorified God, 
 saying, A great prophet is 
 arisen among us: and, God 
 hath visited his people. 
 
 21 And this report went 
 forth concerning him in the 
 whole of Judaea, and all the 
 region round about. 
 
 22 And the disciples of 
 John told him of all these 
 things. 
 
 23 And John calling unto 
 him two of his disciples sent 
 them to the Lord, saying, 
 Art thou he that cometh, or 
 look we for another? 
 
 Midsummer, A. D. 28. 
 
 24 And when the men 
 
 were come unto him, they 
 said, John the Baptist hath 
 sent us unto thee, saying. 
 Art thou he that cometh, or 
 look we for another? 
 
 25 In that hour he cured 
 many of diseases and plagues 
 and evil spirits; and on 
 many that were blind be- 
 stowed sight. 
 
 26 And he answered and 
 said unto them. Go your way, 
 and tell John what things ye 
 have seen and heard; the 
 blind receive their sight, the 
 lame walk, the lepers are 
 cleansed, and the deaf hear, 
 the dead are raised up, the 
 poor have good tidings 
 preached to them. 
 
 27 And blessed is he, who- 
 soever shall find none occa- 
 sion of stumbling in me. 
 
 28 And when the messen- 
 gers of John were departed, 
 he began to say unto the 
 multitudes concerning John, 
 What went ye out into the 
 wilderness to behold? a reed 
 shaken with the wind? 
 
 29 But what went ye out to 
 see? a man clothed in soft 
 
118 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 raiment? Behold, they which 
 are gorgeously apparelled, 
 and live delicately are in 
 kings' courts. 
 
 30 But what went ye out to 
 see? a prophet? Yea, I say 
 unto you, and much more 
 than a prophet. 
 
 31 This is he of whom it is 
 written. 
 
 Behold, I sent my messen- 
 ger before thy face. 
 
 Who shall prepare thy way 
 before thee. 
 
 32 Verily I say unto you, 
 Among them that are born 
 of women there hath not 
 arisen a greater than John 
 the Baptist : yet he that is 
 but little in the kingdom of 
 heaven is greater than he. 
 
 33 And from the days of 
 John the Baptist until now 
 the kingdom of heaven suf- 
 fereth violence, and men of 
 violence take it by force. 
 
 34 For all the prophets 
 and the law prophesied tmtil 
 John. 
 
 35 And if ye are willing 
 to receive //, this is Elijah, 
 which is to come. 
 
 36 He that hath ears to 
 hear, let him hear. 
 
 37 And all the people when 
 they heard, and the publi- 
 cans, justified God, being 
 baptised with the baptism of 
 John. 
 
 38 But the Pharisees and 
 the lawyers rejected for 
 themselves the counsel of 
 God, being not baptised of 
 him. 
 
 39 And the Lord said: 
 Whereunto then shall I 
 liken the men of this gener- 
 ation, and to what are they 
 like? 
 
 40 They are like unto chil- 
 dren that sit in the market- 
 place, and call one to an- 
 other ; which say. We piped 
 unto you, and ye did not 
 dance ; we wailed, and ye 
 did not weep. 
 
 41 For John the Baptist is 
 come eating no bread nor 
 drinking wine; and ye say. 
 He hath a devil. 
 
 42 The Son of man is come 
 eating and drinking; and ye 
 say. Behold, a gluttonous 
 man, and a winebibber, a

 friend of publicans and sin- 
 ners I 
 
 43 But wisdom is justified 
 of all her children. 
 
 44 Then began he to up- 
 braid the cities wherein most 
 of his mighty works were 
 done, because they repented 
 not. 
 
 45 Woe unto thee, Chora- 
 zin ! woe unto thee, Beth- 
 saidal for if the mighty 
 works had been done in Tyre 
 and Sidon which were done 
 in you, they would have re- 
 pented long ago in sackcloth 
 and ashes. 
 
 46 Howbeit I say unto you, 
 it shall be more tolerable for 
 Tyre and Sidon in the day 
 of judgement, than for you. 
 
 47 And thoti, Capernaum, 
 shalt thou be exalted unto 
 heaven? thou shalt go down 
 unto Hades : for if the migh- 
 ty works had been done in 
 Sodom which were done in 
 thee, it would have remained 
 until this day. 
 
 48 Howbeit I say imto 
 you, that it shall be more 
 tolerable for the land of Sod- 
 
 om in the day of judgement, 
 than for thee. 
 
 49 At that season Jesus an- 
 swered and said, I thank 
 thee, O Father, Lord of heav- 
 en and earth, that thou didst 
 hide these things from the 
 wise and understanding, and 
 didst reveal them unto 
 babes : 
 
 50 Yea, Father, for so it 
 was well-pleasing in thy 
 sight. 
 
 51 All things have been 
 delivered unto me of my 
 Father : and no one knoweth 
 the Son, save the Father; 
 neither doth any know the 
 Father, save the Son, and he 
 to whomsoever the Son will- 
 eth to reveal ////;/. 
 
 52 Come unto me, all ye 
 that labour and are heavy 
 laden, and I will give you 
 rest. 
 
 53 Take my yoke upon 
 you, and learn of me ; for I 
 am meek and lowly in heart : 
 and ye shall find rest unto 
 5-our souls. 
 
 '54 For my 3'oke is easy, 
 and my burden is light.

 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 THE WOMAN A SINNER. 
 
 AND one of the Pharisees 
 desired him that he 
 would eat with him. And 
 he entered into the Phari- 
 see's house, and sat down 
 to meat. 
 
 2 And behold, a woman 
 which was in the city, a 
 sinner; and when she knew 
 that Jesus was sitting at 
 meat in the Pharisee's house, 
 she brought an alabaster 
 cruse of ointment. 
 
 3 And standing behind at 
 his feet, weeping, she began 
 to wet his feet with her tears, 
 and wiped them with the hair 
 of her head, and kissed his 
 feet, and anointed them with 
 the ointment. 
 
 4 Now when the Pharisee 
 which had bidden him saw 
 it, he spoke within himself, 
 saying. This man, if he were 
 a prophet, would have per- 
 ceived who and what man- 
 uer of woman this is which 
 toucheth him, that she is a 
 sinner. 
 
 5 And Jesus answering 
 said unto him, Simon, I have 
 somewhat to say unto thee. 
 And he saith, Master, say on. 
 
 6 A certain lender had two 
 debtors : the one owed five 
 hundred pence, and the other 
 fifty. 
 
 7 When they had not 
 wherewith to pay, he forgave 
 them both. "Which of them 
 therefore will love him 
 most? 
 
 8 Simon answered and 
 said, He, I suppose, to whom 
 he forgave the most. And 
 he said unto him, Thou hast 
 rightly judged. 
 
 9 And turning to the wom- 
 an, he said unto Simon, Seest 
 thou this woman? I entered 
 into thine house, thou gavest 
 me no water for my feet : but 
 she hath wetted my feet with 
 her tears, and wiped them 
 with her hair. 
 
 10 Thou gavest me no 
 kiss : but she, since the time 
 I came in, hath not ceased to 
 kiss my feet. 
 
 1 1 My head with oil thou 
 didst not anoint: but she 
 
Thy Sins are Forgiven." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 125 
 
 hath anointed my feet with 
 ointment. 
 
 12 Wherefore I say unto 
 thee, Her sins, which are 
 many, are forgiven ; for she 
 loved much: but to whom 
 little is forgiven, the same 
 loveth little. 
 
 13 And he said unto her, 
 Thy sins are forgiven. 
 
 14 And they that sat at 
 meat with him began to say 
 within themselves. Who is 
 this that even forgiveth sins? 
 
 15 And he said unto the 
 woman. Thy faith hath 
 saved thee ; go in peace. 
 
 BLASPHEMY. 
 
 16 And it came to pass 
 soon afterwards, that he went 
 about through cities and vil- 
 lages, preaching and bring- 
 ing the good tiditigs of the 
 kingdom of God, and with 
 him the twelve, 
 
 17 And certain women 
 which had been healed of evil 
 spirits and infirmities, Mary 
 that was called Magdalene, 
 from whom seven devils had 
 gone out, 
 
 18 And Joanna the wife of 
 
 Chuza Herod's steward, and 
 Susanna and many others, 
 which ministered unto them 
 of their substance. 
 
 19 And he cometh into a 
 house. 
 
 20 And the multitude com- 
 eth together again, so that 
 they could not so much as 
 eat bread. 
 
 21 And when his friends 
 heard it, they went out to 
 lay hold on hi'ai : for they 
 said, He is be'iide himself. 
 
 Autun.in, A. D. 28. 
 
 2 2 Then was brought iinto 
 him one possessed with a 
 devil, blind and dumb : and 
 he healed him, insomuch 
 that the dumb man spake and 
 saw. 
 
 23 And all the multitudes 
 were amazed, and said, Is 
 this the son of David? 
 
 24 But when the Pharisees 
 heard it, they said, This man 
 doth not cast out devils, but 
 by Beelzebub the prince of 
 the devils. 
 
 25^ But he, knowing their 
 thoughts, said unto them. 
 Every k i n g d o m divided

 against itself is brought to 
 desolation ; and a house di- 
 vided against a house falleth, 
 
 26 And if Satan also is di- 
 vided against himself, how 
 shall his kingdom stand? be- 
 cause ye say that I cast out 
 devils by Beelzebub. 
 
 27 And if I by Beelzebub 
 cast out devils, by whom do 
 your sons cast them out? 
 therefore shall they be your 
 judges. 
 
 28 But if I by the finger of 
 God cast out devils, then is 
 the kingdom of God come 
 upon you. 
 
 29 When the strong man 
 fully armed guardeth his 
 own court, his goods are in 
 peace : 
 
 30 But when a stronger 
 than he shall come upon him, 
 and overcome him, he taketh 
 from him his whole armour 
 wherein he trusted, and di- 
 videth his spoils. 
 
 31 He that is not with me 
 is against me ; and he that 
 gathereth not with me scat- 
 tereth. 
 
 32 Verily I say unto you. 
 
 All their sins shall be for- 
 given unto the sons of men, 
 and their blasphemies 
 wherewith soever they shall 
 blaspheme : 
 
 33 But whosoever shall 
 blaspheme against the Holy 
 Spirit hath never forgiveness 
 but is guilty of an eternal 
 sin : 
 
 34 And whosoever shall 
 speak a word against the Son 
 of man, it shall be forgiven 
 him ; 
 
 35 But whosoever shall 
 speak against the Holy vSpi- 
 rit, it shall not be forgiven 
 him, neither in this world, 
 nor in that which is to come. 
 
 36 Because they said, He 
 hath an unclean spirit. 
 
 37 Either make the tree 
 good, and its fruit good; or 
 make the tree corrupt, and 
 its fruit corrupt : for the tree 
 is known by its fruit. 
 
 38 Ye offspring of vipers, 
 how can ye, being evil, speak 
 good things? for out of the 
 abundance of the heart the 
 mouth speaketh. 
 
 39 The good man out of

 his good treasure bringeth 
 forth good things : and the 
 evil man out of his evil 
 treasure bringeth forth evil 
 things. 
 
 40 And I say unto you, that 
 every idle word that men 
 shall speak, they shall give 
 account thereof in the day 
 of judgment. 
 
 41 For by thy words thou 
 shalt be justified, and by thy 
 words thou shalt be con- 
 demned. 
 
 THE PHARISEES DENOUNCED. 
 
 42 Then certain of the 
 scribes and Pharisees an- 
 swered him, saying, Master, 
 we would see a sign from 
 thee. 
 
 43 But he answered and 
 said unto them, An evil and 
 adulterous generation seek- 
 eth after a sign; and there 
 shall no sign be given to it 
 but the sign of Jonah the 
 prophet . 
 
 44 For as Jonah was three 
 days and three nights in the 
 belly of the whale ; so shall 
 the Son of man be three days 
 
 and three nights in the heart 
 of the earth. 
 
 45 The men of Nineveh 
 shall stand up in the judge- 
 ment with this generation, 
 and shall condemn it: for 
 they repented at the preach- 
 ing of Jonah; and behold, a 
 greater than Jonah is here. 
 
 46 The qiteen of the south 
 shall rise up in the judge- 
 ment with this generation, 
 and shall condemn it: for 
 she came from the ends of 
 the earth to hear the wis- 
 dom of Solomon; and be- 
 hold, a greater than Solo- 
 mon is here. 
 
 47 No man, when he hath 
 lighted a lamp, covereth it 
 with a vessel, or putteth it 
 under a bed ; but putteth it 
 on a stand, that they which 
 enter in may see the light. 
 
 48 The lamp of the body 
 is the eye : if therefore thine 
 eye be single, thy whole 
 body shall be full of light. 
 
 49 But if thine eye be 
 evil, thy whole body shall 
 be full of darkness. If 
 therefore tlie light that is 
 
130 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 in thee be darkness, how 
 great is the darkness ! 
 
 50 Look therefore 
 whether the light that is in 
 thee be not darkness. 
 
 51 If therefore thy whole 
 body be full of light, having 
 no part dark, it shall be 
 wholly full of light, as when 
 the lamp with its bright shin- 
 ing doth give thee light. 
 
 52 The unclean spirit, 
 when he is gone out of the 
 man, passeth through water- 
 less places, seeking rest, and 
 findeth it not. 
 
 53 Then he saith, I will 
 return into my house whence 
 I came out ; and when he is 
 come, he findeth it empty, 
 swept, and garnished. 
 
 54 Then goeth he, and 
 taketh with himself seven 
 other spirits more evil than 
 himself, and they enter in 
 and dwell there : and the 
 last state of that man becom- 
 eth worse than the first. 
 
 55 Even so shall it be also 
 unto this evil generation. 
 
 Autumn, A. D. 28. 
 
 56 While he was yet 
 
 speaking to the multitudes, 
 behold, his mother and his 
 brethren stood without, 
 seeking to speak to him. 
 
 57 And they could not 
 come at him for the crowd. 
 
 58 And one said unto him. 
 Behold, thy mother and thy 
 brethren stand without, 
 seeking to speak to thee. 
 
 59 But he answered and 
 said unto him that told him, 
 Who is my mother? and who 
 are my brethren? 
 
 60 And he stretched forth 
 his hand towards his disci- 
 ples, and said. Behold, my 
 mother and my brethren ! 
 
 61 My mother and my 
 brethren are these which 
 hear the word of God, and 
 do it. 
 
 62 For whosoever shall do 
 the will of my Father which 
 is in heaven, he is my broth- 
 er, and sister, and mother. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 NOW as he spake, a 
 Pharisee asketh him to 
 dine with him : and he went 
 in and sat down to meat.

OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 133 
 
 2 And when the Pharisee 
 saw it, he marvelled that he 
 had not first washed before 
 dinner. 
 
 3 And the Lord said unto 
 him, Now do ye Pharisees 
 cleanse the outside of the 
 cup and of the platter; but 
 your inward part is full of 
 extortion and wickedness. 
 
 4 Ye foolish ones, did not 
 he that made the outside 
 make the inside also? 
 
 5 Howbeit give for alms 
 those things which are with- 
 in; and behold, all things 
 are clean unto you. 
 
 6 But woe unto you Phari- 
 sees ! for ye tithe mint and 
 rue and every herb, and pass 
 over judgement and the love 
 of God : but these ought ye 
 to have done, and not to 
 leave the other undone. 
 
 7 Woe unto you Phari- 
 sees! for ye love the chief 
 seats in the synagogues, and 
 the salutations in the market- 
 places. 
 
 8 Woe unto you! for ye 
 are as the tombs which ap- 
 pear not, and the men that 
 
 walk over them know it 
 not. 
 
 9 And one of the lawyers 
 answering saith unto him. 
 Master, in saying this thou 
 reproachest us also. 
 
 lo And he said. Woe unto 
 you lawyers also! for ye 
 lade men with burdens griev- 
 ous to be borne, and ye 
 yourselves touch not the 
 burdens with one of your 
 fingers. 
 
 11 Woe unto you! for ye 
 build the tombs of the 
 prophets, and your fathers 
 killed them. 
 
 12 So ye are witnesses 
 and consent unto the works 
 of your fathers: for they 
 killed them, and ye build 
 their tombs. 
 
 1 3 Therefore also said the 
 wisdom of God, I will send 
 unto them prophets and 
 apostles; and some of them 
 they shall kill and persecute ; 
 
 14 That the blood of all 
 the prophets, which was 
 shed from the foundation of 
 the* world, may be required 
 of this generation ; 
 
134 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 1 5 From the blood of Abel 
 unto the blood of Zachariah, 
 who perished between the 
 altar and the sanctuary : yea, 
 I say unto you, it shall be re- 
 quired of this generation. 
 
 1 6 Woe unto you lawyers ! 
 for ye took away the key of 
 knowledge : ye entered not 
 in yourselves, and them that 
 were entering in ye hin- 
 dered. 
 
 17 And when he was come 
 out from thence, the scribes 
 and the Pharisees began to 
 press upon him vehemently, 
 and to provoke hiin to speak 
 of many things ; 
 
 18 Laying wait for him, to 
 catch something out of his 
 mouth. 
 
 19 In the mean time, when 
 the many thousands of the 
 multitude were gathered to- 
 gether, insomuch that they 
 trode one upon another, he 
 began to say unto his disci- 
 ples first of all. Beware ye of 
 the leaven of the Pharisees, 
 which is hypocrisy. 
 
 20 There is nothing cov- 
 ered up, that shall not be 
 
 revealed: and hid, that shall 
 not be known. 
 
 21 Wherefore whatsoever 
 ye have said in the darkness 
 shall be heard in the light ; 
 and what ye have spoken in 
 the ear in the inner cham- 
 bers shall be proclaimed up- 
 on the housetops. 
 
 22 And I say unto you my 
 friends. Be not afraid of 
 them which kill the body, 
 and after that have no more 
 that they can do. 
 
 23 But I will warn you 
 whom ye shall fear: Fear 
 him, which after he hath 
 killed hath power to cast into 
 hell; yea, I say unto you, 
 P^ear him. 
 
 24 Are not five sparrows 
 sold for two farthings? and 
 not one of them is forgotten 
 in the sight of God. 
 
 25 But the very hairs of 
 your head are all numbered. 
 Fear not : ye are of more 
 value than many si^arrows. 
 
 26 And I say unto you, 
 Every one who shall confess 
 me before men, him shall 
 the Son of man also con- 
 
Thi: Rich Fool. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 angels of 
 
 13^ 
 
 fess before the 
 God: 
 
 27 But he that denieth nie 
 in the presence of men shall 
 be denied in the presence of 
 the angels of God. 
 
 28 And when they bring 
 you before the synagogues, 
 and the rulers, and the au- 
 thorities, be not anxious how 
 or what ye shall answer, or 
 what ye shall say : 
 
 29 For the Holy Spirit 
 shall teach you in that very 
 hour what ye ought to say. 
 
 30 And one out of the 
 multitude said unto him, 
 Master, bid my brother di- 
 vide the inheritance with me. 
 
 31 But he said unto him, 
 Man, who made me a judge 
 or a divider over you? 
 
 32 And he said unto them, 
 Take heed, and keep your- 
 selves from all covetousness : 
 for a man's life consisteth 
 not in the abundance of the 
 things which he possesseth. 
 
 33 And he spake a parable 
 unto them, saying. The 
 ground of a certain rich man 
 brought forth plentifully : 
 
 34 And he reasoned within 
 himself, saying. What shall 
 I do, because I have not 
 where to bestow my fruits? 
 
 35 And he said. This will 
 I do: I will pull down my 
 barns, and build greater; 
 and there will I bestow all 
 my corn and my goods. 
 
 36 And I will say to my 
 soul, Soul, thou hast much 
 goods laid up for many 
 years; take thine ease, eat, 
 drink, be merry. 
 
 37 But God said unto him, 
 Thou foolish one, this night 
 is thy soul required of thee ; 
 and the things which thou 
 hast prepared, whose shall 
 they be? 
 
 38 So is he that layeth up 
 treasure for himself, and is 
 not rich toward God. 
 
 I 39 And he said unto his 
 disciples, Therefore I say 
 unto you. Be not anxious for 
 yottr life, what ye shall eat ; 
 nor yet for your body, what 
 ye shall put on. 
 
 ,40 For the life is more 
 than the food, and the body 
 than the raiment. 
 
138 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 41 Consider the ravens, 
 that they sow not, neither 
 reai^; which have no store- 
 chamber nor barn ; and God 
 f eedeth them : of how much 
 more value are ye than the 
 birds ! 
 
 42 And which of you by 
 being anxious can add a 
 cubit unto his stature? 
 
 43 If then ye are not able 
 to do even that which is 
 least, why are ye anxious 
 concerning the rest? 
 
 44 Consider the lilies, 
 how they grow : they toil 
 not, neither do they spin; 
 yet I say unto 3^ou, Even 
 Solomon in all his glory was 
 not arrayed like one of these. 
 
 45 But if God doth so 
 clothe the grass in the field, 
 which to-day is, and to-mor- 
 row is cast into the oven ; 
 how much more shall he 
 clothe you, O ye of little 
 faith? 
 
 46 And seek not ye what 
 ye shall eat, and what ye 
 shall drink, neither be ye of 
 doubtful mind. 
 
 47 For all these things do 
 
 the nations of the world seek 
 after: but your Father 
 knoweth that ye have need 
 of these things. 
 
 48 Howbeit seek ye his 
 kingdom, and these things 
 shall be added unto you. 
 
 49 Fear not, little flock; 
 for it is your Father's good 
 pleasure to give you the 
 kingdom. 
 
 50 Sell that ye have, and 
 give alms; make for your- 
 selves purses which wax not 
 old, a treasure in the heavens 
 that faileth not, where no 
 thief draweth near, neither 
 moth destroyeth. 
 
 51 For where your treas- 
 ure is, there will your heart 
 be also. 
 
 52 Let your loins be girded 
 about, and your lamps burn- 
 ing; 
 
 53 And be ye yourselves 
 like unto men looking for 
 their lord, when he shall re- 
 turn from the marriage feast "; 
 that, when he cometh and 
 knocketh, they may straight- 
 way open unto him. 
 
 54 Blessed are those ser- 
 
God Said Unto Him, "Thou Foolish ONt.' 
 
vants, whom the Lord when 
 he Cometh shall find watch- 
 ing : verily I say unto you, 
 that he shall gird himself, 
 and make them sit down to 
 meat, and shall come and 
 serve them. 
 
 55 And if he shall come 
 in the second watch, and if 
 in the third, and find them 
 so, blessed are those ser- 
 vants. 
 
 56 But know this, that if 
 the master of the house had 
 known in what hour the thief 
 was coming, he would have 
 watched, and not have left 
 his house to be broken 
 through. 
 
 57 Be ye also ready: for 
 in an hour that ye think not 
 the Son of man cxjmeth. 
 
 58 And Peter said, Lord, 
 speakest thou this parable 
 unto us, or even unto all? 
 
 59 And the Lord said. 
 Who then is the faithful and 
 wise steward, whom his lord 
 shall set over his household, 
 to give them their portion of 
 food in due season? 
 
 60 Blessed is that servant. 
 
 OF OUR RISEN LORD. 141 
 
 whom his lord when he Com- 
 eth shall find so doing. 
 
 61 Of a truth I say unto 
 you, that he will set him 
 over all that he hath. 
 
 62 But if that servant shall 
 say in his heart. My lord de- 
 layeth his coming ; and shall 
 begin to beat the menser- 
 vants and the maidservants, 
 and to eat and drink, and to 
 be drunken ; 
 
 63 The lord of that ser- 
 vant shall come in a day 
 when he expecteth not, and 
 in an hour when he knoweth 
 not, and shall cut him asun- 
 der, and appoint his portion 
 with the unfaithful. 
 
 64 And that servant, 
 which knew his lord's will, 
 and made not ready, nor did 
 according to his will, shall 
 be beaten with many stripes; 
 
 65 But he that knew not, 
 and did things worthy of 
 stripes, shall be beaten with 
 few stripes. 
 
 66 And to whomsoever 
 much is given, of him shall 
 much be required: and to 
 whom they commit much 
 
143 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 of him will they ask the 
 more. 
 
 67 I came to cast fire upon 
 the earth ; and what will I if 
 it is already kindled? 
 
 68 But I have a baptism 
 to be baptized with ; and how 
 am I straitened till it be ac- 
 complished ! 
 
 69 Think ye that I am 
 come to give peace in the 
 earth? I tell you, Nay; but 
 rather division : 
 
 70 For there shall be from 
 henceforth five in one house 
 divided, three against two, 
 and two against three. 
 
 71 They shall be divided 
 father against son, and son 
 against father ; mother 
 against daughter, and daugh- 
 ter against her mother; 
 mother in law against her 
 daughter in law, and daugh- 
 ter in law against her mother 
 in law. 
 
 72 And he said to the 
 multitudes also, When ye 
 see a cloud rising in the 
 west, straightway ye say, 
 There cometh a shower; and 
 so it cometh to pass. 
 
 73 And when_j'^^^^ a south 
 wind blowing, ye say, There 
 will be a scorching heat ; and 
 it cometh to pass. 
 
 74 Ye hypocrites, ye know 
 how to interpret the face of 
 the earth and the heaven, but 
 how is it that ye know not 
 how to interpret this time? 
 
 75 And why even of your- 
 selves judge ye not what is 
 right? 
 
 76 For as thou art going 
 with thine adversary before 
 the magistrate, on the way 
 give diligence to be quit of 
 him ; lest haply he hale thee 
 unto the judge, and the 
 judge shall deliver thee to 
 the officer, and the officer 
 shall cast thee into prison. 
 
 'J'] I say unto thee, Thoii 
 shalt by no means come out 
 thence, till thou have paid 
 the very last mite. 
 
 78 Now there were some 
 present at that very season 
 which told him of the 
 Galilaeans, whose blood 
 Pilate had mingled with 
 their sacrifices. 
 
 79 And he answered and 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 145 
 
 said unto them, Think ye 
 that these Galilaeans were 
 sinners above all the Galilae- 
 ans, because they have suf- 
 fered these things? 
 
 80 I tell you, Nay: but, 
 except ye repent, ye shall all 
 in like manner perish. 
 
 81 Or those eighteen, up- 
 on whom the tower in Siloam 
 fell, and killed them, think 
 ye that they were offenders 
 above all the men that dwell 
 in Jerusalem? 
 
 82 I tell you. Nay: but, 
 except ye repent, ye shall all 
 likewise perish. 
 
 83 And he spake this para- 
 ble ; A certain man had a fig 
 tree planted in his vineyard ; 
 and he came seeking fruit 
 there on, and found none. 
 
 84 And he said unto the 
 vinedresser. Behold, these 
 three years I come seeking 
 fruit on this fig tree, and find 
 none : cut it down ; why doth 
 it also cumber the ground? 
 
 8 5 And he answering saith 
 unto him. Lord, let it alone 
 this year also, till I shall dig 
 about it, and dung it; 
 
 86 And if it bear fruit 
 thenceforth, well; but if not, 
 thou shalt cut it down. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 THE PARABLES. 
 Autumn, A. D. 28. 
 
 ON that day went Jest:s 
 out of the house, and 
 sat by the sea-side. 
 
 2 And there were gath- 
 ered unto him great multi- 
 tudes, so that he entered 
 into a boat, and sat ; and all 
 the multitude stood on the 
 beach. 
 
 3 And he spake to them 
 many things in parables, 
 saying. Behold, the sower 
 went forth to sow ; 
 
 4 And as he sowed, some 
 seeds fell by the wayside, 
 and the birds came and de- 
 voured them : 
 
 5 And others fell upon 
 the rocky places, where they 
 had not much earth : and 
 straightway they sprang up, 
 because they had no deep- 
 ness of earth : 
 
 6 And when the sun was 
 risen, they were scorched, 
 
146 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and because they had no 
 root, they withered away. 
 
 7 And others fell upon the 
 thorns ; and the thorns grew 
 up, and choked them : 
 
 8 And others fell upon the 
 good ground, and yielded 
 fruit, some a hundredfold, 
 some sixty, some thirty. 
 
 9 He that hath ears, let 
 him hear. 
 
 ID Another parable set he 
 before them, saying, The 
 kingdom of heaven is likened 
 unto a man that sowed good 
 seed in his field : 
 
 1 1 But while men slept, 
 his enemy came and sowed 
 tares also among the wheat, 
 and went away. 
 
 12 But when the blade 
 sprang up, and brought 
 forth fruit, then appeared 
 the tares also. 
 
 1 3 And the servants of the 
 householder came and said 
 unto him. Sir, didst thou not 
 sow good seed in thy field? 
 whence then hath it tares? 
 
 14 And he said unto them. 
 An enemy hath done this. 
 And the servants say unto 
 
 him. Wilt thou then that we 
 go and gather them up? 
 
 15 But he saith. Nay; lest 
 haply while ye gather up the 
 tares, ye root up the wheat 
 with them. 
 
 16 Let both grow together 
 until the harvest : and in the 
 time of the harvest I will say 
 to the reapers. Gather up 
 first the tares, and bind them 
 in bundles to burn them : but 
 gather the wheat into my 
 barn. 
 
 17 And he said. So is the 
 kingdom of God, as if a man 
 should cast seed upon the 
 earth ; 
 
 18 And should sleep and 
 rise night and day, and the 
 seed should spring up and 
 grow, he knoweth not how. 
 
 19 The earth beareth fruit 
 of herself; first the blade, 
 then the ear, then the full 
 corn in the ear. 
 
 20 But when the fruit is 
 ripe, straightway he putteth 
 forth the sickle, because the 
 harvest is come. 
 
 2 1 Another parable set he 
 before them, saying. The 
 
Behold, the Sower Went Forth to Sow. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 149 
 
 kingdom of heaven is like 
 unto a grain of mustard 
 seed, which a man took, and 
 sowed in his field : 
 
 22 Which indeed is less 
 than all seeds ; but when it is 
 grown, it is greater than the 
 herbs, and becometh a tree, 
 so that the birds of the 
 heaven come and lodge in 
 the branches thereof. 
 
 23 Another parable spake 
 he unto them : The kingdom 
 of heaven is like unto leaven, 
 which a woman took, and 
 hid in three measures of 
 meal, till it was all leav- 
 ened. 
 
 24 All these things spake 
 Jesus in parables unto the 
 multitudes; and without a 
 parable spake he nothing 
 unto them : 
 
 25 That it might be ful- 
 filled which was spoken by 
 the prophet, saying, 
 
 I will open my mouth in 
 parables ; 
 
 I will utter things hidden 
 from the foundation of the 
 world. 
 
 26 And the disciples came. 
 
 and said unto him. Why 
 speakest thou unto them in 
 parables? 
 
 27 And he answered and 
 said unto them. Unto you it 
 is given to know the myster- 
 ies of the kingdom of heaven, 
 but to them it is not given. 
 
 28 For whosoever hath, to 
 him shall be given, and he 
 shall have abundance: but 
 whosoever hath not, from 
 him shall be taken away 
 even that which he hath. 
 
 29 Therefore speak I to 
 them in parables; because 
 seeing they see not. and hear- 
 ing they hear not, neither 
 do they understand. 
 
 30 And unto them is ful- 
 filled the prophecy of Isaiah, 
 which saith. 
 
 By hearing ye shall hear, 
 and shall in no wise under- 
 stand ; 
 
 And seeing ye shall see, 
 and shall in no wise per- 
 ceive : 
 
 31 For this people's heart 
 is waxed gross, 
 
 And their ears are dull of 
 hearing. 
 
150 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 And their eyes they have 
 closed ; 
 
 Lest haply they should 
 perceive with their eyes, 
 
 And hear with their ears, 
 
 32 And understand with 
 their heart. 
 
 And should turn again, 
 And I should heal them. 
 
 33 But blessed are your 
 eyes, for they see ; and your 
 ears, for they hear. 
 
 34 For verily I say unto 
 you, that many prophets and 
 righteous men desired to see 
 the things which ye see, and 
 saw them not; and to hear 
 the things which ye hear, 
 and heard them not. 
 
 35 And when he was 
 alone, they that were about 
 him with the twelve asked 
 of him the parables. 
 
 36 And he said, the para- 
 ble of the sower is this : 
 
 37 The seed is the word of 
 God. 
 
 38 The sower soweth the 
 word. 
 
 39 And those by the way 
 side are they that have 
 heard; then cometh the 
 
 devil, and taketh away the 
 word from their heart, that 
 they may not believe and be 
 saved. 
 
 40 And those on the rock 
 a?-e they which, when they 
 have heard, receive the word 
 with joy; and these have no 
 root, which for a while be- 
 lieve, and in time of tempta- 
 tion fall away. 
 
 41 And that which fell 
 among the thorns, these are 
 they that have heard, and as 
 they go on their way they 
 are choked with cares and 
 riches and pleasures of this 
 life, and bring no fruit to 
 perfection. 
 
 42 And that in the good 
 ground, these are such as 
 in an honest and good heart, 
 having heard the word, hold 
 it fast, and bring forth fruit 
 with patience, some a hun- 
 dredfold, some sixty, some 
 thirty. 
 
 43 And he said unto them. 
 Is the lamp brought to be 
 put under the bushel, or un- 
 der the bed, and not to be put 
 on the stand? 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 153 
 
 44 For there is nothing 
 hid, save that it should be 
 manifested . neither was any- 
 tJiing made secret, but that 
 it should come to light. 
 
 45 Take heed therefore 
 how ye hear: for whosoever 
 hath, to him shall be given ; 
 and whosoever hath not, 
 from him shall be taken 
 away even that which he 
 thinketh he hath. 
 
 46 And the disciples say 
 unto him, Explain unto us 
 the parable of the tares of 
 the field. 
 
 47 And he answered and 
 said. He that soweth the 
 good seed is the Son of 
 man; and the field is the 
 world; 
 
 48 The good seed, these 
 are the sons of the kingdom ; 
 and the tares are the sons of 
 the evil one; 
 
 49 And the enemy that 
 sowed them is the devil : 
 and the harvest is the end of 
 the world; and the reapers 
 are angels. 
 
 50 As therefore the tares 
 3.re gathered up and burned 
 
 with fire ; so shall it be in 
 the end of the world. 
 
 51 The Son of man shall 
 send forth his angels, and 
 they shall gather out of his 
 kingdom all things that 
 cause stumbling, and them 
 that do iniquity, and shall 
 cast them into the furnace 
 of fire: there shall be the 
 weeping and gnashing of 
 teeth. 
 
 52 Then shall the right- 
 eous shine forth as the sun in 
 the kingdom of their P'ather. 
 He that hath ears, let him 
 hear. 
 
 5 3 The kingdom of heaven 
 is like unto a treasure hidden 
 in the field; which a man 
 found, and hid; and in his 
 joy he goeth and selleth all 
 that he hath, and buyeth that 
 field. 
 
 54 Again, the kingdom of 
 heaven is like unto a man 
 that is a merchant seeking 
 goodly pearls : 
 
 55 And having found one 
 pearl of great price, he went 
 and sold all that he had, and 
 bought it. 
 
154 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 56 Again, the kingdom 
 of heaven is like unto a 
 net, that was cast into the 
 sea, and gathered of every 
 kind : 
 
 57 Which, when it was 
 filled, they drew up on the 
 beach; and they sat down, 
 and gathered the good into 
 vessels, but the bad they 
 cast away. 
 
 58 So shall it be in the end 
 of the world: the angels 
 shall come forth, and sever 
 the wicked from among the 
 righteous, 
 
 59 And shall cast them in- 
 to the furnace of fire : there 
 shall be the weeping and 
 gnashing of teeth. 
 
 60 Then said Jesus unto 
 them. Have ye understood 
 all these things? They say 
 unto him. Yea. 
 
 61 And he said unto them, 
 Therefore every scribe who 
 hath been made a disciple to 
 the kingdom of heaven is 
 like unto a man that is a 
 householder, which bringeth 
 forth out of his treasure 
 things new and old. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 AND as they went in the 
 way, a certain man said 
 unto him, I will follow thee 
 whithersoever thou goest. 
 
 2 And Jesus said unto him, 
 The foxes have holes, and 
 the birds of the heaven have 
 nests; but the Son of man 
 hath not where to lay his 
 head. 
 
 3 And he said unto an- 
 other. Follow me. But he 
 said. Lord, suffer me first to 
 go and bury my father. 
 
 4 But he said unto him. 
 Leave the dead to bury their 
 own dead ; but go thou and 
 publish abroad the kingdom 
 of God. 
 
 5 And another also said, I 
 will follow thee, Lord; but 
 first suffer me to bid fare- 
 well to them that are at my 
 house. 
 
 6 But Jesus said unto him. 
 No man, having put his 
 hand to the plough, and 
 looking back, is fit for the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 THE TEMPEST STILLED. 
 
 7 And on that day, when 
 
Tin; Pi;akl ov Great Price,

 157 
 
 even was come, he saith un- 
 to them, Let us go over unto 
 the other side. 
 
 8 And leaving the multi- 
 tude, they take him with 
 them, even as he was, in the 
 boat. And other boats were 
 with him. 
 
 9 And there ariseth a 
 great storm of wind, and the 
 waves beat into the boat, in- 
 somuch that the boat was 
 now filling. 
 
 10 And he himself was in 
 the stern, asleep on the 
 cushion ; and they awake 
 him, and say unto him. Mas- 
 ter, carest thou not that we 
 perish? 
 
 1 1 And he awoke, and re- 
 buked the wind, and said 
 unto the sea. Peace, be still. 
 And the wind ceased, and 
 there was a great calm. 
 
 12 And he said unto them. 
 Why are ye fearful? have ye 
 not yet faith? 
 
 13 And they feared ex- 
 ceedingly, and said one to 
 another, Who then is this, 
 that even the wind and the 
 sea obey him? 
 
 THE DKMONS ENTER INTO 
 
 SWINE. 
 
 Autumn, A. D. 28. 
 
 14 And they came to the 
 other side of the sea, into the 
 country of the Gerasenes. 
 
 1 5 And when he was come 
 out of the boat, straightway 
 there met him out of the 
 tombs a man with an un- 
 clean spirit, who had his 
 dwelling in the tombs : 
 
 16 And no man could any 
 more bind him, no, not with 
 a chain ; 
 
 17 Because that he had 
 been often bound with fet- 
 ters and chains, and the 
 chains had been rent asunder 
 by him, and the fetters 
 broken in pieces: and no 
 man had strength to tame 
 him. 
 
 18 And always, night and 
 day, in the tombs and in the 
 mountains, he was crying 
 out, and cutting himself with 
 stones. 
 
 19 And when he saw Jesus 
 from 'afar, he ran and wor- 
 shipped him ; 
 
 20 ^Vnd ci'ying out with a 
 
158 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 loud voice, he saith, "What 
 have I to do with thee, Jesus, 
 thou Son of the Most High 
 God? I adjure thee by God, 
 torment me not. 
 
 21 For he said unto him, 
 Come forth, thou unclean 
 spirit, out of the man. 
 
 22 For oftentimes it had 
 seized him : and he was kept 
 under guard, and bound with 
 chains and fetters; and 
 breaking the bands asunder, 
 he was driven of the devil 
 into the deserts. 
 
 23 And Jesus asked him. 
 What is thy name ? And 
 he said, Legion; for many 
 devils were entered into 
 him. 
 
 24 And they intreated him 
 that he would not command 
 them to depart into the 
 abyss. 
 
 25 Now there was there on 
 the mountain side a great 
 herd of swine feeding. 
 
 26 And they besought 
 him, saying, Send us into the 
 swine, that we may enter 
 into them. 
 
 27 And he said unto them, 
 
 Go. And the unclean spirits 
 came out, and entered into 
 the swine : and the herd 
 rushed down the steep into 
 the sea, i'/i number about two 
 thousand; and they were 
 choked in the sea. 
 
 28 And when they that fed 
 them saw what had come to 
 pass, they fled, and told it in 
 the city and in the country. 
 
 29 And behold, all the city 
 came out to meet Jesus : 
 
 30 And they came and 
 found the man, from whom 
 the devils were gone out, sit- 
 ting, clothed and in his right 
 mind, at the feet of Jesus: 
 and they were afraid. 
 
 31 And they that saw it 
 declared unto them how it 
 befell him that was pos- 
 sessed with devils, and con- 
 cerning the swine. 
 
 32 And all the people of 
 the country of the Garasenes 
 round about asked him to 
 depart from them ; for they 
 were holden with great fear ; 
 
 33 And as he was entering 
 into the boat, he that had 
 
 / been possessed with devils 
 
o 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 161 
 
 besought him that he might 
 be with him. 
 
 34 And he suffered him 
 not, but saith unto him. Go 
 to thy house unto thy 
 friends, and tell them how 
 great things the Lord hath 
 done for thee, and hotv he 
 had mercy on thee. 
 
 35 And he went his way, 
 and began to publish in 
 Decapolis how great things 
 Jesus had done for him : and 
 all men did marvel. 
 
 36 And when Jesus h a d 
 crossed over again in the 
 boat unto the other side, the 
 multitude welcomed him ; 
 for they were all waiting 
 for him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 JAIRUS' DAUGHTER. 
 Autumn, A. D. 28. 
 
 AND there cometh one of 
 the rulers of the syna- 
 gogue, Jairus by name ; and 
 seeing Jesus, he falleth at his 
 feet, 
 
 2 And beseecheth him 
 much, saying, iMy little 
 daughter is at the point of 
 
 death : I pray thee, that thou 
 come and lay thy hands on 
 her, that she may be made 
 whole, and live. 
 
 3 And Jesus arose, and fol- 
 \ lowed him, and so did his 
 
 disciples. 
 
 4 But as he went the mul- 
 titudes thronged him. 
 
 THE ISSUE OF BLOOD. 
 
 5 And behold, a woman, 
 who had an issue of blood 
 twelve years, 
 
 6 And had suffered many 
 things of many physicians, 
 and had spent all that she 
 had, and was nothing bet- 
 tered, but rather grew worse, 
 
 7 Having heard the things 
 concerning Jesus, came in 
 the crowd behind, and 
 touched the border of his 
 garment. 
 
 8 For she said. If I touch 
 but his garments. I shall be 
 made whole. 
 
 9 And straightway the 
 fountain of her blood was 
 dried up ; and she felt in her 
 body that she was healed of 
 her plague. 
 
 10 And straightway Jesus, 
 
163 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 perceiving in himself that 
 the power proceeding from 
 him had gone forth, turned 
 him about in the crowd, and 
 said, Who touched my gar- 
 ments? 
 
 1 1 And his disciples said 
 tmto him. Thou seest the 
 multitude thronging thee, 
 and sayest thou. Who 
 touched me? 
 
 12 But Jesus said, Some 
 one did touch me : 
 
 13 And when the w^oman 
 saw that she was not hid, 
 she came trembling, and 
 falling down before hiin de- 
 clared in the presence of all 
 the people for what cause 
 she touched him, and how 
 she was healed immediately. 
 
 14 And he said unto her, 
 Daughter, be of good cheer, 
 thy faith hath made thee 
 whole; go iti peace, and be 
 whole of thy plague. 
 
 15 And the woman was 
 made whole from that hour. 
 
 16 While he yet spake, 
 there cometh one from the 
 ruler of the synagogue's 
 house, saying. Thy daughter 
 
 is dead; trouble not the 
 Master, 
 
 17 But Jesus, not heeding 
 the word spoken, saith unto 
 the ruler of the synagogue, 
 Fear not, only believe, and 
 she shall be made whole. 
 
 18 And when he came to 
 the house, he suffered not 
 any man to enter in with 
 him, save Peter, and John, 
 and James, and the father of 
 the maiden and her mother. 
 
 19 And when Jesus came 
 into the ruler's house, and 
 saw the flute-players, and 
 the crowd making a tumult, 
 
 20 He saith unto them. 
 Why make ye a tumult, and 
 weep? Give place : for the 
 damsel is not dead, but 
 sleepeth. 
 
 21 And they laughed him 
 to scorn, knowing that she 
 was dead. 
 
 22 And taking the child by 
 the hand, he saith tnito her, 
 Talitha cumi ; which is, be- 
 ing interpreted, Damsel, 
 I say unto thee, Arise. 
 
 23 And her spirit returned. 
 And straightway the damsel 
 
Damsel, 1 Say Unto Thee Arise. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 165 
 
 rose up, and walked ; for she 
 was twelve years old. And 
 he commanded that some- 
 thing be given her to eat. 
 
 24 And her parents were 
 amazed : And he charged 
 them to tell no man what 
 had been done. 
 
 25 But the fame hereof 
 went forth into all that land. 
 
 THE BLIND SEE AND THE 
 DUMB SPEAK. 
 
 26 And as Jesus passed by 
 from thence, two blind men 
 followed him, crying out, 
 and saying. Have mercy on 
 us, thou son of David. 
 
 27 And when he was come 
 into the house, the blind men 
 came to him : and Jesus 
 saith unto them. Believe ye 
 that I am able to do this? 
 They say luito him, Yea, 
 Lord. 
 
 28 Then toviched he their 
 eyes, saying, According to 
 your faith be it done unto 
 you. 
 
 29 And their eyes were 
 opened. And Jesus strictly 
 charged them, saying. See 
 that no man know it. 
 
 30 But they went forth, 
 and spread abroad his fame 
 in all that land. 
 
 3 1 And as they went forth, 
 behold there was brought to 
 him a dumb man possessed 
 with a devil. 
 
 32 And when the devil 
 was cast out, the dumb man 
 spake ; and the multitudes 
 marvelled, saying. It was 
 never so seen in Israel. 
 
 33 But the Pharisees said, 
 By the prince of the devils 
 casteth he out devils. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 Winter, A. n. 29. 
 
 AND Jesus went about all 
 the cities and the vil- 
 lages, teaching in their syna- 
 gogues, and preaching the 
 gospel of the kingdom, and 
 healing all manner of dis- 
 ease and all manner of sick- 
 ness. 
 
 2 But when he saw the 
 multitudes, he was moved 
 with compassion for them, 
 because they were distressed 
 and scattered, as sheep not 
 having a shepherd. 
 
166 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 3 Then saith he unto his 
 disciples, The harvest truly 
 is plenteous, but the labour- 
 ers are few. 
 
 4 Pray ye therefore the 
 Lord of the harvest, that he 
 send forth labourers into his 
 harvest. 
 
 THE TWELVE SENT OUT, 
 
 5 And he called unto him 
 his twelve disciples, and 
 gave them atithority over un- 
 clean spirits, to cast them 
 out, and to heal all manner 
 of disease and all manner of 
 sickness. 
 
 6 And he sent them forth 
 by two and two, to preach 
 the kingdom of God, and to 
 heal the sick. 
 
 7 And charged them, say- 
 ing, Go not into any way of 
 the Gentiles, and enter not 
 into any city of the Samari- 
 tans: 
 
 8 But go rather to the lost 
 sheep of the house of Israel. 
 
 9 And as ye go, preach, 
 saying, The kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 ID Heal the sick, raise the 
 dead, cleanse the lepers, cast 
 
 out devils ; freely ye re- 
 ceived, freely give. 
 
 1 1 Get you no §:old, nor 
 silver, nor brass in your 
 purses ; 
 
 12 No wallet for your 
 journey, neither two coats, 
 nor shoes, nor staff : for the 
 labourer is worthy of his 
 food. 
 
 13 And into whatsoever 
 city or village ye shall enter, 
 search out who in it is wor- 
 thy ; and there abide till ye 
 go forth. 
 
 14 And as ye enter into 
 the house salute it. 
 
 15 And if the house be 
 worthy, let your peace come 
 upon it: but if it be not 
 worthy, let your peace re- 
 turn to you. 
 
 16 And whatsoever place 
 shall not receive you, and 
 they hear you not, as ye 
 go forth thence, shake off 
 the dust that is under your 
 feet for a testimony unto 
 them. 
 
 17 Verily I say unto you, 
 It shall be more tolerable for 
 the land of Sodom and Go- 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 169 
 
 morrah in the day of judge- 
 ment, than for that city. 
 
 1 8 Behold, I send you forth 
 as sheep in the midst of 
 wolves : be ye therefore wise 
 as serpents, and harmless as 
 doves. 
 
 19 But beware of men: 
 for they will deliver 3'ou tip 
 to councils, and in their 
 synagogues they will 
 scourge you ; 
 
 20 Yea and before gover- 
 nors and kings shall ye be 
 brought for my sake, for a 
 testimony to them and to 
 the Gentiles. 
 
 21 But when they deliver 
 you up, be not anxious how 
 or what ye shall speak : for 
 it shall be given you in that 
 hour what ye shall speak. 
 
 22 For it is not ye that 
 speak, but the Spirit of your 
 Father that speaketh in you. 
 
 23 And brother shall de- 
 liver up brother to death, 
 and the father his child : and 
 children shall rise up against 
 parents, and cause them to 
 be put to death. 
 
 24 And ye shall be hated 
 
 of all men for my name's 
 sake : but he that endure th 
 to the end, the same shall 
 be saved. 
 
 25 But when they perse- 
 cute you in this city, flee in- 
 to the next : for verily I say 
 unto you, Ye shall not have 
 gone through the cities of 
 Israel, till the Son of man be 
 come. 
 
 26 A disciple is not above 
 his master, nor a servant 
 above his lord. 
 
 27 It is enough for the 
 disciple that he be as his 
 master, and the servant as 
 his lord. If they have 
 called the master of the 
 house Beelzebub, how much 
 more shall they call them of 
 his household ! 
 
 28 Fear them not there- 
 fore: for there is nothing 
 covered, that shall not be re- 
 vealed; and hid, that shall 
 not be known. 
 
 29 What I tell you in the 
 darkness, speak ye in the 
 light ; and what ye hear in 
 the ear, proclaim upon the 
 housetops. 
 
170 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 30 And be not afraid of 
 them which kill the body, 
 but are not able to kill the 
 soul ; but rather fear him 
 which is able to destroy 
 both soul and body in hell. 
 
 31 Are not two sparrows 
 sold for a farthing? and not 
 one of them shall fall on the 
 ground without your Father : 
 
 32 But the very hairs of 
 your head are all numbered. 
 
 33 Fear not therefore ; ye 
 are of more value than many 
 sparrows. 
 
 34 Every one therefore 
 who shall confess me before 
 men, him will I also confess 
 before my Father which is 
 in heaven. 
 
 35 But whosoever shall 
 deny me before men, him 
 will I also deny before my 
 Father which is in heaven. 
 
 36 Think not that I came 
 to send peace on the earth : 
 I came not to send peace, 
 but a sword. 
 
 37 For I came to set a 
 man at variance against his 
 father, and the daughter 
 against her mother, and the 
 
 daughter in law against her 
 mother in law : 
 
 38 And a man's foes shall 
 be they of his own household. 
 
 39 He that loveth father 
 or mother more than me is 
 not worthy of me; and he 
 that loveth son or daughter 
 more than me is not worthy 
 of me. 
 
 40 And he that doth not 
 take his cross and follow 
 after me, is not worthy of 
 me. 
 
 41 He that findeth his life 
 shall lose it ; and he that 
 loseth his life for my sake 
 shall find it. 
 
 42 He that receiveth you 
 receivetli me, and he that re- 
 ceiveth me receiveth him 
 that sent me. 
 
 43 He that receiveth a 
 prophet in the name of a 
 prophet shall receive a 
 prophet's reward; and he 
 that receiveth a righteous 
 man in the name of a righte- 
 ous man shall receive a 
 righteous man's reward. 
 
 44 And whosoever shall 
 give to drink unto one of 
 
John the Baptist Beheaded.

 these little ones a ctip of 
 cold water only, in the name 
 of a disciple, verily I say 
 unto you, he shall in no wise 
 lose his reward. 
 
 45 And it came to pass, 
 when Jesus had made an 
 end of commanding his 
 twelve disciples, he departed 
 thence to teach and to preach 
 in their cities. 
 
 46 And they departed, and 
 went throughout the vil- 
 lages, preaching the gospel, 
 and healing everywhere. 
 
 47 And they cast out 
 many devils, and anointed 
 with oil many that were sick, 
 and healed them. 
 
 THE BAPTIST BEHEADED. 
 
 48 At that season Herod 
 the tetrarch heard the report 
 concerning Jesus, for his 
 name had become known. 
 
 49 And he said, John the 
 Baptist is risen from the 
 dead, and therefore do these 
 powers work in him. 
 
 50 But others said. It is 
 Elijah. And others said. It 
 is a prophet, even as one of 
 the prophets. 
 
 51 But Herod said, John, 
 
 whom I beheaded, he is 
 risen. 
 
 52 For Herod had sent 
 forthandlaidholdupon John, 
 and bound him in prison 
 for the sake of Herodias. 
 And when he would have 
 put him to death, he feared 
 the multitude, because they 
 counted him as a prophet. 
 
 53 P'or John said unto 
 Herod, It is not lawful for 
 thee to have thy brother's 
 wife. 
 
 54 And Herodias set her- 
 self against him, and desired 
 to kill him; and she could 
 not, 
 
 55 For Herod feared John, 
 knowing that he was a 
 righteous man and a holy, 
 and kept him safe. And 
 when he heard him, he was 
 mtich perplexed; and he 
 heard him gladly. 
 
 56 And when a convenient 
 day was come, that Herod 
 on his birthday made a sup- 
 per to his lords, and the 
 high captains, and the chief 
 men' of Galilee; 
 
 57 And w^hen the daughter 
 of Herodias herself came in 
 
174 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and danced, she pleased 
 Herod and them that sat at 
 meat with him ; and the 
 king said unto the damsel, 
 Ask of me whatsoever thou 
 wilt, and I will give it thee. 
 
 58 And he sware unto her, 
 Whatsoever thou shalt ask 
 of me, I will give it thee, un- 
 to the half of my kingdom. 
 
 59 And she went out, and 
 said unto her mother. What 
 shall I ask? And she said, 
 The head of John the Baptist. 
 
 60 And she came in 
 straightway with haste unto 
 the king, and asked, saying, 
 I will that thou forthwith 
 give me in a charger the 
 head of John the Baptist. 
 
 61 And the king was ex- 
 ceeding sorry, but for the 
 sake of his oaths, and of 
 them that sat at meat, he 
 would not reject her. 
 
 March, a. p. 29. 
 
 62 And straightway the 
 king sent forth a soldier of 
 his guard, and commanded 
 to bring his head : and he 
 went and beheaded John in 
 prison, 
 
 63 And brought his head 
 in a charger, and gave it to 
 the damsel ; and the damsel 
 gave it to her mother. 
 
 64 And when his disciples 
 heard thereof, they came and 
 took up his corpse, and laid 
 it in a tomb, and went and 
 told Jesus. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 THE FIVE THOUSAND FED. 
 
 AND the apostles gather- 
 ed themselves together 
 i:nto Jesus; and they told 
 him all things, whatsoever 
 they had done, and whatso- 
 ever they had taught. 
 
 2 And he saith unto them. 
 Come ye yourselves apart 
 into a desert place, and rest 
 a while. For there were 
 many coming and going, and 
 they had no leisure so much 
 as to eat. 
 
 3 And they went away in 
 the boat to the other side of 
 the sea of Galilee, which is 
 the sea of Tiberias, to a de- 
 sert place apart. 
 
 4 And the people saw them 
 going, and many knew them.

 177 
 
 and they ran there together 
 on foot from all tnc cities, 
 and outwent them. 
 
 5 Because they beheld the 
 signs which he did on them 
 that were sick. 
 
 6 And he came forth and 
 saw a great multitude, and 
 he had compassion on them, 
 because they were as sheep 
 not having a shepherd . 
 
 7 And he welcomed them, 
 and he spake to them of 
 the kingdom of God, and 
 them that had need of heal- 
 ing he healed. 
 
 8 And the day began to 
 wear away ; and the twelve 
 came, and said unto him. 
 Send the multitiKle away, 
 that they may go into the 
 villages and country round 
 about, and lodge, and get 
 victuals : for we are here m 
 a desert place. 
 
 9 But he answered and 
 said, mito them. Give ye 
 them to eat. And they say 
 unto him. Shall we go and 
 buy two hundred penny- 
 worth of bread, and give 
 them to eat? 
 
 10 Jesus saith unto Philip, 
 Whence are we to buy bread, 
 that these may eat? 
 
 1 1 And this he said to 
 prove him : for he himself 
 knew what he woiild do. 
 
 12 Philip answered him, 
 Two hundred pennyworth of 
 bread is not sufficient for 
 them, that every one may 
 take a little. 
 
 13 And he saith unto them, 
 How many loaves have ye? 
 go and see. 
 
 14 One of his disciples, 
 Andrew, Simon Peter's 
 brother, saith unto him, 
 There is a lad here, which 
 hath five barley loaves, and 
 two fishes: but what are 
 these among so many? 
 
 15 Jesus said, Make the 
 people sit down. Now there 
 was much grass in the place. 
 
 16 And they sat down in 
 ranks, by hundreds, and by 
 fifties. 
 
 April, A D. 29. 
 
 1 7 And Jesus took the five 
 loaves and the two fishes, 
 and looking up to heaven, he 
 blessed and brake the loaves ; 
 
178 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and he gave to the disciples 
 to set before them ; and the 
 two fishes divided he among 
 them all. 
 
 1 8 And they did all eat, 
 and were filled. 
 
 19 And when they were 
 filled, he saith unto his 
 disciples, Gather up the 
 broken pieces which remain 
 over, that nothing be lost. 
 
 20 And they took up 
 broken pieces, twelve bas- 
 ketfuls, and also of the 
 fishes. 
 
 21 And they that did eat 
 were abotit five thousand 
 men, beside women and 
 children. 
 
 22 When therefore the 
 people saw the sign which 
 he did, they said, This is of 
 truth the prophet that com- 
 eth into the world. 
 
 23 Jesus therefore perceiv- 
 ing that they were about to 
 come and take him bj- force, 
 to make him king, 
 
 24 Straightway he con- 
 strained his disciples to en- 
 ter into the boat, and to go 
 before ////// unto the other 
 
 side to Bethsaida, while he 
 himself sendeth the multi- 
 tude away. 
 
 25 And after he had sent 
 the multitudes away, he 
 went up into the mountain 
 apart to pray : and when 
 even was come, he was there 
 alone. 
 
 26 And the sea was rising 
 by reason of a great wind 
 that blew. 
 
 27 But the boat was now 
 in the midst of the sea, dis- 
 tressed by the waves, for the 
 wind was contrary. 
 
 JESUS WALKS ON THE SEA. 
 April, A. D. 29. 
 
 28 And seeing them dis- 
 tressed in rowing, for the 
 wind was contrary unto 
 them, about the fourth 
 watch of the night he cometh 
 unto them, walking on the 
 sea; and he would have 
 passed by them : 
 
 29 But they, when they 
 saw him walking on the sea, 
 supposed that it was an ap- 
 parition, and cried out : 
 
 30 For they all saw him 
 and were troubled. But he 
 
" LOKI), SA\h Mh. " 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 181 
 
 straightway spake with 
 them, and saith unto them, 
 Be of good eheer: it is I ; be 
 not afraid. 
 
 31 And Peter answered 
 him and said. Lord, if it be 
 thou, bid me come unto thee 
 upon the waters. And he 
 said. Come. 
 
 32 And Peter went down 
 from the boat, and walked 
 upon the waters, to come 
 to Jesus. 
 
 33 But when he saw the 
 wind, he was afraid; and be- 
 ginning to sink, he cried out, 
 saying. Lord, save me. 
 
 34 And immediately 
 Jesus stretched forth his 
 hand, and took hold of him, 
 and saith unto hiin, O thou 
 of little faith, wherefore 
 didst thou doubt? 
 
 35 And when they were 
 gone up into the boat, the 
 wind ceased, and they were 
 sore amazed in themselves ; 
 
 36 For they understood 
 not concerning the loaves, 
 but their heart was hard- 
 ened. 
 
 37 And straightway the 
 
 boat was at the land whither 
 they were going. 
 
 38 And they that were in 
 the boat worshipped him, 
 saying, Of a truth thou art 
 the Son of u /d. 
 
 39 They came to the land 
 Gennesaret, and moored to 
 the shore. 
 
 40 And when they were 
 come out of the boat, 
 straightway the people knew 
 him. 
 
 41 And ran round about 
 that whole region, and began 
 to carry about on their beds 
 those that were sick, where 
 they heard he was. 
 
 42 And wheresoever he 
 entered, into villages, or into 
 cities, or into the country, 
 they laid the sick in the 
 inarketplaces, and besought 
 him that they might touch 
 if it were but the border of 
 his garment: and as many 
 as touched him were made 
 whole. 
 
 THE BREAD OF LIKE. 
 
 4^3 On the morrow the 
 multitude which stood on the 
 other side of the sea saw 
 
183 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 that there was none other 
 boat there, save one, and 
 that Jesus entered not with 
 his disciples into the boat, 
 but that his disciples went 
 away alone. 
 
 44 (Howbeit there came 
 boats from Tiberias nigrh un- 
 to the place where they ate 
 the bread after the Lord had 
 given thanks) : 
 
 45 When the multitude 
 therefore saw that Jesus was 
 not there, neither his disci- 
 ples, they themselves got 
 into the boats, and came to 
 Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 
 
 46 And when they found 
 him on the other side of the 
 sea, they said unto him. 
 Rabbi, when camest thou 
 hither? 
 
 47 Jesus answered them 
 and said. Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you. Ye seek me, 
 not because ye saw signs, 
 but because ye ate of the 
 loaves, and were filled. 
 
 48 Work not for the meat 
 which perisheth, but for the 
 meat which abideth tmto 
 eternal life, which the Son 
 
 of man shall give unto you : 
 for him the Father, even 
 God, hath sealed. 
 
 49 They said therefore un- 
 to him. What must we do, 
 that we may work the works 
 of God? 
 
 50 Jesus answei'ed and 
 said unto them. This is the 
 work of God, that ye be- 
 lieve on him whom he hath 
 sent. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 THEY said therefore unto 
 him. What then doest 
 thou for a sign, that we may 
 see, and believe thee? what 
 workest thou? 
 
 2 Our fathers ate the man- 
 na in the wilderness ; as it is 
 written. He gave them bread 
 out of heaven to eat. 
 
 3 Jesus therefore said un- 
 to them, Verily, verily, I sa}' 
 unto you, It was not Moses 
 that gave you the bread out 
 of heaven ; but my Father 
 giveth you the true bread 
 out of heaven. 
 
 4 P'or the bread of God is 
 that which co:neth down out 
 
" lliM THAT Cometh to Me I Will in No Wise Cast Out." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 
 givcth life 
 
 185 
 
 of heaven, and 
 unto the world. 
 
 5 They said therefore unto 
 him, Lord, evermore give us 
 this bread. 
 
 6 Jesus said unto them, I 
 am the bread of life : he that 
 Cometh to me shall not hun- 
 ger, and he that believeth 
 on me shall never thirst. 
 
 7 But I said unto you, that 
 ye have seen me, and yet be- 
 lieve not. 
 
 8 All that which the 
 Father giveth me shall come 
 unto me ; and him that com- 
 eth to me I will in no wise 
 cast out. 
 
 9 For I am come down 
 from heaven, not to do mine 
 own will, but the will of him 
 that sent me. 
 
 10 And this is the will of 
 him that sent me, that of all 
 that which he hath given me 
 I should lose nothing, but 
 should raise it up at the last 
 day. 
 
 1 1 For this is the will of 
 my Father, that every one 
 that beholdeth the Son, and 
 believeth on him, should 
 
 have eternal life ; and I will 
 raise him up at the last day. 
 
 12 The Jews therefore 
 murmured concerning him, 
 because he said, I am the 
 bread which came down out 
 of heaven. 
 
 13 And they said, Is not 
 this Jesus, the son of Joseph, 
 whose father and mother we 
 know? how doth he now say, 
 I am come down out of 
 heaven? 
 
 14 Jesus answered and 
 said unto them. Murmur not 
 among yourselves. 
 
 15 No man can come to 
 me, except the Father which 
 sent me draw him : and I 
 will raise him up in the last 
 day. 
 
 16 It is written in the 
 prophets. And they shall all 
 be taught of God. Every 
 one that hath heard from 
 the Father, and hath learned, 
 cometh unto me. 
 
 17 Not that any man hath 
 seen the Father, save he 
 which is from God, he hath 
 seen the Father. 
 
 18 Verily, verily, I say 
 
186 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 unto you, He that believeth 
 hath eternal life. 
 
 19 I am the bread of life. 
 
 20 Your fathers did eat 
 the manna in the wilderness, 
 and they died. 
 
 2 1 This is the bread which 
 Cometh down out of heaven, 
 that a man may eat thereof, 
 and not die. 
 
 22 I am the living bread 
 which came down out of 
 heaven : if any man eat of 
 this bread, he shall live for 
 ever: yea and the bread 
 which I will give is my flesh, 
 for the life of the world. 
 
 23 The Jews therefore 
 •strove one with another, say- 
 ing, How can this man give 
 us his flesh to eat? 
 
 24 Jesus therefore said un- 
 to them. Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, Except ye eat 
 the flesh of the Son of man 
 and drink his blood, ye have 
 not life in yourselves. 
 
 25 He that eateth my 
 flesh and drinketh my blood 
 hath eternal life ; and I will 
 raise him up at the last day. 
 
 26 For my flesh is meat 
 
 indeed, and my blood is 
 drink indeed. 
 
 27 He that eateth my 
 flesh and drinketh my blood 
 abideth in me, and I in him. 
 
 28 As the living Father 
 sent me, and I live because 
 of the P'ather; so he that 
 eateth me, he also shall live 
 because of me. 
 
 29 This is the bread which 
 came down out of heaven : 
 not as the fathers did eat, 
 and died : he that eateth this 
 bread shall live for ever. 
 
 30 These things said he in 
 the synagogue, as he taught 
 in Capernaum. 
 
 31 Many therefore of his 
 disciples, when they heard 
 this, said. This is a hard say- 
 ing; who can hear it? 
 
 32 But Jesus knowing in 
 himself that his disciples 
 murmured at this, said tmto 
 them. Doth this cause you to 
 stumble? 
 
 33 Wliat then if ye should 
 behold the Son of man as- 
 cending where he was be- 
 fore? 
 
 34 It is the spirit that 
 
iM 02 
 
 i- 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 
 quickeneth ; the flesh profit- 
 eth nothing : the words that 
 I have spoken unto you are 
 spirit, and are life. 
 
 35 But there are some of 
 you that believe not. For 
 Jesus knew from the begin- 
 ning who they were that be- 
 lieved not. and who it was 
 that should betray him. 
 
 36 And he said, For this 
 cause have I said unto you, 
 that no man can come luito 
 me, except it be given unto 
 him of the Father. 
 
 37 Upon this many of his 
 disciples went back, and 
 walked no more with him. 
 
 38 Jesiis said therefore un- 
 to the twelve. Would ye 
 also go away? 
 
 39 Simon Peter answered 
 him, Lord, to whom shall 
 we go? thou hast the words 
 of eternal life. 
 
 40 And we have believed 
 and know that thou art the 
 Holy One of God. 
 
 41 Jesus answered them. 
 Did not I choose you the 
 twelve, and one of you is a 
 devil? 
 
 189 
 
 42 Now he spake of Judas 
 the son of Simon Iscariot, for 
 he it was that should betray 
 him, being one of the twelve. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 THE TRADITIONS OF MEN. 
 
 AND there are gathered 
 together unto him the 
 Pharisees, and certain of the 
 scribes, which had come 
 from Jerusalem, 
 
 2 And had seen that some 
 of his disciples ate their 
 bread with defiled, that is, 
 unwashen, hands. 
 
 3 For the Pharisees, and 
 all the Jews, except they 
 wash their hands diligently, 
 eat not, holding the tradi- 
 tion of the elders : 
 
 4 And u<hen they come from 
 the marketplace, except they 
 wash themselves, they eat 
 not ; and many other things 
 there be, which they have re- 
 ceived to hold, washings of 
 cups, and pots, and brasen 
 vessels. 
 
 5 And the Pharisees and 
 scribes ask him, ^\^ly walk 
 not thy disciples according 
 
190 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 to the tradition of the el- 
 ders, but eat their bread 
 with defiled hands? 
 
 6 And he answered and 
 said unto them, Why do ye 
 also transgress the com- 
 mandment of God because 
 of your tradition? 
 
 7 Full well do ye reject 
 the cominandment of God, 
 that ye may keep your tra- 
 dition. 
 
 8 For Moses said, Honour 
 thy father and thy mother; 
 and. He that speaketh evil 
 of father or mother, let him 
 die the death : but ye say, 
 
 9 If a man shall say to his 
 father or his mother. That 
 wherewith thou mightest 
 have been profited by me is 
 Corban, that is to say, Given 
 to God; 
 
 10 Ye no longer suffer him 
 to do aught for his father or 
 his mother; making void 
 the v/ord of God by your tra- 
 dition, which ye have deliv- 
 ered: and many svich like 
 things ye do. 
 
 1 1 And he said unto them, 
 Well did Isaiah prophesy of 
 
 you hypocrites, as it is writ- 
 ten. 
 
 This people honoureth me 
 with their lips. 
 
 But their heart is far from 
 me. 
 
 But in vain do they wor- 
 ship me, 
 
 12 Teaching as their doc- 
 trines the precepts of men. 
 
 1 3 Ye leave the command- 
 ment of God, and hold fast 
 the tradition of men. 
 
 14 And he called to him 
 the multitude again, and 
 said unto them. Hear me all 
 of you, and understand : 
 
 15 there is nothing from 
 without the man, that going 
 into him can defile him : but 
 the things which proceed out 
 of the man are those that de- 
 file the man. 
 
 16 And when he was en- 
 tered into the house from 
 the multitude, 
 
 17 Then came the disci- 
 ples, and said unto him, 
 Knowest thou that the Phari- 
 sees were offended, when 
 they heard this saying? 
 
 18 But he answered and 
 
t ' II 
 
 Jesus and the Syrophenician Woman. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 193 
 
 said, Every plant which my 
 heavenly Father planted 
 not, shall be rooted up. 
 
 19 Let them alone: they 
 are blind guides. And if 
 the blind guide the blind, 
 both shall fall into a pit. 
 
 20 And Peter answered 
 and said unto him, Declare 
 unto us the parable. 
 
 21 And he said. Are ye 
 also even yet without under- 
 standing? 
 
 22 Perceive ye not, that 
 whatsoever from w i t h o u t 
 goeth into the man, // can- 
 not defile him ; 
 
 23 Because it goeth not 
 into his heart, but into his 
 belly, and goeth out into the 
 draught? This he said, mak- 
 ing all meats clean. 
 
 24 But the things which 
 proceed out of the mouth 
 come forth out of the heart ; 
 and they defile the man. 
 
 25 For from within, out 
 of the heart of men, evil 
 thoughts proceed, 
 
 26 Fornications, thefts, 
 murders, adulteries, covet- 
 ings, wickednesses, deceit, 
 
 lasciviousness, and evil eye, 
 railing, pride, foolishness: 
 
 27 These are the things 
 which defile the man : but to 
 eat with unwashen hands de- 
 fileth not the man. 
 
 THE .SVROPHCENICIAN WOMAN, 
 May, A. D. 29. 
 
 28 And from thence Jesus 
 arose, and went away into 
 the borders of Tyre and Si- 
 don. And he entered into a 
 house, and would have no 
 man know it : and he could 
 not be hid. 
 
 29 But straightway a 
 woman, whose little daugh- 
 ter had an unclean spirit, 
 having heard of him, came 
 and fell down at his feet. 
 
 30 The woman was a 
 Greek, a Syrophoenician by 
 race; a Canaanitish woman. 
 
 3 1 And cried, saying. Have 
 mercy on me, O Lord, thou 
 son of David; my daughter 
 is grievously vexed with a 
 devil. 
 
 32 But he answered her 
 not a' word. And his disci- 
 ples came and besought him, 
 
194 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 saying, Send her away ; for 
 she crieth after ns. 
 
 33 But he answered and 
 said, I was not sent but unto 
 the lost sheep of the house 
 of IsraeL 
 
 34 But she came and wor- 
 shipped him, saying. Lord, 
 help me. 
 
 35 And he said unto her. 
 Let the children first be 
 filled : for it is not meet to 
 take the children's bread 
 and cast it to the dogs. 
 
 36 But she answered and 
 saith unto him. Yea, Lord: 
 even the dogs under the 
 table eat of the children's 
 crumbs. 
 
 37 Then Jesus answered 
 and said unto her, O woman, 
 great is thy faith: be it 
 done unto thee even as thou 
 wilt. 
 
 38 For this saying go thy 
 way; the devil is gone out 
 of thy daughter. 
 
 39 And she went away 
 unto her house, and found 
 the child laid upon the bed, 
 and the devil gone out. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIL 
 
 SPEECH GIVEN. 
 June, A. D. 29. 
 
 A ND again he went out 
 -^~*- from the borders of 
 Tyre, and came through 
 Sidon unto the sea of Gali- 
 lee, through the midst of 
 the borders of Decapolis. 
 
 2 And they bring unto him 
 one that was deaf, and had 
 an impediment in his speech ; 
 and they beseech him to lay 
 his hand upon him. 
 
 3 And he took him aside 
 from the miTltitude pri- 
 vately, and put his fingers 
 into his ears, and lie spat, 
 and touched his tongue ; 
 
 4 And looking up to 
 heaven, he sighed, and saith 
 unto him, Ephphatha, that 
 is, Be opened. 
 
 5 And his ears were 
 opened, and the bond of his 
 tongue was loosed, and he 
 spake plain. 
 
 6 And he charged them 
 that they should tell no man : 
 but the more he charged 
 them, so much the more a 
 great deal they published it.

 7 And they were beyond 
 measure astonished, saying, 
 He hath done all things well : 
 he maketh even the deaf to 
 hear, and the dumb to speak. 
 
 8 And Jesus departed 
 thence, and came nigh unto 
 the sea of Galilee; and he 
 went up into the mountain, 
 and sat there. 
 
 the' LAME AND BLIND AND 
 MAIMED. 
 
 9 And there came unto 
 him great multitudes, hav- 
 ing with them the lame, 
 blind, dumb, maimed, and 
 many others, and they cast 
 them down at his feet ; and 
 he healed them : 
 
 ID Insomuch that the mul- 
 titude wondered, when they 
 saw the dumb speaking, the 
 maimed whole, and the lame 
 walking, and the blind see- 
 ing: and they glorified the 
 God of Israel. 
 
 THE FOUR THOUSAND FED. 
 
 1 1 In those days, when 
 there was again a great mul- 
 titude, and they had noth- 
 ing to eat. he called unto him 
 
 his disciples, and saith unto 
 them, 
 
 1 2 I have compassion on 
 the multitude, because they 
 continue with me now three 
 days,and have nothingto eat : 
 
 13 And if I send them 
 away fasting to their home, 
 they will faint in the way; 
 and some of them are come 
 from far. 
 
 14 And his disciples an- 
 swered him, Whence shall 
 one be able to fill these men 
 with bread here in a desert 
 jDlace? 
 
 15 And he asked them, 
 How many loaves have ye? 
 
 16 And they said, seven. 
 And he commandeth the 
 iTiultitude to sit down on 
 the ground : and he took the 
 seven loaves, and having 
 given thanks, he brake, and 
 gave to his disciples, to set 
 before them; and they set 
 them before the multitude. 
 
 17 And they had a few 
 small fishes: and having 
 blessed them, he commanded 
 to set these also before them. 
 
 18 And they did eat, and 
 
198 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 were filled: and they took 
 up, of broken pieces that re- 
 mained over, seven baskets. 
 
 19 And they that did eat 
 were four thousand men, 
 beside women and children. 
 And he sent them away. 
 
 20 And straightway he 
 entered into the boat with 
 his disciples, and came into 
 the borders of Magadan, into 
 the parts of Dalmanutha. 
 
 2 1 And the Pharisees came 
 forth, and began to question 
 with him, seeking of him a 
 sign from heaven, tempting 
 him. 
 
 22 And he sighed deeply 
 in his spirit, and said unto 
 them, When it is evening, 
 ye ^Q.y,Itwillbe fair weather : 
 for the heaven is red. 
 
 23 And in the morning, // 
 will be foul weather to-day : 
 for the heaven is red and 
 lowering. Ye know how to 
 discern the face of the 
 heaven ; but ye cannot dis- 
 cern the signs of the times. 
 
 24 An evil and adulterous 
 generation seeketh after a 
 sign ; and there shall no 
 
 sign be given unto it, out 
 the sign of Jonah. 
 
 25 And he left them, and 
 again entering into the boat 
 departed to the other side. 
 
 26 And they forgot to take 
 bread; and they had not in 
 the boat with them more 
 than one loaf. 
 
 27 And he charged them, 
 saying, Take heed, beware 
 of the leaven of the Phari- 
 sees and the leaven of Herod. 
 
 28 And they reasoned 
 among themselves, saying. 
 We took no bread. 
 
 29 And Jesus perceiving 
 it said, O ye of little faith, 
 why reason ye among your- 
 selves, because ye have no 
 bread.-" do ye not 3'et per- 
 ceive, neither understand? 
 have ye your heart hard- 
 ened? 
 
 30 Having eyes, see ye 
 not? and having ears, hear 
 ye not ? 
 
 31 Do ye not yet per- 
 ceive, neither remember the 
 five loaves of the five thou- 
 sand, and how many baskets 
 ye took up? 
 
32 When I brake the five 
 loaves among the five thou- 
 sand, how many baskets full 
 of broken pieces took ye up? 
 They say unto him, Twelve. 
 
 33 And when the seven 
 among the four thousand, 
 how- many basketfuls of 
 broken pieces took ye up? 
 And they say unto him. 
 Seven. 
 
 34 And he said unto them, 
 Do ye not yet understand? 
 
 35 How is it that ye do 
 not perceive that I spake not 
 to you concerning bread? 
 
 36 Beware ot the leaven 
 of the Pharisees and Sad- 
 ducees. 
 
 37 Then understood they 
 how that he bade them not 
 beware of the leaven of 
 bread, but of the teaching 
 of the Pharisees and Sad- 
 ducees. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 June, A. f). 2<). 
 
 A NT) they come unto 
 Bethsaida. And they 
 bring to him a blind man, 
 and beseech him to ttnich 
 him. 
 
 OF OUR RISF.N LORD. 201 
 
 2 And he took hold of the 
 
 blind man by the hand, and 
 brought him out of the vil- 
 lage ; and when he had spit 
 on his eyes, and laid his 
 hands upon him, he asked 
 him, Scest thou aught? 
 
 3 And he looked up, and 
 said, I see men ; for I behold 
 ///em as trees, walking. 
 
 4 Then again he laid his 
 hands upon his eyes; and 
 he looked steadfastly, and 
 was restored, and saw all 
 things clearly. 
 
 5 And he sent him away 
 to his home, saying. Do not 
 even enter into the village. 
 
 6 And Jesus went forth, 
 and his disciples, into the 
 villages of Ctesarea Philippi : 
 
 WHO SAV YE THAT I AM? 
 
 7 And it came to pass, as 
 he was praying alone, the 
 disciples were with him : and 
 he asked them, saying. Who 
 do men say that the Son of 
 man is? 
 
 8 Who do the multitudes 
 say that I am? 
 
 9 And they said, some say 
 
303 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 John the Baptist; some, 
 Elijah: and others, Jere- 
 miah, or one of the old 
 prophets risen again. 
 
 10 He saith unto them, 
 But who say ye that I am? 
 
 1 1 And Simon Peter an- 
 swered and said. Thou art 
 the Christ, the Son of the 
 living God. 
 
 12 And Jesus answered 
 and said unto him, Blessed 
 art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah : 
 for flesh and blood hath not 
 revealed it unto thee, but 
 my Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 13 And I also say unto 
 thee, that thou art Peter, and 
 upon this rock I will build 
 my church ; and the gates 
 of Hades shall not prevail 
 against it. 
 
 14 I will give unto thee 
 the keys of the kingdom of 
 heaven: and whatsoever 
 thou shalt bind on earth 
 shall be bound in heaven . 
 and whatsoever thou shalt 
 loose on earth shall be loosed 
 in heaven. 
 
 15 Then charged he the 
 
 disciples that they should 
 tell no man that he was the 
 Christ. 
 
 JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH. 
 Summer, A. D. zg. 
 
 16 From that time began 
 Jesus to shew unto his disci- 
 ples, how that he must go 
 unto Jerusalem, and suffer 
 many things of the elders 
 and chief priests and scribes, 
 and be killed, and after three 
 days rise again. 
 
 17 And he spake the say- 
 ing openly. 
 
 18 And Peter took him, 
 and began to rebuke him, 
 saying, Be it far from thee, 
 Lord: this shall never be 
 unto thee. 
 
 19 But he turning about, 
 and seeing his disciples, re- 
 buked Peter, and saith. Thou 
 art a stumbling-block unto 
 me : Get thee behind me, 
 Satan : for thou mindest not 
 the things of God, but the 
 things of men. 
 
 20 And he called unto Aim 
 the multitude with his dis- 
 ciples, and said unto them, 
 If any man would come 
 
" Blessed art Thou Simon.' 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 205 
 
 after me, let him deny him- 
 self, and take up his cross, 
 and follow me. 
 
 21 For whosoever would 
 save his life shall lose it; 
 and whosoever shall lose his 
 life for my sake and the gos- 
 pel's shall save it. 
 
 22 For what shall a man 
 be profited, if he shall gain 
 the whole world, and forfeit 
 his life? or what shall a man 
 give in exchange for his life? 
 
 23 For the Son of man 
 shall come in the glory of 
 his Father with his angels ; 
 and then shall he render 
 unto every man according 
 to his deeds. 
 
 24 Whosoever shall be 
 ashamed of me and of my 
 words in this adulterous and 
 sinful generation, the Son of 
 man also shall be ashamed 
 of him, when he cometh in 
 the glory of his Father with 
 the holy angels. 
 
 25 And verily I say unto 
 you. There be some here of 
 them that stand by which 
 shall in no wise taste of 
 death, till they see the king- 
 
 dom of God come with 
 power. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 THE TRANSFIGURATION. 
 Summer, A. D. 29. 
 
 AND after six days Jesus 
 taketh with him Peter, 
 and James, and John his 
 brother, and bringeth them 
 up into a high mountain 
 apart to pray. 
 
 2 And as he was praying, 
 he was transfigured before 
 them : 
 
 3 The fashion of his coun- 
 tenance was altered, and his 
 raiment became white arid 
 dazzling, so as no fuller on 
 earth can whiten them. 
 
 4 And behold, there talked 
 with him two men, which 
 were Moses and Elijah; 
 who appeared in glory, and 
 spake of his decease which 
 he was about to accomplish 
 at Jerusalem. 
 
 5 Now Peter and they 
 that were with him were 
 heavy with sleep : but when 
 they were fully awake, they 
 saw his glory, and the two 
 men that stood with him. 
 
306 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 6 And it came to pass, as 
 they were parting from him, 
 Peter said unto Jesus, Mas- 
 ter, it is good for us to be 
 here : and let us make three 
 tabernacles; one for thee, 
 and one for Moses, and one 
 for Elijah: not knowing 
 what he said. 
 
 7 F'or he wist not what 
 to answer ; for they became 
 sore afraid. 
 
 8 And while he said these 
 things, there came a cloud, 
 and overshadowed them : 
 and they feared as they en- 
 tered into the cloud. 
 
 9 And a voice came otit of 
 the cloud, saying. 
 
 This is my beloved Son, in 
 whom I am well pleased; 
 hear ye him. 
 
 10 And when the disciples 
 heard it, they fell on their 
 face, and were sore afraid. 
 
 1 1 And Jesus came and 
 touched then and said. Arise, 
 and be not afraid. 
 
 12 And suddenly looking 
 round about, they saw no one 
 any more, save Jesus only 
 with themselves. 
 
 13 And as they were com- 
 ing down from the mountain, 
 Jesus commanded them, say- 
 ing. Tell the vision to no 
 man, until the Son of man be 
 risen from the dead. 
 
 14 And they kept the 
 saying, questioning among 
 themselves what the rising 
 again from the dead should 
 luean. 
 
 1 5 And his disciples asked 
 him, saying. Why then say 
 the scribes that Elijah must 
 first come? 
 
 16 And he said unto them, 
 Elijah indeed cometh first, 
 and restoreth all things ; and 
 how is it written of the Son 
 of man, that he should suffer 
 many things and be set at 
 nought? 
 
 1 7 But I say unto you, that 
 Elijah is come already, and 
 they knew him not, but did 
 unto him whatsoever they 
 listed. Even so shall the 
 Son of man also suffer of 
 them. 
 
 18 Then understood the 
 disciples that he spake unto 
 them of John the Baptist. 
 
THhv Saw No One any More Save Jtsub Onli. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 THK ElMLKPTIC CURKD. 
 
 19 And it came to pass, on 
 
 209 
 
 the next da}', when they 
 were come down from the 
 mountain, 
 
 20 And came to the disci- 
 ples, they saw a great multi- 
 tude about them, and scribes 
 questioning with them. 
 
 2 1 And straightway all the 
 multitude, when they saw 
 him, were greatly amazed, 
 and running to him saluted 
 him. 
 
 22 And he asked them, 
 What c^uestion ye with them? 
 
 Summer, a. d. 2g. 
 
 23 And behold, a man 
 from the multitude came 
 kneeling to him and cried, 
 saying. Master, I beseech 
 thee to look upon my son; 
 for he is mine only child: 
 
 24 Lord, have mercy on 
 my son : for he is epileptic, 
 and suffereth grievously : for 
 oft-times he falleth into the 
 fire, and oft-times into the 
 water. 
 
 25 And behold, a spirit 
 taketh him, and he suddenly 
 crieth out; and it teareth 
 
 him that he foameth, and it 
 hardly departeth from him, 
 bruising him sorely. 
 
 26 And I besought thy dis- 
 ciples to cast it out ; and they 
 could not. 
 
 27 And Jesus answered 
 and said, O faithless and per- 
 verse generation, how long 
 shall I be with you? how 
 long shall I bear with yovi? 
 bring him hither to me. 
 
 28 And tliey brought him 
 unto him : and when he saw 
 him, straightway the spirit 
 tare him grievously ; and he 
 fell on the ground, and wal- 
 lowed foaming. 
 
 29 And he asked his father 
 How long time is it since 
 this hath come unto him? 
 And he said. From a child. 
 
 30 And oft-times it hath 
 cast him both into the fire 
 and into the waters, to de- 
 stroy him : but if thou canst 
 do anything, have compas- 
 sion on us, and help us. 
 
 31 And Jesus said unto 
 him, • If thou canst! All 
 things are possible to him 
 that believeth. 
 
210 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 32 Straightway the father 
 of the child cried out, and 
 said, I believe; help thou 
 inine unbelief. 
 
 33 And when Jesus saw 
 that a multitude came run- 
 ning together, he rebuked 
 the unclean spirit, saying un- 
 to him, Thou dumb and deaf 
 spirit, I command thee, come 
 out of him, and enter no 
 more into him. 
 
 34 And having cried out, 
 and torn him much, he came 
 out : and the cliild became as 
 one dead ; insomuch that the 
 more part said, he is dead. 
 
 35 But Jesus took him by 
 the hand, and raised him up ; 
 and he arose and the boy was 
 cured from that hour. 
 
 36 And they were all as- 
 tonished at the majesty of 
 God. 
 
 37 Then came the disci- 
 ples to Jesus apart, and said. 
 Why could not we cast it 
 out? 
 
 38 And he saith unto 
 them. Because of your little 
 faith : 
 
 39 For verily I say unto 
 
 you. If ye have faith as a 
 grain of mustard seed, ye 
 shall say unto this mountain, 
 Remove hence to yonder 
 place ; and it shall remove ; 
 and nothing shall be impos- 
 sible unto you. 
 
 40 And he said unto them, 
 this kind can come out by 
 nothing, save by prayer. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 Autumn, A. D. 29. 
 
 A ND they went forth 
 -^*- from thence, and passed 
 through Galilee; and he 
 would not that any man 
 should know it. 
 
 2 He would not walk in 
 Judaea, because the Jews 
 sought to kill him. 
 
 3 And while they abode in 
 Galilee, and while all were 
 marveling at all the things 
 which he did, he said unto 
 his disciples, 
 
 4 Let these words sink in- 
 to your ears : 
 
 5 The Son of man shall be 
 delivered up into the hands 
 of men ; 
 
 6 And they shall kill him ; 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 213 
 
 and when he is killed, af- 
 ter three days he shall rise 
 again. 
 
 7 And they were exceed- 
 ing sorry." 
 
 8 Biit they understood not 
 this saying, and it was con- 
 cealed from them, that they 
 should not perceive it : and 
 they were afraid to ask him 
 about this saying. 
 
 THE TRIBUTE MONEY. 
 
 9 And when they were 
 come to Capernaum, they 
 that received the half-shekel 
 came to Peter, and said, 
 Doth not your master pay 
 the half- shekel? He saith. 
 Yea. 
 
 10 And when he came into 
 the hotise, Jesus spake first 
 to him, saying. What think- 
 est thou, Simon? the kings 
 of the earth, from whom do 
 they receive toll or tribute? 
 from their sons, or from 
 strangers? 
 
 1 1 And when he said. 
 From strangers, Jesus said 
 unto him, Therefore the sons 
 are free. 
 
 12 But, lest we cause them 
 
 to stumble, go thou to the 
 sea, and cast a hook, and take 
 up the fish that first cometh 
 up; and when thou hast 
 opened his mouth, thou shalt 
 find a shekel : that take, and 
 give unto them for me and 
 thee. 
 
 13 And when he was in 
 the house he asked them. 
 What were ye reasoning in 
 the way? 
 
 14 But they held their 
 peace : for they had disputed 
 one with another in the way, 
 who 7Ci(7S the greatest. 
 
 15 And he sat down, and 
 called the twelve; and he 
 saith unto them, if any man 
 would be first, he shall be 
 last of all, and minister of all. 
 
 16 And he took a little 
 child, and set him in the 
 midst of them; and taking 
 him in his arms, he said unto 
 them, 
 
 17 Verily I say unto you, 
 Except ye turn, and become 
 as little children, ye shall in 
 no wise enter into the king- 
 dom of heaven. 
 
 18 Whosoever therefore 
 
214 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 shall humble himself as this 
 little child, the same is the 
 greatest in the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 19 Whosoever shall re- 
 ceive one of such little chil- 
 dren in my name, receiveth 
 me ; and whosoever shall re- 
 ceive me receiveth him that 
 sent me : for he that is least 
 among you all, the same is 
 great. 
 
 20 John said unto him, 
 Master, we saw one casting 
 out devils in thy name : and 
 we forbade him, because he 
 followed not us. 
 
 21 But Jesus said, Forbid 
 him not : for there is no man 
 which shall do a mighty 
 work in my name, and be 
 able quickly to speak evil of 
 me. 
 
 22 For he that is not 
 against us is for us. 
 
 23 For whosover shall 
 give you a cup of water to 
 drink, because ye are 
 Christ's, verily I say unto 
 you, he shall in no wise lose 
 his reward. 
 
 24 And whosoever shall 
 
 cause one of these little ones 
 that believe on me to stum- 
 ble, it were better for him 
 if a great millstone were 
 hanged about his neck, and 
 he were cast into the sea. 
 
 25 Woe unto the world be- 
 cause of occasions of stum- 
 bling! for it must needs be 
 that the occasions come ; but 
 woe to that man through 
 whom the occasion cometh! 
 
 26 And if thy hand cause 
 thee to stumble, cut it off : 
 
 27 It is good for thee 
 to enter into life maimed, 
 rather than having thy two 
 hands to go into hell, into 
 the unquenchable fire. 
 
 28 And if thy foot cause 
 thee to stumble, cut it off: 
 
 29 It is good for thee to 
 enter into life halt, rather 
 than having thy two feet to 
 be cast into hell. 
 
 30 And if thine eye cause 
 thee to stumble, cast it out : 
 
 31 It is good tor thee to 
 enter into the kingdom of 
 God with one eye, rather 
 than having two eyes to be 
 cast into hell ; 
 
Woe Unto Thosk Who Calsl Thlse Little Ones to Stlmull. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 217 
 
 32 Where their worm 
 dieth not, and the fire is not 
 quenched. 
 
 33 For every one shall be 
 salted with fire. 
 
 34 Salt is good : but if the 
 salt have lost its saltness, 
 wherewith will ye season it? 
 Have salt in yourselves, and 
 be at peace one with an- 
 other. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 SEE that ye despise not 
 one of these little ones ; 
 for I say vanto you, that in 
 heaven their angels do al- 
 ways behold the face of my 
 Father which is in heaven. 
 
 2 How think ye? if any 
 man have a hundred sheep, 
 and one of them be gone 
 astray, doth he not leave the 
 ninety and nine, and go unto 
 the mountains, and seek that 
 which goeth astray? 
 
 3 And if so be that he find 
 it, verily I say unto you, he 
 rejoiceth over it more than 
 over the ninety and nine 
 which have not gone astray. 
 
 4 Even 30 it is not the will 
 
 of your Father which is in 
 heaven, that one of these 
 little ones should perish, 
 
 5 For the Son of man came 
 to seek and to save that 
 which was lost. 
 
 6 And if thy brother sin 
 against thee go shew him his 
 fault between thee and him 
 alone : if he hear thee, thou 
 hast gained thy brother. 
 
 7 But if he hear thee not, 
 take with thee one or two 
 more, that at the mouth of 
 two witnesses or three every 
 word may be established. 
 
 8 And if he refuse to hear 
 them, tell it unto the church : 
 and if he refuse to hear the 
 church also, let him be unto 
 thee as the Gentile and the 
 publican. 
 
 9 Verily I say unto you. 
 What things soever ye shall 
 bind on earth shall be bound 
 in heaven : and what things 
 soever ye shall loose on earth 
 shall be loosed in heaven. 
 
 10 Again I say unto you, 
 th,at if two of you shall agree 
 on earth as touching any- 
 thing that they shall ask, it 
 
218 THE EARTHLY 
 
 shall be done for them of my 
 Father which is in heaven. 
 
 1 1 For where two or three 
 are gathered together in my 
 name, there am I in the 
 midst of them. 
 
 12 Then came Peter, and 
 said to him. Lord, how oft 
 shall my brother sin against 
 me, and I forgive him? until 
 seven times.'' 
 
 13 Jesus saith unto him, I 
 say not unto thee, Until 
 seven times ; but. Until 
 seventy times seven. 
 
 14 Therefore is the king- 
 dom of heaven likened unto 
 a certain king, which would 
 make a reckoning with his 
 servants. 
 
 15 And when he had be- 
 gun to reckon, one was 
 brought unto him, which 
 owed him ten thousand tal- 
 ents. 
 
 16 But forasmuch as he 
 had not wherewith to pay, his 
 lord commanded him to be 
 sold, and his wife, and chil- 
 dren, and all that he had, 
 and payment to be made. 
 
 17 The servant therefore 
 
 FOOTPRINTS 
 
 fell down and worshipped 
 him, saying, Lord, have pa- 
 tience with me, and I will 
 pay thee all. 
 
 18 And the lord of that 
 servant, being moved with 
 compassion, released him, 
 and forgave him the debt. 
 
 19 But that servant went 
 out, and found one of his 
 fellow-servants, which owed 
 him a hundred pence : and 
 he laid hold on him, and took 
 him by the throat, saying, 
 Pay what thou owest. 
 
 20 So his fellow-servant 
 fell down and besought him, 
 saying. Have patience with 
 me, and I will pay thee. 
 
 2 1 And he would not : but 
 went and cast him into 
 prison, till he should pay 
 that which was due. 
 
 22 So when his fellow-ser- 
 vants saw what was done, 
 they were exceeding sorry, 
 and came and told unto their 
 lord all that was done. 
 
 23 Then his lord called 
 him unto him, and saith to 
 him. Thou wicked servant, I 
 forgave thee all that debt, 
 
1./ 1 ,1... i loLM. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 231 
 
 because thou besoughtest 
 me: 
 
 34 Shouldest not thou also 
 have had mercy on thy fel- 
 low-servant; even as I had 
 mercy on thee? 
 
 25 Andhislord was wroth, 
 and delivered him to the tor- 
 mentors, till he should pay 
 all that was due. 
 
 26 So shall also my heav- 
 enly Father do unto you, if 
 ye forgive not every one his 
 brother from your hearts. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 THE SEVENTY SENT OUT. 
 
 "\TOW after these things 
 -*- ^ the Lord appointed 
 seventy others and sent them 
 two and two before his face 
 into every city and place, 
 whither he himself was 
 about to come. 
 
 2 And he said unto them. 
 The harvest is plenteous, 
 but the labourers are few : 
 pray ye therefore the Lord 
 of the harvest, that he send 
 forth labourers into his har- 
 vest. 
 
 3 Go your ways: behold. 
 
 I send you forth as lambs in 
 the midst of wolves. 
 
 4 Carry no purse, no wal- 
 let, no shoes : and salute no 
 man on the way. 
 
 5 And into whatsoever 
 house ye shall enter, first 
 say. Peace be to this house. 
 
 6 And if a son of peace be 
 there, your peace shall rest 
 upon him : but if not, it shall 
 turn to you again. 
 
 7 And in that same house 
 remain, eating and drinking 
 such things as they give: 
 for the labotirer is worthy of 
 his hire. Go not from house 
 to house. 
 
 8 And into whatsoever 
 city ye enter, and they re- 
 ceive you, eat such things 
 as are set before yoit : 
 
 9 And heal the sick that 
 are therein, and say unto 
 them, The kingdom of God 
 is come nigh unto you. 
 
 10 But into whatsoever 
 city ye shall enter, and they 
 receive you not, go out into 
 the streets thereof and say, 
 
 1 1 Even the dust from 
 your city, that cleaveth to 
 
322 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 our feet, we do wipe off 
 against you : howbeit know 
 this, that the kingdom of 
 God is come nigh. 
 
 12 I say unto you, It shall 
 be more tolerable in that day 
 for Sodom, than for that city. 
 
 13 Woe unto thee, Chora- 
 zin! woe unto thee, Beth- 
 saida! for if the mighty 
 works had been done in Tyre 
 and Sidon, which were done 
 in you, they would have re- 
 pented long ago, sitting in 
 sackcloth and ashes. 
 
 14 Howbeit it shall be 
 more tolerable for Tyre and 
 Sidon in the judgement, 
 than for you. 
 
 15 And thou, Capernaum, 
 shalt thou be exalted unto 
 heaven? thou shalt be 
 brought down unto Hades. 
 
 16 He that heareth you 
 heareth me ; and he that re- 
 jecteth you rejecteth me; 
 and he that rejecteth me re- 
 jecteth him that sent me. 
 
 17 And the seventy re- 
 turned with joy, saying. 
 Lord, even the devils are 
 subject unto us in thy name. 
 
 18 And he said unto them, 
 I beheld Satan fallen as 
 lightning from heaven. 
 
 19 Behold, I have given 
 you authority to tread upon 
 serpents and scorpions, and 
 over all the power of the en- 
 emy: and nothing shall in 
 any wise hurt you. 
 
 20 Howbeit in this rejoice 
 not, that the spirits are sub- 
 ject unto you; but rejoice 
 that your names are written 
 in heaven. 
 
 21 In that same hour Jesus 
 rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, 
 and said, I thank thee, O 
 Father, Lord of heaven and 
 earth, that thou didst hide 
 these things from the wise 
 and understanding, and didst 
 reveal them unto babes: 
 yea, Father; for so it was 
 well-pleasing in thy sight. 
 
 22 All things have been 
 delivered unto me of my Fa- 
 ther: and no one knoweth 
 who the Son is save the 
 Father ; and who the Father 
 is, save the Son, and he to 
 whomsoever the Son willeth 
 to reveal him. 
 
"Satan Falling as Lighining krom Heaven." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 225 
 
 23 And turning to the dis- 
 ciples, he said privately, 
 Blessed are the eyes which 
 see the things 4:hat ye see : 
 
 24 Forlsay nntoyou, that 
 many prophets and kings 
 desired to see the things 
 which ye see, and saw them 
 not ; and to hear the things 
 which ye hear, and heard 
 them not. 
 
 25 Now the feast of the 
 Jews, the feast of taber- 
 nacles, was at hand. 
 
 26 His brethren therefore 
 said unto him. Depart hence, 
 and go into Judaea, that thy 
 disciples also may behold 
 thy works which thou doest. 
 
 27 For no man doeth any- 
 thing in secret, and himself 
 seeketh to be known openly. 
 
 If thou doest these things, 
 manifest thyself to the 
 world. 
 
 28 P^or even his brethren 
 did not believe on him. 
 
 29 Jesus therefore saith 
 unto them. My time is not 
 yet come ; but your time is 
 alway ready. 
 
 30 The world cannot hate 
 
 you ; but me it hateth, be- 
 cause I testify of it, that its 
 works are evil. 
 
 3 1 Go ye up unto the feast : 
 I go not up yet unto this 
 feast ; because my time is not 
 yet fulfilled. 
 
 32 And having said these 
 things unto them, he abode 
 still in Galilee. 
 
 STEADFASTLY GOES TO 
 JERUSALEM. 
 
 33 And it came to pass, 
 when the days were well- 
 nigh come that he should be 
 received up, he steadfastly 
 set his face to go to Jeru- 
 salem, 
 
 34 And sent messengers 
 before his face : and they 
 went, and entered into a 
 village of the Samaritans, 
 to make ready for him. 
 
 35 And they did not re- 
 ceive him, because his face 
 was as though he were going 
 to Jerusalem. 
 
 36 And when his disciples 
 James 'and John saw this, 
 they said. Lord, wilt thou 
 that we bid fire to come 
 
236 
 
 THE EARTHLY 
 
 down from heaven, and con- 
 sume them? 
 
 37 But he turned, and re- 
 buked them. 
 
 38 And they went to an- 
 other village. 
 
 THE TEN LEPERS. 
 
 39 And as he entered into 
 a certain village, there met 
 him ten men that were lep- 
 ers, which stood afar off : 
 
 40 And they lifted up 
 their voices, saying, Jesus, 
 Master, have mercy on us. 
 
 41 And when he saw them, 
 he said unto them, Go and 
 shew yourselves unto the 
 priests. And it came to pass 
 as they went, they were 
 cleansed. 
 
 42 And one of them, when 
 he saw that he was healed, 
 turned back, with a loud 
 voice glorifying God ; 
 
 43 And he fell upon his 
 face at his feet, giving him 
 thanks: and he was a Sa- 
 maritan. 
 
 44 And Jesus answering 
 said. Were not the ten 
 cleansed? but where are the 
 nine? 
 
 FOOTPRINTS 
 
 45 Were there none 
 found that returned to give 
 glory to God, save this 
 stranger? 
 
 46 And he said unto him. 
 Arise, and go thy way : thy 
 faith hath made thee whole. 
 
 THE GOOD SAMARITAN. 
 
 47 And behold, a certain 
 lawyer stood up and tempted 
 him, saying, Master, what 
 shall I do to inherit eternal 
 life? 
 
 48 And he said unto him. 
 What is written in the law? 
 how readest thou? 
 
 49 And he answering said. 
 Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
 God with ail thy heart, and 
 with all thy soul, and with 
 all thy strength, and with all 
 thy mind ; and thy neighbour 
 as thyself. 
 
 50 And he said unto him, 
 Thou hast answered right: 
 this do, and thou shalt live. 
 
 5 1 But he, desiring to jus- 
 tify himself, said unto Jesus, 
 And who is my neighbour? 
 
 52 Jesus made answer and 
 said, A certain man was go- 
 
o 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 229 
 
 ing down from Jerusalem to 
 Jericho ; and he fell among 
 robbers, which both stripped 
 him and beat him, and de- 
 parted, leaving him half 
 dead. 
 
 53 And by chance a cer- 
 tain priest was going down 
 that way : and when he saw 
 him, he passed by on the 
 other side. 
 
 54 And in like manner a 
 Levite also, when he came 
 to the place, and saw him, 
 passed by on the other side. 
 
 55 But a certain Samar- 
 itan, as he journeyed, came 
 where he was : and when he 
 saw him, he was moved with 
 compassion, 
 
 56 And came to him, and 
 bound up his wounds, pour- 
 ing on them oil and wine ; 
 and he set him on his own 
 beast, and brought him to 
 an inn, and took care of 
 him. 
 
 57 And on the morrow he 
 took out twopence, and gave 
 them to the host, and said, 
 Take care of him ; and what- 
 soever thou spendest more, 
 
 I, when I come back again, 
 will repay thee. 
 
 58 Which of these three, 
 thinkest thou, proved neigh- 
 bour unto him that fell 
 among the robbers? 
 
 59 And he said. He that 
 shewed mercy on him. And 
 Jesus said unto him. Go, and 
 do thou likewise. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXni. 
 
 THE lord's prayer. 
 
 AND it come to pass, as 
 he was praying in a cer- 
 tain place, that when he 
 ceased, one of his disciples 
 said unto him, Lord, teach 
 us to pray, even as John also 
 taught his disciples. 
 
 2 And he said unto them. 
 When ye pray, say, Father, 
 Hallowed be thy name. Thy 
 kingdom come. 
 
 3 Give us day by day our 
 daily bread. 
 
 4 And forgive us our sins ; 
 for we ourselves also forgive 
 every one that is indebted to 
 us. • And bring us not into 
 temptation. 
 
 5 And he said unto them, 
 
230 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 Which of you shall have a 
 friend, and shall go nnto 
 him at midnight, and say to 
 him, Friend, lend me three 
 loaves ; 
 
 6 For a friend of mine is 
 come to me from a journey, 
 and I have nothing to set be- 
 fore him ; 
 
 7 And he from within shall 
 answer and say. Trouble me 
 not: the door is now shut, 
 and my children are with me 
 in bed; I cannot rise and 
 give thee? 
 
 8 I say unto you, Though 
 he will not rise and give him, 
 because he is his friend, yet 
 because of his importtmity 
 he will arise and give him as 
 many as he needeth. 
 
 9 And I say unto you, Ask, 
 and it shall be given you; 
 seek, and ye shall find; 
 knock and it shall be opened 
 unto you. 
 
 10 For every one that 
 asketh receiveth; and he 
 that seeketh findeth ; and to 
 him that knocketh it shall 
 be opened. 
 
 1 1 And of which of you 
 
 that is a father shall his son 
 ask a loaf, and he give him 
 a stone? or a fish, and he for 
 a fish give him a serpent? 
 
 12 Or if he shall ask an 
 ^ZZ, will he give him a scor- 
 pion? 
 
 13 If ye then, being evil, 
 know how to give good gifts 
 unto your children, how 
 much more ^\\sXi your heav- 
 enly Father give the Holy 
 Spirit to them that ask him? 
 
 14 Now as they went on 
 their way, he entered into a 
 certain village : and a certain 
 woman named Martha re- 
 ceived him into her house. 
 
 15 And she had a sister 
 called Mary, which also sat 
 at the Lord's feet, and heard 
 his word. 
 
 16 But Martha was cum- 
 bered about much serving; 
 and she came up to him, and 
 said. Lord, dost thou not care 
 that my sister did leave me 
 to serve alone? bid her there- 
 fore that she help me. 
 
 17 But the Lord answered 
 and said unto her, Martha, 
 Martha, thou art anxious 
 

 = lif"%^-- ;.V/| 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 333 
 
 and troubled about many- 
 things : 
 
 1 8 But one thing is need- 
 ful: for Mary hath chosen 
 the good part, which shall 
 not be taken away from her. 
 
 19 H The Jews sought 
 Jesus at the feast, and said, 
 Where is he? 
 
 20 And there was much 
 murmuring among the mul- 
 t i t u d e s concerning him : 
 some said, He is a good 
 man ; others said, Not so, but 
 he leadeth the multitude 
 astray. 
 
 2 1 Howbeit no man spake 
 openly of him for fear of the 
 Jews. 
 
 October, A. D. 2g. 
 
 22 But when it was now 
 the midst of the feast Jesus 
 went up into the temple, and 
 taught. 
 
 23 The Jews therefore 
 marvelled, saying, How 
 knoweth this man letters, 
 having never learned? 
 
 24 Jesus therefore an- 
 swered them, and said. My 
 teaching is not mine, but his 
 that sent me. 
 
 25 If any man willeth to 
 do his will, he shall know of 
 the teaching, whether it be 
 of God, or %vhether I speak 
 from myself. 
 
 26 He that speaketh from 
 himself seeketh his own 
 glory : but he that seeketh 
 the glory of him that sent 
 him, the same is true, and 
 no unrighteousness is in him. 
 
 27 Did not Moses give you 
 the law, and yet none of you 
 doeth the law? Why seek ye 
 to kill me? 
 
 28 The multitude an- 
 swered, Thoi: hast a devil: 
 who seeketh to kill thee? 
 
 29 Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, I did one 
 work, and ye all marvel. 
 
 30 For this cause hath 
 Moses given you circumcis- 
 ion (not that it is of Moses 
 but of the fathers) ; and on 
 the sabbath ye circumcise a 
 man. 
 
 31 If a man receiveth cir- 
 cumcision on the sabbath, 
 that the law of Moses may 
 not be broken ; are ye wroth 
 with me, because I made a 
 
334 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 man every whit whole on the 
 sabbath? 
 
 32 Judge not according to 
 appearance, but judge right- 
 eous judgement. 
 
 33 Some therefore of them 
 of Jerusalem said, Is not this 
 he whom they seek to kill? 
 
 34 And lo, he speaketh 
 openly, and they say nothing 
 unto him. Can it be that 
 the rulers indeed know that 
 this is the Christ? 
 
 35 Howbeit we know this 
 man whence he is : but when 
 the Christ cometh, no one 
 knoweth whence he is. 
 
 36 Jesus therefore cried 
 in the temple, teaching and 
 saying, Ye both know me, 
 and knov/ whence I am ; and 
 I am not come of myself, 
 but he that sent me is true, 
 whom ye know not. 
 
 37 I know him ; because I 
 am from him, and he sent 
 me. 
 
 38 They sought therefore 
 to take him : and no man 
 laid his hand on him, because 
 his hour was not yet come. 
 
 39 But of the multitude 
 
 many believed on him ; and 
 they said. When the Christ 
 shall come, Avill he do more 
 signs than those which this 
 man hath done? 
 
 40 The Pharisees heard 
 the multitude murmuring 
 these things concerning him ; 
 and the chief priests and the 
 Pharisees sent officers to 
 take him. 
 
 41 Jesus therefore said. 
 Yet a little while am I with 
 you, and I go unto him that 
 sent me. 
 
 42 Ye shall seek me, and 
 shall not find me : and where 
 I am, ye cannot come. 
 
 43 The Jews therefore said 
 among themselves, Whither 
 will this man go that we 
 shall not find him? will he 
 go unto the Dispersion 
 among the Greeks, and teach 
 the Greeks? 
 
 44 What is this word that 
 he said, Ye shall seek me, 
 and shall not find me : and 
 where I am, ye cannot come? 
 
 45 Now on the last day, 
 the great (/ay of the feast, 
 Jesus stood and cried, say- 
 
H 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 237 
 
 ing, if any man thirst, let 
 him come unto me, and 
 drink. 
 
 46 He that believeth on 
 me, as the scripture hath 
 said, out of his belly shall 
 flow rivers of living water. 
 
 47 But this spake he of the 
 Spirit, which they that be- 
 lieved on him were to re- 
 ceive : for the Spirit was not 
 yet given ; because Jesus was 
 not yet glorified. 
 
 48 Some of the multitude 
 therefore, when they heard 
 these words, said. This is of 
 a truth the prophet. 
 
 49 Others said, This is the 
 Christ. But some said, 
 AVhat, doth the Christ come 
 out of Galilee? 
 
 50 Hath not the scripture 
 said that the Christ cometh 
 of the seed of David, and 
 from Bethlehem, the village 
 where I^avid was? 
 
 5 1 So there arose a division 
 in the multitude because of 
 him. 
 
 52 And some of them 
 would have taken him ; but 
 no man laid hands on him. 
 
 53 The officers therefore 
 came to the chief priests and 
 Pharisees ; and they said un- 
 to them, Why did ye not 
 bring him? 
 
 54 The officers answered, 
 Never man so spake. 
 
 55 The Pharisees there-, 
 fore answered them, Are ye 
 also led astray? 
 
 56 Hath any of the rulers 
 believed on him, or of the 
 Pharisees? 
 
 57 But this multitude 
 which knoweth not the law 
 are accursed. 
 
 58 Nicodemus saith unto 
 them (he that came to him 
 before, being one of them), 
 
 59 Doth our law judge a 
 man, except it first hear from 
 himself and know what he 
 doeth? 
 
 60 The}^ answered and 
 said unto him. Art thou also 
 of Galilee? Search, and see 
 that out of Galilee ariseth no 
 prophet. 
 
 THE WOMAN TAKEN IN 
 ADULTERY. 
 
 61 '[And they went every 
 man unto his own hoi;se: 
 
238 
 
 THE EARTHI.Y FOOTPRINTS 
 
 but Jesus went unto the 
 mount of Olives. 
 
 62 And early in the inorn- 
 ing he came again into the 
 temple, and all the people 
 came unto him ; and he sat 
 down, and taught them. 
 
 63 And the scribes and the 
 Pharisees bring a woman 
 taken in adultery ; and hav- 
 ing set her in the midst, 
 
 64 They say unto him, 
 Master, this woman hath 
 been taken in adultery in 
 the very act. 
 
 65 Now in the law Moses 
 commanded us to stone such : 
 what then sayest thou of 
 her? 
 
 66 And this they said, 
 tempting him that they 
 might have tvhereofX.o accuse 
 him. But Jesus stooped 
 down, and with his finger 
 wrote on the ground. 
 
 (i'j But when they con- 
 tinued asking him, he lifted 
 up himself, and said unto 
 them. He that is without sin 
 among you, let him first cast 
 a stone at her. 
 
 68 And again he stooped 
 
 down, and with his finger 
 wrote on the ground. 
 
 69 And they, when they 
 heard it, went out one by one 
 beginning from the eldest, 
 even unto the last : and Jesus 
 was left alone, and the wo- 
 man, where she was, in the 
 midst. 
 
 70 And Jesus lifted up 
 himself and said unto her. 
 Woman, where are they? did 
 no man condemn thee? 
 
 71 And she said. No man, 
 Lord. And Jesus said. 
 Neither do I condemn thee : 
 go thy way ; from henceforth 
 sin no moi-e.] 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 A GAIN therefore Jesus 
 -^~*- spake unto them, say- 
 ing, I am the light of the 
 world : he that followeth me 
 shall not walk in the dark- 
 ness, but shall have the light 
 of life. 
 
 2 The Pharisees therefore 
 said unto him, Thou bearest 
 witness of thyself; thy wit- 
 ness is not true. 
 
 3 Jesus answered and said 
 
"Neither do 1 Condemn Thee." 
 
OF OUR RISEN 
 
 unto them, Even if I bear 
 witness of myself, my wit- 
 ness is true,; for I know 
 whence I came, and whither I 
 go ; but ye know not whence 
 I come, or whither I go. 
 
 4 Ye judge after the flesh ; 
 I judge no man. 
 
 5 Yea and if I judge, my 
 judgement is true ; for I am 
 not alone, but I and the 
 Father that sent me. 
 
 6 Yea and in your law it is 
 written, that the witness of 
 two men is true. 
 
 7 I am he that beareth wit- 
 ness of myself, and the 
 Father that sent me beareth 
 witness of me. 
 
 8 They said therefore un- 
 to him. Where is thy Father? 
 Jesus answered, \''e know 
 neither me, nor my Father : 
 if ye knew me, ye would 
 know my Father also. 
 
 9 These words spake he in 
 the treasury, as he taught in 
 the temple : and no man took 
 him ; because his hour was 
 not yet come. 
 
 10 He said therefore again 
 unto them, I go away, and 
 
 LORD. 241 
 
 ye shall seek me, and shall 
 die in your sin : whither I go, 
 ye cannot come. 
 
 1 1 The Jews therefore 
 said. Will he kill himself, 
 that he saith. Whither I go, 
 ye cannot come? 
 
 12 And he said unto them. 
 Ye are from beneath ; I am 
 from above : ye are of this 
 world; I am not of this 
 world. 
 
 13 I said therefore unto 
 5'ou, that ye shall die in your 
 sins: for except ye believe 
 that I am he, ye shall die in 
 your sins. 
 
 14 They said therefore un- 
 to him, Who art thou? Jesus 
 said unto them. Even that 
 which I have also spoken un- 
 to you from the beginning. 
 
 1 5 I have many things to 
 speak and to judge concern- 
 ing 3^ou: howbeit he that 
 sent me is true; and the 
 things which I heard from 
 him, these speak I unto the 
 world. 
 
 16 T'hey perceived not 
 that he spake to them of the 
 Father. 
 
243 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 17 Jesus therefore said, 
 When ye hav^e lifted up the 
 Son of man, then shall ye 
 know that I am he, and that 
 I do nothing of myself, but 
 as the Father taught me, I 
 speak these things. 
 
 1 8 And he that sent me is 
 with me ; he hath not left me 
 alone ; for I do always the 
 things that are pleasing to 
 him. 
 
 19 As he spake these 
 things, many believed on 
 him. 
 
 20 Jesus therefore said to 
 those Jews which had be- 
 lieved him, If ye abide in my 
 word, then are ye truly my 
 disciples; 
 
 2 1 And ye shall know the 
 truth, and the truth shall 
 make you free. 
 
 22 They answered unto 
 him. We be Abraham's seed, 
 and have never yet been in 
 bondage to any man : how 
 sayest thou. Ye shall be 
 made free? 
 
 23 Jesus answered them, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you. Every one that com- 
 
 mitteth sin is the bondser- 
 vant of sin. 
 
 24 And the bondservant 
 abideth not in the house for 
 ever: the son abideth for 
 ever. 
 
 25 If therefore the Son 
 shall make you free, ye shall 
 be free indeed. 
 
 26 I know that ye are 
 Abraham's seed; yet ye seek 
 to kill me, because my word 
 hath not free course in you. 
 
 27 I speak the things 
 which I have seen with my 
 Father: and ye also do the 
 things which ye heard from 
 your father. 
 
 28 They answered and 
 said unto him, Our father is 
 Abraham. Jesus saith unto 
 them, If ye were Abraham's 
 children, ye would do the 
 works of Abraham. 
 
 29 But now ye seek to kill 
 me, a man that hath told 
 you the truth, which I heard 
 from God : this did not Abra- 
 ham. 
 
 30 Ye do the works of your 
 father. They said unto him. 
 We were not born of forni- 
 
OF OUR 
 
 cation ; we have one P^ather, 
 even God. 
 
 31 Jesus said unto them, 
 If God were your Father, 3'e 
 would love me : for I came 
 forth and am come from 
 God; for neither have I come 
 of myself, but he sent me. 
 
 32 Why do ye not under- 
 stand my speech? Even be- 
 cause ye cannot hear my 
 word. 
 
 33 Ye are of your father 
 the devil, and the lusts of 
 your father it is your will to 
 do. He was a murderer from 
 the beginning, and stood not 
 in the truth, because there is 
 no truth in him. When he 
 speaketh a lie, he speaketh 
 of his own : for he is a liar, 
 and the father thereof. 
 
 34 But because I say the 
 truth, ye believe me not. 
 
 35 Which of you convict- 
 eth me of sin? If I say truth, 
 why do ye not believe me? 
 
 36 He that is of God 
 heareth the words of God: 
 for this cause ye hear them 
 not, because ye are not of 
 God. 
 
 RISEN LORD. 245 
 
 37 The Jews answered and 
 said unto him, Say we not 
 well that thou art a Samar- 
 itan, and hast a devil? 
 
 38 Jesi:s answered, I have 
 not a devil ; but I honour my 
 Father, and ye dishonor me. 
 
 39 But I seek not mine 
 own glory : there is one that 
 seeketh and judgeth. 
 
 40 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, If a man keep my 
 word, he shall never see 
 death. 
 
 41 The Jews said unto 
 him. Now we know that thou 
 hast a devil. Abraham is 
 dead, and the prophets ; and 
 thou sayest, If a man keep 
 my word, he shall never taste 
 of death. 
 
 42 Art thou greater than 
 our father Abraham, which 
 is dead ? and the prophets are 
 dead : whom makest thou 
 thyself? 
 
 43 Jesus answered. If I 
 glorify myself, my glory is 
 nothing: it is my Father 
 that glorifieth me ; of whom 
 ye say, that he is your God ; 
 
 44 And ye have not known 
 
246 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 him : but I know him ; and 
 if I should say, I know him 
 not, I shall be like unto you, 
 a liar: but I know him, and 
 keep his word. 
 
 45 Your father Abraham 
 rejoiced to see my day; and 
 be saw it, and was glad. 
 
 46 The Jews therefore said 
 unto him. Thou art not yet 
 fifty years old, and hast thou 
 seen Abraham? 
 
 47 Jesus said unto them. 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you. 
 Before Abraham was, I am. 
 
 48 They took up stones 
 therefore to cast at him : but 
 Jesus hid himself, and went 
 out of the temple. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 THE BLIND MAN AND THE 
 PHARISEES. 
 October, A. n. 29. 
 
 A ND as Jesus passed by, 
 ^^~*- he saw a man blind 
 from his birth. 
 
 2 And his disciples asked 
 him, saying. Rabbi, who did 
 sin, this man, or his parents, 
 that he should be born blind? 
 
 3 Jesiis answered. Neither 
 
 did this man sin nor his pa- 
 rents : but that the works of 
 God should be made mani- 
 fest in him. 
 
 4 We must work the works 
 of him that sent me, while it 
 is day: the night cometh, 
 when no man can work. 
 
 5 When I am in the world 
 I am the light of the world. 
 
 6 When he had thus 
 spoken, he spat on the 
 ground, and made clay of the 
 spittle, and anointed his eyes 
 with the clay, 
 
 7 And said unto him. Go, 
 wash in the pool of Siloam 
 (which is by interpretation. 
 Sent) . He went away there- 
 fore, and washed, and came 
 seeing. 
 
 8 The neighbours there- 
 fore, and they which saw 
 him aforetime, that he was a 
 beggar, said. Is not this he 
 that sat and begged? 
 
 9 Others said. It is he: 
 others said. No, but he is 
 like him. He said, I am he. 
 
 10 They said therefore un- 
 to him. How then were thine 
 eyes opened? 
 
Jesus Healing the Blind Beugak. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 249 
 
 n He answered, The man 
 that is called Jesus made 
 clay, and anointed mine 
 eyes, and said unto me, Go 
 to Siloam, and wash : so I 
 went away and washed, and 
 I received sight. 
 
 1 2 And they said unto him. 
 Where is he? He saith, I 
 know not. 
 
 1 3 They bring to the Phar- 
 isees him that aforetime was 
 blind. 
 
 14 Now it was the sabbath 
 on the day when Jesus made 
 the clay, and opened his 
 eyes. 
 
 1 5 Again therefore the 
 Pharisees also asked him 
 how he received his sight. 
 And he said luito them He 
 put cla}' upon mine eyes, and 
 I washed, and do sec. 
 
 16 Some therefore of the 
 Pharisees said. This man is 
 not from God, because he 
 keepeth not the sabbath. 
 But others said. How can a 
 man that is a sinner do such 
 signs? And there was a di- 
 vision among them. 
 
 17 They say therefore xm- 
 
 to the blind man again, What 
 sayest thou of him, in that 
 he opened thine eyes? And 
 he said, He is a projAet. 
 
 18 The Jews therefore did 
 not believe concerning him, 
 that he had been blind, and 
 had received his sight, until 
 they called the parents of 
 him that had received his 
 sight, 
 
 19 And asked them, say- 
 ing, Is this your son, who ye 
 .say was born blind? how 
 then doth he now see? 
 
 20 His parents answered 
 and said, We know that this 
 is our son, and that he Avas 
 born blind : 
 
 2 1 But how he now seeth, 
 we know not ; or who opened 
 his eyes, we know not : ask 
 him; he is of age; he shall 
 speak for himself. 
 
 22 These things said his 
 parents, because they feared 
 the Jews : for the Jews had 
 agreed already, that if any 
 man should confess him to be 
 Christ, he should be put out 
 of the synagogue. 
 
 23 Therefore said his pa- 
 
250 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 rents, He is of age ; ask 
 him. 
 
 24 So they called a second 
 time the man that was blind, 
 and said unto him, Give 
 glory to God : we know that 
 this man is a sinner. 
 
 25 He therefore answered, 
 Whether he be a sinner, I 
 know not : one thing I know, 
 that, whereas I was blind, 
 now I see. 
 
 26 They said therefore 
 tmto him. What did he to 
 thee? how opened he thine 
 eyes? 
 
 27 He answered them, I 
 told you even now, and ye 
 did not hear: wherefore 
 would ye hear it again? 
 would ye also become his 
 disciples ? 
 
 28 And they reviled him, 
 .and said, Thou art his dis- 
 ciple; but we are disciples 
 of Moses. 
 
 29 We know that God hath 
 spoken unto Moses: but as 
 for this man, we know not 
 whence he is. 
 
 30 The man answered and 
 said unto them. Why, herein 
 
 is the marvel, that ye know 
 not whence he is, and yd he 
 opened mine eyes. 
 
 31 We know that God 
 heareth not sinners: but if 
 any man be a worshipper of 
 God, and do his will, him he 
 heareth. 
 
 32 Since the world began 
 it was never heard that any 
 one opened the eyes of a 
 man born blind. 
 
 33 If this man were not 
 from God, he could do noth- 
 ing. 
 
 34 They answered and 
 said unto him. Thou wast 
 altogether born in sins, and 
 dost thou teach us? And they 
 cast him out. 
 
 35 Jesus heard that they 
 had cast him out ; and find- 
 ing him, he said, Dost thou 
 believe on the Son of God? 
 
 36 He answered and said. 
 And who is he. Lord, that I 
 may believe on him? 
 
 37 Jesus said unto him, 
 Thou hast both seen him, 
 and he it is that speaketh 
 with thee. 
 
 38 And he said. Lord, I 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 253 
 
 believe. And he worshipped 
 him. 
 
 39 And Jesus said, For 
 judgement came I into this 
 world, that they which see 
 not may see ; and that they 
 which see may become blind. 
 
 40 Those of the Pharisees 
 which were with him heard 
 these things, and said nnto 
 him. Are we also blind? 
 
 4 1 Jesus said unto them, If 
 ye were blind, ye would have 
 no sin : but now ye say, We 
 see : your sin remaineth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 October, A. D. 29. 
 
 VERILY, verily, I say vm- 
 to you, He that entereth 
 not by the door into the fold 
 of the sheep, but climbeth up 
 some other way, the same is 
 a thief and a robber. 
 
 2 But he that entereth in 
 by the door is the shepherd 
 of the sheep. 
 
 3 To him the porter open- 
 eth; and the sheep hear his 
 voice : and he calleth his 
 own sheep by name, and 
 leadeth them out. 
 
 4 When he hath put forth 
 all his own, he goeth before 
 them, and the sheep follow 
 him : f o r they know his 
 voice. 
 
 5 And a stranger will they 
 not follow, but will flee from 
 him : for they know not the 
 voice of strangers. 
 
 6 This parable spake Jesus 
 unto them ; biit they under- 
 stood not what things they 
 were which he spake unto 
 them. 
 
 7 Jesus therefore said un- 
 to them again. Verily, verily 
 I say unto you, I am the door 
 of the sheep. 
 
 8 All that came before me 
 are thieves and robbers : but 
 the sheep did not hear them. 
 
 9 I am the door: by me if 
 any man enter in, he shall be 
 saved, and shall go in and go 
 out, and shall find pasture. 
 
 10 The thief cometh not, 
 but that he may steal, and 
 kill, and destroy: I came 
 that they may have life, and 
 may Ijave // abundantly. 
 
 1 1 I am the good shep- 
 herd : the good shepherd 
 
254 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 layetli down his life for the 
 sheep. 
 
 12 He that is a hireling, 
 and not a shepherd, whose 
 own the sheep are not, be- 
 holdeth the wolf coming, 
 and leaveth the sheep and 
 fieeth,and the wolf snatcheth 
 them, and scattereth them: 
 
 13 He fleetJi because he is 
 a hireling, and careth not 
 for the sheep. 
 
 14 I am the good shepherd ; 
 and I know mine own, and 
 mine own know me, 
 
 15 Even as the Father 
 knoweth me, and I know the 
 Father; and I lay down my 
 life for the sheep. 
 
 16 And other sheep I have, 
 which are not of this fold : 
 them also I must bring, and 
 they shall hear my voice ; 
 and they shall become one 
 flock, one shepherd. 
 
 17 Therefore doth the 
 Father love me, because I lay 
 down my life, that I may 
 take it again. 
 
 18 No one taketh it away 
 from me, but I lay it down 
 of myself. I have power to 
 
 lay it down, and I have 
 power to take it again. 
 This commandment re- 
 ceived I from my Father. 
 
 19 There arose a division 
 again among the Jews be- 
 cause of these words. 
 
 20 And many of them said, 
 He hath a devil, and is mad ; 
 why hear ye him? 
 
 2 1 Others said. These are 
 not the sayings of one pos- 
 sessed with a devil. Can a 
 devil open the eyes of the 
 blind? 
 
 22 And it was the feast of 
 the dedication at Jerusalem : 
 it was winter ; 
 
 23 And Jesus was walking 
 in the temple in Solomon's 
 porch. 
 
 24 The Jews therefore 
 came round about him, and 
 said unto him, How long dost 
 thou hold us in suspense? If 
 thou art the Christ, tell us 
 plainly. 
 
 25 Jesus answered them, I 
 told you, and ye believe not : 
 the works that I do in my 
 Father's name, these bear 
 witness of me.

OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 25"; 
 
 26 But ye believe not, be- 
 cause ye are not of my sheep. 
 
 27 My sheep hear my 
 voice, and I know them, and 
 they follow me : 
 
 28 And I give unto them 
 eternal life, and they shall 
 never perish, and no one shall 
 snatch them out of my hand. 
 
 29 My Father, which hath 
 given tlicin unto me, is 
 greater than all; and no one 
 is able to snatch them out of 
 the Father's hand. 
 
 30 I and the Father are 
 one. 
 
 3 1 The Jews took up 
 stones again to stone him. 
 
 32 Jesus answered them. 
 Many good works have I 
 shewed you from the Father ; 
 for which of those works do 
 ye stone me? 
 
 33 The Jews answered 
 him. For a good work we 
 stone thee not, but for blas- 
 phemy; and because that 
 thou, being a man, makest 
 thyself God. 
 
 34 Jesus answered them. 
 Is it not written in your law, 
 I said. Ye are gods? 
 
 35 If he called them gods, 
 unto whom the word of God 
 came (and tlie scripture can- 
 not be broken), 
 
 36 Say ye of him, whom 
 the Father sanctified and 
 sent into the world, Thou 
 blasphemest ; because I said 
 I am the Son of God? 
 
 37 If I do not the works of 
 my Father, believe me not. 
 
 38 But if I do them, though 
 ye believe not me, believe 
 the works : that ye may know 
 and understand that the 
 Father is in me, and I in the 
 Father. 
 
 39 They sought again to 
 take him : and he went forth 
 out of their hand. 
 
 40 And he went away 
 again beyond Jordan into the 
 place where John was at the 
 first baptizing; and there he 
 abode. 
 
 41 And many came unto 
 him ; and they said, John in- 
 deed did no sign : but all 
 things whatsoever John 
 spake .of this man were true. 
 
 42 And many believed on 
 him there.

 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 THE LAW OF DIVORCE. 
 
 AND there came unto him 
 Pharisees, and asked 
 him, Is it lawfi:! for a man 
 to put away /lis wife? tempt- 
 ing him. 
 
 2 And he answered and 
 said unto them. What did 
 Moses command you? 
 
 3 And they said, Moses 
 suffered to write a bill of di- 
 vorcement, and to put her 
 away. 
 
 4 But Jesus said unto 
 them. For your hardness of 
 heart he wrote you this com- 
 mandment. 
 
 5 But from the beginning 
 of creation, Male and female 
 made he them. 
 
 6 For this cause shall a 
 man leave his father and 
 mother, and shall cleave to 
 his wife ; 
 
 7 And the twain shall be- 
 come one flesh : so that they 
 are no more twain, but one 
 flesh. 
 
 8 What therefore God hath 
 joined together, let not man 
 put asunder. 
 
 9 And in the house the dis- 
 ciples asked him again of 
 this matter. 
 
 10 And he saith unto 
 them. Whosoever shall put 
 away his wife, and marry an- 
 other, committeth adultery 
 against her : 
 
 1 1 And if she herself shall 
 put away her husband and 
 marry another, she com- 
 mitteth adultery. 
 
 1 2 The disciples say unto 
 him, if the case of the man 
 is so with his wife, it is not 
 expedient to marry. 
 
 13 But he said unto them, 
 All men cannot receive this 
 saying, but they to whom it 
 is given. 
 
 14 For there are eunuchs, 
 which were s o born from 
 their mother's womb: and 
 thei'e are eunuchs, which 
 were made eunuchs by men : 
 and there are eunuchs, 
 which made themselves 
 eunuchs for the kingdom of 
 heaven's sake. 
 
 15 He that is able to re- 
 ceive it, let him receive 
 it. 
 
Si 1-1 
 
 EK THE Little Children to Come unto Me. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 261 
 
 LITTLE CHILDREN. 
 
 1 6 And they brought lanto 
 him little children, that he 
 should touch them : and the 
 disciples rebuked them. 
 
 17 But when Jesus saw it, 
 he was moved with indig- 
 nation, and said unto them. 
 Suffer the little children to 
 come unto me ; forbid them 
 not : for of such is the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 18 Verily I say unto you. 
 Whosoever shall not receive 
 the kingdom of God as a lit- 
 tle child, he shall in no wise 
 enter therein. 
 
 19 And he took them in 
 his arms, and blessed them, 
 laying his hands upon them. 
 
 20 And as he was going 
 forth into the way, there 
 ran one to him, and kneeled 
 to him, and asked him, 
 Good Master, what shall I 
 do that I may inherit eternal 
 life? 
 
 21 And Jesus said tmto 
 him. Why callest thou me 
 good ? none is good save 
 one, even God. 
 
 22 But if thou wouldest 
 
 enter into life, keep the com- 
 mandments. 
 
 23 He saith unto him, 
 Which? And Jesus vsaid. 
 Thou Shalt not kill. Thou 
 shalt not commit adultery, 
 Thou shalt not steal. Thou 
 shalt not bear false witness, 
 
 24 Honour thy father and 
 thy mother : and. Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbour as thy- 
 self. 
 
 25 The young man saith 
 unto him. All these things 
 have I observed : what lack 
 I yet? 
 
 26 And Jesus looking up- 
 on him loved him, and said 
 unto him. One thing thou 
 lackest: If thou wouldest be 
 perfect, go, sell that thou 
 hast.andgivetothe poor, and 
 thou shalt have treasure in 
 heaven : andcome, follow me. ' 
 
 27 But when the young 
 man heard the saying, he 
 went away sorrowful : for he 
 was one that had great pos- 
 sessions. 
 
 23 And Jesus looked round 
 about, and saith unto his 
 disciples. How hardly shall 
 
263 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 they that have riches enter 
 into the kingdom of God ! 
 
 29 And the disciples were 
 amazed at his words. But 
 Jesus answereth again, and 
 saith unto them, Children, 
 how hard is it for them that 
 trust in riches to enter into 
 the kingdom of God ! 
 
 30 It is easier for a camel 
 to go through a needle's eye, 
 than for a rich man to enter 
 into the kingdom of God. 
 
 31 And they were aston- 
 ished exceedingly, saying 
 unto him, Then who can be 
 saved? 
 
 32 Jesus looking upon 
 them saith, With men it is 
 impossible, but not with 
 God : for all things are pos- 
 sible with God. 
 
 33 Then answered Peter 
 and said unto him, Lo, we 
 hav^e left all, and followed 
 thee; what then shall we 
 have? 
 
 34 And Jesus said unto 
 them, Verily I say unto you, 
 that ye which have followed 
 me, in the regeneration 
 when the vSon of man shall 
 
 sit on the throne of his glory, 
 ye also shall sit upon twelve 
 thrones, judging the twelve 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 35 And every one that 
 hath left houses, or brethren, 
 or sisters, or father, or 
 mother, or children, or 
 lands, for my name's sake, 
 shall receive a hundredfold, 
 and shall inherit eternal 
 life. 
 
 36 But many shall be last 
 that are first; and first that 
 are last. 
 
 37 For the kingdom of 
 heaven is like unto a man 
 that is a householder, which 
 went out early in the morn- 
 ing to hire labourers into his 
 vineyard. 
 
 38 And when he had 
 agreed with the labourers 
 for a penny a day, he sent 
 them into his vineyard. 
 
 39 And he went out about 
 the third hotir, and saw 
 others standing in the mar- 
 ketplace idle. 
 
 40 And to them he said, 
 Go ye also into the vineyard, 
 and whatsoever is right I 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 And they 
 
 265 
 
 will give yoit 
 went their way. 
 
 41 Again he went out 
 about the sixth and the ninth 
 hour, and did likewise. 
 
 42 And about the eleventh 
 hour he went out, and found 
 others standing; and he 
 saith unto them. Why stand 
 ye here all the day idle? 
 
 43 They say unto him. 
 Because no man hath hired 
 us. He saith unto them. Go 
 ye also into the vineyard. 
 
 44 And when even was 
 come, the lord of the vine- 
 yard saith unto his steward. 
 Call the labourers, and pay 
 them their hire, beginning 
 from the last unto the first. 
 
 45 And when they came 
 that ivere hired about the 
 eleventh hour, they received 
 every man a penny. 
 
 46 And when the first 
 came, they supposed that 
 they would receive more; 
 and they likewise received 
 every man a penny. 
 
 47 And when they received 
 it, they murmured against 
 the householder, saying. 
 
 48 These last have spent 
 but one hour, and thou hast 
 made them equal unto us, 
 which have borne the burden 
 of the day and the scorching 
 heat. 
 
 49 But he answered and 
 said to one of them. Friend, 
 I do thee no wrong: didst 
 not thou agree with me for 
 a penny? 
 
 50 Take up that which is 
 thine, and go thy way ; it is 
 my will to give unto this 
 last, even as unto thee. 
 
 51 Is it not lawful for me 
 to do what I will with mine 
 own? 
 
 52 Or is thine eye evil, be- 
 catise I am good? So the last 
 shall be first and the first 
 last. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVni. 
 
 THE SABBATH AND GOOD 
 WORKS. 
 
 AND he was teaching in 
 one of the synagogues 
 on the sabbath day. 
 
 2 And behold, a woman 
 which had a spirit of infirm- 
 ity eighteen years; and she 
 
266 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 was bowed together, and 
 could in no wise lift herself 
 up. 
 
 3 And when Jesus saw her 
 he called her, and said to 
 her, Woman, thou art loosed 
 from thine infirmity. 
 
 4 And he laid his hands 
 upon her : and immediately 
 she was made straight, and 
 glorified God. 
 
 5 And the ruler of the 
 synagogue, being moved 
 with indignation because 
 Jesus had healed on the sab- 
 bath, answered and said to 
 the multitude, There are six 
 days in which men ought to 
 work : in them therefore 
 r.ome and be healed, and not 
 on the day of the sabbath. 
 
 6 But the Lord answered 
 him, and said, Ye hypocrites, 
 doth not each one of you on 
 the sabbath loose his ox or 
 his ass from the stall, and 
 lead him away to watering? 
 
 7 And ought not this 
 woman, being a daughter of 
 Abraham, whom Satan had 
 bound, lo, these eighteen 
 years, to have been loosed 
 
 from this bond on the day of 
 the sabbath? 
 
 8 And as he said these 
 things, all his adversaries 
 were put to shame : and all 
 the multitude rejoiced for 
 all the glorious things that 
 were done by him. 
 
 9 He said therefore, Unto 
 what is the kingdom of God 
 like? and whereunto shall I 
 liken it? 
 
 10 It is like unto a grain 
 of mustard seed, which a 
 man took, and cast into his 
 own garden; and it grew, 
 and became a tree ; and the 
 birds of the heaven lodged in 
 the branches thereof. 
 
 1 1 And again he said, 
 Whereunto shall I liken the 
 kingdom of God? 
 
 12 It is like tmto leaven, 
 which a woman took and hid 
 in three measures of meal, 
 till it was all leavened. 
 
 13 And one said unto him. 
 Lord, are they few that be 
 saved? And he said unto 
 them, 
 
 14 Strive to enter in by 
 the narrow door : for many, 
 
"Woman, Thou art Loosed from Thine Infikmity.' 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 269 
 
 I say unto you, shall seek to 
 enter in, and shall not be able. 
 
 15 When once the master 
 of the house is risen up, and 
 hath shut to the door, and ye 
 begin to stand without, and 
 to knock at the door, saying, 
 Lord, open to us; and he 
 shall answer and say to you, 
 I know you not whence ye 
 are : 
 
 16 Then shall ye begin to 
 say. We did eat and drink in 
 thy presence, and thou didst 
 teach in our streets ; 
 
 17 And he shall say, I tell 
 you, I know not whence ye 
 are ; depart from me, all ye 
 workers of iniquity. 
 
 18 There shall be the 
 weeping and gnashing of 
 teeth, when ye shall see 
 Abraham, and Isaac, and 
 Jacob, and all the prophets, 
 in the kingdom of God, and 
 yourselves cast forth with- 
 out. 
 
 19 And they shall come 
 from the east and west, and 
 from the north and south, 
 and shall sit down in the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 20 And behold, there are 
 last which shall be first, and 
 there are first which shall be 
 last. 
 
 21 In that very hour there 
 came certain Pharisees, say- 
 ing to him. Get thee out, and 
 go hence : for Herod would 
 fain kill thee. 
 
 22 And he said unto them. 
 Go and say to that fox. Be- 
 hold, I cast out devils and 
 perform cures to-day and to- 
 morrow, and the third day I 
 am perfected. 
 
 23 Howbeit I must go on 
 my way to-day and to-mor- 
 row and the day following: 
 for it cannot be that a pro- 
 phet perish oiit of Jerusalem. 
 
 24 O Jerusalem, Jerusa- 
 lem, which killeth the pro- 
 phets, and stoneth them that 
 are sent unto her ! how often 
 would I have gathered thy 
 children together, even as a 
 hen gathcreth her own brood 
 under her wings, and ye 
 would not ! 
 
 25 Behold your house is 
 left u'nto you desolate : and I 
 say unto you. Ye shall not 
 
370 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 see me, vmtil ye shall say, 
 Blessed is he that cometh in 
 the natiie of the Lord. 
 
 THE SABBATH AND THE 
 PHARISEES. 
 
 26 And it came to pass, 
 when he went into the house 
 of one of the rulers of the 
 Pharisees on a sabbath to eat 
 bread, that they were watch- 
 ing him. 
 
 27 And behold, there was 
 before him a certain man 
 which had the dropsy. 
 
 28 And Jesus answering 
 spake unto the lawyers and 
 Pharisees, saying, Is it law- 
 ful to heal on the sabbath, 
 or not? 
 
 29 But they held their 
 peace. And he took him, 
 and healed him, and let him 
 go. 
 
 30 And he said unto them, 
 Which of you shall have an 
 ass or an ox fallen into a 
 well, and will not straight- 
 way draw him up on a sab- 
 bath day? 
 
 31 And they could not an- 
 swer again unto these things. 
 
 THE CHIEF SEATS. 
 
 32 And he spake a parable 
 unto those which were bid- 
 den, when he marked how 
 they chose out the chief 
 seats; saying unto them, 
 
 33 When thou art bidden 
 of any man to a marriage 
 feast, sit not down in the 
 chief seat ; lest haply a more 
 honourable man than thou 
 be bidden of him, 
 
 34 And he that bade thee 
 and him shall come and say 
 to thee, Give this man place ; 
 and then thou shalt begin 
 with shame to take the low- 
 est place. 
 
 35 But when thou art bid- 
 den, go and sit down in the 
 lowest place ; that when he 
 that hath bidden thee cometh 
 he may say to thee. Friend, 
 go lip higher: then shalt 
 thou have glor}^ in the pres- 
 ence of all that sit at meat 
 with thee. 
 
 36 For every one that ex- 
 alteth himself shall be hum- 
 bled ; and he that humbleth 
 himself shall be exalted. 
 
 37 And he said to him also 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 373 
 
 that had bidden him, When 
 thou makest a dinner or a 
 supper, call not thy friends, 
 nor thy brethren, nor thy 
 kinsmen, nor rich neigh- 
 bours ; lest haply they also 
 bid thee again, and a recom- 
 pense be made thee. 
 
 38 But when thou makest 
 a feast, bid the poor, the 
 maimed, the lame, the blind : 
 
 39 And thou shalt be 
 blessed; because they have 
 not uihercwith to recompense 
 thee : for thou shalt be re- 
 compensed in the resurrec- 
 tion of the just. 
 
 40 And when one of them 
 that sat at meat with \\\\\\ 
 heard these things, he said 
 unto him. Blessed is he that 
 shall eat bread in the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 41 But he said unto him, 
 A certain man made a great 
 supper ; and he bade many : 
 
 42 And he sent forth his 
 servant at supper time to 
 say to them that were bid- 
 den, Come; for all things 
 are now ready. 
 
 43 And they all with one 
 
 consent began to make ex- 
 cuse. The first said unto 
 him, I have bought a field, 
 and I must needs go out and 
 see it: I pray thee have me 
 excused. 
 
 44 And another said, I 
 have bought five yoke of 
 oxen, and I go to prove them : 
 I pray thee have me excused. 
 
 45 And another said, I 
 have married a wife, and 
 therefore I cannot come. 
 
 46 And the servant came, 
 and told his lord these 
 things. Then the master of 
 the house being angry said 
 to his servant. Go out 
 quickly into the streets and 
 lanes of the city, and bring 
 in hither the poor and 
 maimed and blind and lame. 
 
 47 And the servant said. 
 Lord, what thou didst com- 
 mand is done, and yet there 
 is room. 
 
 48 And the lord said unto 
 the servant, Go out into the 
 highways and hedges, and 
 constrain them to come in, 
 that my house may be filled. 
 
 49 For I say tmto you. 
 
S74

 that none of those men which 
 were bidden shall taste of 
 my snpper. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIX. 
 
 THE CROSS TO BE BORNE. 
 
 NOW there went with 
 him great multitudes : 
 and he turned, and said unto 
 them, 
 
 2 If any man cometh unto 
 me, and hateth not his own 
 father, and mother, and wife, 
 and children, and brethren, 
 and sisters, yea, and his own 
 life also, he cannot be my 
 disciple. 
 
 3 Whosoever doth not bear 
 his own cross, and come after 
 me, cannot be my disciple. 
 
 4 For which of you, de- 
 siring to build a tower, doth 
 not first sit down and count 
 the cost, whether he have 
 7vhercwith to complete it? 
 
 5 Lest haply, when he 
 hath laid a foundation, and 
 is not able to finish, all that 
 behold begin to mock him, 
 saying, 
 
 6 This man began to build, 
 and was not able to finish. 
 
 7 Or what king, as he 
 goeth to encounter another 
 king in war, will not sit 
 down first and take counsel 
 whether he is able with ten 
 thousand to meet him that 
 cometh against him with 
 twenty thousand? 
 
 8 Or else, while the other 
 is yet a great way off, he 
 sendeth an ambassage, and 
 asketh conditions of peace. 
 
 9 So therefore whosoever 
 he be of you that renounceth 
 not all that he hath, he can- 
 not be my disciple. 
 
 10 Salt therefore is good: 
 but if even the salt have lost 
 its savour, wherewith shall 
 it be seasoned? 
 
 11 It is fit neither for the 
 land nor for the dunghill : 
 men cast it out. He that hath 
 ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 12 Now all the publicans 
 and sinners were drawing 
 near unto him for to hear him. 
 
 13 And both the Pharisees 
 and the scribes murmured, 
 saying. This man receiveth 
 sinners, and eateth with 
 them.

 THE LOST SHEEP. 
 December, A. D. 2g. 
 
 14 And he spake unto them 
 this parable, saying, 
 
 1 5 What man of you, hav- 
 ing a hundred sheep, and 
 having lost one of them, 
 doth not leave the ninety and 
 nine in the wilderness, and 
 go after that which is lost 
 until he find it? 
 
 16 And when he hath 
 found it, he layeth it on his 
 shoulders, rejoicing. 
 
 17 And when he cometh 
 home, he calleth together 
 his friends and his neigh- 
 bours, saying i:nto them. 
 Rejoice with me, for I have 
 found my sheep which was 
 lost. 
 
 18 I say t:nto you, that 
 even so there shall be joy in 
 heaven over one sinner that 
 rcpentcth, more than over 
 ninety and nine righteous 
 persons, which need no re- 
 pentance. 
 
 19 Or what woman having 
 ten pieces of silver, if she 
 lose one piece, doth not light 
 a lamp, and sweep the house, 
 
 and seek diligently tmtil she 
 find it? 
 
 20 And when she hath 
 found it, she calleth together 
 her friends and neighbours, 
 saying. Rejoice with me, for 
 I have found the piece which 
 I had lost. 
 
 2 1 Even so, I say imto you, 
 there is joy in the presence 
 of the angels of God over one 
 sinner that repenteth. 
 
 THE PRODIGAL SON. 
 
 2 2 And he said, A certain 
 man had two sons : 
 
 23 And the yoimger of 
 them said to his father. 
 Father, give me the portion 
 of thy substance that falleth 
 to me. And he divided un- 
 to them his living. 
 
 24 And not many days 
 after the younger son 
 gathered all together, and 
 took his journey into a far 
 country; and there he 
 wasted his substance with 
 riotous living. 
 
 25 And when he had spent 
 all, 'there arose a mighty 
 famine in that country ; and 
 he began to be in want. 
 
378 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 26 And he went and joined 
 himself to one of the citizens 
 of that country ; and he sent 
 him into his fields to feed 
 swine. 
 
 27 And he would fain have 
 been filled with the husks 
 that the swine did eat : and 
 no man gave unto him. 
 
 28 But when he came to 
 himself he said, How many 
 hired servants of my father's 
 have bread enough and to 
 spare, and I perish here with 
 hunger ! 
 
 29 I will arise and go to 
 my father, and will say unto 
 him. Father, I have sinned 
 against heaven, and in thy 
 sight : 
 
 30 I am no more worthy 
 to be called thy son : make 
 me as one of thy hired ser- 
 vants. 
 
 31 And he arose, and came 
 to his father. But while he 
 was yet afar off, his father 
 saw him, and was moved 
 with compassion, and ran, 
 and fell on his neck, and 
 kissed him. 
 
 32 And the son said unto 
 
 him. Father, I have sinned 
 against heaven, and in thy 
 sight : I am no more worthy 
 to be called thy son. 
 
 33 But the father said to 
 his servants. Bring forth 
 quickly the best robe, and 
 put it on him ; and put a ring 
 on his hand, and shoes on 
 his feet : 
 
 34 And bring the fatted 
 calf, and kill it, and let us 
 eat, and make merry : 
 
 35 For this my son was 
 dead, and is alive again ; he 
 was lost, and is found. And 
 they began to be merry. 
 
 36 Now his elder son was 
 in the field ; and as he came 
 and drew nigh to the house, 
 he heard music and dancing. 
 
 37 And he called to him 
 one of the servants, and in- 
 quired what these things 
 might be. 
 
 38 And he said unto him, 
 Thy brother is come ; and 
 thy father hath killed the 
 fatted calf, because he hath 
 received him safe and sound. 
 
 39 But he was angry, and 
 would not go in : and his 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 281 
 
 father came out, and en- 
 treated him. 
 
 40 But he answered and 
 said to his father, Lo, these 
 many years do I serve thee, 
 and I never transgressed a 
 commandment of thine : and 
 yet thou never gavest me a 
 kid, that I might make merry 
 with my friends : 
 
 41 But when this thy son 
 came, which hath devoured 
 thy living with harlots, thoti 
 killedst for him the fatted 
 calf. 
 
 42 And he said unto him. 
 Son, thou art ever with me, 
 and all that is mine is thine. 
 
 43 But it was meet to make 
 merry and be glad : for this 
 thy brother was dead, and is 
 alive again; and was lost, 
 and is found. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 THE UNJUST STEWARD. 
 
 AND he said also unto 
 the disciples. There was 
 a certain rich man, which 
 had a steward ; and the same 
 was accused unto him that 
 he was wasting his goods. 
 
 2 And he called him, and 
 said unto him. What is this 
 that I hear of thee? render 
 the account of thy steward- 
 ship; for thou canst be no 
 longer steward. 
 
 3 And the steward said 
 within himself. What shall I 
 do, seeing that my lord 
 taketh away the stewardship 
 from me? I have not strength 
 to dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 
 
 4 I am resolved what to 
 do, that, when I am put out 
 of the stewardship, they 
 may receive me into their 
 houses. 
 
 5 And calling to him each 
 one of his lord's debtors, he 
 said to the first. How much 
 owest thou tmto my lord? 
 
 6 And he said, A hundred 
 measures of oil. And he 
 said imto him. Take thy 
 bond, and sit down quickly 
 and write fifty. 
 
 7 Then said he to another 
 And how much owest thou? 
 And he said, A hundred 
 measures of wheat. He 
 saith unto him, Take thy 
 bond, and write fourscore. 
 
283 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 8 And his lord commended 
 the unrighteous steward be- 
 cause he had done wisely : 
 for the sons of this world are 
 for their own generation 
 wiser than the sons of the 
 light. 
 
 9 And I say unto you, 
 Make to yourselves friends 
 by means of the mammon of 
 unrighteousness ; that, when 
 it shall fail, they may re- 
 ceive you into the eternal 
 tabernacles. 
 
 10 He that is faithful in a 
 very little is faithful also in 
 much: and he that is un- 
 righteous in a very little is 
 unrighteous also in much. 
 
 1 1 If therefore ye have not 
 been faithful in the unright- 
 eous mammon, who will com- 
 mit to your trust the true 
 riches ? 
 
 12 And if ye have not been 
 faithful in that which is an- 
 other's, who will give you 
 that which is your own? 
 
 13 No servant can serve 
 two masters: for either he 
 will hate the one, and love 
 the other; or else he will 
 
 hold to one, and despise the 
 other. Ye cannot serve God 
 and mammon. 
 
 14 And the Pharisees, who 
 were lovers of money, heard 
 all these things; and they 
 scoffed at him. 
 
 1 5 And he said unto them, 
 Ye are they that justify 
 yourselves in the sight of 
 men ; but God knoweth your 
 hearts: for that which is 
 exalted among men is an 
 abomination in the sight of 
 God. 
 
 16 The law and the pro- 
 phets were until John : from 
 that time the gospel of the 
 kingdom of God is preached, 
 and every man entereth 
 violently into it. 
 
 17 But it is easier for 
 heaven and earth to pass 
 away, than for one tittle of 
 the law to fall. 
 
 18 Every one that putteth 
 away his wife, and marrieth 
 another, committeth adult- 
 ery: and he that marrieth 
 one that is put away from a 
 husband committeth adult- 
 ery.

 The Rich Man Faking Sumi-tuously. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 285 
 
 THE RICH MAN AND 
 
 LAZARUS. 
 
 November, A. d. zg. 
 
 19 Now there was a cer- 
 tain rich man, and he was 
 clothed in purple and fine 
 linen, faring sumptnously 
 every day : 
 
 20 And a certain beggar 
 named Lazarus was laid at 
 his gate, full of sores, 
 
 21 And desiring to be fed 
 with the cruinhs that fell from 
 the rich man's table; yea, 
 even the dogs came and 
 licked his sores. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, 
 that the beggar died, and 
 that he was carried away by 
 the angels into Abraham's 
 bosom: and the rich man 
 also died, and was buried. 
 
 23 And in Hades he lifted 
 up his eyes, being in tor- 
 ments, and seeth Abraham 
 afar off, and Lazarus in his 
 bosom. 
 
 24 And he cried and said. 
 Father Abraham, have 
 mercy on me, and send Laz- 
 arus, that he may dip the 
 tip of his finger in water, and 
 
 cool my tongue ; for I am in 
 anguish in this flame. 
 
 25 But Abraham said, Son, 
 remember that thou in thy 
 lifetime receivedst thy good 
 things, and Lazarus in like 
 manner evil things : but now 
 here he is comforted, and 
 thou art in anguish. 
 
 26 And beside all this, be- 
 tween us and you there is a 
 great gulf fixed, that they 
 which would pass from hence 
 to you may not be able, and 
 that none may cross over 
 from thence to i:s. 
 
 27 And he said, I pray 
 thee therefore, father, that 
 thou wouldest send him to 
 my father's house ; 
 
 28 P'or I have five breth- 
 ren ; that he may testify unto 
 them, lest they also come in- 
 to this place of torment. 
 
 29 But Abraham saith. 
 They have Moses and the 
 prophets ; let them hear 
 them. 
 
 30 And he said, Nay, fa- 
 ther Abraham : but if one go 
 to them from the dead they 
 will repent. 
 
386 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 31 And he said unto him, 
 If they hear not Moses and 
 the prophets, neither will 
 they be persuaded, if one 
 rise from the dead. 
 
 32 And he said unto his 
 disciples. It is impossible 
 but that occasions of stum- 
 bling should come : but woe 
 unto him, through whom 
 they come ! 
 
 33 It were well for him if 
 a millstone were hanged 
 about his neck, and he were 
 thrown into the sea, rather 
 than that he should cause one 
 of these little ones to stum- 
 ble. 
 
 34 Take heed to your- 
 selves : if thy brother sin, re- 
 buke him ; and if he repent, 
 forgive him. 
 
 35 And if he sin against 
 thee seven times in the day, 
 and seven times turn again 
 to thee, saying, I repent; 
 thou shalt forgive him. 
 
 36 And the apostles said 
 unto the Lord, Increase our 
 faith. 
 
 37 And the Lord said. If 
 
 ye have faith as a grain of 
 mustard seed, ye would say 
 unto this sycamine tree, Be 
 thou rooted up, and be thou 
 planted in the sea; and it 
 would have obeyed you. 
 
 38 But who is there of you 
 having a servant plowing or 
 keeping sheep, that will say 
 unto him, when he is come 
 in from the field. Come 
 straightway and sit down to 
 meat; 
 
 39 And will not rather say 
 unto him. Make ready 
 wherewith I may sup, and 
 gird thyself, and serve me, 
 till I have eaten and 
 drunken ; and afterward 
 thou shalt eat and drink? 
 
 40 Doth he thank the ser- 
 vant because he did the 
 things that were com- 
 manded? 
 
 41 Even so ye also, when 
 ye shall have done all the 
 things that are commanded 
 you, say. We are unprofi- 
 table servants ; we have done 
 that which it was our duty 
 to do.

 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 THE KINGDOM OF GOD 
 WITHIN. 
 
 AND being- asked by the 
 Pharisees, when the 
 kingdom of God cometh, he 
 answered them and said, The 
 kingdom of God cometh not 
 with observation : 
 
 2 Neither shall they say, 
 Lo, here ! or, There ! for lo, 
 the kingdom of God is within 
 yon. 
 
 3 And he said tuito the 
 disciples. The days will 
 come, when ye shall desire 
 to see one of the days of the 
 Son of man, and ye shall not 
 see it. 
 
 4 And they shall say to 
 you, Lo, there ! Lo, here ! go 
 not away, nor follow after 
 them . 
 
 5 For as the lightning, 
 when it lighteneth out of the 
 one part under the heaven, 
 shineth unto the other part 
 under heaven ; so shall the 
 Son of man be in his day. 
 
 6 But first must he suffer 
 many things and be rejected 
 of this generation. 
 
 7 And as it came to pass 
 in the days of Noah, even so 
 shall it be also in the days of 
 the Son of man. 
 
 8 They ate, they drank, 
 and they married, they were 
 given in marriage, until the 
 day that Noah entered into 
 the ark, and the flood came, 
 and destroyed them all. 
 
 9 Likewise even as it came 
 to pass in the days of Lot ; 
 they ate, they drank, they 
 bought, they sold, they 
 planted, theybuilded; 
 
 10 But in the day that Lot 
 went out from Sodom it 
 rained fire and britnstone 
 from heaven, and destroyed 
 them all : 
 
 1 1 After the same manner 
 shall it be in the day that 
 the Son of man is revealed. 
 
 12 In that day, he which 
 shall be on the housetop, and 
 his goods in the house, let 
 him not go down to take 
 them away : and let him that 
 is in the field likewise not 
 return back. 
 
 13 Remember Lot's wife. 
 Whosoever shall seek to gain 
 
^90 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 his life shall lose it : but 
 whosoever shall lose /lis life 
 shall preserve it. 
 
 14 I say unto you, In that 
 night there shall be two men 
 on one bed; the one shall be 
 taken, and the other shall be 
 left. 
 
 15 There shall be two 
 women grinding- together ; 
 the one shall be taken, and 
 the other shall be left. 
 
 16 And they answering 
 say imto him. Where, Lord? 
 And he said unto them, 
 Where the body is, thither 
 will the eagles also be 
 gathered together. 
 
 THE UNJUST JUDGE. 
 
 17 And he spake a parable 
 mito them to the end that 
 they ought always to pray, 
 and not to faint ; 
 
 18 Saying, There was in 
 a city a judge, which feared 
 
 not God, and regarded not 
 man : 
 
 19 And there was a widow 
 in that city; and she came 
 oft unto him, saying, Avenge 
 me of mine adversary. 
 
 20 And he would not for a 
 
 while : but afterward he said 
 within himself. Though I 
 fear not God, nor regard 
 man; 
 
 2 1 Yet because this widow 
 troubleth me, I will avenge 
 her, lest she wear me out by 
 her continual coming. 
 
 22 And the Lord said. 
 Hear what the unrighteous 
 judge saith. 
 
 23 And shall not God 
 avenge his elect, which cry 
 to him day and night, and he 
 is longsuffering over them? 
 
 24 I say unto you, that he 
 will avenge them speedily. 
 Howbeit when the Son of 
 man cometh, shall he find 
 faith on the earth? 
 
 SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. 
 
 25 And he spake also this 
 parable unto certain which 
 trusted in themselves that 
 they were righteous, and 
 set all others at naught : 
 
 26 Two men went up into 
 the temple to pray ; the one 
 a Pharisee, and the other a 
 publican. 
 
 27 The Pharisee stood and 
 prayed thus with himself, 
 
Thi; Pharisee anu the Publican. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 293 
 
 God, I thank thee, that I am 
 not as the rest of men, extor- 
 tioners, unjust, adulterers, 
 or even as this publican. 
 
 28 I fast twice in the week ; 
 I give tithes of all that I get. 
 
 29 But the publican, stand- 
 ing afar off, would not lift 
 up so much as his eyes unto 
 heaven, but smote his breast, 
 saying, God, be merciful to 
 me a sinner. 
 
 30 I say unto you, This 
 man went down to his house 
 justified rather than the 
 other : for ever}' one that ex- 
 alteth himself shall be hum- 
 bled; but he that humbleth 
 himself shall be exalted. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 LAZARUS. 
 
 NOW a certain man was 
 sick, Lazarus of Beth- 
 any, of the village of Mary 
 and her sister Martha. 
 
 2 And it was that Mary 
 which anointed the Lord 
 with ointment, and wiped 
 his feet with her hair, whose 
 brother Lazarus was sick. 
 
 3 The sisters therefore 
 
 sent unto him, saying, Lord, 
 behold, he whom thoi: lovest 
 is sick. 
 
 4 Btit when Jesus heard 
 it, he said. This sickness is 
 not unto death, but for the 
 glory of God, that the Son 
 of God may be glorified 
 thereby. 
 
 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, 
 and her sister, and Lazarus. 
 
 6 When therefore he heard 
 that he was sick, he abode 
 at that time two days in the 
 place where he was. 
 
 7 Then after this he saith 
 to the disciples. Let us go 
 into Judaea again. 
 
 8 The disciples say unto 
 him, Rabbi, the Jews were 
 but now seeking to stone 
 thee ; and goest thou thither 
 again? 
 
 9 Jesus answered. Are 
 there not twelve hours in the 
 day? If a man walk in the 
 day, he stumbleth not, be- 
 cause he seeth the light of 
 this world. 
 
 10' But if a man walk in 
 the night, he stumbleth, be- 
 cause the light is not in him. 
 
394 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 1 1 These things spake he : 
 and after this he saith unto 
 them, Our friend Lazarus is 
 fallen asleep ; but I go, that I 
 may awake him out of sleep. 
 
 12 The disciples therefore 
 said unto him. Lord, if he is 
 fallen asleep, he will re- 
 cover. 
 
 13 Now Jesus had spoken 
 of his death: but they 
 thought that he spake of 
 taking rest in sleep. 
 
 14 Then Jesus therefore 
 said unto them plainly, 
 Lazarus is dead. 
 
 1 5 And I am glad for your 
 sakes that I was not there, to 
 the intent ye may believe; 
 nevertheless let us go unto 
 him. 
 
 16 Thomas therefore, who 
 is called Didymus, said unto 
 his fellow-disciples. Let us 
 also go, that we may die 
 with him. 
 
 1 7 So when Jesus came, he 
 found that he had been in 
 the tomb four days already. 
 
 18 Now Bethany was nigh 
 unto Jerusalem, about fitteen 
 furlongs off; 
 
 19 And many of the Jews 
 had come to Martha and 
 Mary, to console them con- 
 cerning their brother. 
 
 20 Martha therefore, when 
 she heard that Jesus was 
 coming, went and met him : 
 but Mary still sat in the 
 house. 
 
 21 Martha therefore said 
 unto Jesus, Lord, if thou 
 hadst been here, my brother 
 had not died. 
 
 22 And even now I know 
 that, whatsoever thou shalt 
 ask of God, God will give 
 thee. Jesus saith unto her, 
 
 23 Thy brother shall rise 
 again. 
 
 24 Martha saith unto him, 
 I know that he shall rise 
 again in the resurrection at 
 the last day. 
 
 25 Jesus said unto her, I 
 am the resurrection, and the 
 life : he that believeth on me, 
 though he die, yet shall he 
 live: 
 
 26 And whosoever liveth 
 and believeth on me shall 
 never die. Believest thou 
 this? 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 297 
 
 27 She saith imto him, 
 Yea, Lord: I have believed 
 that thou art the Christ, the 
 Son of God, even he that 
 Cometh into the world. 
 
 28 And when she had said 
 this, she went away, and 
 called Mary her sister se- 
 cretly, saying. The Master is 
 here, and calleth thee. 
 
 29 And she, when she 
 heard it, arose quickly, and 
 went unto him. 
 
 30 (Now Jesus was not yet 
 come into the village, but 
 was still i«n the place where 
 Martha met him. ) 
 
 31 The Jews then which 
 were with her in the house, 
 and were comforting her, 
 when they saw Mary, that 
 she rose up quickly and went 
 out, followed her, supposing 
 that she was going unto the 
 tomb to weep there. 
 
 32 Mary therefore, when 
 she came where Jesus was, 
 and saw him, fell down at 
 his feet, saying unto him. 
 Lord, if thou hadst been 
 here, my brother had not 
 died. 
 
 33 When Jesus therefore 
 saw her weeping, and the 
 Jews also weeping which 
 came with her, he groaned 
 in the s pi r i t, and was 
 troubled, and said, 
 
 34 Where have ye laid 
 him? They say unto him, 
 Lord, come and see. 
 
 35 Jesus wept. 
 
 36 The Jews therefore 
 said, Behold how he loved 
 him! 
 
 37 But some of them said, 
 Could not this man, which 
 opened the eyes of him that 
 was blind, have caused that 
 this man also should not die? 
 
 38 Jesus therefore again 
 groaning in himself cometh 
 to the tomb. Now it was a 
 cave, and a stone lay against 
 it. 
 
 39 Jesus saith, Take ye 
 away the stone. Martha, 
 the sister of him that was 
 dead, saith, unto him. Lord, 
 by this time he stinketh : for 
 he hath been dead four days. 
 
 4d Jesus saith unto her. 
 Said I not unto thee, that, if 
 thou believedst, thou 
 
298 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 shouldest see the gloiy of 
 God? 
 
 41 So they took away the 
 stone. And Jesus lifted tip 
 his eyes, and said. Father, I 
 thank thee that thou 
 heardest me. 
 
 43 And I knew that thou 
 hearest me always : but be- 
 cause of the multitude which 
 standeth around I said it, 
 that they may believe that 
 thou didst send me. 
 
 January or February, a. D. -yx 
 
 43 And when he had thus 
 spoken, he cried with a loud 
 voice, Lazarus, come forth. 
 
 44 He that was dead came 
 forth, bound hand and foot 
 with grave-clothes; and his 
 face was bound about with a 
 napkin, Jesus saith unto 
 them. Loose him, and let 
 him go. 
 
 45 Many therefore of the 
 Jews, which came to Maiy- 
 and beheld that which he 
 did, believed on him. 
 
 46 But some of them went 
 away to the Pharisees, and 
 told them the things which 
 Jesus had done. 
 
 47 The chief priests 
 therefore and the Pharisees 
 gathered a cotmcil. and said. 
 What do we? for this man 
 doeth many signs. 
 
 48 If we let him thus 
 alone, all men will believe 
 on him : and the Romans will 
 come and take away both 
 our place and our nation. 
 
 49 But a certain one of 
 them, Caiaphas, being high 
 priest that year, said unto 
 them, Ye know nothing at all, 
 
 50 Xor do ye take account 
 that it is expedient for you 
 that one man should die for 
 the people, and that the 
 whole nation perish not. 
 
 5 1 Xow this he said not of 
 himself: but being high 
 priest that year, he pro- 
 phesied that Jesus should 
 die for the nation ; 
 
 52 And not for the nation 
 only, but that he might also 
 gather together into one the 
 children of God that are 
 scattered abroad. 
 
 53 So from that day forth 
 they took counsel that they 
 might put him to death. 
 
54 Jesus therefore walked 
 no more openly among the 
 Jews, but departed thence 
 into the country near to the 
 wilderness, into a city called 
 Ephraim ;and there he 
 tarried with the disciples. 
 
 OF OUR RISEN LORD. 301 
 
 three days he shall rise 
 again. 
 
 5 And they understood 
 none of these things; and 
 this saying was hid from 
 them, and they perceived 
 not the things that were said. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH. 
 
 AND they were in the 
 way, going up to Jeru- 
 salem; and Jesus was going 
 before them : and they were 
 amazed; and they that fol- 
 lowed were afraid. 
 
 2 And he took again the 
 twelve, and began to tell 
 them the things that were to 
 happen unto him, saying, 
 
 3 Behold, we go up to 
 Jerusalem ; and the Son of 
 man shall be delivered unto 
 the chief priests and the 
 scribes ; and thej^ shall con- 
 demn him to death, and 
 shall deliver him imto the 
 Gentiles : 
 
 4 And they shall mock 
 him, and shall spit upon him, 
 and shall scourge him, and 
 shall kill him ; and after 
 
 THE SONS OF ZEBEDEE. 
 
 6 Then came to him the 
 mother of the sons of Zebe- 
 dee with her sons, worship- 
 ping ///;//, and asking a cer- 
 tain thing of him. 
 
 7 And he said unto her, 
 What wouldest thou? She 
 saith unto him. Command 
 that these my two sons may 
 sit, one on thy right hand, 
 and one on thy left hand, in 
 thy kingdom. 
 
 8 But Jesus answered and 
 said. Ye know not what ye 
 ask. Are ye able to drink 
 the cup that I am about to 
 drink? They say unto him. 
 We are able. 
 
 9 He saith unto them, My 
 cup indeed ye shall drink: 
 but to sit on my right hand, 
 and on my left hand, is not 
 mine to give, bt;t // is for 
 
302 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 them for whom it hath been 
 prepared of my Father. 
 
 10 And when the ten heard 
 it, they were moved with 
 indignation concerning the 
 two brethren. 
 
 1 1 But Jesus called them 
 unto him, and said. Ye know 
 that the rulers of the Gen- 
 tiles lord it over them, and 
 their great ones exercise 
 authority over them. 
 
 12 Not so shall it be 
 among you : but whosoever 
 would become great among 
 you shall be your minister; 
 and whosoever would be first 
 among you shall be your 
 servant : 
 
 13 Even as the Son of man 
 came not to be ministered 
 unto, but to minister, and to 
 give his life a ransom for 
 many. 
 
 THE BLIND BARTIM^US. 
 March, a. d. 30. 
 
 14 And they come to Jeri- 
 cho: and as he went out 
 from Jericho, with his dis- 
 ciples and a great multi- 
 tude, the son of Timaeus, 
 Bartimasus, a blind beg- 
 
 gar, was sitting by the way 
 side. 
 
 15 And when he heard 
 that it was Jesus of Nazareth, 
 he began to cry out, and say, 
 Jesus, thou son of David, 
 have mercy on me. 
 
 16 And many rebuked 
 him, that he should hold his 
 peace : but he cried out the 
 more a great deal. Thou son 
 of David, have mercy on me. 
 
 17 And Jesus stood still, 
 and said. Call ye him. And 
 they call the blind man, say- 
 ing unto him. Be of good 
 cheer : rise, he calleth thee. 
 
 18 And he, casting away 
 his garment, sprang up, and 
 came to Jesus. 
 
 19 And Jesus answered 
 him, and said, What wilt 
 thou that I should do unto 
 thee? And the blind man 
 said unto him, Rabboni, that 
 I may receive my sight. 
 
 20 And Jesus said unto 
 him. Receive thy sight: thy 
 faith hath made thee whole. 
 
 21 And immediately he 
 received his sight, and fol- 
 lowed him, glorifying God: 
 
H 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 305 
 
 and all the people, when 
 they saw it, gave praise un- 
 to God. 
 
 ZACCH.F.US. 
 
 2 2 And he entered and 
 was passing through Jericho. 
 And behold, a man called by 
 name Zacchasus ; and he was 
 a chief publican, and he was 
 rich. 
 
 23 And he sought to see 
 Jesus who he was ; and could 
 not for the crowd, because 
 he was little of stature. 
 
 24 And he ran on before, 
 and climbed up into a syco- 
 more tree to see him : for he 
 was to pass that way. 
 
 25 And when Jesus came 
 to the place, he looked up, 
 and said unto him, Zac- 
 chaeus.make haste, and come 
 down ; f o r to-day I must 
 abide at thy house. 
 
 26 And he made haste, 
 and came down, and re- 
 ceived him joyfully. 
 
 27 And when they saw it, 
 they all murmured, saying. 
 He is gone in to lodge with 
 a man that is a sinner. 
 
 28 And Zacchasus stood, 
 
 and said unto the Lord, Be- 
 hold, Lord, the half of niy 
 goods I give to the poor ; and 
 if I have wrongfully exacted 
 aught of any man, I restore 
 fourfold. 
 
 29 And Jesus said inito 
 him, To-day i s salvation 
 come to this house, foras- 
 much as he also is a son of 
 Abraham. 
 
 30 For the Son of man 
 came to seek and to save that 
 which was lost. 
 
 THE MISUSED TALENT. 
 
 31 And as they heard 
 these things, he added and 
 spake a parable, because he 
 was nigh to Jerusalem, and 
 because they supposed that 
 the kingdom of God was im- 
 mediately to appear. 
 
 32 He said therefore, A 
 certain nobleman went into 
 a far country, to receive for 
 himself a kingdom, and to 
 return. 
 
 33 And he called ten ser- 
 vants of his, and gave them 
 ten pounds, and j'aid unto 
 them Trade ye herewith till 
 I come. 
 
306 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 34 But his citizens hated 
 him, and sent an ambassage 
 after him, saying, We will 
 not that this man reign over 
 us. 
 
 35 And it came to pass, 
 when he was come back 
 again, having received the 
 kingdom, that he com- 
 manded these servants, unto 
 whom he had given the 
 money, to be called to him, 
 that he might know what 
 they had gained by trading. 
 
 36 And the first came be- 
 fore him, saying, Lord, thy 
 pound hath made ten pounds 
 more. 
 
 37 And he said unto him, 
 Well done, thou good ser- 
 vant: because thou wast 
 found faithft:l in a very little, 
 have thoi; authority over ten 
 cities. 
 
 38 And the second came, 
 saying, Thy pound, Lord, 
 hath made five pounds. 
 
 39 And he said unto him 
 also, Be thou also over five 
 cities. 
 
 40 And another came say- 
 ing, Lord, behold, /lere is thy 
 
 pound, which I kept laid up 
 in a napkin : 
 
 41 For I feared thee, be- 
 cause thou art an austere 
 man : thou takest u p that 
 thou layedst not down, and 
 reapest that thou didst not 
 sow. 
 
 42 He saith unto him, Out 
 of thine own mouth will I 
 judge thee, thou wicked ser- 
 vant. Thou knewest that I 
 am an austere man, taking 
 up that I laid not down. 
 and reaping that I did not 
 sow; 
 
 43 Then wherefore gavest 
 thou not my money into the 
 bank, and I at my coming 
 should have required it with 
 interest? 
 
 44 And he said imto them 
 that stood by, Take away 
 from him the pound, and 
 give it unto him that hath 
 the ten pounds. 
 
 45 And they said unto him, 
 Lord, he hath ten pounds. 
 
 46 I say unto you, that un- 
 to every one that hath shall 
 be given ; but from him that 
 hath not, even that which he 
 
u 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 be taken away 
 
 309 
 
 hath shall 
 from him. 
 
 47 Howbeit these mine 
 enemies, which would not 
 that I should reign over 
 them, bring hither, and slay 
 them before me. 
 
 48 And when he had thus 
 spoken, he went on before, 
 going up to Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 NOW the passover of the 
 Jews was at hand : and 
 many went up to Jerusalem 
 out of the country before the 
 passover, to purify them- 
 selves. 
 
 2 They sought therefore 
 for Jesus, and spake one with 
 another, as they stood in the 
 temple. What think ye? That 
 he will not come to the feast? 
 
 3 Now the chief priests 
 and the Pharisees had given 
 commandment, that, if any 
 man knew where he was, he 
 should shew it, that they 
 might take him. 
 
 THE LAST WEEK BEFORE THE 
 CRUCIFIXION. 
 
 4 Jestis therefore six days 
 
 before the passover came 
 to Bethany, where Lazarus 
 was, whom Jesus raised from 
 the dead. 
 
 5 T h e common people 
 therefore of the Jews learned 
 that he was there : and they 
 came, not for Jesus' sake 
 only, but that they might see 
 Lazarus also, 
 
 6 But the chief priests 
 took counsel that they might 
 put Lazarus also to death ; 
 
 7 Because that by reason 
 of him many of the Jews 
 went away, and believed on 
 Jesus. 
 
 8 Now when Jesus was in 
 Bethany, in the house of Si- 
 mon the leper, 
 
 9 They made him a sup- 
 per there ; and !M a r t h a 
 served; but Lazarus was 
 one of them that sat at 
 meat with him. 
 
 10 Mary therefore took a 
 pound of ointment of spike- 
 nard, very precious, and 
 poured it upon his head, as 
 he sat at meat, and an- 
 ointed the feet of Jesus, and 
 wiped his feet with her hair ; 
 
310 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and the house was filled with 
 the odour of the ointment. 
 
 1 1 But when the disciples 
 saw it, they had indignation, 
 saying. To what purpose is 
 this waste? 
 
 1 2 For this ointment might 
 have been sold for much, and 
 given to the poor. 
 
 13 And Judas Iscariot, 
 which should betray him, 
 saith, 
 
 14 Why was not this oint- 
 ment sold for three hundred 
 pence, and given to the poor? 
 
 15 Now this he said, not 
 because he cared for the 
 pool'; but because he was a 
 thief, and having thebag took 
 away what was put therein. 
 
 16 But Jesus perceiving it 
 said unto them. Why trouble 
 ye the woman? for she hath 
 wrought a good work upon 
 me. 
 
 17 For ye have the poor 
 always with you; but me ye 
 have not always. 
 
 18 For in that she poured 
 this ointment upon my body, 
 she did it to prepare me for 
 burial. 
 
 19 Verily I say unto you, 
 Wheresoever this gospel 
 shall be preached in the 
 whole world, that also which 
 this woman hath done shall 
 be spoken of for a memorial 
 of her. 
 
 April 2, A. D. 30. 
 
 20 On the morrow when 
 they draw nigh unto Jeru- 
 salem, unto Bethphage and 
 Bethany, at the mount of 
 Olives, 
 
 21 A great multitude that 
 \, had come to the feast, when 
 
 they heard that Jesus was 
 coming to Jerusalem, 
 
 22 Took the branches of 
 the palm trees, and went forth 
 to meet him, and cried out, 
 Hosanna : Blessed is he that 
 Cometh in the name of the 
 Lord, even the Kingof Israel. 
 
 23 Then Jesus sendeth two 
 of his disciples, and saith im- 
 to them. Go your way into 
 the village that is over 
 against you : and straight- 
 way as ye enter into it, ye 
 shall find a colt tied, where- 
 on no man ever yet sat ; loose 
 him, and bring him. 
 
"Whai [>v \t. Loosing the Colt? 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 24 And if any one say un- 
 to you, Why do ye this? say 
 ye, The Lord hath need of 
 him; and straightway he 
 will send him baclc hither. 
 
 25 And they went away, 
 and found a colt tied at the 
 door without in the open 
 street; and they loose him. 
 
 26 And certain of them 
 that stood there said unto 
 them, What do ye, loosing 
 the colt? 
 
 27 And they said unto 
 them even as Jesus had said : 
 and they let them go. 
 
 28 And they bring the colt 
 unto Jesus, and cast on him 
 their garments; and Jesus 
 sat upon him. 
 
 29 Now this is come to 
 pass, that it might be ful- 
 filled which was spoken by 
 the prophet, saying, 
 
 30 Tell ye the daughter of 
 Zion, 
 
 Behold, thy King cometh 
 unto thee. 
 
 Meek, and riding upon an 
 ass, 
 
 And upon a colt the foal 
 of an ass. 
 
 313 
 
 things under- 
 
 31 These 
 stood not his disciples at the 
 first: but when Jesus was 
 glorified, then remembered 
 they that these things were 
 written of him, and that they 
 had done these things unto 
 him. 
 
 32 The multitude there- 
 fore that was with him when 
 he called Lazarus out of the 
 tomb, and raised him from 
 the dead, bare witness. 
 
 33 P^or this cause also the 
 multitude went and met him, 
 for that they heard that he 
 had done this sign. 
 
 34 And the most part of 
 the multitude spread their 
 garments in the way; and 
 others cut branches from the 
 trees, and sj^read them in the 
 way. 
 
 35 And as he was now 
 drawing nigh, even at the de- 
 scent of the mount of Olives, 
 the whole multitude of the 
 disciples began to rejoice 
 an& praise God with a loud 
 voice for all the mighty 
 works which they had seen; 
 
 36 Saying, Blessed is the 
 
314 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 King that cometh in the 
 name of the Lord ; peace in 
 heaven, and glory in the 
 highest. 
 
 37 Blessed is the kingdom 
 that cometh, t/ie kingdom of 
 our father David: Hosanna 
 in the highest. 
 
 38 The Pharisees there- 
 fore said among themselves, 
 Behold how ye prevail noth- 
 ing: lo, the world is gone 
 after him. 
 
 39 And some of the Phari- 
 sees from the multitude said 
 unto him. Master, rebuke 
 thy disciples. 
 
 40 And he answered and 
 said, I tell you that, if these 
 shall hold their peace, the 
 stones will cry out. 
 
 41 And when he drew 
 nigh, he saw the city and 
 wept over it, saying, 
 
 42 If thou hadst known in 
 this day, even thou, the 
 things which belong unto 
 peace ! but now they are hid 
 from thine eyes. 
 
 43 For the days shall come 
 upon thee, when thine ene- 
 mies shall cast up a bank 
 
 aboi:t thee, and compass 
 thee round, and keep thee in 
 on every side, 
 
 44 And shall dash thee to 
 the ground, and thy children 
 within thee ; and they shall 
 not leave in thee one stone 
 upon another; because thou 
 knewest not the time of thy 
 visitation. 
 
 45 And when he was come 
 into Jerusalem, all the city 
 was stirred, saying. Who is 
 this? 
 
 THE TEMPLE PURGED. 
 
 46 And Jesus entered into 
 the temple of God, and cast 
 out all them that sold and 
 bought in the temple, and 
 overthrew the tables of the 
 money - changers, and the 
 seats of them that sold the 
 doves; 
 
 47 And he would not suf- 
 fer that anyman should carry 
 a vessel through the temple. 
 
 48 And he taught and 
 said unto them. Is it not 
 written, My house shall be 
 called a house of prayer for 
 all the nations^ but ye have 
 made it a de:i of robbers. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 317 
 
 49 And he was teaching 
 daily in the temple. But 
 the chief priests and the 
 scribes and the principal 
 men of the people sought to 
 destroy him : 
 
 50 And they could not find 
 what they might do ; for the 
 people all hung upon him, 
 listening. 
 
 51 And the blind and the 
 lame came to him in the 
 temple : and he healed 
 them. 
 
 52 But when the chief 
 priests and the scribes saw 
 the wonderful things that he 
 did, and the children that 
 were crying in the temple 
 and saying, Hosanna to the 
 son of David; they were 
 moved with indignation, 
 
 53 And said unto him, 
 Hearest thou what these are 
 saying? And Jesus saith un- 
 to them. Yea : did ye never 
 read. Out of the mouth of 
 babes and sucklings thou 
 hast perfected praise? 
 
 54 And when he had 
 looked round about upon all 
 things, it being now even- 
 
 tide, he went out unto Beth- 
 any with the twelve. 
 
 CHAPTER XLV. 
 
 NOW in the morning as 
 he returned to the city, 
 from Bethany, he htmgered. 
 
 2 And seeing a fig tree 
 afar off having leaves, he 
 came, if haply he might find 
 anything thereon : and when 
 he came to it, he found 
 nothing but leaves; for it 
 was not the season of figs. 
 
 3 And he saith unto it, Let 
 there be no fruit from thee 
 henceforward for ever. And 
 his disciples heard it. 
 
 4 And immediately the fig 
 tree withered away. 
 
 5 And when he was come 
 into the temple, the chief 
 priests and the elders of the 
 people came unto him as he 
 was teaching, and said. By 
 what authority docst thou 
 these things? and who gave 
 thee. this atithority? 
 
 6 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, I also will 
 ask you one question, which 
 if ye tell me, I likewise will 
 
318 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 tell you by what authority I 
 do these things. 
 
 7 The baptism of John, 
 whence was it? from heaven 
 or from men? And they 
 reasoned with themselves, 
 saying. If we shall say, From 
 heaven; he will say unto 
 us, Why then did ye not be- 
 lieve him? 
 
 8 But should we say, From 
 men — t hey feared the 
 people : for all verily held 
 John to be a prophet. 
 
 9 And they answered 
 Jesus and say, We know not. 
 And Jesus saith unto them, 
 Neither tell I you by what 
 authority I do these things. 
 
 10 But what think ye? A 
 man had two sons; and he 
 came to the first, and said. 
 Son, go work to-day in the 
 vineyard. 
 
 1 1 And he answered and 
 said, I will not : but after- 
 ward he repented himself 
 and went. 
 
 12 And he came to the 
 second, and said likewise. 
 And he answered and said, I 
 go, sir : and went not. 
 
 13 Whether of the twain 
 did the will of his father? 
 They say. The first. Jesus 
 saith unto them. Verily I say 
 unto you, that the publicans 
 and the harlots go into the 
 kingdom of God before you. 
 
 14 For John came unto 
 you in the way of righteous- 
 ness, and ye believed him 
 not: but the publicans and 
 the harlots believed him : 
 and ye, when ye saw it, did 
 not even repent yourselves 
 afterward, that ye might be- 
 lieve him. 
 
 THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN. 
 
 1 5 Hear another parable : 
 There was a man that was a 
 householder, which planted 
 a vineyard, and set a hedge 
 about it, and digged a wine- 
 press in it, and built a tower, 
 and let it out to husband- 
 men, and went into another 
 country. 
 
 16 And when the season of 
 the fruits drew near, he sent 
 his servants to the husband- 
 men, to receive his fruits. 
 
 17 And the htisbandmen 
 took his servants, and beat 
 
x 
 
OF OUR RISF.N LORD. 
 
 321 
 
 one, and killed another, and 
 stoned another. 
 
 1 8 Again, he sent other 
 servants more than the first : 
 and they did unto them in 
 like manner. 
 
 19 But afterward he sent 
 imto them his beloved son, 
 saying, They will reverence 
 my son. 
 
 20 But the husbandmen, 
 when they saw the son, said 
 among themselves. This is 
 the heir; come, let us kill 
 him, and take his inheri- 
 tance. 
 
 21 And they took him, 
 and cast him forth out of 
 the vineyard, and killed 
 him. 
 
 22 When therefore the 
 lord of the vine^^ard shall 
 come, what will he do unto 
 those husbandmen? 
 
 23 They say unto him. He 
 will miserably destroy those 
 miserable men, and will let 
 out the vineyard unto other 
 husbandmen, which shall 
 render him the fruits in their 
 seasons. 
 
 24 Jesus saith unto them, 
 
 Did ye never read in the 
 scriptures. 
 
 The stone which the build- 
 ers rejected. 
 
 The same was made the 
 head of the corner : 
 
 This was from the Lord, 
 
 And it is marvellous in 
 our eyes? 
 
 25 Therefore say I unto 
 you. The kingdom of (lod 
 shall be taken away from 
 you, and shall be given to a 
 nation bringing forth the 
 fruits thereof. 
 
 26 And he that falleth on 
 this stone shall be broken to 
 pieces: but on whomsoever 
 it shall fall, it will scatter 
 him as dust. 
 
 27 And when the chief 
 priests and the Pharisees 
 heard his parables, they 
 perceived that he spake of 
 them. 
 
 28 And when they sought 
 to lay hold on him, they 
 feared the multitudes be- 
 cause 'they took him for a 
 prophet. 
 
 29 Then went the Phari- 
 sees, and took coiuisel how 
 
322 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 they might ensnare him in 
 his talk. 
 
 30 For though he had done 
 so many signs before them, 
 yet they believed not on 
 him : 
 
 3 1 That the word of Isaiah 
 the prophet might be ful- 
 filled, which he spake, 
 
 Lord who hath believed 
 our report? 
 
 And to whom hath the 
 arm of the Lord been re- 
 vealed? 
 
 32 For this cause they 
 could not believe, for that 
 Isaiah said again, 
 
 33 He hath blinded their 
 ej^es, and he hardened their 
 heart ; 
 
 Lest they should see with 
 their eyes, and perceive with 
 their heart. 
 
 And should turn, 
 
 And I should heal them. 
 
 34 These things said 
 Isaiah, because he saw his 
 glory ; and he sjDake of him. 
 
 35 Nevertheless even of 
 the rulers many believed on 
 him; but because of the 
 Pharisees they did not con- 
 
 fess //, lest they should be 
 put out of the synagogue : 
 
 36 For they loved the 
 glory of men more than the 
 glory of God. 
 
 37 And every day he was 
 teaching in the temple ; and 
 every night he went out, and 
 lodged in the mount that is 
 called the )iioiiiit of Olives. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVL 
 
 THE BARREN FIG-TREE. 
 April 4, A. D. 30. 
 
 AND as they pased by in 
 the morning, they saw 
 the fig tree withered away 
 from the roots. 
 
 2 And Peter calling to re- 
 membrance saith unto him, 
 Rabbi, behold, the fig tree 
 which thou cursedst is with- 
 ered away. 
 
 3 And Jesus answering 
 saith unto them. Have faith 
 in God. 
 
 4 Verily I say unto you, 
 Whosoever shall say unto 
 this mountain, Be thou taken 
 up and cast into the sea ; and 
 shall not doubt in his heart, 
 but shall believe that what 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 325 
 
 he saith cometh to pass ; he 
 shall have it. 
 
 5 Therefore I say unto 
 you, All things whatsoever 
 ye pray and ask for, believe 
 that ye have received them, 
 and ye shall have them. 
 
 6 And whensoever ye 
 stand praying, forgive, if ye 
 have aught against any one ; 
 that your Father also which 
 is in heaven may forgive 
 you your trespasses.' 
 
 7 Now there were certain 
 Greeks among those that 
 went up to worship at the 
 feast : 
 
 8 These therefore came to 
 Philip, which was of Beth- 
 saida of Galilee, and asked 
 him, saying. Sir, we would 
 see Jesus. 
 
 9 Philip cometh and tell- 
 eth A n d r e w : A n d r e w 
 cometh, and Philip, and they 
 tell Jesus. 
 
 10 And Jesus answereth 
 them, saying. The hour is 
 
 1 Many ancient authorities add : 
 But if ye do not forgive^ neither 
 will your Father 'ivliicli is in heaven 
 forgive your trespasses. 
 
 come, that the Son of man 
 should be glorified. 
 
 1 1 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto 3'ou, Except a grain of 
 wheat fall into the earth and 
 die, i t abideth b }' itself 
 alone ; but if it die, it bear- 
 eth much fruit. 
 
 12 He that loveth his life 
 loseth it; and he that hateth 
 his life in this world shall 
 keep it unto life eternal. 
 
 13 If any man serve me, 
 let him follow me ; and 
 where I am, there shall also 
 my servant be : if any man 
 serve me, h i m w i 1 1 the 
 Father honour. 
 
 14 Now is my soul troub- 
 led; and what shall I say? 
 Father, save me from this 
 hour. But for this cause 
 came I unto this hour. 
 
 A VOICE FROM HKAVEN. 
 
 15 Father, glorify thy 
 name. There came there- 
 fore a voice out of heaven, 
 saying, I have both glorified 
 it, and will glorify it again. 
 
 16 The multitude there- 
 fore, that stood by, and 
 heard it, said that it had 
 
326 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 thundered: others said, An 
 angel hath spoken to him. 
 
 17 Jesus answered and 
 said, This voice hath not 
 come for my sake, but for 
 your sakes. 
 
 18 Now is the judgement 
 of this world : now shall the 
 prince of this world be cast 
 out. 
 
 19 And I, if I be lifted up 
 from the earth, will draw all 
 men unto myself. 
 
 20 But this he said, sig- 
 nifying by what manner of 
 death he should die. 
 
 21 The multitude there- 
 fore answered him, We have 
 heard out of the law that the 
 Christ abideth for ever : and 
 how say est thou, The Son of 
 man must be lifted up? who 
 is this Son of man? 
 
 22 Jesus therefore said 
 tmto them. Yet a little while 
 is the light among you. 
 Walk while ye have the 
 light, that darkness overtake 
 you not : and he that walketh 
 in the darkness knoweth not 
 whither he goeth. 
 
 23 While ye have the light. 
 
 believe on the light, that ye 
 may become sons of light. 
 
 24 And Jesus cried and 
 said. He that believeth on 
 me, believeth not on me, but 
 on him that sent me. 
 
 25 And he that beholdeth 
 me beholdeth him that sent 
 me. 
 
 26 I am come a light into 
 the world, that whosoever 
 believeth on me may not 
 abide in the darkness. 
 
 27 And if any man hear 
 my sayings, and keep them 
 not, I judge him not: for I 
 came not to judge the world, 
 but to save the world. 
 
 28 He that rejecteth me, 
 and receiveth not my say- 
 ings, hath one that judgeth 
 him : the word that I spake, 
 the same shall judge him in 
 the last day. 
 
 29 P'or I spake not from 
 myself ; but the Father 
 which sent me, h e hath 
 given me a commandment, 
 what I should say, and what 
 I should speak. 
 
 30 And I know that his 
 commandment is life eter-

OF OUR RISEN LORD.

 nal : the things therefore 
 which I speak, even as the 
 Father hath said unto me, so 
 I speak. 
 
 31 And he sat down over 
 against the treasury, and be- 
 held how the multitude cast 
 money into the treasury : 
 and many that were rich cast 
 in much. 
 
 THE POOR WIDOW. 
 
 32 And there came a poor 
 widow, and she cast in two 
 mites, which make a far- 
 thing. 
 
 33 And he called unto him 
 his disciples, and said unto 
 them, Verily I say unto you, 
 this poor widow cast in more 
 than all they which are cast- 
 ing into the treasury : 
 
 34 For they all did cast in 
 of their superfluity ; but she 
 of her want did cast in all 
 that she had, even all her liv- 
 ing. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVII. 
 
 THE MARRIAGE FEAST. 
 
 AND Jesus answered and 
 spake again in parables 
 unto them, saying, 
 
 2 The kingdom of heaven 
 is likened unto a certain 
 king, which made a marriage 
 feast for his son, 
 
 3 And sent forth his ser- 
 vants to call them that were 
 bidden to the marriage feast : 
 and they would not come. 
 
 4 Again he sent forth 
 other servants, saying, Tell 
 them that are bidden. Be- 
 hold, I have made ready my 
 dinner : my oxen and my fat- 
 lings are killed, and all 
 things are ready: come to 
 the marriage feast. 
 
 5 But they made light of 
 it, and went their ways, one 
 to his own farm, another to 
 his merchandise : 
 
 6 And the rest laid hold 
 on his servants, and en- 
 treated them shamefully, 
 and killed them. 
 
 7 But the king was wroth ; 
 and he sent his armies, and 
 destroyed those murderers, 
 and burned their city. 
 
 *8 Then saith he to his 
 servants, The wedding is 
 ready, but they that were 
 bidden were not worthy. 
 
330 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 9 Go ye therefore unto 
 the partings of the high- 
 ways, and as many as ye 
 shall find, bid to the mar- 
 riage feast. 
 
 10 And those servants 
 went out into the highways, 
 and gathered together all as 
 many as they found, both 
 bad and good : and the wed- 
 ding was filled with guests. 
 
 1 1 But when the king 
 came in to behold the guests, 
 he saw there a man which 
 had not on a wedding-gar- 
 ment : 
 
 12 And he saith unto him, 
 Friend, how camest thou in 
 hither not having a wed- 
 ding garment? And he was 
 speechless. 
 
 13 Then the king said to 
 the servants. Bind him hand 
 and foot, and cast him out 
 into the outer darkness; 
 and there shall be the weep- 
 ing and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 14 For many are called, 
 but few chosen. 
 
 CiESAR'S TRIBUTE MONEY. 
 
 15 Then went the Phari- 
 
 sees, and took counsel how 
 they might ensnare him in 
 /lis talk. 
 
 16 And they sent to him 
 their disciples, with the He- 
 rodians, saying, Master, we 
 know that thou art true, and 
 teachest the way of God in 
 truth, and carest not for any 
 one : for thou regardest not 
 the person of men. 
 
 17 Tell us therefore, What 
 thinkest thou ? Is it lawful 
 to give tribute unto Caesar, 
 or not.? 
 
 18 But Jesus perceived 
 their wickedness, and said. 
 Why tempt ye me, ye hypo- 
 crites? 
 
 19 Shew me the tribute 
 money. And they brought 
 unto him a penny. 
 
 20 And h e saith unto 
 them. Whose is this image 
 and superscription? 
 
 21 They say unto him, 
 Cassar's. Then saith he un- 
 to them, Render therefore 
 unto Caesar the things that 
 are Caesar's; and imto God 
 the things that are God's. 
 
 22 And when they heard 
 
.._ 1 AiBUTE Money." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 338 
 
 it, they marvelled and left 
 him, and went their way. 
 
 23 On that day there came 
 to him Sadducees, which say 
 that there is no resurrection : 
 and they asked him, saying, 
 
 24 Master, Moses said, If 
 a man die, having no child- 
 ren, his brother shall marry 
 his wife, and raise up seed 
 unto his brother. 
 
 25 Now there were with 
 us seven brethren: and the 
 first married and deceased, 
 and having no seed left his 
 wife unto his brother ; 
 
 26 And the second took 
 her, and died, leaving no 
 seed behind him; and the 
 third likewise : and the 
 seven left no seed. 
 
 27 Last of all the woman 
 also died. 
 
 28 In the resurrection 
 whose wife shall she be of 
 them? for the seven had her 
 to wife. 
 
 29 Jesus said unto them. 
 Is it not for this cause that 
 ye err, that ye know not the 
 scriptures, nor the power of 
 God? 
 
 30 The sons of this world 
 marry, and are given in 
 marriage : 
 
 31 But they that are ac- 
 counted worthy to attain to 
 that world, and the resur- 
 rection from the dead, 
 neither marry, nor are given 
 in marriage : 
 
 32 Neither can they die 
 any more : for they are equal 
 unto the angels ; and are sons 
 of God, being sons of the 
 resurrection. 
 
 33 But that the dead are 
 raised, even Moses shewed, 
 in the place concerning the 
 Bush, when he calleth the 
 Lord the God of Abraham, 
 and the God of Isaac, and the 
 God of Jacob. 
 
 34 Now he is not the God 
 of the dead, but of the living : 
 for all live unto him. 
 
 35 Ye do greatly err. 
 
 36 And when the multi- 
 tudes heard it, they were as- 
 tonished at his teaching. 
 
 37 And certain of the 
 scribes answering said, INIas- 
 ter, thou hast well said. 
 
 s8 But the Pharisees, 
 
334 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 when they heard that he 
 had put the Sadducees to si- 
 lence, gathered themselves 
 together. 
 
 39 And one of them, a 
 lawyer, asked him a ques- 
 tion, tempting him. 
 
 40 Master, which is the 
 great commandment in the 
 law? 
 
 41 And he said unto him. 
 Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
 God with all thy heart, and 
 with all thy soul, and with 
 all thy mind. 
 
 42 This is the great and 
 first commandment. 
 
 43 And a second like iinto 
 it is this. Thou shalt love thy 
 neighbour as thyself. 
 
 44 On these two com- 
 mandments h a n g e t h the 
 whole law, and the prophets. 
 
 45 And the scribe said un- 
 to him. Of a truth, Master, 
 thou hast well said that he 
 is one; and there is none 
 other but he : 
 
 46 And to love him with 
 all the heart, and with all 
 the understanding, and with 
 all the strength, and to love 
 
 his neighbour as himself, is 
 much more than all whole 
 burnt offerings and sacri- 
 fices. 
 
 47 And when Jesus saw 
 that he answered discreetly, 
 he said unto him, Thou art 
 not far from the kingdom of 
 God. And no man after that 
 durst ask him any question. 
 
 48 Now while the Phari- 
 sees were gathered together, 
 Jesus asked them a question, 
 saying, 
 
 49 What think ye of the 
 Christ? whose son is he ? 
 They say unto him, The son 
 of David. 
 
 50 He saith unto them. 
 How then doth David in the 
 spirit call him Lord, 
 
 51 For David himself saith 
 in the book of Psalms, 
 
 The Lord said unto my 
 Lord, 
 
 Sit thou on my right hand, 
 
 52 Till I make thine en- 
 emies the footstool of thy 
 feet. 
 
 53 If David then calleth 
 him Lord, how is he his son? 
 
 54 And no one was able 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 337 
 
 to answer him a word, 
 neither durst any man from 
 that day forth ask him any 
 more questions. 
 
 55 And the common peo- 
 ple heard him gladly. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVIII. 
 
 THEN spake Jesus to the 
 multitudes and to his 
 disciples, saying, 
 
 2 The scribes and the 
 Pharisees sit on Moses' seat : 
 
 3 A 1 1 things therefore 
 whatsoever they bid you, 
 tlicsc do and observe : but do 
 not ye after their works ; for 
 they say, and do not. 
 
 4 Yea, they bind heavy 
 burdens and grievous to be 
 borne, and lay them on 
 men's shoulders; but they 
 themselves will not move 
 them with their finger. 
 
 5 But all their works they 
 do for to be seen of men : for 
 they make broad their phy- 
 lacteries and enlarge the 
 borders of their garments, 
 
 6 And love the chief place 
 at feasts, and the chief seats 
 in the synagogues, and the 
 
 salutations in the market- 
 places, and to be called of 
 men. Rabbi. 
 
 7 But be not ye called 
 Rabbi :for one is your 
 teacher, and all ye are 
 brethren. 
 
 8 And call no man your 
 father on the earth: for one 
 is your Father, which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 9 Neither be ye called 
 masters: for one is your 
 master, even the Christ. 
 
 10 But he that is greatest 
 among you shall be your ser- 
 vant. 
 
 1 1 And whosoever shall 
 exalt himself shall be 
 humbled ; and whosoever 
 shall humble himself shall 
 be exalted. 
 
 WOE UNTO YOU, PHARISEES. 
 
 1 2 But woe unto you, 
 scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
 crites! because ye shut the 
 kingdom of heaven against 
 men: for ye enter not in 
 yourselves, neither suffer ye 
 them that are entering in to 
 enter. 
 
 13 Woe unto you, scribes 
 
sss 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye compass sea and land 
 to make one proselyte ; and 
 when he is become so, ye 
 make him twofold more a 
 son of hell than yourselves. 
 
 14 Woe unto you, ye blind 
 guides, which say, Whoso- 
 ever shall swear by the tem- 
 ple, it is nothing ; but whoso- 
 ever shall swear by the gold 
 of the temple, he is a debtor. 
 
 1 5 Ye fools and blind : for 
 whether is greater, the gold, 
 or the temple that hath 
 sanctified the gold? 
 
 16 And, Whosoever shall 
 swear by the altar, it is 
 nothing ; but whosoever 
 shall swear by the gift that 
 is upon it, he is a debtor. 
 
 17 Ye blind: for whether 
 is greater, the gift, or the 
 altar that santifieth the gift? 
 
 18 He therefore that 
 sweareth by the altar, 
 sweareth by it, and by all 
 things thereon. 
 
 19 And he that sweareth 
 by the temple, sweareth by 
 it, and by him that dwelleth 
 therein. 
 
 20 And he that sweareth 
 by the heaven, sweareth by 
 the throne of God, and by 
 him that sitteth thereon. 
 
 21 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites! 
 for ye tithe mint and anise 
 and cummin, and have left 
 undone the weightier mat- 
 ters of the law, judgement, 
 and mercy, and faith : but 
 these ye ought to have done, 
 and not to have left the 
 other undone. 
 
 22 Ye blind guides, which 
 strain out the gnat, and 
 swallow the camel. 
 
 23 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye cleanse the outside of 
 the cup and of the platter, 
 but within they are full from 
 extortion and excess. 
 
 24 Thou blind Pharisee, 
 cleanse first the inside of the 
 cup and of the platter, that 
 the outside thereof may be- 
 come clean also. 
 
 25 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye are like unto whited 
 sepulchres, which outwardly 
 
"The Scribes and ihi. rn,\KLsth> Nii wn AUoh.-. ^i.Ai. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 341 
 
 appear beautiful, but in- 
 wardly arc full of dead men's 
 bones, and of all unclean- 
 ness. 
 
 26 Even so ye also out- 
 wardly appear righteous 
 unto men, but inwardly ye 
 are full of hypocrisy and 
 iniquity. 
 
 27 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye build the sepulchres 
 of the prophets, and garnish 
 the tombs of the righteous, 
 
 28 And say. If we had been 
 in the days of our fathers, we 
 should not have been par- 
 takers with them in the blood 
 of the prophets. 
 
 29 Wherefore ye witness 
 to yourselves, that ye are 
 sons of them that slew the 
 prophets. 
 
 30 Fill ye up then the 
 measvire of your fathers. 
 
 31 Ye serpents, ye off- 
 spring of vipers, how shall 
 ye escape the judgement of 
 hell? 
 
 32 Therefore, behold, I 
 send unto you prophets, and 
 wise men, and scribes : some 
 
 of them shall ye kill and 
 crucify; and some of them 
 shall ye scourge in your syn- 
 agogues, and persecute from 
 city to city : 
 
 33 That upon you may 
 come all the righteous blood 
 shed on the earth, from the 
 blood of Abel the righteous 
 unto the blood of Zachariah 
 son of Barachiah, whom ye 
 slew between the sanctuary 
 and the altar. 
 
 34 Verily I say unto you. 
 All these things shall come 
 upon this generation. 
 
 35 O Jerusalem, Jerusa- 
 lem, which killeth the prop- 
 hets, and stoneth them that 
 are sent unto her ! how often 
 would I have gathered thy 
 children together, even as a 
 hen gathereth her chickens 
 under her wings, and ye 
 would not ! 
 
 36 Behold, your house is 
 left unto you desolate. 
 
 37 For I say unto you. Ye 
 shall not see me henceforth, 
 till ye shall sa}'. Blessed is 
 he that cometh in the name 
 of the Lord.

 CHAPTER XLIX. 
 
 THE DOOM OF JERUSALEM. 
 
 AND Jesus went out from 
 the temple, and was 
 going on his way; and his 
 disciples came to him to 
 shew him the buildings of 
 the temple. 
 
 2 But he answered and 
 said unto them, See ye not 
 all these things? verily I say 
 unto you, There shall not be 
 left here one stone upon 
 another, that shall not be 
 thrown down. 
 
 3 And as he sat on the 
 mount of Olives, the disci- 
 ples came unto him pri- 
 vately, saying, Tell us, when 
 shall these things be? and 
 what shall be the sign of thy 
 coming, and of the end of 
 the world? 
 
 4 And Jesus answered and 
 said tmto them. Take heed 
 that no man lead you astray. 
 
 5 For many shall come in 
 my name, saying, I am the 
 Christ ; and shall lead many 
 astray. 
 
 6 The time is at hand : go 
 ye not after them. 
 
 7 And when ye shall hear 
 of wars and tumults, be not 
 terrified : for these things 
 must needs come to pass 
 first ; but the end is not im- 
 mediately. 
 
 8 For nation shall rise 
 against nation, and kingdom 
 against kingdom : 
 
 9 And there shall be great 
 earthquakes, and in divers 
 places famines and pesti- 
 lences; and there shall be 
 terrors and great signs from 
 heaven. 
 
 10 But all these things 
 are the beginning of travail. 
 
 1 1 But take ye heed to 
 yourselves: for they shall 
 deliver you up to councils ; 
 and in synagogues shall ye 
 be beaten ; 
 
 12 And before governors 
 and kings shall ye stand for 
 my sake, for a testimony un- 
 to them. 
 
 13 Ye shall be delivered 
 up even b y parents, and 
 brethren, and kinsfolk, and 
 friends; and some of you 
 shall they cause to be put to 
 death. 
 
Jesus' Farewell to His Mother. 
 
14 And ye shall be hated 
 of all men for my name's 
 sake. 
 
 1 5 But not a hair of your 
 head shall perish. 
 
 1 6 In your patience ye 
 shall win your souls. 
 
 17 And when they lead 
 you to judgement, and de- 
 liver you up, be not anxious 
 beforehand what ye shall 
 speak : but whatsoever shall 
 be given you in that hour, 
 that speak ye : for it is not 
 ye that speak, but the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 18 Settle it therefore in 
 your hearts, not to meditate 
 beforehand how to answer : 
 
 19 For I will give you a 
 mouth and wisdom, which 
 all your adversaries shall not 
 be able to withstand or to 
 gainsay. 
 
 20 And then shall many 
 stumble, and shall deliver up 
 one another, and shall hate 
 one another. 
 
 21 And many false pro- 
 phets shall arise, and shall 
 lead many astray. 
 
 22 And because iniquity 
 
 OF OUR RISEN LORD. 345 
 
 shall be multiplied, the love 
 of the many shall wax cold. 
 
 23 But he that endureth to 
 the end, the same shall be 
 saved. 
 
 24 And this gospel of the 
 kingdom shall be preached 
 in the whole world for a tes- 
 timony unto all the nations ; 
 and then shall the end come. 
 
 25 When therefore ye see 
 the abomination of desola- 
 tion, which was spoken of by 
 Daniel the prophet, standing 
 in the holy place (let him 
 that readeth understand), 
 
 26 When 5^e see Jerusalem 
 compassed with armies, then 
 know that her desolation is 
 at hand. 
 
 27 Then let them that are 
 in Judasa flee unto the 
 motmtains : 
 
 28 And let them that are 
 in the midst of her depart 
 out; and let not them that 
 are in the country enter 
 therein. 
 
 '29 Let him that is on the 
 housetop not go down to take 
 out the things that are in his 
 house : 
 
346 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 30 And let him that is in 
 the field not return back to 
 take nis cloke. 
 
 31 For these are days of 
 vengeance, that all things 
 which are written may be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 32 Woe unto them that are 
 with child and to them that 
 give suck in those days ! for 
 there shall be great distress 
 upon the land, and wrath un- 
 to this people. 
 
 33 And they shall fall by 
 the edge of the sword, and 
 shall be led captive into all 
 the nations: and Jerusalem 
 shall be trodden down of the 
 Gentiles, until the times of 
 the Gentiles be fulfilled. 
 
 34 And pray ye that it be 
 not in the winter. 
 
 35 For those days shall be 
 tribulation, such as there 
 hath not been the like from 
 the beginning of the creation 
 which God created until 
 now, and never shall be. 
 
 36 And except the Lord 
 had shortened the days, no 
 flesh would have been saved : 
 but for the elect's sake, 
 
 whom he chose, he shortened 
 the days. 
 
 37 And then if any man 
 shall say imto you, Lo, here 
 is the Christ; or, Lo, there; 
 
 38 Believe it not: for 
 there shall arise false Christs 
 and false prophets, and shall 
 shew signs and wonders, that 
 they may lead astray, if pos- 
 sible, the elect. 
 
 39 Behold, I have told 
 you all things beforehand. 
 
 40 If therefore they shall 
 say unto you. Behold, he is 
 in the wilderness; go not 
 forth : Behold, he is in the 
 inner chambers; believe it 
 not. 
 
 41 For as the lightning 
 Cometh forth from the east, 
 and is seen even unto the 
 west ; so shall be the coming 
 of the Son of man. 
 
 42 Wheresoever the car- 
 case is, there will the eagles 
 be gathered together. 
 
 CHAPTER L. 
 
 TMMEDIATELY, after the 
 ^ tribulation of those days, 
 the sun shall be darkened. 
 
i 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 349 
 
 and the moon shall not give 
 her light, and the stars shall 
 fall from heaven, and the 
 powers of the heavens shall 
 be shaken : 
 
 2 And upon the earth dis- 
 tress of nations, in perplex- 
 ity for the roaring of the sea 
 and the billows ; 
 
 3 Men fainting for fear, 
 and for expectation of the 
 things which are coming on 
 the world: for the powers of 
 the heavens shall be shaken. 
 
 4 And then shall appear 
 the sign of the Son of man 
 in heaven : and then shall 
 all the tribes of the earth 
 mourn, and they shall see the 
 Son of man coming on the 
 clouds of heaven with power 
 and great glory. 
 
 5 And he shall send forth 
 his angels with a great sound 
 of a trumpet, and they 
 shall gather together his 
 elect from the four winds, 
 from one end of heaven to 
 the other. 
 
 6 From the uttermost part 
 of the earth to the uttermost 
 part of heaven. 
 
 7 But when these things 
 begin to come to pass, look 
 up, and lift up your heads ; 
 because your redemption 
 draweth nigh. 
 
 8 And he spake to them a 
 parable : Behold the fig tree, 
 and all the trees : 
 
 9 When they now shoot 
 forth, ye see it and know of 
 your own selves that the 
 summer is now nigh. 
 
 10 Even so ye also, when 
 ye see these things coming 
 to pass, know ye that the 
 kingdom of God is nigh, even 
 at the doors. 
 
 11 Verily I say unto you, 
 This generation shall not 
 pass away, until all these 
 things be accomplished. 
 
 12 Heaven and earth 
 shall pass away : but my 
 words shall not pass away. 
 
 13 But take heed to your- 
 selves, lest haply your hearts 
 be overcharged with surfeit- 
 ing, and drunkenness, and 
 cares 'of this life, and that 
 day come on you suddenly 
 as a snare. 
 
 14 For so shall it come 
 
350 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 upon all them that dwell on 
 the face of all the earth. 
 
 1 5 But watch ye at every 
 season, making supplication, 
 that ye may prevail to escape 
 all these things that shall 
 come to pass, and to stand 
 •before the Son of man. 
 
 1 6 But of that day or that 
 hour knoweth no one, not 
 even the angels in heaven, 
 neither the Son, but the 
 Father. 
 
 1 7 And as were the days of 
 Noah, so shall be the coming 
 of the Son of man. 
 
 1 8 For as in those days 
 which were before the flood 
 they were eating and drink- 
 ing, marrying and giving 
 in marriage, until the day 
 that Noah entered into the 
 ark, 
 
 19 And they knew not 
 until the flood came, and 
 took them all away ; so shall 
 be the coming of the Son of 
 man. 
 
 20 Then shall two men be 
 in the field; one is taken, 
 and one is left : 
 
 21 Two women shall be 
 
 grinding at the mill ; one is 
 taken, and one is left. 
 
 22 Take ye heed, watch 
 and pray ; for ye know not 
 when the time is. 
 
 23 // is as when a man, so- 
 journing in another country, 
 having left his house, and 
 given authority to his ser- 
 vants, to each one his work, 
 commanded also the porter 
 to watch. 
 
 24 Who then is the faithful 
 and wise servant, whom his 
 lord hath set over his house- 
 hold, to give them their food 
 in due season? 
 
 25 Blessed is that servant, 
 whom his lord when he com- 
 eth shall find so doing. 
 
 26 Verily I say unto you 
 that he will set him over all 
 that he hath. 
 
 27 But if that evil servant 
 shall say in his heart, My 
 lord tarrieth ; 
 
 28 And shall begin to beat 
 his fellow-servants, and shall 
 eat and drink with the 
 drunken ; 
 
 29 The lord of that servant 
 shall come in a day when he 
 
knssED IS THAT Servant, whom his Lord, when He Cometh Shall Find so Doing." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 353 
 
 expecteth not, and in an 
 hour when he knoweth not, 
 
 30 And shall cut him 
 asunder, and appoint his 
 portion with the hypocrites : 
 there shall be the weeping 
 and gnashing of teeth, 
 
 31 Watch therefore: for 
 ye know not when the lord 
 of the house cometh, 
 whether at even, or at mid- 
 night, or at cockcrowing, or 
 in the morning ; 
 
 32 Lest coming suddenly 
 he find you sleeping. 
 
 33 And what I say unto 
 you I say unto all, Watch. 
 
 CHAPTER LI. 
 
 THE TEN VIRGINS, 
 
 THEN shall the kingdom 
 of heaven be likened 
 unto ten virgins, which took 
 their lamps, and went forth 
 to meet the bridegroom. 
 
 2 And five of them were 
 foolish, and five were wise. 
 
 3 For the foolish, when 
 they took their lamps, took 
 no oil with them : 
 
 4 But the wise took oil in 
 
 their vessels with their 
 lamps. 
 
 5 Now while the bride- 
 groom tarried, they all 
 slumbered and slept. 
 
 6 But at midnight there 
 is a cry, Behold, the bride- 
 groom! Come ye forth to 
 meet him. 
 
 7 Then all those virgins 
 arose, and trimmed their 
 lamps. 
 
 8 And the foolish said im- 
 to the wise. Give us of your 
 oil ; for our lamps are going 
 out. 
 
 9 But the wise answered, 
 saying, Peradventure there 
 will not be enough for us and 
 you : go ye rather to them 
 that sell, and buy for your- 
 selves. 
 
 10 And while they went 
 away to buy, the bridegroom 
 came; and they that were 
 ready went in with him to 
 the marriage feast: and the 
 door was shut. 
 
 1 1 Afterward come also 
 the other virgins, saying. 
 Lord, Lord, open to us. 
 
 12 But he answered and 
 
354 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 said, Verily I say unto you, 
 I know you not. 
 
 13 Watch therefore, for ye 
 know not the day nor the 
 hour, 
 
 USED AND MISUSED TALENTS. 
 
 14 For // is as 7uhen a man, 
 going into another country, 
 called his own servants, and 
 delivered unto them his 
 goods. 
 
 1 5 And unto one he gave 
 five talents, to another two, 
 to another one ; to each ac- 
 cording to his several abil- 
 ity; and he went on his 
 journey. 
 
 1 6 Straightway he that re- 
 ceived the five talents went 
 and traded with them, and 
 made other five talents. 
 
 17 In like manner he also 
 that received the two gained 
 other two. 
 
 18 But he that received 
 the one went away and 
 digged in the earth, and 
 hid his lord's money. 
 
 19 Now after a long time 
 the lord of those servants 
 Cometh, and maketh a reck- 
 oning with them. 
 
 20 And he that received 
 the five talents came and 
 brought other five talents, 
 saying, Lord, thou deliv- 
 eredst unto me five talents : 
 lo, I have gained other five 
 talents. 
 
 2 1 His lord said unto him. 
 Well done, good and faithful 
 servant : t h o u hast been 
 faithful over a few things, I 
 will set thee over many 
 things : enter thou into the 
 joy of thy lord. 
 
 22 And he also that re- 
 ceived the two talents came 
 and said. Lord, thou deliv- 
 eredst unto me two talents : 
 lo, I have gained other two 
 talents. 
 
 23 His lord said unto him. 
 Well done, good and faith- 
 ful servant ; thou hast been 
 faithful over a few things, I 
 will set thee over many 
 things: enter thou into the 
 joy of thy lord. 
 
 24 And he also that had 
 received the one talent came 
 and said, Lord, I knew thee 
 that thou art a hard man, 
 reaping where thou didst not 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 357 
 
 sow, and gathering where 
 thou didst not scatter : 
 
 25 And I was afraid, and 
 went away and hid thy talent 
 in the earth: lo, thou hast 
 thine own. 
 
 26 But his lord answered 
 and said unto him. Thou 
 wicked and slothful servant, 
 thou knewest that I reap 
 where I sowed not, and 
 gather where I did not 
 scatter ; 
 
 27 Thou oughtest there- 
 fore to have put my money 
 to the bankers, and at my 
 coming I shotild have re- 
 ceived back mine own with 
 interest. 
 
 28 Take ye away therefore 
 the talent from him, and give 
 it unto him that hath the ten 
 talents. 
 
 29 For unto every one that 
 hath shall be given, and he 
 shall have abundance : but 
 from him that hath not, even 
 that which he hath shall be 
 taken away. 
 
 30 And cast ye out the 
 unprofitable servant into the 
 outer darkness: there shall 
 
 be the weeping and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 31 But when the Son of 
 man shall come in his glory, 
 and all the angels with him, 
 then shall he sit on the 
 throne of his glory : 
 
 32 And before him shall 
 be gathered all the nations : 
 and he shall separate them 
 one from another, as the 
 shepherd separateth the 
 sheep from the goats : 
 
 33 And he shall set the 
 sheep on his right hand, but 
 the goats on the left. 
 
 34 Then shall the King 
 say unto them on his right 
 hand, Come, ye blessed of 
 my Father, inherit the king- 
 dom prepared for you from 
 the foundation of the world: 
 
 35 For I was an hungred, 
 and ye gave me meat : I was 
 thirsty, and ye gave me 
 drink : I was a stranger, and 
 ye took me in ; 
 
 36 Naked, and ye clothed 
 me :' I was sick, and ye vis- 
 ited me : I was in prison, and 
 ye came unto me. 
 
 27 Then shall the right- 
 
358 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 eoits answer him, saying, 
 Lord, when saw we thee an 
 htingred, and fed thee? or 
 athirst, and gave thee drink? 
 
 38 And when saw we thee 
 a stranger, and took thee in? 
 or naked, and clothed thee? 
 
 39 And when saw we thee 
 sick, or in prison, and came 
 mito thee? 
 
 40 And the King shall an- 
 swer and say unto them. 
 Verily I say unto you, Inas- 
 much as ye did it unto one 
 of these my brethren, even 
 these least, ye did it imto 
 me. 
 
 41 Then shall he say also 
 unto them on the left hand, 
 Depart from me, ye cursed, 
 into the eternal fire which is 
 prepared for the devil and 
 his angels : 
 
 42 For I was an hungred, 
 and ye gave me no meat: I 
 was thirsty, and ye gave me 
 no drink : 
 
 43 I was a stranger, and ye 
 took me not in ; naked, and 
 ye clothed me not; sick, and 
 in prison, and ye visited me 
 not. 
 
 44 Then shall they also 
 answer, saying. Lord, when 
 saw we thee an hungred, or 
 athirst, or a stranger, or 
 naked, or sick, or in prison, 
 and did not minister unto 
 thee? 
 
 45 Then shall he answer 
 them, saying, Verily I say 
 unto you. Inasmuch as ye 
 did it not unto one of these 
 least, ye did it not unto me. 
 
 46 And these shall go 
 away into eternal punish- 
 ment : but the righteous into 
 eternal life. 
 
 CHAPTER LII. 
 
 April 6, A. D. 30. 
 
 A ND it came to pass, 
 -^*- when Jesus had finished 
 all these words, he said unto 
 his disciples, 
 
 2 Ye know that after two 
 days the passover cometh, 
 and the Son of man is de- 
 livered up to be crucified. 
 
 3 Then were gathered to- 
 gether the chief priests, and 
 the elders of the people, unto 
 the court of the high priest, 
 who was called Caiaphas ; 
 
 4 And they took counsel 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 361 
 
 together that they might 
 take Jesus by subtilty, and 
 kill him. 
 
 5 But they said, Not dur- 
 ing the feast, lest a tumult 
 arise among the people ; for 
 they feared the people. 
 
 6 And Satan entered into 
 Judas who was called Is- 
 cariot, being of the number 
 of the twelve. 
 
 7 And he went away, and 
 communed with the chief 
 priests and captains, how 
 he might deliver him unto 
 them, 
 
 8 And said. What are ye 
 willing to give me, and I will 
 deliver him unto you? 
 
 9 And they were glad, and 
 covenanted to give him 
 money. 
 
 10 And they weighed unto 
 him thirty pieces of silver. 
 
 1 1 And from that time he 
 sought opportunity to de- 
 liver him unto t/ic/ii, in the 
 absence of the multitude. 
 
 THE lord's supper. 
 
 1 2 Now on the first day of 
 unleavened bread the disci- 
 ples came to Jesus, saying, 
 
 Where wilt thou that we 
 make ready for thee to eat 
 the passover? 
 
 13 And he sent Peter and 
 John, saying. Go and make 
 ready for us the passover, 
 that we may eat. 
 
 14 And they said unto 
 him. Where wilt thou that 
 we make ready? 
 
 1 5 And he said unto them. 
 Behold, when ye are entered 
 into the city, there shall 
 meet you a man bearing a 
 pitcher of water ; follow him 
 into the house whereinto he 
 goeth. 
 
 16 And ye shall say unto 
 the goodman of the house. 
 The Master saith tmto thee, 
 
 17 My time is at hand, I 
 keep the passover at thy 
 house. 
 
 18 Where is the guest- 
 chamber, where I shall eat 
 the passover with my disci- 
 ples? 
 
 19 And he will shew you 
 a large upper room fur- 
 nished : there make ready. 
 
 20 And they went, and 
 found as he had said unto 
 
363 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 them : and they made ready 
 the passover. 
 
 WASHING HIS disciples' 
 FEET. 
 
 21 Now before the feast of 
 the passover, Jesus knowing 
 that his hour was come that 
 he should depart out of this 
 world unto the Father, hav- 
 ing loved his own which 
 were in the world, he loved 
 them unto the end. 
 
 2 2 And when the hour was 
 come, he sat down, and the 
 apostles with him. 
 
 23 And he said unto them, 
 With desire I have desired 
 to eat this passover with you 
 before I suffer : 
 
 24 For I say unto you, I 
 will not eat it, until it be ful- 
 filled in the kingdom of God. 
 
 25 And he received a cup, 
 and when he had given 
 thanks, he said, Take this, 
 and divide it among your- 
 selves : 
 
 26 For I say unto you, I 
 will not drink from hence- 
 forth of the fruit of the vine, 
 until the kingdom of God 
 shall come. 
 
 27 And there arose also a 
 contention among them, 
 which of them is accounted 
 to be greatest. 
 
 28 And he said unto them, 
 the kings of the Gentiles 
 have lordship over them; 
 and they that have authority 
 over them are called Bene- 
 factors. 
 
 29 But ye shall not be so : 
 but he that is the greater 
 among you, let him become 
 as the younger; and he that 
 is chief, as he that doth serve. 
 
 30 P'^or whether is greater, 
 he thatsitteth at meat, or he 
 that serveth? is not he that 
 sitteth at meat? but I am in 
 the midst of you as he that 
 serveth. 
 
 31 But ye are they which 
 have continued with me in 
 my temptations ; 
 
 32 And I appoint unto you 
 a kingdom, even as my 
 Father appointed unto me, 
 
 33 That ye may eat and 
 drink at my table in my 
 kingdom ; and ye shall sit on 
 thrones judging the twelve 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
H 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 365 
 
 34 And during supper, the 
 devil having already put into 
 the heart of Judas Iscariot, 
 Simon's son, to betray him, 
 
 35 y'd'jv/' J", knowing that the 
 Father had given all things 
 into his hands, and that he 
 came forth from God, and 
 goeth unto God, riseth from 
 supper, 
 
 36 And layeth aside his 
 garments; and he took a 
 towel, and girded himself. 
 
 37 Then he potireth water 
 into the bason, and began to 
 wash the disciples' feet, and 
 to wipe them with the towel 
 wherewith he was girded. 
 
 38 So he cometh to Simon 
 Peter. He saith unto him. 
 Lord, dost thou wash my 
 feet? 
 
 39 Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, What I do 
 thou knowest not now ; but 
 thou shalt understand here- 
 after. 
 
 40 Peter saith unto him. 
 Thou shalt never wash my 
 feet. Jesus answered him, 
 If I wash thee not, thou hast 
 no part with me. 
 
 41 Simon Peter saith unto 
 him, Lord, not my feet only, 
 but also my hands and my 
 head. 
 
 42 Jesus saith to him. He 
 that is bathed needeth not 
 save to wash his feet, but 
 is clean every whit : and ye 
 are clean, but not all. 
 
 43 For he knew him that 
 should betray him; there- 
 fore said he, Ye are not all 
 clean. 
 
 44 So when he had washed 
 their feet, and taken his 
 garments, and sat down 
 again, he said unto them, 
 Know ye what I have done 
 to you? 
 
 45 Ye call me. Master, 
 and, Lord : and ye say well ; 
 for so I am. 
 
 46 If I then, the Lord and 
 the Master, have washed 
 your feet, ye also ought to 
 wash one another's feet. 
 
 47 For I have given you 
 an example, that ye also 
 should do as I have done to 
 you. 
 
 48 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, A servant is not 
 
THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 greater than his lord ; neither 
 one that is sent greater than 
 he that sent him. 
 
 49 If ye know these things, 
 blessed are ye if ye do them. 
 
 50 I speak not of you all : 
 I know whom I have chosen : 
 but that the scripture may 
 be fulfilled, He that eateth 
 my bread lifted up his heel 
 against me. 
 
 5 1 P'rom henceforth I tell 
 you before it come to pass, 
 that, when it is come to pass, 
 ye may believe that I am he. 
 
 52 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, He that receiv- 
 eth whomsoever I send re- 
 ceiveth me ; and he that 
 receiveth me receiveth him 
 that sent me. 
 
 JUDAS. 
 
 53 When Jesus had thus 
 said, he was troubled in the 
 spirit, and testified, and said. 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, that one of you shall 
 betray me. 
 
 54 Behold, the hand of 
 him that betrayeth me is 
 with me on the table. 
 
 55 And they began to 
 
 question among themselves 
 which of them it was that 
 should do this thing. 
 
 56 And they were exceed- 
 ing sorrowful, and began to 
 say unto him every one, Is 
 it I, Lord.> 
 
 57 And he answered and 
 said. He that dipped his 
 hand with me in the dish, 
 the same shall betray me. 
 
 58 The Son of man goeth, 
 even as it is written of him : 
 but woe unto that man 
 through whom the Son of 
 man is betrayed ! good were 
 it for that man if he had not 
 been born. 
 
 59 The disciples looked 
 one on another, doubting of 
 whom he spake. 
 
 60 There was at the table 
 reclining in Jesus' bosom 
 one of his disciples, whom 
 Jesus loved. 
 
 61 Simon Peter therefore 
 beckoneth to him, and saith 
 unto him. Tell us who is it 
 of whom he speaketh. 
 
 62 He leaning back, as he 
 was. on Jesus' breast saith 
 unto him. Lord, who is it.-* 
 
"ill-: I 'isc-.iii.i; wh.jm Jksl's I.omh. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 369 
 
 63 Jesus therefore an- 
 swereth, He it is, for whom 
 I shall dip the sop, and give 
 it him. So when he had 
 dipped the sop, he taketh and 
 giveth it to Judas. tJic son of 
 Simon Iscariot. 
 
 64 And Judas, which be- 
 trayed him, answered and 
 said. Is it I, Rabbi? Hesaith 
 unto him, Thou hast said. 
 
 65 And after the sop, then 
 entered Satan into him. 
 Jesus therefore saith unto 
 him, That thou doest, do 
 quickly. 
 
 66 Now no man at the 
 table knew for what intent 
 he spake this unto him. 
 
 67 For some thought, be- 
 cause Judas had the bag, 
 that Jesus said ttnto him. 
 Buy what things we have 
 need of for the feast; or 
 that he should give some 
 thing to the poor. 
 
 68 He then having re- 
 ceived the sop went out 
 straightway: and it was 
 night. 
 
 69 When therefore he was 
 gone out, Jesus saith. Now 
 
 is the Son of man glorified, 
 and God is glorified in him ; 
 
 70 And God shall glorify 
 him in himself, and straight- 
 way shall he glorify him. 
 
 71 Little children, yet a 
 little while I am with you. 
 Ye shall seek me : and as I 
 said unto the Jews, Whither 
 I go, ye cannot come ; so 
 now I say unto you. 
 
 72 A new commandment 
 I give unto you, that ye love 
 one another ; even as I have 
 loved you, that ye also love 
 one another. 
 
 73 By this shall all men 
 know that ye are my disci- 
 ples, if ye have love one to 
 another. 
 
 74 Simon Peter saith unto 
 him. Lord, whither goest 
 thou? Jesus answered. Whi- 
 ther I go, thou canst not 
 follow me now; but thou 
 shalt follow afterwards. 
 
 75 Peter saith unto him. 
 Lord, why cannot I follow 
 thee even now? I will lay 
 down my life for thee. 
 
 76 Jesus answereth. Wilt 
 thou lay down thy life for 
 
370 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 me? Verily, verily, I say 
 unto thee. The cock shall 
 not crow, till thou hast de- 
 nied me thrice. 
 
 'J'] And as they were eat- 
 ing. Jesus took bread, and 
 blessed, and brake it ; and he 
 gave to his disciples, and 
 said, Take, eat; this is my 
 body. This do in remem- 
 brance of me. 
 
 78 And he took a cup, and 
 gave thanks, and gave to 
 them, saying. Drink ye all of 
 it ; and they all drank of it. 
 
 79 And he said unto them. 
 This is my blood of the 
 covenant, which is shed for 
 many, unto remission of 
 sins. 
 
 80 But I say unto you, I 
 will not drink henceforth of 
 this fruit of the vine, until 
 that day when I drink it new 
 with you in my Father's 
 kingdom. 
 
 CHAPTER LIII. 
 
 THE FAREWELL. 
 
 LET not your heart be 
 troubled : ye believe in 
 God, believe also in me. 
 
 2 In my Father's house 
 are many mansions; if it 
 were not so, I would have 
 told you ; for I go to prepare 
 a place for you. 
 
 3 And if I go and prepare 
 a place for you, I come 
 again, and will receive you 
 unto myself; that where I 
 am, there ye may be also. 
 
 4 And whither I go, ye 
 know the way. 
 
 5 Thomas saith unto him, 
 Lord, we know not whither 
 thou goest; how know we 
 the way? 
 
 6 Jesus saith unto him, I 
 am the way, and the truth, 
 and the life : no one cometh 
 unto the Father, but by me. 
 
 7 If ye had known me, 
 ye would have known my 
 Father also: from hence- 
 forth ye know him, and have 
 seen him. 
 
 8 Philip saith unto him. 
 Lord, shew us the Father, 
 and it sufficeth us. 
 
 9 Jesus saith unto him, 
 Have I been so long time 
 with you, and dost thou not 
 know me, Philip ? he that 
 
Judas Leaving the Supper Room. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 373 
 
 hath seen me h-.ith seen the 
 Father: how sayest thou, 
 Shew us the Father? 
 
 10 Believest thou not that 
 I am in the Father, and the 
 Father in me? the words 
 that I say unto you I speak 
 not from myself: but the 
 Father abiding in me doeth 
 his works. 
 
 1 1 Believe me that I am in 
 the Father, and the. Father 
 in me : or else believe me 
 for the very works' sake. 
 
 12 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you. He that believeth 
 on me, the works that I do 
 shall he do also ; and greater 
 uwrJzs than these shall he 
 do; because I go unto the 
 Father. 
 
 13 And whatsoever ye 
 shall ask in my name, that 
 will I do, that the Father 
 may be glorified in the Son. 
 
 14 If ye shall ask me any- 
 thing in my name, that will 
 I do. 
 
 1 5 If ye love me, ye will 
 keep my commandments. 
 
 16 And I will pray the 
 Father, and he shall give 
 
 you another Comforter, that 
 he may be with you forever, 
 
 1 7 Even the Spirit of truth : 
 whom the world cannot re- 
 ceive ; for it beholdeth him 
 not, neither knoweth him: 
 ye know him ; for he abideth 
 with you, and shall be in 
 you. 
 
 18 I will not leave you 
 desolate : 
 
 19 I come unto you. Yet 
 a little while, and the world 
 beholdeth me no more ; but 
 ye behold me : because I 
 live ye shall live also. 
 
 20 In that day ye shall 
 know that I am in my 
 Father, and ye in me, and I 
 in you. 
 
 21 He that hath my com- 
 mandments, and keepeth 
 them, he it is that loveth me : 
 and he that loveth me shall 
 be loved of my Father, and I 
 will love him, and will mani- 
 fest myself unto him. 
 
 22 Judas (not Iscariot) 
 saith unto him, Lord, what 
 is come to pass that thou 
 wilt manifest thyself unto 
 
 • us, and not unto the world? 
 
374 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 23 Jesus answered and 
 said tinto him, If a man love 
 me, he will keep my word; 
 and my Father will love him, 
 and we will come unto him, 
 and make our abode with 
 him. 
 
 24 He that loveth me not 
 keepeth not my words: and 
 the word which ye hear is 
 not mine, but the Father's 
 who sent me. 
 
 25 These things have I 
 spoken unto you, while yet 
 abiding with you. 
 
 26 But the Comforter, even 
 the Holy Spirit, whom the 
 Father will send in my name, 
 he shall teach you all things, 
 and bring to your remem- 
 brance all that I said unto 
 you. 
 
 27 Peace I leave with you ; 
 my peace I give unto you : 
 not as the world giveth, give 
 I unto you. Let not your 
 heart be troubled, neither let 
 it be fearful. 
 
 28 Ye heard how I said to 
 you, I go away, and I come 
 unto you. If ye loved me, 
 ye would have rejoiced, be- 
 
 cause I go unto the Father : 
 for the Father is greater 
 than I. 
 
 29 And now I have told 
 you before it come to pass, 
 that, when it is come to pass, 
 ye may believe. 
 
 30 I will no more speak 
 much with you, for the 
 prince of the world cometh : 
 
 31 And he hath nothing 
 in me; but that the world 
 may know that I love the 
 Father, and as the Father 
 gave m e commandment, 
 even so I do. Arise, let us 
 go hence. 
 
 CHAPTER LIV. 
 
 T AM the true vine, and my 
 -*- Father is the husband- 
 man. 
 
 2 Every branch in me that 
 beareth not fruit, he taketh it 
 away : and every branch that 
 beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, 
 that it TTiay bear more fruit. 
 
 3 Already ye are clean be- 
 cause of the word which I 
 have spoken unto you. 
 
 4 Abide in me, and I in 
 you. As the branch cannot 
 
This is My Blood of the Covenant which is Shed for Many.'' 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 377 
 
 bear fruit of itself, except it 
 abide in the vine ; so neither 
 can ye, except ye abide in 
 me. 
 
 5 I am the vine, ye are the 
 branches- He that abideth 
 in me, and I in him, the same 
 beareth much fruit : for apart 
 from me ye can do nothing. 
 
 6 If a man abide not in 
 me, he is cast forth as a 
 branch, and is withered ; and 
 they gather them, and cast 
 them into the fire, and they 
 are burned. 
 
 7 If ye abide in me, and 
 my words abide in you, 
 ask whatsoever ye will, and 
 it shall be done unto you. 
 
 8 Herein is my Father 
 glorified, that ye bear much 
 fruit ; and so shall ye be my 
 disciples. 
 
 9 Even as the Father hath 
 loved me, I also have loved 
 you : abide ye in my love. 
 
 ID If ye keep my com- 
 mandments, ye shall abide 
 in my love ; even as I have 
 kept my Father's command- 
 ments, and abide in his love. 
 
 II These things have I 
 
 spoken unto you, that my 
 joy may be in you, and that 
 your joy may be fulfilled. 
 
 12 This is my command- 
 ment, that ye love one an- 
 other, even as I have loved 
 you. 
 
 13 Greater love hath no 
 man than this, that a man 
 lay down his life for his 
 friends. 
 
 14 Ye are my friends, if 
 ye do the things which I 
 command you. 
 
 15 No longer do I call 
 you servants ; for the servant 
 knoweth not what his lord 
 doeth : but I have called j^ou 
 friends; for all things that 
 I heard from my Father I 
 have made known imto you. 
 
 16 Ye did not choose me, 
 but I chose you, and ap- 
 pointed you, that ye should 
 go and bear fruit, and that 
 your fruit should abide : that 
 whatsoever ye shall ask of 
 the pather in my name, he 
 may give it you. 
 
 17 These things I com- 
 mand you, that ye may love 
 one another.

 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 1 8 If the world hateth you, 
 ye know that it hath hated 
 me before // hated you. 
 
 19 If ye were of the world, 
 the world would love its 
 own : but because ye are not 
 of the world, but I chose 
 you out of the world, there- 
 fore the world hateth you. 
 
 20 Remember the word 
 that I said unto you, A ser- 
 vant is not greater than his 
 lord. If they persecuted 
 me, they will also persecute 
 you ; if they kept my word, 
 they will keep yours also. 
 
 2 1 But all these things will 
 they do unto you for my 
 name's sake, because they 
 know not him that sent me. 
 
 22 If I had not come and 
 spoken unto them, they had 
 not had sin : but now they 
 have no excuse for their sin. 
 
 23 He that hateth me 
 hateth my Father also. 
 
 24 If I had not done 
 among them the works 
 which none other did, they 
 had not had sin: but now 
 have they both seen and hated 
 both me and my Father. 
 
 25 But this Cometh to pass, 
 that the word may be ful- 
 filled that is written in their 
 law. They hated me without 
 a cause. 
 
 26 But when the Com- 
 forter is come, whom I will 
 send unto you from the 
 Father, even the Spirit of 
 truth, which proceedeth 
 from the Father, he shall 
 bear witness of me : 
 
 27 And ye also bear wit- 
 ness, because ye have been 
 with me from the beginning. 
 
 CHAPTER LV. 
 
 ^HESE things have I 
 *- spoken unto you, that 
 ye should not be made to 
 stumble. 
 
 2 They shall put you out 
 of the synagogues : yea, the 
 hour cometh, that whosoever 
 killeth you shall think that 
 he offereth service unto God. 
 
 3 And these things will 
 they do, because they have 
 not known the Father, nor 
 me. 
 
 4 But these things have I 
 spoken unto you, that when 
 
u 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 381 
 
 their hour is come, ye may 
 remember them, how that I 
 told you. And these things 
 I said not unto you from 
 the beginning, because I was 
 with you. 
 
 5 But now I go unto him 
 that sent me ; and none of 
 you asketh me. Whither 
 goest thou? 
 
 6 But because I have 
 spoken these things unto 
 you, sorrow hath filled your 
 heart. 
 
 7 Nevertheless I tell you 
 the truth ; it is expedient for 
 you that I go away : for if I 
 go not away, the Comforter 
 will not come unto you ; but 
 if I go, I will send him unto 
 you. 
 
 8 And he, when he is 
 come, will convict the world 
 in respect of sin, and of 
 righteousness, and of judge- 
 ment : 
 
 9 Of sin, because they be- 
 lieve not on me ; 
 
 ID Of righteousness, be- 
 cause I go to the Father, and 
 ye behold me no more ; 
 
 1 1 Of judgement, because 
 
 the prince of this world hath 
 been judged. 
 
 1 2 I have yet many things 
 to say unto you, but ye can- 
 not bear them now. 
 
 13 Howbeit when he, the 
 Spirit of truth, is come, he 
 shall guide you into all the 
 truth ; for he shall not speak 
 from himself; but what 
 things soever he shall hear, 
 these shall he speak: and he 
 shall declare unto you the 
 things that are to come. 
 
 14 He shall glorify me: 
 for he shall take of mine, 
 and shall declare // unto you. 
 
 15 All things whatsoever 
 the Father hath are mine : 
 therefore said I, that he 
 taketh of mine, and shall de- 
 clare // unto you. 
 
 16 A little while, and ye 
 behold me no more; and 
 again a little while, and ye 
 shall see me. 
 
 17 Some of his disciples 
 therefore said one to an- 
 other. What is this that he 
 saith unto us, A little while, 
 and ye behold me not ; and 
 again a little while, and ye 
 
THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 shall see me : and, Because I 
 go to the Father? 
 
 1 8 They said therefore, 
 What is this that he saith, 
 A little while? We know not 
 what he saith. 
 
 19 Jesus perceived that 
 they were desirous to ask 
 him, and he said unto them, 
 Do ye inquire among your- 
 selves concerning this, that 
 I said, A little while, and ye 
 behold me not, and again a 
 little while, and ye shall see 
 me? 
 
 20 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, that ye shall weep 
 and lament, but the world 
 shall rejoice: ye shall be 
 sorrowful, but your sorrow 
 shall be turned into joy. 
 
 21 A woman when she is 
 in travail hath sorrow, be- 
 cause her hour is come : but 
 when she is delivered of the 
 child, she remembereth no 
 more the anguish, for the 
 joy that a man is born into 
 the world. 
 
 22 And ye therefore now 
 have sorrow : but I will see 
 you again, and your heart 
 
 shall rejoice, and your joy 
 no one taketh away from 
 you. 
 
 23 And in that day ye 
 shall ask me nothing. 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you. If ye shall ask anything 
 of the Father, he will give 
 it you in my name. 
 
 24 Hitherto have ye asked 
 nothing in my name : ask, 
 and ye shall receive, that 
 your joy may be fulfilled. 
 
 25 These things have I 
 spoken unto you in proverbs : 
 the hour cometh, when I 
 shall no more speak tmto 
 you in proverbs, but shall 
 tell you plainly of the 
 Father. 
 
 26 In that day ye shall ask 
 in my name ; and I say not 
 unto you, that I will pray 
 the Father for you ; 
 
 27 For the Father himself 
 loveth you, because ye have 
 loved me, and have believed 
 that I came forth from the 
 Father. 
 
 28 I came out from the 
 Father, and am come into 
 the world : again, I leave the 
 
;£^5^::5;'^j 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 385 
 
 world, and go unto the 
 Father. 
 
 29 His disciples say, Lo, 
 now speakest thou plainly, 
 and speakest no proverb. 
 
 30 Now know we that thou 
 knowest all things, and 
 needest not that any man 
 should ask thee : by this we 
 believe that thoti earnest 
 forth from God. 
 
 31 Jesus answered them. 
 Do ye now believe? 
 
 32 Behold, the hour 
 Cometh, yea, is come, that 
 ye shall be scattered, every 
 man to his own, and shall 
 leave me alone: and yet I 
 am not alone, because the 
 Father is with me. 
 
 33 These things have I 
 spoken vinto you, that in me 
 ye may have peace. In the 
 world ye have tribulation: 
 but be of good cheer; I have 
 overcome the world. 
 
 CHAPTER LVL 
 
 THESE things spake 
 Jesus; and lifting up 
 his eyes to heaven, he said. 
 Father, the hour is come ; 
 
 glorify thy Son, that the Son 
 may glorify thee : 
 
 2 Even as thou gavest him 
 authority over all flesh, that 
 whatsoever thou hast given 
 him, to them he should give 
 eternal life. 
 
 3 And this is life eternal, 
 that they should know thee 
 the only true God, and him 
 whom thou didst send, even 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 I glorified thee on the 
 earth, having accomplished 
 the work which thou hast 
 given me to do. 
 
 5 And now, O Father, 
 glorify thou me with thine 
 own self with the glory 
 which I had with thee before 
 the world was. 
 
 6 I manifested thy name 
 unto the men whom thou 
 gavest me out of the world : 
 thine they were, and thou 
 gavest them to me ; and they 
 have kept thy word. 
 
 7 Now they know that all 
 things whatsoever thou hast 
 given me are from thee : 
 
 8 For the words which 
 thou gavest me I have given 
 
386 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 unto them; and they re- 
 ceived them, and knew of a 
 truth that I came forth from 
 thee, and they believed that 
 thou didst send me. 
 
 9 I pray for them : I pray 
 not for the world, but for 
 those whom thou hast given 
 me ; for they are thine : 
 
 10 And all things that are 
 mine are thine, and thine 
 are mine : and I am glorified 
 in them. 
 
 1 1 And I am no more in 
 the world, and these are in 
 the world, and I come to 
 thee. Holy Father, keep 
 them in thy name which 
 thou hast given me, that they 
 may be one, even as we 
 are. 
 
 12 While I was with them, 
 I kept them in thy name 
 which thou hast given me : 
 and I guarded them, and not 
 one of them perished, but 
 the son of perdition; that 
 the scripture might be ful- 
 filled. 
 
 13 Butnowlcome to thee; 
 and these things I speak in 
 the world, that they may 
 
 have my joy fulfilled in 
 themselves. 
 
 14 I have given them thy 
 word ; and the world hated 
 them, because they are not 
 of the world, even as 1 am 
 not of the world. 
 
 15 I pray not that thou 
 shouldest take them from 
 the world, but that thou 
 shouldest keep them from 
 the evil one. 
 
 16 They are not of the 
 world, even as I am not of 
 the world. 
 
 17 Sanctify them in the 
 truth : thy word is truth. 
 
 18 As thou didst send me 
 into the world, even so sent 
 I them into the world. 
 
 19 And for their sakes I 
 sanctify myself, that they 
 themselves also may be 
 sanctified in truth. 
 
 20 Neither for these only 
 do I pray, but for them also 
 that believe on me through 
 their word; 
 
 21 That they may all be 
 one; even as thou. Father, 
 art in me, and I in thee, that 
 they also may be in us : that 
 
o 
 
 a 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 389 
 
 the world may believe that 
 thou didst send me. 
 
 22 And the glory which 
 thou hast given me I have 
 given unto them ; that they 
 may be one, even as we a!-e 
 one; 
 
 23 I in them, and thou m 
 me, that they may be per- 
 fected into one ; that the 
 world may know that thou 
 didst send me, and lovedst 
 them, even as thou lovedst 
 me. 
 
 24 Father, that which thou 
 hast given me, I will that, 
 where I am, they also may 
 be with me; that they may 
 behold my glory, which thou 
 hast given me : for thou 
 lovedst me before the foun- 
 dation of the world. 
 
 25 O righteous Father, the 
 world knew thee not, but I 
 knew thee ; and these knew 
 that thou didst send me ; 
 
 26 And I made known un- 
 to them thy name, and will 
 make it known; that the 
 love wherewith thou lovedst 
 me may be in them, and I in 
 them. 
 
 CHAPTER LVII. 
 
 WHEN Jesus had spoken 
 these words, 
 And when they had sung a 
 hymn, he went forth with his 
 disciples over the brook Ki- 
 dron, 
 
 2 Then saith Jesus unto 
 them. All ye shall be offend- 
 ed in me this night : for it is 
 written, I will smite the 
 shepherd, and the sheep of 
 the flock shall be scattered 
 abroad. 
 
 3 Btit after I am raised up, 
 I will go before you into 
 Galilee. 
 
 4 But Peter answered and 
 said unto him. If all shall be 
 offended in thee, I will never 
 be offended. 
 
 SATAN SIFTING PETER. 
 
 5 Jesus said unto him, 
 Simon, Simon, behold, Sa- 
 tan asked to have you, that 
 he might sift you as wheat : 
 
 6 But I made supplication 
 for thee, that thy faith fail 
 not : and do thou, when once 
 thou hast turned again, sta- 
 blish thy brethren. 
 
390 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 7 And he said unto him, 
 Lord, with thee I am ready 
 to go both to prison and to 
 death, 
 
 8 And Jesus saith unto 
 him. Verily I say unto thee, 
 that thou to-day, even this 
 night, before the cock crow 
 twice, shalt deny me thrice. 
 
 9 But he spake exceeding 
 vehemently. If I must die 
 with thee, I will not deny 
 thee. And in like manner 
 also said they all. 
 
 10 And he said unto them, 
 When I sent you forth with- 
 out purse, and wallet, and 
 shoes, lacked ye anything? 
 
 1 1 And they said. Noth- 
 ing. And he said unto 
 them. But now, he that hath 
 a purse, let him take it, and 
 likewise a wallet: and he 
 that hath none, let hira sell 
 his cloke, and buy a sword. 
 
 12 For I say unto you, 
 that this which is written 
 must be fulfilled in me. And 
 he was reckoned with trans- 
 gressors : for that which con- 
 cerneth me hath fulfilment. 
 
 13 And they said, Lord, 
 
 behold, here are two swords. 
 And he said unto them. It is 
 enough. 
 
 14 And they come unto a 
 place which was named 
 Gethsemane : a garden, into 
 the which he entered, him- 
 self and his disciples. 
 
 1 5 Now Judas, also, which 
 betrayed h i m, knew the 
 place : for Jesus oft-times 
 resorted thither with his dis- 
 ciples. 
 
 16 And he said unto them. 
 Pray that ye enter not in- 
 to temptation. Sit ye here, 
 while I go yonder and pray. 
 
 THE AGONY. 
 Friday morn early, April 7, A. D. 30. 
 
 17 And he took with him 
 Peter and the two sons of 
 Zebedee, and began to be 
 sorrowful and sore troubled. 
 
 18 Then saith he unto 
 them. My soul is exceeding 
 sorrowful, even iinto death : 
 abide ye here, and watch 
 with me. 
 
 19 And he went forward a 
 little, and fell on his face, 
 and prayed, saying, O my 
 Father, if it be possible, let

OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 898 
 
 this cup pass away from me ; 
 nevertheless, not as I will, 
 but as thou wilt. 
 
 20 And when he rose up 
 from his prayer, he came un- 
 to the disciples, and found 
 them sleeping for sorrow. 
 
 21 And said unto them, 
 Why sleep ye? rise and pray, 
 that ye enter not into temp- 
 tation. 
 
 22 And saith unto Peter, 
 Simon, sleepestthou? could- 
 est thou not watch with me 
 one hour? 
 
 23 Watch and pray, that 
 ye enter not into temptation : 
 the spirit indeed is willing, 
 but the flesh is weak. 
 
 24 Again, a second time 
 he went away, and prayed, 
 saying the same words. O 
 my Father, if this cannot 
 pass away, except I drink it, 
 thy will be done. 
 
 25 And again he came, 
 and found them sleeping, for 
 their eyes were very heavy ; 
 and they wist not what to 
 answer him. And he left 
 them again, and went away, 
 and prayed a third time. 
 
 26 And he said, Abba, 
 Father, all things are pos- 
 sible unto thee ; remove this 
 cup from me : howbeit not 
 what I will, but what thou 
 wilt. 
 
 27 And there appeared un- 
 to him an angel from heaven, 
 strengthening him. 
 
 28 And being in an agony 
 he prayed more earnestly : 
 and his sweat became as it 
 were great drops of blood 
 falling down upon the 
 ground. 
 
 29 And he cometh the 
 third time, and saith unto 
 them, Sleep on now, and 
 take your rest : it is enough ; 
 the hour is come ; behold, 
 the Son of man is betrayed 
 into the hands of sinners. 
 
 30 Arise, let us be going: 
 behold, he that betrayeth me 
 is at hand. 
 
 3 1 And straightway, 
 while he yet spake, cometh 
 Judas, one of the twelve, and 
 with him a multitude with 
 swords and staves, from the 
 chief priests and the scribes 
 and the elders. 
 
394 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 32 Now he that betrayed 
 him had given them a token 
 saying, Whomsoever I shall 
 kiss, that is he; take him, 
 and lead him away safely. 
 
 33 And straightway he 
 came to Jesns.and said. Hail, 
 Rabbi ; and kissed him. 
 
 34 And Jesus said unto 
 him, 
 
 Judas, betrayest thou the 
 Son of man with a kiss? 
 
 35 Jesus therefore, know- 
 ing all the things that were 
 coming upon h i m, went 
 forth, and saith unto them, 
 Whom seek ye? 
 
 36 They answered him, 
 Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus 
 saith unto them, I am he. 
 
 37 When therefore he said 
 unto them, I am he, they 
 went backward, and fell to 
 the ground. 
 
 38 Again therefore h e 
 asked them, Whom seek ye? 
 And they said, Jesus of Naz- 
 areth. 
 
 39 Jesus answered, I told 
 you that I am //t' : if therefore 
 ye seek me, let these go their 
 way: 
 
 40 That the word might 
 be fulfilled which he spake. 
 Of those whom thou hast 
 given me I lost not one. 
 
 41 Then they came and 
 laid hands on Jesus, and took 
 him. 
 
 42 And when they that 
 were about him saw what 
 would follow, they said. 
 Lord, shall we smite with 
 the sword? 
 
 43 Simon Peter therefore 
 having a sword drew it, and 
 struck the high priest's ser- 
 vant, and cut off his right 
 ear. The servant's name 
 was Malchus. 
 
 44 But Jesus answered 
 and said, Suffer ye thus far. 
 And he touched his ear, and 
 healed him. 
 
 45 Jesus therefore said un- 
 to Peter, Put up the sword 
 into the sheath ; for all they 
 that take the sword shall 
 perish with the sword. The 
 cup which the Father hath 
 given me, shall I not drink 
 it? 
 
 46 Or thinkest thou that I 
 cannot beseech my Father, 
 
The Kiss of Judas. 
 
OF OUR RISHN LORD. 
 
 397 
 
 and he shall even now send 
 nie more than twelve legions 
 of angels? 
 
 47 How then should the 
 scriptures be fulfilled, that 
 thus it must be? 
 
 48 In that hour said Jesus 
 to the multitudes, Are ye 
 come out as against a robber 
 with swords and staves to 
 seize me? 
 
 49 When I was daily with 
 you in the temple, ye 
 stretched not forth your 
 hands against me : but this is 
 your hour, and the power of 
 darkness. 
 
 50 Then all the disciples 
 left him, and fled. 
 
 51 And a certain young 
 man followed with him, hav- 
 ing a linen cloth cast about 
 him, over Jiis naked body: 
 and they lay hold on him ; 
 
 52 but he left the linen 
 cloth, and fled naked. 
 
 53 So the band and the 
 chief captain, and the officers 
 of the Jews, seized Jesus and 
 bound him, 
 
 TRIAL BEFORE ANNAS. 
 
 54 And led him to Annas 
 
 first; for he was father in 
 law to Caiaphas, which was 
 high priest that year. 
 
 55 He, Annas, therefore 
 asked Jesus of his disciples, 
 and of his teaching. 
 
 56 Jesus answered him, I 
 have spoken openly to the 
 world ; I ever taught in syn- 
 agogues, and in the temple, 
 where all the Jews come to- 
 gether; and in secret spake 
 I nothing. 
 
 57 Why askest thou me? 
 ask them that have heard 
 me, what I spake unto them : 
 behold, these know the 
 things which I said. 
 
 58 And when he had said 
 this, one of the officers 
 standing by struck Jesus 
 with his hand, saying, An- 
 swerest thou the high priest 
 so? 
 
 59 Jesus answered him. 
 If I have spoken evil, bear 
 witness of the evil: but if 
 well, why smitest thou me? 
 
 60' Annas therefore sent 
 him bound unto Caiaphas 
 the high priest. 
 
 61 And they led Jesus 
 
398 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 away to the high priest : and 
 there come together with 
 him all the chief priests and 
 the elders and the scribes. 
 
 CHAPTER LVIII. 
 
 NOW Caiaphas was he 
 which gave counsel to 
 the Jews, that it was ex- 
 pedient that one man should 
 die for the people. 
 
 2 And Simon Peter fol- 
 lowed Jesus, and so did an- 
 other disciple. Now that 
 disciple was known unto the 
 high priests, and entered in 
 with Jesus into the court of 
 the high priest. 
 
 3 But Peter was standing 
 at the door without. So the 
 other disciple, which was 
 known unto the high priest, 
 went out and spake unto 
 her that kept the door, and 
 brought in Peter. 
 
 4 Now the servants and 
 the officers were standing 
 there, having made a fire of 
 coals ; 
 
 5 For it was cold; and 
 they were warming them- 
 selves : and Peter also was 
 
 with them, standing and 
 warming himself. 
 
 6 Now the chief priests 
 and the whole council sought 
 false witness against Jesus, 
 that they might put him to 
 death ; and found it not. 
 
 7 And there stood up cer- 
 tain, and bare witness 
 against him, saying, 
 
 8 We heard him say, I 
 will destroy this temple that 
 is made with hands, and in 
 three days I will build an- 
 other made without hands. 
 
 9 And not even so did 
 their witness agree together. 
 
 10 And the high priest 
 stood up in the midst, and 
 asked Jesus, saying, An- 
 swerest thou nothing? what 
 is it which these witness 
 against thee? 
 
 1 1 But he held his peace 
 and answered nothing. 
 
 12 And the high priest 
 said unto him, I adjure thee 
 by the living God, that thou 
 tell us whether thou be the 
 Christ, the Son of God. 
 
 13 Art thou the Christ, 
 the Son of the Blessed? 
 
5 ^ 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 401 
 
 14 And Jesus said, I am : 
 and ye shall see the Son of 
 man sitting at the right hand 
 of power, and coming with 
 the clouds of heaven. 
 
 15 Then the high priest 
 rent his garments, saying, 
 He hath spoken blasphemy : 
 what further need have we 
 of witnesses? behold, now ye 
 have heard the blasphemy : 
 
 16 What think ye? And 
 they all condemned him to 
 be worthy of death. 
 
 17 And some began to 
 spit on him, and to cover his 
 face, and to btiffet him, and 
 to say unto him, Prophesy : 
 and the officers received him 
 with blows of their hands. 
 
 18 And the men that held 
 Jesus mc ^ked him, and beat 
 him. 
 
 19 And they blindfolded 
 him, and asked him, saying. 
 Prophesy: who is he that 
 strtick thee? 
 
 20 And many other things 
 spake they against him, re- 
 viling him. 
 
 Peter's remorse. 
 
 2 1 And as Peter was be- 
 
 neath in the court, there 
 Cometh one of the maids of 
 the high priest ; 
 
 22 And seeing Peter 
 warming himself, she looked 
 upon him, and saith. Thou 
 also wast with the Nazarene, 
 even Jesus. 
 
 23 But he denied, saying, 
 I neither know, nor i:nder- 
 stand what thou sayest ; and 
 he went out into the porch ; 
 
 24 And when he was gone 
 ot:t into the porch, another 
 maid saw him, and saith un- 
 to them that were there. 
 This man also was with 
 Jesus the Nazarene. 
 
 25 But he again denied it. 
 
 26 And after a little while 
 they that stood by came and 
 said to Peter, Of a truth 
 thou also art one of them; 
 for thy speech betrayeth 
 thee. 
 
 27 And one of the ser- 
 vants of the high priest, be- 
 ing a kinsman of him whose 
 ear Peter cut off, saith. Did 
 not I see thee in the garden 
 with him? 
 
 28 Then began he to curse 
 
402 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and to swear, I know not 
 the man. And straightway 
 the cock crew. 
 
 29 And the Lord turned, 
 and looked upon Peter. 
 
 30 And Peter remem- 
 bered the word which Jesus 
 had said, Before the cock 
 crow, thou shalt deny me 
 thrice. 
 
 31 And he went out, and 
 wept bitterly. 
 
 CHAPTER LIX. 
 
 TRIAL BEFORE SANHEDRIN. 
 
 A ND straightway in the 
 -^*- morning as soon as it 
 was day, the assembly of the 
 elders of the people was 
 gathered together, both 
 chief priests and scribes; 
 and they led him away into 
 their council, saying, 
 
 2 If thou art the Christ, 
 tell us. But he said unto 
 them. If I tell you, ye will not 
 believe : 
 
 3 And if I etskyoi/, ye will 
 not answer. But from 
 henceforth shall the Son of 
 man be seated at the right 
 hand of the power of God. 
 
 4 And they all said, Art 
 thou then the Son of God? 
 And he said unto them. Ye 
 say that I am. 
 
 5 And they said, What 
 further need have we of wit- 
 ness? for we ourselves have 
 heard from his own mouth. 
 
 6 And they bound him, 
 and led him away, and de- 
 livered him up to Pilate the 
 governor. 
 
 7 Then Judas, which be- 
 trayed him, when he saw 
 that he was condemned, re- 
 pented himself, and brought 
 back the thirty pieces of sil- 
 ver to the chief priests and 
 elders, saying, 
 
 8 I have sinned in that 
 I betrayed innocent blood. 
 But they said. What is that 
 to us? see thou /<? //. 
 
 A. D. 30. Friday, April 7, at day- 
 break. 
 
 9 And he cast down the 
 pieces of silver into the sanc- 
 tuary, and departed ; and he 
 went away and hanged him- 
 self. 
 
 10 And the chief priests 
 took the pieces of silver, and 
 
Peter's Repentance. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD.

 said, It is not lawful to piit 
 them into the treasury, since 
 it is the price of blood. 
 
 1 1 And they took counsel, 
 and bought with them the 
 potter's field, to bury 
 strangers in. 
 
 12 Wherefore that field 
 was called. The field of 
 blood, unto this day. 
 
 13 Then was fulfilled that 
 which was spoken by Jere- 
 miah the prophet, saying. 
 And they took the thirty 
 pieces of silver, the price of 
 him that was priced, whom 
 certain of the children of 
 Israel did price ; 
 
 14 And they gave them 
 for the potter's field, as the 
 Lord appointed me. 
 
 TRIALS BEFORE PILATE AND 
 HEROD. 
 
 15 And now Jesus stood 
 before the governor : and it 
 was early ; 
 
 16 The Jews themselves 
 entered not into the palace, 
 that they might not be de- 
 filed, but might eat the pass- 
 over. 
 
 17 Pilate therefore went 
 
 out unto them, and saitb, 
 What accusation bring ye 
 against this man? 
 
 18 They answered and 
 said unto him, If this man 
 were not an evil-doer, we 
 should not have delivered 
 him up unto thee. 
 
 19 Pilate therefore said 
 unto them. Take him your- 
 selves, and judge him ac- 
 cording to your law. The 
 Jews said unto him. It is not 
 lawful for us to put any man 
 to death : 
 
 20 That the word of Jesus 
 might be fulfilled, which he 
 spake, signifying by what 
 manner of death he should 
 die. 
 
 21 And they began to ac- 
 cuse him, saying, We found 
 this man perverting our na- 
 tion, and forbidding to give 
 tribute to Caesar, and saying 
 that he himself is Christ a 
 king. 
 
 23. Pilate therefore en- 
 tered again into the palace, 
 and called Jesus, and said 
 imto him. Art thou the King 
 of the Jews? 
 
406 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 23 Jesus answered, Sayest 
 thou this of thyself, or did 
 others tell it thee concerning 
 me? 
 
 24 Pilate answered. Am I 
 a Jew? Thine own nation 
 and the chief priests deliv- 
 ered thee unto me : what 
 hast thou done? 
 
 25 Jesus answered, My 
 kingdom is not of this world : 
 if my kingdom were of this 
 world, then would my ser- 
 vants fight, that I should not 
 be delivered to the Jews: 
 but now is my kingdom not 
 from hence. 
 
 26 Pilate therefore said 
 unto him, Art thou a king, 
 then? Jesus answered. Thou 
 sayest that I am a king. To 
 this end have I been born, 
 and to this end am I come 
 into the world, that I should 
 bear witness unto the truth. 
 Every one that is of the truth 
 heareth my voice. 
 
 27 Pilate saith unto him. 
 What is truth? 
 
 28 And when he had said 
 this, he went out again unto 
 the Jews, and saith unto 
 
 them, I find no crime :n 
 him. 
 
 29 But they were the more 
 urgent, saying, He stirreth 
 up the people, teaching 
 throughout all Judaea, and 
 beginning from Galilee even 
 unto this place. 
 
 30 But when Pilate heard 
 it, he asked whether the man 
 were a Galilaean. 
 
 3 1 And when he knew that 
 he was of Herod's jurisdic- 
 tion, he sent him unto He- 
 rod, who himself also was 
 at Jerusalem in these days. 
 
 32 Now when Herod saw 
 Jesus, he was exceeding 
 glad : for he was of a long 
 time desirous to see him, be- 
 cause he had heard concern- 
 ing him; and he hoped to 
 see some miracle done by 
 him. 
 
 33 Andhe questioned him 
 in many words ,' but he an- 
 swered him nothing. 
 
 34 And the chief priests 
 and the scribes stood, ve- 
 hemently accusing him. 
 
 35 And Herod with his 
 soldiers set him at nought, 
 
u 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 40S 
 
 and mocked him, and array- 
 ing him in gorgeons apparel 
 sent him back to Pilate. 
 
 36 And Herod and Pilate 
 became friends with each 
 other that very day : for be- 
 fore they were at enmity be- 
 tween themselves. 
 
 37 And while Pilate was 
 sitting on the judgement- 
 seat, his wife sent unto him, 
 saying. Have thou nothing to 
 do with that righteous man : 
 for I have suffered many 
 things this day in a dream 
 because of him. 
 
 38 And Pilate called to- 
 gether the chief priests and 
 the rulers and the people, 
 
 39 And said unto them. 
 Ye brought unto me this 
 man, as one that perverteth 
 the people : and behold, I, 
 having examined him before 
 you, found no fault in this 
 man toi:ching those things 
 whereof ye accuse him : 
 
 40 No, nor yet Herod: for 
 he sent him back unto us; 
 and behold, nothing worthy 
 of death hath been done by 
 him. 
 
 4 1 I will therefore chastise 
 him, and release him. 
 
 42 Now at a feast the gov- 
 ernor was wont to release 
 unto the multitude one pris- 
 oner, whom they would. 
 
 43 And they had then a 
 notable prisoner, called Ba- 
 rabbas, lying bound with 
 them that had made insur- 
 rection, men who i n the 
 insurrection had committed 
 murder. 
 
 44 And the multitude 
 went up and began to ask 
 him to do as he was wont to 
 do unto them. 
 
 45 When therefore they 
 were gathered together, Pi- 
 late said unto them. Whom 
 will ye that I release un- 
 to you? Barabbas, or Jesus 
 which is called Christ the 
 King of the Jews? 
 
 46 For he perceived that 
 for envy the chief priests had 
 delivered him up. 
 
 47 But the chief priests 
 and'the elders persuaded the 
 multitudes that they should 
 ask for Barabbas, and de- 
 stroy Jesus. 
 
410 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 48 And they cried out all 
 together, saying, Away with 
 this man, and release unto 
 us Barabbas : 
 
 49 And Pilate spake unto 
 them again, desiring to re- 
 lease Jesus; 
 
 50 They cried out there- 
 fore again saying, Not this 
 man, but Barabbas. Now 
 Barabbas was a robber. 
 
 51 And Pilate again an- 
 swered and said unto them. 
 What then shall I do unto 
 Jesus which is called Christ? 
 They all say, Let him be 
 crucified. 
 
 52 And he said, Why, 
 what evil hath he done? But 
 they cried out exceedingly, 
 saying, Crucify //////, cru- 
 cify ///;;/. 
 
 53 He said unto them, I 
 have found no cause of death 
 in him : I will therefore 
 chastise him and release 
 him. 
 
 54 And the soldiers led 
 him away within the court, 
 which is the Prastorium; 
 and they call together the 
 whole band. 
 
 55 And they clothe him 
 with purple, and plaiting a 
 crown of thorns, they put it 
 on him ; and they began to 
 salute him. Hail, King of the 
 Jews! 
 
 56 And they smote his 
 head with a reed, and did 
 spit upon him, and bowing 
 their knees worshipped him. 
 
 57 And Pilate went out 
 again, and saith unto them, 
 Behold, I bring him out to 
 you, that ye may know that 
 I find no crime in him. 
 
 58 Jesus therefore came 
 out, wearing the crown of 
 thorns and the purple gar- 
 ment. And Pilate saith unto 
 them, Behold, the man ! 
 
 59 When therefore the 
 chief priests and the offi- 
 cers saw him, they cried out, 
 saying, Crucify //////, crucify 
 him. 
 
 60 Pilate saith unto them. 
 Take him yortrselves, and 
 crucify him : for I find no 
 crime in him. 
 
 61 The Jews answered 
 him. We have a law, and by 
 that law he ought to die, be- 
 
BtHOLD THL .M..X. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 413 
 
 cause he made himself the 
 Son of God. 
 
 62 When Pilate therefore 
 heard this saying, he was the 
 more afraid ; 
 
 6s And he entered into 
 the palace again, and saith 
 unto Jesus, Whence art thou? 
 But Jesus gave him no an- 
 swer. 
 
 64 Pilate therefore saith 
 unto him, Speakest thou not 
 unto me? knowest thou not 
 that I have power to release 
 thee, and have power to cru- 
 cify thee? 
 
 65 Jesus answered him, 
 Thou wouldest have no 
 power against me, except it 
 were given thee from above : 
 therefore he that delivered 
 me unto thee hath greater 
 sin. 
 
 66 Upon this Pilate sought 
 to release him : but the Jews 
 cried out, saying, If thou 
 release this man, thou art 
 not Cccsar's friend: every 
 one that maketh himself a 
 king speaketh against 
 Ccesar. 
 
 67 When Pilate therefore 
 
 heard these words, he 
 brought Jesus out, and sat 
 down on the judgement-seat 
 at a place called The Pave- 
 ment, but in Hebrew, Gab- 
 batha. 
 
 68 Now it was the Pre- 
 paration of the passover : it 
 was about the sixth hour. 
 And he saith unto the Jews, 
 Behold, your King ! 
 
 69 They therefore cried 
 out. Away with ///w, away 
 with ///w, crucify h i m. 
 Pilate saith unto them. Shall 
 I crucify your King? 
 
 70 The chief priests an- 
 swered, We have no king 
 but Ccesar. 
 
 71 So when Pilate saw 
 that he prevailed nothing, 
 but rather that tumult was 
 arising, he took water, and 
 washed his hands before the 
 multitude, saying, I am in- 
 nocent of the blood of this 
 righteous man : see ye to it. 
 
 72 And all the people an- 
 swered and said, His blood 
 be on us, and on our children ; 
 and their voices prevailed. 
 
 73 Then Pilate, wishing 
 
414 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 to content the multitude, re- 
 leased him that for insur- 
 rection and murder had been 
 cast into prison, whom they 
 asked for; but Jesus he de- 
 livered up to their will. 
 
 74 And when they had 
 mocked him, they took off 
 from him the purple, and 
 put on him his garments. 
 And they lead him out to 
 crucify him. 
 
 CHAPTER LX. 
 
 THE CRUCIFIXION. 
 A. D. 30, April 7, 9 A.M. 
 
 JESUS therefore went out, 
 bearing the cross. 
 
 2 And they compel one 
 passing by, Simon of Cy- 
 rene, coming from the coun- 
 try, the father of Alexander 
 and Rufus, to go with them, 
 and to bear the cross, after 
 Jesus. 
 
 3 And there followed him 
 a great multitude of the 
 people, and of women who 
 bewailed and lamented him. 
 
 4 But Jesus turning unto 
 them said, Daughters of Je- 
 rusalem, weep not for me, 
 
 but weep for yourselves, and 
 for your children. 
 
 5 For behold, the days are 
 coming, in which they shall 
 say. Blessed are the barren, 
 and the wombs that never 
 bare, and the breasts that 
 never gave suck. 
 
 6 Then shall they begin 
 to say to the mountains. 
 Fall on us ; and to the hills, 
 Cover us. 
 
 7 For if they do these 
 things in the green tree, 
 what shall be done in the 
 dry? 
 
 8 And there were also two 
 others, malefactors, led with 
 him to be put to death. 
 
 9 And when they were 
 come unto a place called 
 Golgotha, that is to say. The 
 place of a skull, they gave 
 him wine to drink mingled 
 with gall : and when he had 
 tasted it, he would not drink. 
 
 10 There they crucified 
 him, and the malefactors, 
 one on the right hand and 
 the other on the left, and 
 Jesus in the midst. 
 
 11 And Jesus said. Father, 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 41' 
 
 forgive them ; for the}- know 
 not what they do. 
 
 1 2 The soldiers, when 
 they had crucified Jesus, 
 took his garments, and made 
 four parts, to every soldier 
 a part; and also the coat: 
 now the coat was without 
 seam, woven from the top 
 throughout. 
 
 13 They said therefore 
 one to another. Let us not 
 rend it, but cast lots for it, 
 whose it shall be ; that the 
 scripture might be fulfilled, 
 which saith, 
 
 They parted my garments 
 among them, 
 
 And upon my vesture did 
 they cast lots. 
 
 These things therefore the 
 soldiers did. 
 
 14 It was the third hour, 
 and they sat and watched 
 him there. 
 
 1 5 And Pilate wrote a title 
 also, and put it on the cross. 
 And there was written, 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE 
 KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 16 This title therefore 
 read many of the Jews: for 
 
 the place where Jesus was 
 crucified was nigh to the 
 city : and it was written in 
 Hebrew, and in Latin, and 
 in Greek. 
 
 17 The chief priests of the 
 Jews therefore said to Pilate, 
 Write not. The king of the 
 Jews ; but, that he said, I am 
 king of the Jews. 
 
 18 Pilate answered, What 
 I have written I have written. 
 
 19 And the people stood 
 beholding. And the rulers 
 also scoffed at him, saying, 
 He saved others; let him 
 save himself, if this is the 
 Christ of God, his chosen. 
 
 20 And the soldiers also 
 mocked him, coming to him, 
 offering him vinegar, and 
 saying, 
 
 21 If thou art the King of 
 the Jews, save thyself. 
 
 22 And they that passed 
 by railed on him, wagging 
 their heads, and saj'ing, 
 
 23 Thou that destroyest 
 the temple, and buildest it 
 in three days, save thyself: 
 if thou art the Son of God. 
 come down from the cross. 
 
418 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 24 In like manner also the 
 chief priests mocking him, 
 with the scribes and elders, 
 said, He saved others ; 
 
 25 Himself he cannot 
 save. He is the King of 
 Israel ; let him now come 
 down from the cross, and we 
 will believe on him. 
 
 26 He trusteth on God; 
 let him deliver him now, if 
 he desireth him : for he said, 
 I am the Son of God. 
 
 27 And one of the male- 
 factors which were hanged 
 railed on him, saying, Art 
 not thou the Christ? save 
 thyself and us. 
 
 28 But the other an- 
 swered, and rebuking him 
 said, Dost thou not even 
 fear God, seeing thou art in 
 the same condemnation? 
 
 29 And we indeed justly ; 
 for we receive the due re- 
 ward of our deeds: but this 
 man hath done nothing 
 amiss. 
 
 30 And he said, Jesus, 
 remember me when thou 
 comest in thy kingdom. 
 
 31 And he said unto him. 
 
 Verily I say unto thee, To- 
 day shalt thou be with me in 
 Paradise. 
 
 32 There were standing 
 by the cross of Jesus his 
 mother, and his mother's 
 sister, Mary the luife of Clo- 
 pas, and Mary Magdalene. 
 
 33 When Jesus therefore 
 saw his mother, and the 
 disciple standing by, whom 
 he loved, he saith unto 
 his mother, Woman, behold, 
 thy son ! 
 
 34 Then saith he to the 
 disciple, Behold, thy mo- 
 ther! And from that hour 
 the disciple took her imto 
 his own Jiomc. 
 
 35 And when the sixth 
 hour was come, there was 
 darkness over the whole land 
 until the ninth hour. 
 
 36 And at the ninth hour 
 Jesus cried with a loud 
 voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sa- 
 bachthani? which is, being 
 interpreted. My God, my 
 God, why hast thou forsaken 
 me? 
 
 37 And some of them that 
 stood by, when they heard 
 
Woman, Behold thy Son.'' 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD 
 
 421 
 
 it, said, Behold, he calleth 
 Elijah. 
 
 38 After this, Jesus, 
 knowing that all things are 
 now finished, that the scrip- 
 ture might be accomplished, 
 saith, I thirst. 
 
 39 There was set there a 
 vessel full of vinegar : 
 
 40 And one ran, and filling 
 a sponge full of vinegar, put 
 it on a reed, and gave him 
 to drink, saying, Let be ; let 
 us see whether Elijah com- 
 eth to take him down. 
 
 41 When Jesus therefore 
 had received the vinegar, he 
 said, It is finished: 
 
 42 And when he had cried 
 with a loud voice, he said, 
 Father, into thy hands I com- 
 mend my spirit: and having 
 saidthis, he gave up the ghost. 
 
 43 And behold, the veil of 
 the temple was rent in twain 
 from the top to the bottom ; 
 and the earth did quake ; and 
 the rocks were rent: 
 
 44 And the tombs were 
 opened ; and many bodies of 
 the saints t4iat had fallen 
 asleep were raised; 
 
 45 And coming forth out 
 of the tombs after his resur- 
 rection they entered into 
 the holy city and appeared 
 unto many. 
 
 46 Now the centurion, and 
 they that were with him 
 watching Jesus, when they 
 saw the earthquake, and the 
 things that were done, feared 
 exceedingly, saying, Tnily 
 this was the Son of God. 
 
 47 And the centurion glor- 
 ified God, saying. Certainly 
 this was a righteous man. 
 
 48 And all the multitudes 
 that came together to this 
 sight, when they beheld the 
 things that were done, re- 
 turned smiting their breasts. 
 
 49 And there were also 
 women beholding from afar: 
 among whom were both IMary 
 Magdalene, and Mary the 
 mother of James the less and 
 of Joses, and Salome ; 
 
 50 Who, when he was in 
 Gali\ee, followed him, and 
 ministered unto him; and 
 many other women which 
 came up with him unto Je- 
 rusalem. 
 
422 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 5 I The Jews therefore, be- 
 cause it was the Preparation, 
 that the bodies should not 
 remain on the cross upon the 
 sabbath (for the day of that 
 sabbath was a high day), 
 asked of Pilate that their legs 
 might be broken, and that 
 they might be taken away. 
 
 52 The soldiers therefore 
 came, and brake the legs of 
 the first, and of the other 
 which was crucified with 
 him : 
 
 53 But when they came to 
 Jesus, and saw that he was 
 dead already, they brake not 
 his legs : 
 
 54 Howbeit one of the 
 soldiers with a spear pierced 
 his side, and straightway 
 there came out blood and 
 water. 
 
 55 And he that hath seen 
 hath borne witness, and his 
 witness i s true : and he 
 knoweth that he saith true, 
 that ye also may believe. 
 
 56 For these things came 
 to pass, that the scripture 
 might be fulfilled, A bone of 
 him shall not be broken. 
 
 57 And again another 
 scripture saith. They shall 
 look on him whom they 
 pierced. 
 
 CHAPTER LXI. 
 \ ND behold, a man 
 -^~*- named Joseph, who was 
 a councillor, a good man and 
 a righteous 
 
 2 (He had not consented 
 to their counsel and deed), a 
 man of Arimath^a, a city of 
 the Jews, who was looking 
 for the kingdom of God : 
 
 3 This man when even 
 was come, being a disciple of 
 Jesus, but secretly for fear 
 of the Jews, asked of Pilate 
 that he might take away the 
 body of Jesus: 
 
 4 And Pilate marvelled if 
 he were already dead: and 
 calling unto him the cen- 
 turion, he asked him whether 
 he had been any while dead. 
 
 5 And when he learned it 
 of the centurion, he granted 
 the corpse to Joseph. 
 
 6 And he bought a linen 
 cloth, and taking him down, 
 wound him in the linen 
 cloth. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 425 
 
 7 And there came also 
 Nicodenras, he who at the 
 first came to him by night, 
 bringing a mixture of myrrh 
 and aloes, abont a hundred 
 pound wcigJit. 
 
 8 So they took the body of 
 Jesus, and bound it in linen 
 cloths with the spices, as the 
 custom of the Jews is tobury. 
 
 9 Now in the place where 
 he was crucified there was a 
 garden ; and in the garden a 
 new tomb wherein was never 
 man yet laid. Joseph's own 
 new tomb, which he had 
 hewn out in the rock : 
 
 10 There then because of 
 the Jews' Preparation (for 
 the tomb was nigh at hand) 
 they laid Jesus. 
 
 1 1 And he rolled a great 
 stone to the door of the 
 tomb, and departed. 
 
 12 And the women, which 
 had come with him out of 
 Galilee, followed after, and 
 beheld the tomb, and how 
 his body was laid. 
 
 13 And Mary Magdalene 
 was there, and the other 
 Mary, sitting over against 
 the sepulchre. And they re- 
 
 turned, and prepared spices 
 and ointments. 
 
 And on the sabbath they 
 rested according to the com- 
 mandment. 
 
 THE RESURRECTION. 
 
 14 Now on the morrow, 
 which is the day after the 
 Preparation, the chief 
 priests and the Pharisees 
 were gathered together unto 
 Pilate, saying, 
 
 15 Sir, we remember that 
 that deceiver said, while he 
 was yet alive, After three 
 days I rise again. 
 
 16 Command therefore 
 that the sepulchre be made 
 sure until the third day, lest 
 haply his disciples come and 
 steal him away, and say un- 
 to the people, He is risen 
 from the dead : and the last 
 error will be worse than the 
 first. 
 
 17 Pilate said unto them, 
 Ye have a guard : go your 
 way, make it as sure as ye 
 can. 
 
 18 So they went, and 
 made the sepulchre sure, 
 sealing the stone, the guard 
 being with them. 
 
426 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 19 And as it began to 
 dawn toward the first day of 
 the week, behold, there was 
 a great earthquake ; for an 
 angel of the Lord descended 
 from heaven, and came and 
 rolled away the stone, and 
 sat upon it. 
 
 20 His appearance was as 
 lightning, and his raiment 
 white as snow : 
 
 21 And for fear of him the 
 watchers did quake, and be- 
 came as dead men. 
 
 22 And when the sabbath 
 was past, Mary Magdalene, 
 and Mary the mother of 
 James, and Salome, bought 
 spices, that they might come 
 and anoint him. 
 
 23 And very early on the 
 first day of the week, they 
 come to the tomb when the 
 sun was risen. 
 
 24 And they were saying 
 among themselves, Who 
 shall roll us away the stone 
 from the door of the tomb? 
 
 25 And looking up, they 
 see that the stone is rolled 
 back: for it was exceeding 
 great. 
 
 26 Mary Magdalene run- 
 neth therefore, and cometh 
 to Simon Peter, and to the 
 other disciple, whom Jesus 
 loved, and saith unto them, 
 They have taken away the 
 Lord out of the tomb, and 
 we know not where they 
 have laid him. 
 
 27 But the other women 
 entering into the tomb, they 
 saw a young man sitting on 
 the right side, arrayed in a 
 white robe ; and they were 
 amazed. 
 
 28 And h e saith unto 
 them, Be not amazed: ye 
 seek Jesus, the Nazarene, 
 which hath been crucified, 
 even as he said ; he is risen. 
 He is not here : behold, the 
 place where they laid him ! 
 
 29 And go quickly, and 
 tell his disciples, and Peter. 
 
 * He is risen from the dead ; 
 and lo, he goeth before you 
 into Galilee ; lo, I have told 
 you. 
 
 30 And they went out, 
 and fled from the tomb ; for 
 trembling and astonishment 
 had come upon them : 
 
The Women at the Tomb.

 31 And it came to pass, 
 while they were perplexed 
 thereabout, behold, two men 
 stood by them in dazzling 
 apparel : 
 
 32 And as they were 
 afifrighted, and bowed down 
 their faces to the earth, they 
 said unto them, Why seek ye 
 the living among the dead? 
 
 33 He is not here, but is 
 risen: remember how he 
 spake nnto you when he was 
 yet in Galilee, 
 
 34 Saying that the Son of 
 man must be delivered up 
 into the hands of sinful men, 
 and be crucified, and the 
 third day rise again. 
 
 35 And they remembered 
 his words, and returned from 
 the tomb, with fear and great 
 joy, and ran to bring his dis- 
 ciples word. And they said 
 nothing to any one ; for they 
 were afraid. 
 
 36 Now while they were 
 going, behold, some of the 
 guard came into the city, 
 and told the chief priests all 
 the things that were come to 
 pass. 
 
 37 And when they were 
 assembled with the elders, 
 and had taken counsel, they 
 gave large money unto the 
 soldiers, 
 
 38 Saying, Say ye, His 
 disciples came by night, and 
 stole him away while we 
 slept. 
 
 39 And if this come to the 
 governor's ears, we will per- 
 suade him, and rid you of 
 care. 
 
 40 So they took the 
 money, and did as they were 
 taught : and this saying was 
 spread abroad among the 
 Jews, andcontiniicth until this 
 day. 
 
 CHAPTER LXH. 
 
 1\/rARY Magdalene 
 ^^ ^ Cometh to Simon 
 Peter, and to the other dis- 
 ciple, whom Jesus loved, and 
 .saith unto them. They have 
 taken away the Lord out of 
 the tomb, and we know not 
 where they have laid him. 
 
 2 Peter therefore went 
 forth, and the other disciple, 
 and they went toward the 
 tomb. 
 
430 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 3 And they ran both to- 
 gether: and the other dis- 
 ciple outran Peter, and came 
 first to the tomb ; 
 
 4 And stooping and look- 
 ing in, he seeth the linen 
 cloths lying ; yet entered he 
 not in. 
 
 5 Simon Peter therefore 
 also Cometh, following him, 
 and entered into the tomb ; 
 and he beholdeth the linen 
 cloths lying, 
 
 6 And the napkin, that 
 was upon his head, not lying 
 with the linen cloths, but 
 rolled up in a place by itself. 
 
 7 Then entered in there- 
 fore the other disciple also, 
 which came first to the tomb, 
 and he saw, and believed. 
 
 8 For as yet they knew 
 not the scripture, that he 
 must rise again from the 
 dead. 
 
 9 So the disciples went 
 away again unto their own 
 home, wondering at that 
 which was come to pass. 
 
 10 But Mary was standing 
 without at the tomb weep- 
 ing: so, as she wept, she 
 
 stooped and looked into the 
 tomb, 
 
 1 1 And she beholdeth two 
 angels in white sitting, one 
 at the head, and one at the 
 feet, where the body of 
 Jesus had lain. 
 
 1 2 And they say unto her, 
 Woman, why weepest thou? 
 She saith unto them. Be- 
 cause they have taken away 
 my Lord, and I know not 
 where they have laid him. 
 
 13 When she had thus 
 said, she turned herself back, 
 and beholdeth Jesus stand- 
 ing, and knew not that it 
 was Jesus. 
 
 14 Jesus saith unto her. 
 Woman, why weepest thou? 
 whom seekest thou. She, 
 supposing him to be the 
 gardener, saith unto him, 
 Sir, if thou hast borne him 
 hence, tell me where thou 
 hast laid him, and I will take 
 him away. 
 
 15 Jesus saith unto her, 
 Mary. She turneth herself, 
 and saith unto him in He- 
 brew, Rabboni ; which is to 
 say. Master. 
 
" Rabboni, Master." 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 433 
 
 1 6 Jesus saitli to her, 
 Touch me not ; for I am not 
 yet ascended unto the 
 Father: but go inito my 
 brethren, and say to them, I 
 ascend unto my Father and 
 your Father, and my God 
 and your God, 
 
 17 Mary Magdalene 
 Cometh and telleth the dis- 
 ciples, I have seen the Lord ; 
 and how that he had said 
 these things unto her. 
 
 CHAPTER LXIII. 
 
 NOW when he was risen 
 early on the first day 
 of the week, he appeared 
 first to Mary Magdalene, 
 from whom he had cast out 
 seven devils. 
 
 2 She went and told them 
 that had been with him, as 
 they mourned and wept. 
 
 3 And they, when they 
 heard that he was alive, and 
 had been seen of her, dis- 
 believed. 
 
 4 And as Joanna, and 
 Mary the mother of James: 
 and the other women with 
 them departed quickly from 
 
 the tomb with fear and great 
 joy, and ran to bring his 
 disciples word, 
 
 5 Behold, Jesus met them, 
 saying. All hail. And they 
 came and took hold of his 
 feet, and worshipped him. 
 
 6 Then saith Jesus unto 
 them, Fear not: go tell my 
 brethren that [^they depart 
 into Galilee, and there shall 
 they see me. 
 
 7 Joanna, and Mary the 
 mother of James : and the 
 other women with them 
 told these things unto the 
 apostles. 
 
 8 And these words ap- 
 peared in their sight as idle 
 talk; and they disbelieved 
 them. 
 
 9 And after these things 
 he was manifested in an- 
 other form unto two of them, 
 as they walked, on their way 
 into the country, to a vil- 
 lage named Emmaus, which 
 was threescore furlongs from 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 10 And they communed 
 with each other of all these 
 things which had happened.

 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 Sunday afternoon, April g, A. D. 30. 
 
 1 1 And it came to pass, 
 while tliey cpmmuned and 
 questioned together, that Je- 
 sus himself drew near, and 
 went with them. 
 
 12 But their eyes were 
 holden that they should not 
 know him. 
 
 13 And he said unto them, 
 What communications are 
 these that ye have one with 
 another, as ye walk? And 
 they stood still, looking 
 sad. 
 
 14 And one of them, 
 named Cleopas, answering 
 said unto him, Dost thoii 
 alone sojourn in Jerusalem 
 and not know the things 
 which are come to pass there 
 in these days? 
 
 1 5 And he said unto them. 
 What things? And they said 
 unto him. The things con- 
 cerning Jesus of Nazareth, 
 which was a prophet mighty 
 in deed and word before God 
 and all the people : 
 
 16 And how the chief 
 priests and our rulers de- 
 livered him up to be con- 
 
 demned to death, and cru- 
 cified him. 
 
 17 But we hoped that it 
 was he which should redeem 
 Israel. Yea and beside all 
 this, it is now the third day 
 since these things came to 
 pass. 
 
 18 Moreover certain wo- 
 men of our company amazed 
 us, having been early at the 
 tomb; 
 
 19 And when they found 
 not his body, they came, 
 saying, that they had also 
 seen a vision of angels, 
 which said that he was alive. 
 
 20 And certain of them 
 that were with us went to 
 the tomb, and found it even 
 so as the women had said : 
 but him they sav/ not. 
 
 2 1 And he said unto them, 
 O foolish men, and slow of 
 heart to believe in all that 
 the prophets have spoken ! 
 
 22 Behoved it not the 
 Christ to suffer these things, 
 and to enter into his glory? 
 
 23 And beginning from, 
 Moses and from all the pro-! 
 phets, he interpreted to them 
 
The Supper at Emmaus. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 437 
 
 in all the scriptures the 
 things concerning himself. 
 
 24 And they drew nigh 
 untothe village, whither they 
 were going : and he made as 
 though he would go further. 
 
 25 And they constrained 
 him, saying. Abide with us: 
 for it is toward evening, and 
 the day is now far spent. 
 And he went in to abide 
 with them. 
 
 26 And it came to pass, 
 when he had sat down with 
 them to meat, he took the 
 bread, and blessed it, and 
 brake, and gave to them. 
 
 27 And their eyes were 
 opened, and they knew him ; 
 and he vanished out of their 
 sight. 
 
 28 And they said one to 
 another. Was not our heart 
 burning within us, while he 
 spake to us in the way, while 
 he opened to us the scrip- 
 tures? 
 
 29 And they rose up that 
 very hour, and returned to 
 Jerusalem, and found the 
 eleven gathered together, 
 and them that were with 
 
 them, saying. The Lord is 
 risen indeed, and hath ap- 
 peared to Simon. 
 
 30 And they rehearsed 
 the things tluit happened in 
 the way, and how he was 
 known of them in the break- 
 ing of the bread. 
 
 Sunday evening, April 9, A. D. 30. 
 
 31 And as they spake 
 these things, and when the 
 doors were shut where the 
 disciples were, for fear of 
 the Jews, Jesus himself stood 
 in the midst, and said unto 
 them. Peace be unto you. 
 
 32 But they were terrified 
 and affrighted, and supposed 
 that they beheld a spirit. 
 
 33 And he said unto them, 
 Why are ye troubled? and 
 wherefore d o reasonings 
 arise in your heart? 
 
 34 See my hands and my 
 feet, that it is I myself: 
 handle me, and see; for a 
 spirit hath not flesh and 
 bonfes, as ye behold me 
 having. 
 
 35 And when he had said 
 this, he shewed them his 
 hands and his feet. 
 
438 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 36 And while they still 
 disbelieved for joy, and won- 
 dered, he said nnto them. 
 Have ye here anything to 
 eat? 
 
 37 And they gave him a 
 piece of a broiled fish. And 
 he took it, and did eat before 
 them. 
 
 38 And he upbraided 
 them with their unbelief and 
 hardness of heart, because 
 they believed not them 
 which had seen him after he 
 was risen. 
 
 39 And he said unto them. 
 These are my words which 
 I spake unto you, while I 
 was yet with you, how that 
 all things must needs be ful- 
 filled, which are written in 
 the law of Moses, and the 
 prophets, and the psalms, 
 concerning me. 
 
 40 Then opened he their 
 mind, that they might under- 
 stand the scriptures ; 
 
 4 1 And he said unto them, 
 Thus it is written, that the 
 Christ should suffer, and rise 
 again from the dead the 
 third day ; 
 
 42 And that repentance 
 and remission of sins should 
 be preached in his name 
 unto all the nations, begin- 
 ning from Jerusalem. 
 
 43 Ye are witnesses of 
 these things. 
 
 44 And he said unto them. 
 Go ye into all the world, and 
 preach the gospel to the 
 whole creation. 
 
 45 He that believeth and 
 is baptized shall be saved ; 
 but he that disbelieveth shall 
 be condemned. 
 
 46 And these signs shall 
 follow them that believe : in 
 my name shall they cast out 
 devils ; they shall speak with 
 new tongues ; 
 
 47 They shall take up ser- 
 pents, and if they drink any 
 deadly thing, it shall in no 
 wise hurt them; they shall 
 lay hands on the sick, and 
 they shall recover. 
 
 48 Then Jesus said to 
 them again. Peace be unto 
 you : as the Father hath sent 
 me, even so send I you. 
 
 49 And when he had said 
 this, he breathed on them, 
 
OF OUR RISEN 
 
 and saith unto them, Receive 
 ye the Hol}^ Ghost : 
 
 50 Whose soever sins ye 
 forgive, they are forgiven 
 unto them ; whose soever 
 sins ye retain, they are 
 retained. 
 
 5 1 But Thomas, one of the 
 twelve, called Didymus, was 
 not with them when Jesus 
 came. 
 
 52 The other disciples 
 therefore said unto him, We 
 have seen the Lord. But 
 he said unto them. Except 
 I shall see in his hands the 
 print of the nails, and put 
 my finger into the print of 
 the nails, and put my hand 
 into his side, I will not be- 
 lieve. 
 
 Sunday evening, April 16, A. D. 30. 
 
 53 And after eight days 
 again his disciples were 
 within, and Thomas with 
 them. Jesus cometh, the I 
 doors being shut, and stood 
 in the midst, and said. 
 Peace ^e unto you. 
 
 54 Then saith he to 
 Thomas, Reach hither thy 
 finger, and see my hands; 
 
 LORD. 441 
 
 and reach hither thy hand, 
 and put it into my side : 
 and be not faithless, but 
 believing. 
 
 55 Thomas answered and 
 said unto him. My Lord and 
 my God. 
 
 56 Jesus saith unto him, 
 Because thou hast seen me, 
 thou hast believed : blessed 
 are they that have not seen, 
 and >Y'/ have believed. 
 
 CHAPTER LXIV. 
 
 April or May, A.D. 30. 
 
 AFTER these things 
 Jesus manifested him- 
 self again to the disciples at 
 the sea of Tiberias ; and he 
 manifested himself on this 
 wise. 
 
 2 There were together Si- 
 mon Peter, and Thomas call- 
 ed Didymus, and Nathanael 
 of Cana in Galilee, and the 
 sons of Zebedee, and two 
 other of his disciples. 
 
 3 Simon Peter saith unto 
 them, I go a fishing. They 
 say unto him. We also come 
 with thee. They went forth, 
 and entered into the boat; 
 
442 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 and that night they took 
 nothing. 
 
 4 But when day was now 
 breaking, Jestis stood on the 
 beach : howbeit the disciples 
 knew not that it was Jesus. 
 
 5 Jesus therefore saith 
 unto them, Children, have 
 ye aught t o eat.'^ They an- 
 swered him. No. 
 
 6 And he said unto them, 
 Cast the net on the right 
 side of the boat, and ye shall 
 find. They cast therefore, 
 and now they were not able 
 to draw it for the multitude 
 of fishes. 
 
 7 That disciple therefore 
 whom Jesus loved saith unto 
 Peter, It is the Lord. So 
 when Simon Peter heard 
 that it was the Lord, he girt 
 his coat about him (for he 
 was naked), and cast himself 
 into the sea. 
 
 8 But the other disciples 
 came in the little boat (for 
 they were not far from the 
 land, but about two hundred 
 cubits off), dragging the net 
 full of fishes. 
 
 9 So when they got out 
 
 upon the land, they see a 
 fire of coals there, and fish 
 laid thereon, and bread. 
 
 ID Jesus saith unto them. 
 Bring of the fish which ye 
 have now taken. 
 
 1 1 Simon Peter therefore 
 went up, and drew the net to 
 land, full of great fishes, a 
 hundred and fifty and three: 
 and for all there were so 
 many, the net was not rent. 
 
 12 Jesus saith unto them, 
 Come and break your fast. 
 And none of the disciples 
 durst inquire of him. Who 
 art thou? knowing that it 
 was the Lord. 
 
 13 Jesus Cometh, and 
 taketh the bread, and giveth 
 them, and the fish likewise. 
 
 14 This is now the third 
 time that Jesus was mani- 
 fested to the disciples, after 
 that he was risen from the 
 dead. 
 
 15 So when they had 
 broken their fast, Jesus saith 
 to Simon Peter, Simon, soti 
 of John, lovest thou me more 
 than these? He saith un- 
 to him, Yea, Lord; thou 
 
3 "I4*J 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 445 
 
 knowest that I love thee. 
 He saith unto him, Feed my 
 lambs. 
 
 1 6 He saith to him again a 
 second time, Simon, son of 
 John, lovest thou me? He 
 saith unto him, Yea, Lord; 
 thou knowest that I love 
 thee. He saith unto him, 
 Tend my sheep. 
 
 17 He saith unto him the 
 third time, Simon, son of 
 John, lovest thou me? 
 
 18 Peter was grieved be- 
 cause he said unto him the 
 third time, Lovest thou me? 
 And he said unto him, Lord, 
 thou knowest all things ; thou 
 knowest that I love thee. 
 
 19 Jesus said unto him. 
 Feed my sheep. 
 
 20 Verily, verily, 1 say 
 unto thee, When thou wast 
 young, thou girdedst thyself, 
 and walkedst whither thou 
 wouldest : but when thou 
 shalt be old, thoii shalt 
 stretch forth thy hands, and 
 another shall gird thee, and 
 carry thee whither thou 
 wouldest not. 
 
 21 Now this he spake. 
 
 signifying by what manner 
 of death he should glorify 
 God. And when he had 
 spoken this, he saith imto 
 him, Follow me. 
 
 22 Peter, turning about, 
 seeth the disciple whom 
 Jesus loved following ; 
 which also leaned back on 
 his breast at the supper, and 
 said. Lord, who is he that 
 betray eth thee? 
 
 23 Peter therefore seeing 
 him saith to Jesus, Lord, and 
 what shall this man do? 
 
 24 Jesus saith unto him. 
 If I will that he tarry till I 
 come, what is that to thee? 
 follow thou me. 
 
 25 This saying therefore 
 went forth among the 
 brethren, that that disciple 
 should not die : yet Jesus 
 said not unto him, that he 
 should not die ; but. If I will 
 that he tarry till I come, 
 what is that to thee? 
 
 26 This is the disciple 
 which beareth witness of 
 these things, and wrote these 
 things: and we know that 
 his witness is true. 
 
446 
 
 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS 
 
 CHAPTER LXV. 
 
 THEN the eleven disci- 
 ples went into Galilee, 
 unto the mountain where 
 Jesus had appointed them. 
 
 2 And he appeared to 
 above five hundred brethren 
 at once, of whom the greater 
 part rer^ain until now, but 
 some are fallen asleep: 
 
 3 And when they saw him, 
 they worshipped him: but 
 some doubted. 
 
 4 And Jesus came to them 
 and spake unto them, say- 
 ing. All authority, hath been 
 given unto me in heaven and 
 on earth. 
 
 5 Go ye therefore, and 
 make disciples of all the 
 nations, baptizing them into 
 the name of the Father and 
 of the Son and of the Holy 
 Ghost : 
 
 6 Teaching them to 
 observe all things what- 
 soever I commanded you : 
 and lo, I am with you alway, 
 even unto the end of the 
 world. 
 
 7 Afterward he appeared 
 
 to James; then to all the 
 apostles; to whom he also 
 shewed himself alive after 
 his passion by many proofs, 
 appearing unto them by the 
 space of forty days, and 
 speaking the things concern- 
 ing the kingdom of God : 
 
 8 And, being assembled 
 together with them, he 
 charged them not to depart 
 from Jerusalem, but to wait 
 for the promise of the 
 Father, which, said he, ye 
 heard from ine : 
 
 9 For John indeed bap- 
 tized with water; but ye 
 shall be baptized with the 
 Holy Ghost not many days 
 hence. 
 
 10 They therefore, when 
 they were come together, 
 asked him, saying. Lord, 
 dost thou at this time restore 
 the kingdom to Israel? 
 
 1 1 And he said unto them, 
 It is not for you to know 
 times or seasons, which the 
 Father hath set within his 
 own authority. 
 
 12 But ye shall receive 
 power, when the Holy Ghost 
 
The Ascension. 
 
OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 449 
 
 is come upon you : and ye 
 shall be my witnesses both 
 in Jerusalem, and in all 
 Judaea and Samaria, and 
 imto the iittermost parts of 
 the earth. 
 
 13 And behold, I send 
 forth the promise of my 
 Father upon you : but tarry 
 3^c in the city, until ye be 
 clothed with power from on 
 high. 
 
 THE ASCENSION. 
 May 18, A. D. 30. 
 
 14 And he led them out 
 until they tvere over against 
 Bethany : and he lifted up 
 his hands, and blessed them. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, 
 while he blessed them, he 
 parted from them, and was 
 carried up into heaven. 
 And a cloud received him 
 out of their sight. 
 
 16 And while they were 
 looking stedfastly into 
 heaven as he went, behold, 
 
 two men stood by them in 
 white apparel ; which also 
 said, 
 
 1 7 Ye men of Galilee, why 
 stand ye looking into 
 heaven? this Jesus, which 
 was received up from you 
 into heaven, shall so come 
 in like manner as ye beheld 
 him going into heaven. 
 
 18 And they worshipped 
 him, and returned to Jerusa- 
 lem with great joy. 
 
 19 And were continually 
 in the temple, blessing God. 
 
 20 And the word of God 
 increased , and the number 
 of the disciples multiplied 
 in Jerusalem exceedingly ; 
 and a great company of the 
 priests were obedient to the 
 faith. 
 
 21 And they went forth, 
 and preached everywhere, 
 the Lord working with them, 
 and confirming the word by 
 the signs that followed. 
 
450 THE EARTHLY FOOTPRINTS OF OUR RISEN LORD. 
 
 The twelfth appearance of our Lord after the resurrec- 
 rection was made after His ascension. 
 
 We cite the words of the Evangelist Luke in reference to 
 that ever memorable and glorious event. 
 
 ACTS OF THE APOSTLES, CHAP. VII., VERSES 55, 56, 59, 60. 
 
 1 Stephen, being full of 
 the Holy Ghost, looked up 
 stedfastly into heaven, and 
 saw the glory of God, and 
 Jesus standing on the right 
 hand of God, 
 
 2 And said. Behold I see 
 the heavens opened, and the 
 Son of man standing on the 
 right hand of God. 
 
 3 And they stoned Ste- 
 phen, calling upon the Lord, 
 and saying, Lord Jesus, 
 receive my spirit. 
 
 4 And he kneeled down 
 and cried with a loud voice, 
 Lord, lay not this sin to 
 their charge. 
 
 And when he had said 
 this, he fell asleep.
