I 8*1-5, 
 Compiler's Preface. 
 
 NOT a few Christians— -fervent believers in the vital 
 significance of the sayings, doings and sufferings 
 of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the earth — have a 
 habit of mind and heart, as it were, of beholding, in sanc- 
 tified imagination, the star that betokens their Lord's com- 
 ing — of rejoicing with the shepherds — paying homage and 
 presenting gifts with the wise men — accompanying Joseph, 
 Mary and the " Child " into Egypt — returning with them 
 to Nazareth — of listening to His wisdom in the temple — 
 awaiting His return from the wilderness, and on to the 
 end of His ministry accompanying Him, witnessing His 
 miracles of infinite import, wrought through compassion 
 and love — even to Gethsemane, and to the cross : 
 
 Thereafter, waiting at the tomb before the dawn with 
 Mary called Magdalene — receiving His parting blessing 
 with the first disciples, and with them seeing Him ascend 
 to Heaven ; where as the Son of man still, they behold Him, 
 as did Stephen, at the right hand of God — the Redeemer 
 of the human race from the curse of the Law, and the "One 
 altogether lovely" who has secured eternal life for every 
 mortal who wills to accept the unspeakable gift from His 
 ever extended hand. 
 
 Dates, conjectural or positive, such believers think not 
 of. To them a chronological record, though correct beyond 
 dispute would seem of but little or no importance (in the 
 circumstances of the case, and as is well understood, no 
 
 I. 143 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 such record is obtainable or can be determined). To these 
 fervent souls it is enough that their Lord and Saviour, 
 "in the fullness of time" became incarnate, accomplished 
 His mission and returned from whence He came ; where 
 He ever liveth to intercede for all who believe and trust in 
 Him, and who continuing, as yet, in this world of sin and 
 sorrow, struggle and endure, until, touched by the finger 
 of death, they find themselves in His glorious presence, 
 with loved ones gone before, and with the redeemed and 
 sanctified of all departed generations. 
 
 While to such believers an illustrated life of the Messiah 
 is evidently no necessity, still to no Christians, as may 
 well be thought, should such a work afford more pleasure — 
 pleasure akin to that enjoyed by one who from personal 
 associations has, and is taking his favorite and customary 
 walk. 
 
 To that large wavering number who candidly confess 
 that the}- do not really know whether they believe, or do 
 not believe in Jesus of Nazareth as God manifest in the 
 flesh, and the Saviour of the world — -sometimes almost 
 certain they do, and anon shake their heads as if again in 
 doubt — inasmuch as it is with "the heart man believeth 
 unto righteousness"— this work pictured as it is with in- 
 cidents illustrating such meekness and patient suffering as 
 were never exhibited by another in the history of man- 
 kind; and such love, so earnest that neither obloquy nor 
 abandonment, nor the direst cruelty could cool much less 
 extinguish — to the candid ones whom he now has in mind 
 the compiler hopes and believes that his work will be 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 botli attractive and blessedly influential. 
 
 To agnostics who neither affirm nor deny the existence 
 of a personal God, and who to the Christian, full of faith 
 in the Lord Christ, seem almost to insist upon ignorance ; 
 and to their opposites, so to designate them, who profess 
 to have found out God by thinking, or by special illumina- 
 tion as distinguished from the revelation recounted by the 
 evangelists — to both of these classes this little work is 
 recommended as a memento — containing as it does, in 
 small compass, the details of that blessed ' 'delusion' ' ( if it be 
 a delusion ) that has given peace, hope and joy to many 
 millions of human beings in the hour of dissolution of soul 
 and body, and has been believed in and gratefully 
 accepted as eternal truth, by a multitude of men disting- 
 uished for intellectual power, and for purity of heart and 
 life, the world over.

 CHAPTKR I. 
 
 THE DIVINITY, HUMANITY 
 AND OFFICE OF JESUS 
 CHRIST. 
 
 IN the beginning was the 
 Word, and the Word 
 was with God, and the 
 Word was God. 
 
 The same was in the be- 
 ginning with God. 
 
 All things were made by 
 Him ; and without Him 
 was not any thing made 
 that was made.. 
 
 In Him was life ; and 
 the life was the light of 
 men. 
 
 And the light shineth in 
 
 darkness ; and the darkness 
 comprehended it not. 
 
 • There was a man sent 
 from God, whose name was 
 John. 
 
 The same came for a wit- 
 ness, to bear witness of the 
 Light, that all men through 
 Him might belieYe. 
 
 He was not that Light, 
 but was sent to bear witness 
 of that Light. 
 
 That was the true Light, 
 which lighteth every man 
 that cometh into the world. 
 
 He was in the world, and 
 the world was made by 
 Him, and the world knew 
 Him not. 
 
 He came unto His own. 
 
2 JESUS OF 
 
 and His own received Him 
 not. 
 
 But as many as received 
 Him, to them gave He 
 power to become the sons 
 of God, even to them that 
 believe on His name : 
 
 Which were born, not of 
 blood, nor of the will of 
 the flesh, nor of the will of 
 man, but of God. 
 
 And the Word was made 
 flesh, and dwelt among us, 
 I and we beheld His glory 
 the glory as of the only be- 
 gotten of the Father,) full 
 of grace and truth. 
 
 • John bare witness of 
 Him. and cried, saying, 
 This was He of whom I 
 spake. He that cometh 
 after me is preferred be- 
 fore me. 
 
 And of His fullness have 
 all we received, and grace 
 for grace. 
 
 For the law was given by 
 Moses, but grace and truth 
 came by Jesus Christ. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Xo man hath seen God 
 at any time ; the only be- 
 gotten Son, which is in the 
 bosom of the Father, He 
 hath declared Him. 
 
 Till'. ANNUNCIATION AND 
 CONCEPTION OF JOHN 
 THE BAPTIST. 
 
 • There was in the days 
 of Herod, the king of 
 Judea, a certain priest 
 named Zacharias, of the 
 course of Abia ; and his 
 wife was of the daughters 
 of Aaron, and her name 
 was Elisabeth. 
 
 And the}* were both 
 righteous before God, walk- 
 ing in all the command- 
 ments and ordinances of 
 the Lord blameless. 
 
 And they had no child, 
 because that Elisabeth was 
 bairen ; and they both were 
 now well stricken in years. 
 
 And it came to pass, 
 that, while he executed 
 the priest's office before 
 

 . . ." 
 The hill country of Judea. 
 
PASSF.TH BY. 
 
 God in the order of his 
 course. 
 
 According to the custom 
 of the priest's office, his lot 
 was to burn incense when 
 he went into the temple of 
 the Lord. 
 
 And the whole multitude 
 of the people were praying 
 without at the time of in- 
 cense. 
 
 And there appeared unto 
 him an angel of the Lord 
 standing on the right side 
 of the altar of incense. 
 
 And when Zacharias saw 
 him he was troubled and 
 fear fell upon him. 
 
 But the angel said unto 
 him, Fear not, Zacharias : 
 for thy prayer is heard ; 
 and thy wife Elisabeth 
 shall bear thee a son, and 
 thou shalt call his name 
 John. 
 
 And thou shalt have joy 
 and gladness ; and many 
 shall rejoice at his birth. 
 
 For he shall be great in 
 
 the sight of the Lord, and 
 shall drink neither wine 
 nor strong drink ; and he 
 shall be filled with the Holy 
 Ghost, even from h i s 
 mother's womb. 
 
 And many of the chil- 
 dren of Israel shall he turn 
 to the Lord their God. 
 
 And he shall go before 
 Him in the spirit and 
 power of Elias, to turn the 
 hearts of the fathers to the 
 children, and the disobe- 
 dient to the wisdom of the 
 just ; to make ready a peo- 
 ple prepared for the Lord. 
 
 And Zacharias said unto 
 the angel, Whereby shall I 
 know this ? for I am an old 
 man, and my wife well 
 stricken in years. 
 
 And the angel answering 
 said unto him, I am Ga- 
 briel, that stand in the 
 presence of God ; and am 
 sent to speak unto thee, 
 and to shew thee these 
 glad tidings. 
 
6 JESUS OF 
 
 And, behold, thou shalt 
 be dumb, and not able to 
 speak, until the day that 
 these things shall be per- 
 formed, because thou be- 
 lievest not my words, which 
 shall be fulfilled in their 
 season. 
 
 And the people waited 
 for Zacharias, and mar- 
 velled that he tarried so 
 long in the temple. 
 
 And when he came out, 
 he could not speak unto 
 them : and they perceived 
 that he had seen a vision in 
 the temple ; for he beck- 
 oned unto them and re- 
 mained speechless. 
 
 And it came to pass, that, 
 as soon as the days of his 
 ministration were accom- 
 plished, he departed to his 
 own house. 
 
 And after those days his 
 wife Elisabeth conceived, 
 and hid herself five months, 
 saying, 
 
 Thus hath the Lord dealt 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 with me in the days wherein 
 he looked on me to take 
 away my reproach among 
 men. 
 
 THE ANNUNCIATION T< ) 
 MARY. 
 
 And in the sixth month 
 the angel Gabriel was sent 
 from God unto a city 
 of Galilee, named Naza- 
 reth. 
 
 To a virgin espoused to a 
 man whose name was Jo- 
 seph, of the house of David ; 
 and the virgin's name 7vas 
 Mary. 
 
 And the angel came in 
 unto her, and said, Hail, 
 thou that art highly favored, 
 the Lord is with thee : 
 blessed art thou among 
 women. 
 
 And when she saw him 
 she was troubled at his say- 
 ing, and cast in her mind 
 what manner of salutation 
 this should be. 
 
 And the angel said unto 
 
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary ; for thou hast found favor 
 
 with God. 
 
her, Fear not, Mary ; for 
 thou hast found favor with 
 God. 
 
 And, behold, thou shalt 
 conceive in thy womb, 
 and bring forth a son, 
 and shalt call his name 
 JESUS. 
 
 He shall be great, and 
 shall be called the Son of 
 the Highest ; and the Lord 
 God shall give unto Him 
 the throne of His father 
 David. 
 
 And He shall reign over 
 the house of Jacob for ever ; 
 and of His kingdom there 
 shall be no end. 
 
 Then said Mary unto the 
 angel, How shall this 
 be, seeing I know not a 
 man ? 
 
 And the angel answered 
 and said unto her, The 
 Holy Ghost shall come 
 upon thee, and the power 
 of the Highest shall over- 
 shadow thee ; therefore also 
 that holy thing which shall 
 
 PASSETH BY. 9 
 
 be born of thee shall be 
 called the Son of God. 
 
 And, behold, thy cousin 
 Elisabeth, she hath also 
 conceived a son in her old 
 age ; and this is the sixth 
 month with her, who was 
 called barren. 
 
 For with God nothing 
 shall be impossible. 
 
 And Mary said, Behold 
 the handmaid of the Lord ; 
 be it unto me according to 
 thy word. And the angel 
 departed from her. 
 
 And Mary arose in those 
 days, and went into the hill 
 country with haste, into a 
 city of Judea. 
 
 And entered into the 
 house of Zacharias, and 
 saluted Elisabeth. 
 
 And it came to pass, that, 
 when Elisabeth heard the 
 salutation of Mar}-, the 
 babe leaped in her womb ; 
 and Elisabeth was filled 
 with the Holy Ghost. 
 
 And she spake out with 
 
JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 voice, and said, 
 
 among 
 
 a loud 
 
 Blessed at thou 
 women, and blessed is the 
 fruit of thy womb. 
 
 And whence u this to 
 me, that the mother of my 
 Lord should come to me ? 
 
 For, lo, as soon as the 
 voice of thy salutation 
 sounded in mine ears, the 
 babe leaped in my womb 
 for joy. 
 
 And blessed is she that 
 believed : for there shall be 
 a performance of those 
 things which were told her 
 from the Lord. 
 
 And Mary said, My soul 
 doth magnify the Lord. 
 
 And my spirit hath re- 
 joiced in God my Savior. 
 
 For He hath regarded 
 the low estate of His 
 handmaiden : for behold, 
 from henceforth all gen- 
 erations shall call me 
 blessed. 
 
 For He that is mighty 
 hath done to me great 
 
 things ; and holy is His 
 name. 
 
 And His mercy is on 
 them that fear Him from 
 generation to generation. 
 
 He hath shewed strength 
 with His arm ; He hath 
 scattered the proud in the 
 imagination of their hearts. 
 
 He hath put down the 
 mighty from their seats, and 
 exalted them of low degree. 
 
 He hath filled the hun- 
 gry with good things ; and 
 the rich He hath sent empty 
 away. 
 
 He has holpen His ser- 
 vant Israel, in remembrance 
 of His mere}'. 
 
 As He spake to our 
 fathers, to Abraham, and 
 to his seed for ever. 
 
 And Mary abode with 
 her about three months, 
 and returned to her own 
 house.

 time came that she should be

 delivered ; and she brought 
 forth a son. 
 
 And her neighbors and 
 her cousins heard how the 
 Lord had shewed great 
 mercy upon her ; and they 
 rejoiced with her. 
 
 And it came to pass, that 
 on the eighth day they 
 came to circumcise the 
 child ; and they called him 
 Zacharias, after the name 
 of his father. 
 
 And his mother answered 
 and said, Not so ; but he 
 shall be called John. 
 
 And they said unto her : 
 There is none of thy kin- 
 dred that is called by this 
 name. 
 
 And the}- made signs to 
 his father, how he would 
 have him called. 
 
 And he asked for a writ- 
 ing table, and wrote, say- 
 ing, His name is John. 
 And thej T marvelled all. 
 
 And his m o u t h was 
 opened immediately, and I 
 
 his tongue loosed, and he 
 spake and praised God. 
 And fear came on all that 
 dwelt round about them : 
 and all these sayings were 
 noised abroad throughout 
 all the hill country of 
 Judea. 
 
 And all they that heard 
 them laid them up in their 
 hearts, saying, What man- 
 ner of child shall this be ! 
 And the hand of the Lord 
 was with him. 
 
 And his father Zacharias 
 
 was filled with the Holy 
 
 Ghost, and prophesied, say- 
 
 inp" 
 xxx & > 
 
 Blessed be the Lord God 
 of Israel ; for He hath vis- 
 ited and redeemed His 
 people, 
 
 And hath raised up a horn 
 of salvation for us in the 
 house of His servant David ; 
 
 As He spake hy the 
 mouth of His holy prophets, 
 which have been since the 
 world began. 
 
•4 JESUS OF 
 
 That we should be saved 
 from our enemies, and from 
 the hand of all that hate us ; 
 
 To perform the mercy 
 promised 'to our fathers, and 
 to remember His holy cove- 
 nant. 
 
 The oath which He sware 
 to our father Abraham, 
 
 That He would grant 
 unto us, that we, being de- 
 livered out of the hands of 
 our enemies, might serve 
 Him without fear. 
 
 In holiness and righteous- 
 ness before Him, all the 
 days of our life. 
 
 And thou, child, shalt be 
 called the prophet of the 
 Highest : for thou shalt go 
 before the face of the Lord 
 to prepare His way ; 
 
 To give knowledge of sal- 
 vation unto His people by 
 the remission of their sins, 
 
 Through the tender 
 mercy of our God ; whereby 
 the day spring from on high 
 hath visited us, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 To give light to them that 
 sit in darkness and in the 
 shadow of death, to guide 
 our feet into the way of 
 peace. 
 
 And the child grew, and 
 waxed strong in spirit, and 
 was in the deserts till the 
 day of his shewing unto 
 Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE I N C A R N A T I O N OF 
 CHRIST. 
 
 NOW the birth of Jesus 
 Christ was on this 
 wise : When as His mother 
 Mary was espoused to Jo- 
 seph, before they came 
 together, she was found 
 with child of the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 Then Joseph her hus- 
 band, being a just man, and 
 not willing to make her a 
 public example, was minded 
 to put her away privily. 
 
 But while he thought on 
 these things, behold, the

 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. 
 
 And she shall bring forth 
 a son, and thou shalt call 
 His name JESUS : for He 
 shall save His people from 
 their sins. 
 
 Now all this was done, 
 that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken of the 
 Lord by the prophet, say- 
 ing 
 
 ' ' Behold, a virgin shall 
 be with child, and bring 
 forth a son, and they shall 
 call His name Emanuel, 
 which, being interpreted is, 
 God with us. 
 
 Then Joseph being raised 
 from sleep did as the angel 
 of the Lord had bidden 
 him, and took unto himself 
 his wife. 
 
 And knew her not till 
 she had brought forth her 
 firstborn son : and he called 
 His name JESUS. 
 
 And it came to pass in 
 those days, that there went 
 out a decree from Caesar 
 Augustus, that all the 
 world should be taxed. 
 
 {And this taxing was first 
 made when Cyrenius was 
 governor of Syria.) 
 
 And all went to be taxed, 
 every one into his own 
 city. 
 
 And Joseph also went up 
 from Galilee, out of the city 
 of Nazareth, into Judea, 
 unto the city of David, 
 which is called Bethlehem, 
 (because he was of the house 
 and lineage of David.) 
 
 To be taxed with Mary, 
 his expoused wife, beiug 
 great with child. 
 
 And so it was, that, while 
 they were there, the days 
 were accomplished that she 
 should be delivered. 
 
,8 JESUS OF 
 
 And she brought forth her 
 first born son, and wrapped 
 Him in swaddling clothes 
 and laid Him in a manger ; 
 because there was no room 
 for them in the inn. 
 
 And there were in the 
 same country shepherds 
 abiding in the field, keeping 
 watch over their flock by 
 night. 
 
 And, lo, the angel of the 
 Lord came unto them, and 
 the glory of the Lord shone 
 round about them; and they 
 were sore afraid. 
 
 And the angel said unto 
 them, Fear not; for, behold, 
 I bring you tidings of great 
 joy, which shall be to all 
 people. 
 
 Foi unto you is born this 
 clay in the city of David a 
 Saviour, which is Christ the 
 Lord. 
 
 And this shall be a sign 
 unto 3'ou; Ye shall find the 
 babe wrapped in swaddling 
 clothes, lying in a manger. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And suddenly there was 
 with the angel a multitude 
 of the heavenly host prais- 
 ing God, and saying, 
 
 Glory to God in the high- 
 est, and on earth peace, 
 good will toward men. 
 
 And it came to pass, as 
 the angels were gone away 
 from them into heaven, the 
 shepherds said one to 
 another, Let us now go even 
 unto Bethlehem, and see 
 this thing which is come to 
 pass, which the Lord has 
 made known unto us. 
 
 And they came with haste 
 and found Mary and Joseph, 
 and the babe lying in a 
 manger. 
 
 And when they had seei) 
 *'/, they made known abroad 
 the saying which was told 
 them, concerning this child. 
 
 And all they that heard 
 it wondered at those things 
 which were told them by 
 the shepherds. 
 
 But Mary kept all these

 things, and pondered them 
 in her heart. 
 
 And the shepherds re- 
 turned, gloryifying a n d 
 praising God for all the 
 things that they had heard 
 and seen, as it was told unto 
 them. 
 
 And when eight days 
 were accomplished for the 
 circumcising of the child, 
 His name was called J KSUS, 
 which was so named of the 
 angel before He was con- 
 ceived in the womb. 
 
 And when the days of her 
 purification according to the 
 law of Moses were accom- 
 plished, they brought Him 
 to Jerusalem, to present Him 
 to the Lord. 
 
 (As it is written in the law 
 of the Lord, Every male 
 that openeth the womb 
 shall be called holy to the 
 Lord ; ) 
 
 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. ' ' 
 
 SIMEON. 
 
 And, behold, there was a 
 man in Jerusalem, whose 
 name was Simeon ; and the 
 same man was just and de- 
 vout, waiting for the conso- 
 lation of Israel ; and the 
 Holy Ghost, was upon him. 
 
 And it was revealed unto 
 him by the Holy Ghost, 
 that he should not see death, 
 before he had seen the 
 Lord's Christ. 
 
 And he came by the Spirit 
 into the temple ; and when 
 the parents brought in the 
 child Jesus, to do for Him 
 after the custom of the law, 
 
 Then took he Him up in 
 his arms, and blessed God, 
 and said, 
 
 Lord, now lettest thy ser- 
 vant depart in peace, accord- 
 ing to thy word : 
 
 For mine eyes have seen 
 thy salvation, 
 
22 JESUS OF 
 
 Which thou hast prepared 
 before the face of all people ; 
 
 A light to lighten the 
 Gentiles, and the glory of 
 ' thy people Israel. 
 
 And Joseph and His 
 mother marveled at those 
 tilings which were spoken 
 of Him. 
 
 And Simeon blessed them, 
 and said unto Mary His 
 Mother, Behold, this child 
 is set for the fall and rising 
 again of many in Israel ; 
 and for a sign which shall 
 be spoken against ; 
 
 (Yea, a sword shall pierce 
 through thy own soul also ; ) 
 that the thoughts of many 
 hearts may be revealed. 
 
 ANNA. 
 
 And there was one Anna, 
 a prophetess, the daughter 
 of Phanuel, of the tribe of 
 Aser ; she was of great age, 
 and had lived with an hus- 
 band seven years from her 
 virginity ; 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And she was a widow of 
 about fourscore and four 
 years, which departed not 
 from the temple, but served 
 6Wwith fastings and pray- 
 ers night and day. 
 
 And she coming in that 
 instant gave thanks like- 
 wise unto the Lord, and 
 .spake of Him to all them 
 that looked for redemption 
 in Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 THE STAR IN THE EAST 
 
 NOW when Jesus was 
 born in Bethlehem of 
 Judea in the days of Herod 
 the king, behold, there came 
 wise men from the east to 
 Jerusalem, 
 
 Saying, Where is He 
 that is born King of 
 the Jews? for we have 
 seen His star in the east, 
 and are come to worship 
 Him. 
 
 When Herod the king

 was troubled, and all Jeru- 
 salem with him. 
 
 And when he had gath- 
 ered all the chief priests 
 and scribes of the people 
 together, he demanded of 
 them where Christ should 
 be born. 
 
 And they said unto him, 
 In Bethlehem of Judea : 
 for thus it is written by the 
 prophet, 
 
 " And thou Bethlehem, 
 in the land of Juda, art not 
 the least among the princes 
 of Juda, for out of thee 
 shall come a Governor that 
 shall rule my people Israel. ' ' 
 
 Then Herod, when he 
 had privily called the wise 
 men, inquired of them dili- 
 gently what time the star 
 appeared. 
 
 And he sent them to Beth- 
 lehem, and said, Go and 
 search diligently for the 
 young child : and when ye 
 have found Him i bring me 
 the word again, that I may 
 
 come and worship Him 
 also. 
 
 When they had heard the 
 king, they departed ; and 
 lo, the star which they saw 
 in the east, went before 
 them, till it came and stood 
 over where the young child 
 was. 
 
 When they saw the star 
 they rejoiced with exceed- 
 ing great joy. 
 
 And when they had come 
 into the house, they saw 
 the young child with Mary 
 His mother, and fell down 
 and worshipped Him : and 
 when they had opened their 
 treasures, they presented 
 unto Him gifts ; gold, and 
 frankincense, and myrrh. 
 
 And being warned of 
 God in a dream that they 
 should not return to Herod, 
 they departed into their 
 own country another way. 
 
 And when they were de- 
 parted, behold, the angel 
 of the Lord appeared to 
 
3 o JESUS OF 
 
 Joseph in a dream, saying, 
 Arise, and take the young 
 child and His mother and 
 flee into Egypt, and be 
 thou there until I bring 
 thee word : for Herod will 
 seek the young child to de- 
 stroy Him. 
 
 When he arose, he took 
 the young child and his 
 mother by night ; and de- 
 parted into Egypt. 
 
 And was there until the 
 death of Herod : that it 
 might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken of the Lord by the 
 prophet, saying, "Out of 
 Egypt have I called my 
 son." 
 
 Then Herod, when he 
 saw that he was mocked 
 of the wise men, was 
 exceeding worth, and sent 
 forth, and slew all the 
 children that were in Beth- 
 lehem, and in all the coasts 
 thereof, from two years old 
 and under, according to the 
 time which he had diligently 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 inquired of the wise 
 men. 
 
 Then was fulfilled that 
 which was spoken by Jeremy 
 the prophet, saying, 
 
 In Rama was there a voice 
 heard, lamentation, and 
 weeping, and great mourn- 
 ing, Rachel weeping for her 
 children, and would not be 
 comforted, because they are 
 not. 
 
 But when Herod was 
 dead, behold, an angel of 
 the Lord appeareth in a 
 dream to Joseph in Egypt, 
 
 Saying, Arise, and take 
 the young child and His 
 mother, and go into the 
 land of Israel. 
 
 But when he heard that 
 Archelaus did reign in Judea 
 in the room of his father 
 Herod, he was afraid to go 
 thither : notwithstanding, 
 being warned of God in a 
 dream, he turned aside into 
 the parts of Galilee : 
 
 And he came and dwelt 
 
The departure into Egypt. 
 
"In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great 
 
 mourning."

 And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject 
 unto them : but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 in a city called Nazareth ; 
 that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by the 
 prophets, "He shall he- 
 called a Nazarene. ' ' 
 
 And the child grew, and 
 waxed strong in spirit, filled 
 with wisdom ; and the grace 
 of God was upon Him. 
 
 Now His parents went to 
 Jerusalem every year at the 
 feast of the passover. 
 
 And when He was twelve 
 years old, they went up to 
 Jerusalem after the custom 
 of the feast. 
 
 And when they had ful- 
 filled the days, and as they 
 returned, the child Jesus 
 tarried behind in Jerusalem 
 and Joseph and His mother 
 knew not of it. 
 
 But they, supposing Him 
 to have been in the com- 
 pany, went a day's journey ; 
 and they sought Him among 
 their kinsfolk and acquaint- 
 ance. 
 
 And when thev found 
 
 43 
 
 Him not, they turned back 
 again to Jerusalem, seeking 
 Him. 
 
 And it came to pass, that 
 after three days they found 
 Him in the temple, sitting in 
 the midst of the doctors, 
 both hearing them, and 
 asking them questions. 
 
 And all that heard Him 
 were astonished at His 
 understanding and answers. 
 
 And when they saw Him, 
 they were amazed ; and His 
 mother said unto Him, Son, 
 why hast thou thus dealt 
 with us ? behold, thy father 
 and I have sought thee 
 sorrowing. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 How is it that ye sought 
 me ? wist ye not that I must 
 be about my Father's busi- 
 ness? 
 
 And they understood not 
 the saying which He spake 
 unto them. 
 
 And He went down with 
 them, and came to Naza- 
 
44 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 reth, and was subject unto 
 them ; but His mother kept 
 all these sayings in her 
 heart. 
 
 And Jesus increased in 
 wisdom and stature, and in 
 favour with God and man. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 JOHN THE BAPTIST. 
 
 NOW in the fifteenth 
 year of the reign of 
 Tiberius Csesar, Pontius 
 Pilate, being governor of 
 Judea, and Herod being 
 tetrarch of Galilee, and his 
 brother Philip tetrarch of 
 Iturea and of the region of 
 Trachonitis, and Eysanias 
 the tetrarch of Abilene. 
 
 Annas and Caiaphas be- 
 ing the high priests, the 
 word of God came unto 
 John the son of Zacharias 
 in the wilderness. 
 
 And he came into all the 
 country about Jordan, 
 
 preaching the baptism of 
 repentance for the remission 
 of sins ; saying, Repent ye ; 
 for the kingdom of heaven 
 is at hand. 
 
 For this is He who was 
 spoken of by the prophet 
 Esaias, saying, ' ' The voice 
 of one crying in the wilder- 
 ness, Prepare ye the way of 
 the Lord, make His paths 
 straight. 
 
 ' ' Every valley shall be 
 filled, and ever}- mountain 
 and hill shall be brought 
 low ; and the crooked shall 
 be made straight, and the 
 rough ways shall be made 
 smooth ; 
 
 ' ' And all flesh shall see 
 the salvation of God." 
 
 And the same John had 
 his raiment of camel's hair, 
 and a leathern girdle about 
 his loins ; and his meat was 
 locusts and wild honey. 
 
 And there went out unto 
 him all the land of Judea, 
 and they of Jerusalem, and 
 
"The Voice of one crying in the wilderness." 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 ill the region round about 
 Jordan, and were all bap- 
 tized of him in the river of 
 Jordan, confessing theit 
 sins. 
 
 But when he saw many 
 of the Pharisees and Sad- 
 ducees come to his baptism, 
 he said unto them, O gene- 
 ration of vipers, who hath 
 warned you to flee from the 
 wrath to come ? 
 
 Bring fort h therefore 
 fruits meet for repentance : 
 
 a.ij.J think not to say 
 within yourselves, we have 
 Abraham to our father : for 
 [ say unto you, that God is 
 able of these stones to raise 
 Lip children unto Abraham. 
 
 And now also the axe is 
 Laid unto the root of the 
 trees : therefore every tree 
 which briugeth not forth 
 yood fruit is hewn down 
 ind cast into the fire. 
 
 And the people asked 
 lim, saying, What shall we 
 :lo then ? 
 
 47 
 
 He answereth and saitb 
 unto them, He that hath two 
 coats, let him impart to him 
 that hath none ; and he 
 that hath meat, let him do 
 likewise. 
 
 Then came also publicans 
 to be baptized, and said 
 unto him, Master, what 
 shall we do ? 
 
 And he said unto them, 
 Exact no more than that 
 which is appointed you. 
 
 And the soldiers likewise 
 demanded of him, saying, 
 And what shall we do? 
 And he said unto them, Do 
 violence to no man, neither 
 accuse any falsely ; and be 
 content with your wages. 
 
 And as the people were 
 in expectation, and all men 
 mused in their hearts of 
 John, whether he were the 
 Christ, or not ; 
 
 John answered, saying 
 unto them all, I indeed 
 baptize y o u with water 
 unto repentance ; but there 
 
4 8 JESUS OF 
 
 cometh one mightier than I 
 after me, the latehet of 
 whose shoes I am not 
 worth}- to stoop down and 
 unloose. 
 
 I indeed have baptized 
 you with water : but He 
 shall baptize you with the 
 Holy Ghost, and with fire. 
 
 Whose fan is in His hand, 
 and He will thoroughly 
 purge His floor, and gather 
 His wheat into the garner ; 
 but He will burn up the 
 chaff with unquenchable 
 fire. 
 
 And many other things 
 in his exhortation preached 
 he unto the people. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 THE BAPTISM AND TEMPTA- 
 TION OF JESUS. 
 
 AND Jesus himself began 
 to be about thirty 
 years of age, being (as was 
 supposed) the son of Joseph. 
 Then cometh Jesus from 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Galilee to Jordan unto John, 
 to be baptized of him. 
 
 But John forbade Him, 
 saying, I have need to be 
 baptized of thee, and comest 
 thou to me ? 
 
 And Jesus answering said 
 unto him, Suffer it to be so 
 now : for thus it becometh 
 us to fulfil all righteousness. 
 Then he suffered Him. 
 
 And Jesus, when He was 
 baptized, went up straight- 
 way out of the water : and, 
 lo, the heavens were opened 
 unto Him, and He saw the 
 Spirit of God descending 
 like a dove, and lighting 
 upon Him : 
 
 And lo a voice from 
 heaven, saying, this is my 
 beloved Son, in whom I am 
 well pleased. 
 
 And Jesus being full of 
 the Holy Ghost returned 
 from Jordan, and was led 
 by the Spirit into the wilder- 
 ness. 
 
 Being forty da}-s tempted 
 
The Temptation. 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 of the devil. And in those 
 days He did eat nothing : 
 
 3» 
 
 and when they were ended, 
 He afterward hungered. 
 
 And the devil said unto 
 Him, If thou be the Son of 
 God, command this stone 
 that it be made bread. 
 
 And Jesus answered him, 
 saying, It is written, That 
 man shall not live by bread 
 alone, but by every word of 
 God. 
 
 And the devil, taking Him 
 up into a high mountain, 
 shewed unto him all the 
 kingdoms of the world in a 
 moment of time. 
 
 And the devil said unto 
 Him, All this power will I 
 give thee, and the glory of 
 them ; for that is delivered 
 unto me ; and to whomso- 
 ever I will, I give it. 
 
 If thou therefore wilt wor- 
 ship me, all shall be thine. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, Get thee be- 
 
 written, Thou shalt wor- 
 ship the Lord thy God, 
 and Him only shalt thou 
 serve. 
 
 And he brought Him to 
 Jerusalem, and set Him on 
 a pinnacle of the temple, 
 and said unto Him, If thou 
 be the Son of God, cast thy- 
 self down from hence : 
 
 For it is written, He 
 shall give His angels charge 
 over thee, to keep thee : 
 
 And in their hands they 
 shall bear thee up, lest at 
 any time thou dash thy foot 
 against a stone. 
 
 And Jesus answering said 
 unto him, It is said, Thou 
 shalt not tempt the Lord 
 thy God. 
 
 And when the devil had 
 ended all the temptation, 
 he departed from Him for a 
 season, and, behold, angels 
 came and ministered unto 
 Him. 
 
 From that time Jesus 
 
 hind me, Satan : for it is began to preach , and tu 
 
52 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 say, Repent, for the king- 
 dom of heaven is at hand. 
 
 ^[ In those days John did 
 baptize in the wilderness, 
 and bare witness of Him, 
 and cried, saying, This was 
 He of whom I spake, He 
 that cometh after me is pre- 
 ferred before me ; for He 
 was before me. 
 
 And of His fulness have 
 all we received, and grace 
 for grace. 
 
 For the law was given 
 by Moses, but grace and 
 truth came by Jesus 
 Christ. 
 
 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. 
 
 And this is the record of 
 John, when the Jews sent 
 priests and Eevites from 
 Jerusalem to ask him, Who 
 art thou ? 
 
 And he confessed and de- 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 nied not ; but confessed, I 
 am not the Christ. 
 
 And they asked him, 
 What then? Art thou 
 Elias? And he saith, I 
 am not. Art thou that 
 Prophet ? And he an- 
 swered, No. 
 
 Then said they unto him, 
 Who art thou? that we 
 may give an answer to them 
 that sent us. What sayest 
 thou of thyself? 
 
 He said, I am " the voice 
 of one crying in the wilder- 
 ness, Make straight the 
 way of the Lord ? " as said 
 the prophet Esaias. 
 
 And they which were 
 sent were of the Pharisees ; 
 and they asked him, and 
 said unto him, why bap- 
 tizest thou then, if thou be 
 not that Christ, nor Elias, 
 neither that Prophet ? 
 
 John answered them, say- 
 ing, I baptize with water : 
 but there standeth one 
 among you, whom ye know 
 
Then the devil leaveth Him, ;ind, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him. 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 55 
 
 not : He it is, who coining 
 after me is preferred be- 
 fore me, whose shoe's 
 latchet I am not worthy to 
 unloose. 
 
 These things were done 
 in B e t h a b a r a beyond 
 Jordan, where John was 
 baptizing. 
 
 The next day John seeth 
 Jesus coming unto him, and 
 saith, behold the Lamb of 
 God, which taketh away 
 the sin of the world ! 
 
 This is He of whom I 
 said, After me cometh a 
 man which is preferred be- 
 fore me ; for He was before 
 me. 
 
 And I knew Him not : 
 but that He should be made 
 manifest to Israel, therefore 
 am I come baptizing with 
 water. 
 
 And John bare record, 
 saying, I saw the Spirit de- 
 scending from heaven like 
 a dove, and it abode upon 
 Him. 
 
 And T knew 1 1 i in not : 
 lint He that sent me to bap- 
 tize with water, the same 
 said unto me, Upon whom 
 thou shalt see the Spirit de- 
 scending, and remaining on 
 Him, the same is He which 
 baptizeth with the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 And I saw, and bare re- 
 cord that this is the Sou of 
 God. 
 
 Again the next day after, 
 John stood, and two of his 
 disciples : 
 
 And looking upon Jesus 
 as He walked, he saith, Be- 
 hold the Lamb of God ! 
 
 And the two disciples 
 heard him speak, and they 
 followed Jesus. 
 
 Then Jesus turned, and 
 saw them following, and 
 saith unto them, What seek 
 ye ? They said unto Him, 
 Rabbi, (which is to say, be- 
 i n g interpreted, Master) 
 where dwellest thou ? 
 
 He saith unto them, 
 
56 JESUS OF 
 
 Come and see. They came 
 and saw where He dwelt, 
 and abode with Him that 
 day ; for it was about the 
 tenth hour. 
 
 One of the two which 
 heard John speak, and fol- 
 lowed Him, was Andrew, 
 Simon Peter's brother. 
 
 He first findeth his own 
 brother Simon, and saith 
 unto him, We have found 
 the Messiah, which is, being 
 interpreted, the Christ. 
 
 And he brought him to 
 Jesus. And when Jesus be- 
 held him, He said, Thou 
 art Simon, the son of Jona : 
 thou shalt be called Cephas, 
 which is by interpretation, 
 a stone. 
 
 ^[ The day following Jesus 
 would go forth into Galilee, 
 and findeth Philip, a n d 
 saith unto him, Follow me. 
 
 Now Philip was of Beth- 
 saida, the city of Andrew 
 and Peter. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Philip findeth Nathanael, 
 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 Jo- 
 seph. 
 
 And Nathanael said unto 
 him, Can there any good 
 thing come out of Naza- 
 reth? Philip saith unto 
 him, Come and see. 
 
 Jesus saw Nathanael com- 
 ing to Him, and saith of 
 him, Behold an Israelite 
 indeed, in whom is no 
 guile ! 
 
 Nathanael saith unto 
 Him, Whence knowest thou 
 me? Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, Before that 
 Philip called thee, when 
 thou wast under the fig 
 tree, I saw thee. 
 
 Nathanael answered and 
 .saith unto Him, Rabbi, 
 thou art the King of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 Jesus answered and said

 O 
 
PASSFTH 
 
 unto him, Because T said 
 unto thee, I saw thee under 
 the fig tree, believest thou ? 
 thou shalt see greater things 
 than these. 
 
 And he saith unto him, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, Hereafter ye shall see 
 heaven open , and the angels 
 of God ascending and de- 
 scending upon the Son of 
 Man. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 CHRIST AT THE MAR- 
 RIAGE FEAST IN CANA. 
 
 A 
 
 ND the third day there 
 was a marriage in 
 Cana of Galilee : and the 
 mother of Jesus was there : 
 
 And both Jesus was 
 called, and His disciples to 
 the marriage. 
 
 And when they wanted 
 wine, the mother of Jesus 
 saith unto Him, They have 
 no wine. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, 
 
 RY. 59 
 
 Woman, what have I to do 
 with thee? mine hour is not 
 yet come. 
 
 His mother saith unto the 
 servants, Whatsoever He 
 saith unto you, do it. 
 
 And there were set there 
 six water-pots of stone, after 
 the manner of the purify- 
 ing of the Jews, containing 
 two or three firkins apiece. 
 
 Jesus saith unto them, 
 Fill the water-pots with 
 water, and they filled them 
 up to the brim. 
 
 And He saith unto them, 
 Draw out now, and bear 
 unto the governor of the 
 feast. And they bare it. 
 
 When the ruler of the 
 feast had tasted the water 
 that was made wine, and 
 knew not whence it was, 
 ( but the servants which 
 drew the water knew,) the 
 governor of the feast called 
 the bridegroom, 
 
 And saith unto h i m , 
 Every man at the begin- 
 
6o 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 ning doth set forth good 
 wine ; and when men have 
 well drunk, then that which 
 is worse : but thou has kept 
 the good wine until now. 
 
 This beginning of mira- 
 cles did Jesus in Cana of 
 Galilee, and manifested 
 forth His glory ; and His 
 disciples believed on Him. 
 
 CLEARS THE TEMPLE. 
 
 • After this He went 
 down to Capernaum, He, 
 and His mother, and His 
 brethren, and His disciples ; 
 and they continued there 
 not many days. 
 
 And the Jews' passover 
 was at hand, and Jesus went 
 up to Jerusalem, 
 
 And found in the temple 
 those that sold oxen and 
 sheep and doves, and the 
 changers of money sitting : 
 
 And when He had made 
 a scourge of small cords, 
 He drove them all out of 
 the temple, and the sheep, 
 
 and the oxen ; and poured 
 out the changers' money, 
 and overthrew the tables ; 
 
 And said unto them that 
 sold doves, Take these 
 things hence ; make not my 
 Father's house a house of 
 merchandise. 
 
 And His disciples remem- 
 bered that it was written, 
 The zeal of thine house 
 hath eaten me up. 
 
 Then answered the Jews 
 and said unto Him, What 
 sign shewest thou unto us, 
 seeing that thou doest these 
 things ? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto them, Destroy this 
 temple, and in three days I 
 will raise it up. 
 
 Then said the Jews, Forty 
 and six years was this tem- 
 ple in building, and wilt 
 thou rear it up in three 
 days ? 
 
 But He spake of the tem- 
 ple of His body. 
 
 When therefore He was 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 risen from the dead, His 
 disciples remembered that 
 He had said this unto them ; 
 and they believed the Scrip- 
 ture, and the word which 
 Jesus had said. 
 
 Now, when He was in 
 Jerusalem at the passover, 
 in the feast-day, many be- 
 lieved in His name, when 
 they saw the miracles which 
 He did. 
 
 But Jesus did not commit 
 himself unto them, because 
 He knew all men, 
 
 And needed not that any 
 should testify of man : for 
 He knew what was in man. 
 
 63 
 
 THE NEW BIRTH. 
 
 There was a man of the 
 Pharisees, named N i c o- 
 demus, a ruler of the Jews : 
 
 The same came to Jesus 
 by night, and said unto 
 Him, Rabbi, we know that 
 thou art a teacher come 
 from God : for no man can 
 do these miracles that thou 
 
 doest, except God be with 
 him. 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto him, Verily, verily, 
 I say unto thee, Except a 
 man be born again, he can- 
 not see the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 Nicodemus said unto Him 
 How can a man be born 
 when he is old ? can he 
 enter the second time into 
 his mother's womb and be 
 born ? 
 
 Jesus answered, Verily, 
 verily, I say unto thee, 
 Except a man be born of 
 water and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 That which is born of 
 the flesh is flesh ; and that 
 which is born of the Spirit 
 is spirit. 
 
 Marvel not that I said 
 unto thee, Ye must be 
 born again. 
 
 The wind bloweth where 
 it listeth, and thou hearest 
 
64 JESUS OF 
 
 the sound thereof, but canst 
 not tell whence it cometh, 
 and whither it goeth : so is 
 every one that is born of 
 the Spirit. 
 
 Nicodemus answered and 
 said unto Him, How can 
 these things be ? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto him, Art thou a master 
 of Israel, and knowest not 
 these things? 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 thee, We speak that we do 
 know, and testify that we 
 have seen ; and ye receive 
 not our witness. 
 
 If I have told you earthly 
 things, and ye believe 
 not, how shall ye believe, 
 if I tell you of heavenly 
 things ? 
 
 A n d n o man hath 
 ascended up to heaven, but 
 tie that came down from 
 heaven, even the Son of man 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 And as Moses lifted up 
 the serpent in the wilderness 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 even so must the Son of 
 man be lifted up : 
 
 That whosoever believeth 
 in Him should not perish, 
 but have eternal life. 
 
 For God so loved the 
 world, that He gave His 
 only begotten Son, that 
 whosoever believeth in Him 
 should not perish, but have 
 everlasting life. 
 
 For God sent not His 
 Son into the world to con- 
 demn the world ; but that 
 the world through Him 
 might be saved. 
 
 He that believeth on Him 
 is not condemned : but he 
 that believeth not is con- 
 demned already, because 
 He hath not believed in the 
 name of the only begotten 
 Son of God. 
 
 And this is the condem- 
 nation, that light has come 
 into the world, and men 
 loved darkness rather than 
 light, because their deeds 
 were evil.

 For every one that doeth 
 evil hateth the light, nei- 
 ther conieth to the light, 
 lest his deeds should be re- 
 proved. 
 
 But he that doeth truth 
 cometh to the light, that 
 his deeds may be made 
 manifest, that they are 
 wrought in God. 
 
 % After these things 
 came Jesus and His dis- 
 ciples into the land of 
 Judea ; and there He tar- 
 ried with them, and bap- 
 tized. 
 
 And John also was bap- 
 tizing in Enon near to Sa- 
 lim, because there was much 
 water there : and they came 
 and were baptized. 
 
 For John was not yet cast 
 into prison. 
 
 Then there arose a ques- 
 tion between some of John's 
 disciples and the Jews about 
 purifying. 
 
 And they came unto John, 
 
 and said unto him, Rabbi, 
 He that was with thee be- 
 yond Jordan, to whom thou 
 bearest witness, behold, the 
 same baptizeth, and all men 
 come to Him. 
 
 John answered and said, 
 A man can receive nothing, 
 except it be given him from 
 heaven . 
 
 Ye yourselves bear me 
 witness, that I said, I am 
 not the Christ, but that I 
 am sent before Him. 
 
 He that hath the bride is 
 the bridegroom : but the 
 friend of the bridegroom, 
 which staudeth and heareth 
 him, rejoiceth greatly be- 
 cause of the bridegroom's 
 voice : this my joy therefore 
 is fulfilled. 
 
 He must increase, but I 
 must decrease. 
 
 He that cometh from 
 above is above all : he 
 that is of the earth is 
 earthly, a n d speaketh of 
 the earth : He that 
 
68 JESUS OF 
 
 cometh from heaven is 
 above all. 
 
 And what He hath seen 
 and heard, thatHetestifieth; 
 and no man reeeiveth His 
 testimony. 
 
 He that hath received 
 His testimony hath set to 
 his seal that God is true. 
 
 For He whom God hath 
 sent speaketh the words of 
 God : for God giveth not 
 the Spirit by measure unto 
 Him. 
 
 The Father loveth the 
 Son, and hath given all 
 things into His hand. 
 
 He that believeth on the 
 Son hath everlasting life : 
 and he that believeth not 
 the Son shall not see life ; 
 but the wrath of God 
 abideth on him. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 IN SAMARIA AND GALILEE. 
 
 HEROD the tetrarch, 
 being reproved by 
 John for Herodias his 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 brother Philip's wife, and 
 for all the evils which 
 Herod had done, added yet 
 this above all, that he shut 
 up John in prison. 
 
 When therefore the Lord 
 knew how the Pharisees 
 had heard that Jesus made 
 and baptized more disciples 
 than John, 
 
 ( Though Jesus Himself 
 baptized not, but His dis- 
 ciples,) and had heard that 
 John was cast into prison, 
 
 He left Judea, and de- 
 parted again into Galilee. 
 
 And He must needs go 
 through Samaria. 
 
 Then cometh He to a 
 city of Samaria, which is 
 called Sychar, near to the 
 parcel of ground that Jacob 
 gave to his son Joseph. 
 
 Xow Jacob's well was 
 there. Jesus, therefore, 
 being wearied with His jour- 
 ney , sat thus on the well : and 
 it was about the sixth hour. 
 
 There cometh a woman 
 
Then cometh He to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar.

 of Samaria to draw water : 
 Jesus saitli unto her, Give 
 me to drink. 
 
 (For His disciples were 
 gone away unto the 
 city to buy meat.) 
 
 Then saith the woman of 
 Samaria unto Him, How is 
 it that thou, being a Jew, 
 asketh drink of me, which 
 am a woman of Samaria ? 
 for the Jews have no deal- 
 ings with the Samaritans. 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto her, If thou knew est 
 the gift of God, and who it 
 is that saith to thee, Give 
 me to drink ; thou wouldest 
 have asked of Him, and 
 He would have given thee 
 living water. 
 
 The woman saith unto 
 Him, Sir, thou hast noth- 
 ing to draw with, and the 
 well is deep : from whence 
 then hast thou that living 
 water ? 
 
 Art thou greater than our 
 father Jacob, which gave 
 
 us the well, and drank 
 thereof himself, and his 
 children, and his cattle? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto her, Whosoever drink- 
 eth of this water shall 
 thirst again : 
 
 But whosoever drinketh 
 of the water that I shall give 
 him shall never thirst ; but 
 the water that I shall give 
 him shall be in him a well 
 of water springing up into 
 everlasting life. 
 
 The woman said unto Him 
 Sir, give me this water, 
 that I thirst not, neither 
 come hither to draw. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, Go, 
 call thy husband, and come 
 hither. 
 
 The woman answered and 
 said, I have no husband. 
 Jesus said unto her, Thou 
 hast well said, I have no 
 husband : 
 
 For thou hast had five 
 husbands ; and he whom 
 thou now T hast is not thy 
 
72 JESUS OF 
 
 husband : in that saidst 
 thou truly. 
 
 The woman said unto 
 Him, Sir, I perceive that 
 thou art a prophet. 
 
 Our fathers worshipped in 
 this mountain ; and ye say, 
 that in Jerusalem is the 
 place where men ought to 
 worship. 
 
 Jesus said unto her, 
 Woman, believe me, the 
 hour cometh, when ye shall 
 neither in this mountain, 
 nor yet at Jerusalem, wor- 
 ship the Father. 
 
 Ye worship ye know not 
 what : we know what we 
 worship ; for salvation is of 
 the Jews. 
 
 But the hour cometh, and 
 how is, when the true wor- 
 shippers shall worship the 
 Father in spirit and in 
 truth : for the Father 
 seeketh such to worship 
 Him. 
 
 God is a Spirit : and they 
 that worship Him must 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 worship Him in„ spirit and 
 in truth. 
 
 The woman saith unto 
 Him, I know that Messias 
 cometh, which is called 
 Christ : when He is come, 
 He will tell us all things. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, I 
 that speak unto thee am He. 
 
 And upon this came His 
 disciples, aud marvelled that 
 He talked with the woman : 
 yet no man said, What 
 seekest thou? or, Why 
 talkest thou with her ? 
 
 The woman then left her 
 water-pot, and went her 
 way into the city, and saith 
 to the men, 
 
 Come, see a man which 
 told me all things that ever 
 I did : is not this the 
 Christ ? 
 
 Then they went out of 
 the city, and came unto 
 Him. 
 
 In the meanwhile His 
 disciples prayed Him, say- 
 ing, Master, eat. 
 
'God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit 
 
 and in truth." 
 
PASSETI BY 
 
 But He said unto them, 
 I have meat to eat that ye 
 know not of. 
 
 Therefore said the dis- 
 ciples one to the other, 
 Hath any man brought 
 Him aught to eat? 
 
 Jesus saith unto them, 
 My meat is to do the will of 
 Him that sent me, and to 
 finish His work. 
 
 Say not ye, There are 
 yet four months, and then 
 cometh harvest? behold, I 
 say unto you, Lift up your 
 eyes, and look on the 
 fields ; for they are white 
 already to harvest. 
 
 And he that reapeth re- 
 ceiveth wages, and gather - 
 eth fruit unto life eternal : 
 that both he that soweth 
 and he that reapeth may 
 rejoice together. 
 
 And herein is that saying 
 true, One soweth, and 
 another reapeth. 
 
 I sent you to reap that 
 whereon ve bestowed no 
 
 75 
 
 labour : other men laboured, 
 and ye are entered into 
 their labours. 
 
 And many of the Sama- 
 ritans of that city believed 
 on Him for the saying 
 of the woman, which 
 testified, He told me all- 
 things that ever I did. 
 
 So when the Samaritans 
 were come unto Him, the)' 
 besought Him that H e 
 would tarry with them : 
 and He abode there two 
 days. 
 
 And many more believed 
 because of His own word ; 
 
 And said unto the 
 woman, Now we believe, 
 not because of thy saying : 
 for we have heard Him our- 
 selves, and know that this 
 is indeed the Christ, the 
 Saviour of the world. 
 
 ^| Now after two days 
 He departed thence, and 
 went into Galilee. 
 
 For Jesus himself testified 
 
76 JESUS OF 
 
 that a prophet hath no 
 honour in his own country. 
 
 Then when He was come 
 into Galilee, the Galileans 
 received Him, having seen 
 all the things that He did 
 at Jerusalem at the feast : 
 for they also went unto the 
 feast. 
 
 So Jesus came again into 
 Cana of Galilee, where He 
 made the water wine. And 
 there was a certain noble- 
 man, whose son was sick at 
 Capernaum . 
 
 When he heard that Jesus 
 was come out of Judea into 
 Galilee, he went unto Him, 
 and besought Him that he 
 would come down, and heal 
 his son ; for he was at the 
 point of death. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto him, 
 Except ye see signs and 
 wonders, }-e will not be- 
 lieve. 
 
 The nobleman saith unto 
 Him, Sir, come down ere 
 my child die. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, Go 
 thy way ; thy son liveth. 
 And the man believed the 
 word that Jesus had spoken 
 unto him, and he went his 
 way. 
 
 And as he was now going 
 down, his servants met 
 him, and told him, saying, 
 Thy son liveth. 
 
 Then inquired he of 
 them the hour when he be- 
 gan to amend. And they 
 said unto him, Yesterday 
 at the seventh hour the 
 fever left him. 
 
 So the father knew that 
 it was at the same hour, in 
 the which Jesus said unto 
 him, Thy son liveth : and 
 himself believed, and his 
 whole house. 
 
 This is again the second 
 miracle that Jesus did, when 
 
 He was come out of Judea 
 
 into Galilee. 
 
_ ■-■ - -V 
 
 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 HE BEGIXXKTII TO PREACH 
 
 AND Jesus returned in 
 the power of the Spirit 
 into Galilee : and there went 
 out a fame of Him through 
 all the region round about. 
 
 And He taught in their 
 synagogues, being glorified 
 of all. 
 
 And He came to Nazareth 
 where He had been brought 
 up : and as His custom was, 
 He went into the syna- 
 gogue on the sabbath 
 day, and stood up for to 
 read. 
 
 And there was delivered 
 unto Him the book of the 
 prophet Ksaias. And when 
 He had opened the book, 
 He found the place where 
 it was written, 
 
 "The spirit of the L,ord is 
 upon me, because He hath 
 anointed me to preach the 
 gospel to the poor ; He 
 hath sent me to heal the 
 
 BY. 19 
 
 broken-hearted, to preach 
 deliverance to the captives, 
 and recovering of sight 
 to the blind, to set at 
 liberty them that are 
 bruised. 
 
 ' To preach the accept- 
 able year of the Lord." 
 
 And He closed the book, 
 and He gave it again to the 
 minister, and sat down, 
 and the eyes of all them 
 that were in the syna- 
 gogue were fastened on 
 Him. 
 
 And He began to say 
 unto them, This day is this 
 Scripture fulfilled in your 
 ears. 
 
 And all bear Him wit- 
 ness, and wondered at the 
 gracious words which 
 proceeded out of His 
 mouth. 
 
 And were astonished, say- 
 ing, From whence hath chis 
 man these things? and what 
 wisdom is this which is 
 given unto Him, that even 
 
8o 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 such mighty works are 
 wrought by His hands ? 
 
 And they said, Is not this 
 the carpenter ? is not this 
 Joseph's son? the son of 
 Mary, the brother of James, 
 and Joses, and of Juda, and 
 Simon ? and are not His .sis- 
 ters here with us ? Whence 
 then hath this man all these 
 things ? And they were 
 offended in Him. 
 
 But Jesus said unto them, 
 A prophet is not without 
 honour, but in his own 
 country, and among his 
 own kin, and in his own 
 house. 
 
 ( And He could there do 
 no mighty work, because of 
 their unbelief, save that He 
 laid His hands upon a few 
 sick folk, and healed them. 
 And He marvelled because 
 of their unbelief.) 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Ye will surely say unto me 
 this proverb, Physician, 
 heal thyself : whatsoever 
 
 we have heard done in 
 Capernaum, do also here in 
 thy country. 
 
 And He said, Verily, I 
 say unto you, No prophet 
 is accepted in his own 
 country. 
 
 But I tell you of a truth, 
 many widows were in Is- 
 rael in the days of Elias, 
 when the heaven was shut 
 up three years and six 
 months, when great famine 
 was throughout all the land. 
 
 But unto none of them 
 was Elias sent, save unto 
 Sarepta, a oity of Sidon, 
 unto a woman that was a 
 widow. 
 
 And many lepers were in 
 Israel in the time of Eli- 
 seus the prophet : and none 
 of them was cleansed, sav- 
 ing Naaman the Syrian. 
 
 And all they in the syna- 
 gogue, when the}- heard 
 these things, were filled 
 with wrath. 
 
 And rose up, and thrust 
 
But He, passing through the midst of them, went His vn y. 
 
Him out of the city, and 
 led Him unto the brow of 
 the hill whereon their city 
 was built, that they might 
 cast Him down headlong. 
 
 But He, passing through 
 the midst of them, went 
 His way, and came and 
 dwelt in Capernaum, a city 
 of Galilee, which is upon 
 the sea coast, in the bor- 
 ders of Zebulon and Neph- 
 thalim, and taught them on 
 the Sabbath days. 
 
 That it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by 
 Esaias the prophet, saying, 
 
 "The land of Zebulon, 
 and the land of Nephtha- 
 lim, by the way of the sea, 
 beyond Jordan, Galilee of 
 the Gentiles ; 
 
 ' ' The people which sat in 
 darkness saw great light ; 
 and to them which sat 
 in the region and shadow 
 of death, light is sprung

 up. 
 
 And they were astonished 
 
 ^j And Jesus, walking by 
 the sea of Galilee, saw 
 Simon called Peter, and 
 Andrew his brother, casting 
 a net into the sea; for they 
 were fishers. 
 
 And He saith unto them, 
 Come ye after me, and I 
 will make you to become 
 fishers of men. And straight- 
 way they forsook their nets, 
 and followed Him. 
 
 And going on fro m 
 thence, He saw James the 
 son of Zebedee, and John 
 his brother, in a ship with 
 Zebedee their father, mend- 
 ing their nets ; 
 
 And straightway He 
 called them : and they 
 immediately left the ship 
 and their father Zebedee in 
 the ship with the hired 
 servants, and went after 
 Him. 
 
 And they went into Ca- 
 
84 JESUS OF 
 
 pernaum ; and straightway 
 on the sabbath day He 
 entered into the synagogue, 
 and taught. 
 
 And they were astonished 
 at His doctrine : for He 
 taught them as one that had 
 authority, and not as the 
 scribes. 
 
 HE CASTETH OUT DEVILS 
 
 And in the synagogue 
 there was a man , which had 
 a .spirit of an unclean devil, 
 and cried out with a loud 
 voice, 
 
 Saying, Let us alone; 
 what have we to do with 
 thee, thou Jesus of Naza- 
 reth ? art thou come to 
 destroy us? I know Thee 
 who thou art, the holy 
 one of God. 
 
 And Jesus rebuked him, 
 saying, Hold thy peace, and 
 come out of him. 
 
 And when the unclean 
 spirit had thrown him in the 
 midst, and had torn him, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 and cried with a loud voice, 
 he came out of him, and 
 hurt him not. 
 
 And they were all 
 amazed, and spake among 
 themselves, saying, What a 
 a word is this ! for with 
 authority and power He 
 commanded the unclean 
 spirits, and they come out. 
 
 And the fame of Him 
 went out into every place 
 of the country round about. 
 
 And He arose out of the 
 synagogue, and entered into 
 Simon's house. And Si- 
 mon's wife's mother was 
 taken with a great fever ; 
 and they besought Him for 
 her. 
 
 And He stood over her, 
 and rebuked the fever ; and 
 it left her : and immediately 
 she arose and ministered 
 unto them. 
 
 Now when the sun was 
 setting, all they that had 
 any sick with divers dis- 
 eases brought them unto 
 
"Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

 hands on every one of 
 them, and healed them. 
 
 And devils also came out 
 of many, crying out, and 
 saying, Thou art Christ trie 
 Sou of God. And He, re- 
 buking them, suffered them 
 not to speak : for they 
 knew that He was Christ. 
 
 And in the morning, ris- 
 ing up a great while before 
 day, He went out, and de- 
 parted into a solitary place, 
 and there prayed. 
 
 And Simon and they that 
 were with h i m followed 
 after Him. 
 
 And w h e u they had 
 found Him, they said unto 
 Him, All men seek for thee. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 L,et us go into the next 
 towns, that I may preach 
 there also : for therefore 
 came I forth. 
 
 And Jesus went about all 
 Galilee, teaching in their 
 synagogues, and preaching 
 
 I'ASSl 1 BY 
 
 His

 the gospel of the kingdom, 
 and healing all manner of 
 sickness and all manner of 
 disease among the people. 
 
 And His fame went 
 throughout all Syria : and 
 they brought unto Him 
 all sick people that were 
 taken with divers diseases 
 and torments, and those 
 which were possessed with 
 devils, and those which were 
 lunatics, and those that had 
 the palsy ; and He healed 
 them. 
 
 And there followed Him 
 great multitudes of people 
 from Galilee, and from De- 
 capolis, SLtidfrom Jerusalem 
 and from Judea, and from 
 beyond Jordan. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 HE CEEANSETH THE EEPER 
 ND there came a leper 
 
 A 
 
 to Him, beseeching 
 Him, and kneeling down to 
 Him, and saying unto Him, 
 
go JESUS OF 
 
 If thou wilt, thou canst 
 make me clean. 
 
 And Jesus, moved with 
 compassion, put forth His 
 hand, and touched him, 
 and said unto him, I will ; 
 be thou clean. 
 
 And as soon as He had 
 spoken , immediately the 
 leprosy departed from him, 
 and he was cleansed. 
 
 And He straitly charged 
 him, and forthwith sent him 
 away ; 
 
 And saith unto him, See 
 thou say nothing to any 
 man : but go thy way, 
 shew thyself to the priest, 
 and offer for thy cleansing 
 those things which Moses 
 commanded, for a testi- 
 mony unto them. 
 
 But he went out, and be- 
 gan to publish //much, and 
 to blaze abroad the matter, 
 insomuch that Jesus could 
 no more openly enter into 
 the city, but was without 
 in desert places : and they 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 came to Him from every 
 quarter. 
 
 And He withdrew Him- 
 self into the wilderness, 
 and prayed. 
 
 HE CURETH THE PAESIED. 
 
 And again He entered 
 into Capernaum after some 
 days ; and it was noised 
 that He was in the house. 
 
 And straightway many 
 were gathered together, in- 
 somuch that there was no 
 room to receive them, no, not 
 so much as about the door : 
 and He preached the word 
 unto them. 
 
 And they come unto 
 Him, bringing one sick of 
 the pais}', which was borne 
 of four. 
 
 And when the>' could not 
 come nigh unto Him for 
 the press, they uncovered 
 the roof where He was : 
 and when they had broken 
 it up, they let down the bed 
 
"I will; be thou clean." 
 
'I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into 
 
 thine house." 
 
PASSETH BY 
 of the 
 
 95 
 
 wherein the sick 
 palsy lay. 
 
 When Jesus saw their 
 faith, He said unto 
 the sick of the palsy, Son, 
 thy sins be forgiven thee. 
 
 But there were certain of 
 the scribes sitting there, 
 a n d reasoning in their 
 hearts, 
 
 Why doth this man thus 
 speak blasphemies ? who 
 can forgive sins but God 
 only ? 
 
 And immediately, when 
 Jesus perceived in His 
 spirit that they so reasoned 
 within themselves, He said 
 unto them, Why reason 
 ye these things in your 
 hearts ? 
 
 Whether it is easier to 
 say to the sick of the pals}-, 
 Thy sins be forgiven thee ; 
 or to say, Arise, and take 
 up thy bed and walk ? 
 
 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 walk. 
 
 And immediat ely he 
 arose, took up the bed, and 
 went forth before them all ; 
 insomuch that the)- were all 
 amazed, and glorified God, 
 saying, We never saw it on 
 this fashion. 
 
 HE TEACHETH OUT OF 
 PETER'S SHIP. 
 
 And it came to pass, that, 
 as the people pressed upon 
 Him to hear the word of 
 God, He stood by the lake 
 of Gennesaret. 
 
 And saw two ships stand- 
 ing by the lake ; but the 
 fishermen were gone out of 
 them, and were washing 
 their nets. 
 
 And He entered into one 
 of the ships, which was 
 Simon's, and prayed him 
 that he would thrust out a 
 little from the land. And 
 
y6 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 He sat down, and taught 
 the people out of the ship. 
 
 Now when He had left 
 speaking, He said unto Si- 
 mon, Launch out into the 
 deep, and let down your 
 nets for a draught. 
 
 And Simon answering 
 said unto Him, Master, we 
 have toiled all the night, 
 and have taken nothing : 
 nevertheless at thy word I 
 will let down the net. 
 
 And when they had this 
 done, they inclosed a great 
 multitude of fishes : and 
 their net brake. 
 
 And they beckoned unto 
 their partners, which were 
 in the other ship, that they 
 should come and help them. 
 And they came, and filled 
 both the ships, so that they 
 began to sink. 
 
 When Simon Peter saw 
 it he fell down at Jesus' 
 knees, saying, Depart from 
 me ; for I am a sinful man, 
 O Lord. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 For he was astonished, 
 and all that were with 
 him, at the draught of 
 the fishes which they had 
 taken : 
 
 And so was also James, 
 and John, the sons of Zebe- 
 dee, which were partners 
 with Simon. And Jesus 
 said unto Simon, Fear not ; 
 from henceforth thou shalt 
 catch men. 
 
 And when they had 
 brought their ships to land, 
 they forsook all, and fol- 
 lowed Him. 
 
 ^[And after these things 
 He went forth, and saw a 
 publican, named Levi, sit- 
 ting at the receipt of cus- 
 tom : and He said unto him, 
 Follow me. 
 
 And he left all, rose up, 
 and followed Him. 
 
 And Levi made Him a 
 great feast in his own house : 
 and there was a great com- 
 pany of publicans and of

 others that sat down with 
 them. 
 
 But the scribes and Phari- 
 sees murmured against 
 His disciples, saying, Why 
 do you eat and drink with 
 publicans and sinners ? 
 
 And Jesus answering said 
 unto them, They that are 
 whole need not a physician ; 
 but they that are sick. 
 
 I came not to call the 
 righteous, but sinners to 
 repentance. 
 
 And they said unto Him, 
 Why do the disciples of 
 John fast often, and make 
 prayers, and likewise the 
 disciples of the Pharisees ; 
 but thine eat and drink ? 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Can ye make the children of 
 the bridechamber, fast while 
 the bridegroom is with them ? 
 
 But the days will come, 
 when the bridegroom shall 
 be taken away from them, 
 and then shall they fast in 
 those days. 
 
 And He spake also a par- 
 able unto them ; No man 
 putteth a piece of a new 
 garment upon an old ; if 
 otherwise, then both the 
 new maketh a rent, and the 
 piece that was taken out of 
 the new agreeth not with 
 the old. 
 
 And no man putteth new 
 wine into old bottles ; else 
 the new wine will burst the 
 bottles, and be spilled, and 
 the bottles shall perish. 
 
 But new wine must be 
 put into new bottles ; and 
 both are preserved. 
 
 No man also having 
 drunk old wine straightway 
 desireth new ; for he saith 
 The old is better. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 BETHKSDA. 
 
 AFTER this there was a 
 feasts of the Jews ; 
 and Jesus went up to Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 Now there is at Jerusa- 
 lem by the sheep market a 
 pool, which is called in the 
 Hebrew tongue Bethesda, 
 having five porches. 
 
 In these lay a great mul- 
 titude of impotent folk, of 
 blind, halt, withered, wait- 
 ing for the moving of the 
 water. 
 
 For an angel went down 
 at a certain season into the 
 pool, and troubled the 
 water : whosoever then first 
 after the troubling of the 
 water stepped in was made 
 whole of whatsoever dis- 
 ease he had. 
 
 And a certain man was 
 there, which had an in- 
 firmity thirty and eight 
 years. 
 
 When Jesus saw him lie, 
 and knew that he had been 
 now a long time in that case, 
 He saith unto him, Wilt 
 thou be made whole ? 
 
 The impotent man an- 
 swered 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. 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, 
 Rise, take up thy bed, and 
 walk. 
 
 And immediately the man 
 was made whole, and took 
 up his bed, and walked : 
 and on the same day was 
 the sabbath. 
 
 The Jews therefore said 
 unto him that was cured, It 
 is the sabbath day : it is not 
 lawful for thee to carry thy 
 bed. 
 
 He answered them, He 
 that made me whole, the 
 same said unto me, Take up 
 thy bed, and walk. 
 
 Then asked they him, 
 What man is that which 
 said unto thee, Take up thy 
 bed, and walk ? 
 
 And he that was healed 
 wist not who it was : for 
 Jesus had conveyed Himself 
 
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 
 
PASSFTH BY 
 
 i°s 
 
 away, a multitude being 
 
 in tliat place. 
 
 Afterward Jesus findeth 
 him in the temple, and said 
 unto him, Behold, thou art 
 made whole : sin no more, 
 lest a worse thing come 
 unto thee. 
 
 The man departed, and 
 told the Jews that it was 
 Jesus, which had made him 
 whole. 
 
 And therefore did the 
 Jews persecute Jesus, and 
 sought to slay Him, because 
 He had done these things 
 on the sabbath day. 
 
 But Jesus answered them, 
 My Father worketh hith- 
 erto, and I work. 
 
 Therefore the Jews sought 
 the more to kill Him, be- 
 cause He not only had 
 broken the sabbath, but said 
 also that God was His 
 Father, making himself 
 equal with God. 
 
 Then answered Jesus and 
 said unto them, Verily, 
 
 verily, I say unto you, The 
 Son can do nothing of Him- 
 self, but what He seeth the 
 Father do : for what things 
 soever He doeth, these also 
 doeth the Son likewise. 
 
 For the Father loveth the 
 Son, and sheweth Him all 
 things that Himself doeth : 
 and He will shew Him 
 greater works than these, 
 that ye may marvel. 
 
 For as the Father raiseth 
 up the dead, and quieken- 
 eth them ; even so the Son 
 quickeneth whom He will. 
 
 For the Father judgeth 
 no man, but hath com- 
 mitted all judgment unto 
 the Son : 
 
 That all men should hon- 
 our the Son, even as they 
 honour the Father. He 
 that honoureth not the Son 
 honoureth not the Father 
 which hath sent Him. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, He that heareth my 
 word, and believeth on Him 
 
io6 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 that sent me, hath everlast- 
 ing life, and shall not come 
 into condemnation : but is 
 passed from death unto life. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, The hour is coming 
 and now is, when the dead 
 shall hear the voice of the 
 Son of God : and they that 
 hear shall live. 
 
 For as the Father hath 
 life in Himself ; so hath He 
 given to the Son to have 
 life in Himself ; 
 
 And hath given Him au- 
 thority to execute judgment 
 also, because He is the Son 
 of man. 
 
 Marvel not at this : for 
 the hour is coming, in the 
 which all that are in the 
 graves shall hear His voice, 
 
 And shall come forth ; 
 they that have done good, 
 unto the resurrection of 
 life? and they that have 
 done evil, unto the resur- 
 section of damnation. 
 
 I can of mine own self 
 
 do nothing : as I hear, I 
 judge: and my judgment 
 is just ; because I seek not 
 my own will, but the will of 
 the Father which hath sent 
 me, 
 
 If I bear witness of my- 
 self, my witness is not true. 
 
 There is another that 
 beareth witness of me ; 
 and I know that the wit- 
 ness which He witnesseth of 
 me is true. 
 
 Ye sent unto John, and 
 he bare witness unto the 
 truth. 
 
 But I receive not testi- 
 mony from man : but these 
 things I say, that ye might 
 be saved. 
 
 He was a burning and a 
 shining light : and ye were 
 willing for a season to re- 
 joice in his light. 
 
 But I have greater wit- 
 ness than that of John : for 
 the works which the Father 
 hath given me to finish, the 
 same works that I do, bear 
 
"Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and 
 they are they which testify of Me." 
 
witness of me, that 
 Father hath sent me. 
 
 And the Father Himself, 
 which hath sent me, hath 
 borne witness of me, ye 
 have neither heard H i s 
 voice at any time, nor seen 
 His shape. 
 
 And ye have not His 
 word abiding in yon : for 
 whom He hath sent, Him ye 
 believe not. 
 
 % Search the Scriptnres ; 
 for in them ye think ye 
 have eternal life : and they 
 are they which testify of 
 me. 
 
 And ye will not come to 
 me, that ye might have 
 life. 
 
 I receive not honour from 
 men. 
 
 But I know you, that ye 
 have not the love of God in 
 you . 
 
 I am come in my Father's 
 name, and ye received me 
 
 PASSETH BY 
 the

 in his own name, him ye 
 will receive. 
 
 H o w can ye believe, 
 which receive honour one 
 of another, and seek not the 
 honour that cometh from 
 God only ? 
 
 Do not think that I will 
 accuse you to the Father : 
 there is one that accuseth 
 you, even Moses, in whom 
 ye trust. 
 
 For had ye believed Mo- 
 ses, ye would have believed 
 me : for he wrote of me. 
 
 But if ye believe not his 
 writings, how shall ye be- 
 lieve my words ? 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 THE SOX OF MAN LORD 
 EVEN OF THE SABBATH. 
 
 AND it came to pass, 
 that He went through 
 the corn fields on the sab- 
 bath day ; and His disci- 
 ples were an hungered, and 
 
 not : if another shall come began to pluck the ears of 
 
no 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 corn, as they went, and to 
 eat, rubbing them in their 
 hands. 
 
 But when the Pharisees 
 saw it, they said unto Him, 
 Behold, thy disciples do 
 that which is not lawful to 
 do upon the Sabbath day ; 
 Why do they on the sab- 
 bath day that which is not 
 lawful? 
 
 And Jesus answering 
 them said, Have ye not 
 read so much as this, what 
 David did, when he had 
 need, and was an hungered, 
 he, and they that were with 
 him ? 
 
 How he went into the 
 house of God in the days of 
 Abiathar the high priest, 
 and did eat the shew bread, 
 which was not lawful for 
 him to eat, neither for them 
 which were with him, but 
 only for the priests, and 
 gave also to them which 
 were with him ? 
 
 Or have ye not read in 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 the law, how that on the 
 sabbath days the priests in 
 the temple profane the sab- 
 bath, and are blameless? 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 in this place is one greater 
 than the temple. 
 
 But if ye had known 
 what this meaneth, " I will 
 have mercy, and not sac- 
 rifice, " ye would not 
 have condemned the guilt- 
 less. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 The sabbath was made for 
 man, and not man for the 
 sabbath : and therefore the 
 Son of man is Lord also of 
 the sabbath day. 
 
 And when He was de- 
 parted thence, He went into 
 their synagogue, and 
 taught : and there was a 
 man there whose right hand 
 was withered. 
 
 And the scribes and Phari- 
 sees watched Him, whether 
 He would heal him on the 
 sabbath day ; (that they 
 
"The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 »M 
 
 might find an accusation 
 against Him). 
 
 And they asked Him, 
 saying, Is it lawful to heal 
 on the sabbath days? 
 
 But He knew their 
 thoughts, and said to the 
 man which had the with- 
 ered hand, Rise up and 
 stand forth in the midst. 
 And he arose and stood 
 forth. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them, I will ask you one 
 thing : Is it lawful on the 
 sabbath days to do good, or 
 to do evil ? to save life, or 
 to destroy it? but they held 
 their peace. 
 
 And looking round about 
 upon them all, He said 
 unto them, What man shall 
 there be among you, that 
 shall have one sheep, and if 
 it fall into a pit on the 
 sabbath day, will he not lay 
 hold on it, and lift //out? 
 
 How much then is a man 
 better than a sheep ? Where- 
 
 fore it is law r ful to do well 
 on the sabbath days. 
 
 And when He had looked 
 round about on them with 
 anger, being grieved for the 
 hardness of their hearts, 
 
 Then saith He to the 
 man, Stretch forth thine 
 hand. And he stretched 
 it forth ; and it was re- 
 stored whole, like as the 
 other. 
 
 And the Pharisees were 
 filled with madness ; and 
 went forth and communed 
 one with another what they 
 might do to Jesus ; and 
 straightway took counsel 
 with the Herodians how 
 they might destroy Him. 
 
 But Jesus withdrew him- 
 self with His disciples to the 
 sea : and a great multitude 
 from Galilee followed Him, 
 and from Judea, 
 
 And from Jerusalem, and 
 from Idumea, and from be- 
 yond Jordan ; and they 
 about Tyre and Sidon, a 
 
ii4 
 
 JESUS CF NAZARETH 
 
 great multitude, when they 
 had heard what great 
 things He did, came unto 
 Him. 
 
 And He spake to His 
 disciples, that a small ship 
 should wait on Him because 
 of the multitude, lest they 
 should throng Him. 
 
 For He had healed many ; 
 insomuch that they pressed 
 upon Him for to touch Him, 
 as many as had plagues. 
 
 And unclean spirits, when 
 they saw Him, fell down 
 before Him, and cried, 
 saying, Thou art the Son of 
 God. 
 
 And He straitly charged 
 them that they should not 
 make Him known. 
 
 That it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by Esaias 
 the prophet, saying, 
 
 Behold My servant, whom 
 I have chosen ; my Beloved, 
 in whom my soul is well 
 pleased : I w 7 i 1 1 put my 
 Spirit upon Him, and He 
 
 shall shew judgment to the 
 Gentiles. 
 
 He shall not strive, nor 
 cry ; neither shall any man 
 hear His voice in the 
 streets. 
 
 A bruised reed shall He 
 not break, and smoking flax 
 shall He not quench, till 
 He send forth judgment 
 unto victory. 
 
 And in His name shall 
 the Gentiles trust. 
 
 ^j And it came to pass 
 in those days, that Jesus 
 went out into a moun- 
 tain to pray, and con- 
 tinued all night in prayer 
 to God. 
 
 And when it was day, 
 He called unto Him his 
 disciples : and of them He 
 chose twelve, whom also He 
 named apostles ; that they 
 should be with Him, and 
 that He might send them 
 forth to preach.

 And Judas the brother of 
 James, and Judas Iscariot, 
 which also was the traitor. 
 
 And He came down with 
 the m , and stood in the 
 plain, and the company of 
 His disciples, and a great 
 multitude of people out of 
 all Judea and Jerusalem, 
 and from the sea coast of 
 Tyre and Sidon, which came 
 to hear Him, and to be 
 healed of their diseases ; 
 
 And they that were vexed 
 with unclean spirits : and 
 they were healed.

 ON THE 
 
 And seeing the multi- 
 
 PASSHTH BY. "7 
 
 tudes, He went up into a 
 mountain : and when He 
 was set, his disciple came 
 unto Him : 
 
 And He opened His 
 
 mouth, and taught them, 
 saying, 
 
 Blessed are the poor in 
 spirit : for theirs is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 Blessed are they that 
 mourn : for they shall be 
 comforted. 
 
 Blessed are the meek : for 
 they shall inherit the earth. 
 
 Blessed are they which do 
 hunger and thirst after 
 righteousness : for they 
 shall be filled. 
 
 Blessed are the merciful : 
 for they shall obtain mercy. 
 
 Blessed are the pure in 
 heart : for they shall see 
 God. 
 
 Blessed are the peace- 
 makers : for they shall be 
 called the children of God. 
 
 Blessed are they which 
 are persecuted for right- 
 
n8 JESUS OF 
 
 eousness' sake : for theirs is 
 the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 Blessed are ye when men 
 shall revile you, and perse- 
 cute you, and shall say 
 all manner of evil against 
 you falsely for my sake. 
 
 Rejoice ye in that day, 
 and leap for joy : for be- 
 hold, your reward is great 
 in heaven : for in the like 
 manner did their fathers 
 unto the prophets. 
 
 But woe unto you that 
 are rich ! for ye have re- 
 ceived your consolation. 
 
 Woe unto you that are 
 full ! for ye shall hunger. 
 Woe unto you that laugh 
 now ! for ye shall mourn 
 and weep. 
 
 Woe unto you when all 
 men shall speak well of 
 you ! for so did their fath- 
 ers to the false prophets. 
 
 % Ye are the salt of the 
 earth : but if the salt has 
 lost its savour, wherewith 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 shall it be salted ? it is 
 thenceforth good for noth- 
 ing, but to be cast out, and 
 to be trodden under foot of 
 men . 
 
 Ye are the light of the 
 world. A city that is set 
 upon a hill cannot be hid. 
 
 Neither do men light a 
 candle, and put it under a 
 bushel, but on a candle- 
 stick ; and it giveth light 
 unto all that are in the 
 house. 
 
 Let your light so shine 
 before men, that they may 
 see your good works, and 
 glorify your Father which 
 is in heaven. 
 
 Think not that I am come 
 to destroy the law, or the 
 prophets ; I am not come to 
 destroy, but to fulfil. 
 
 For verily I say unto you, 
 Till heaven and earth pass, 
 one jot or one tittle shall in 
 no wise pass from the law, 
 till all be fulfilled. 
 
 Whosoever therefore shall 
 
" Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." 
 
break one of these 
 commandments, and shall 
 teach men so, he shall be 
 called the least in the 
 kingdom of heaven : but 
 w hosoever shall do and 
 teach them, the same shall 
 be called great in the king- 
 dom of heaven. 
 
 For I say unto you, That 
 except your rightousuess 
 shall exceed the rightousness 
 of the scribes and Phari- 
 sees, ye shall in no case 
 enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 Ye have heard that it was 
 said by them of old time, 
 Thou shalt not kill ; and 
 whosoever shall kill shall be 
 in danger of the judgment ; 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 whosoever is angry with his 
 brother without a cause 
 shall be in danger of the 
 judgment ; and whosoever 
 shall say to his brother, 
 Raca, shall be in danger of 
 the council ; but whosoever 
 
 PASSET BY. 
 
 least 
 
 shall say, Thou fool, shall 
 be in danger of hell fire. 
 
 Therefore if thou bring 
 thy gift to the altar, and 
 there rememberest that thy 
 brother hath aught against 
 thee ; 
 
 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. 
 
 Agree with thine adver- 
 sary quickly, while thou 
 art in the way with him ; 
 lest at any time the adver- 
 sary deliver thee to the 
 judge, and the judge deliver 
 thee to the officer, and thou 
 be cast into prison. 
 
 Verily, I say unto thee, 
 Thou shalt by no means 
 come out thence, till thou 
 hast paid the uttermost far- 
 thing. 
 
 Ye have heard that it was 
 said by them of old time, 
 Thou shalt not commit 
 adultery : 
 
122 JbSUIS UP 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 whosoever looketh on a 
 woman to lust after her 
 hath committed adultery 
 with her already in his 
 heart. 
 
 And if thy right eye 
 offend thee, pluck it out, 
 and cast it from thee ; for 
 it is profitable for thee that 
 one of thy members should 
 perish, and not that thy 
 whole body should be cast 
 into hell. 
 
 And if thy right hand 
 offend thee, cut it off, 
 and cast it from thee : for it 
 is profitable for thee that 
 one of thy members should 
 perish, and not that thy 
 whole body should be cast 
 into hell. 
 
 It hath been said, Who- 
 soever shall put away his 
 wife, let him give her a 
 writing of divorcement : 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 whosoever shall put his wife 
 away saving for the cause of 
 
 NAZARhTH 
 
 fornication, causeth her to 
 commit adulter y : and 
 whosoever shall marry her 
 that is divorced committeth 
 adultery. 
 
 Again, ye have heard thc.t 
 it hath been said by them 
 of old time, Thou shalt not 
 forswear thyself, but shalt 
 perform unto the Lord thine 
 oaths : 
 
 But I say unto 3-011, Swear 
 not at all ; neither by heaven ; 
 for it is God's throne : 
 
 Xor by the earth ; for it 
 is his footstool : neither by 
 Jerusalem ; for it is the city 
 of the great King. 
 
 Neither shalt thou swear 
 by thy head, because thou 
 canst not make one hair 
 white or black. 
 
 But let your communica- 
 tion be, Yea, yea ; Nay, 
 nay : for whatsoever is more 
 than these cometh of evil. 
 
 Ye have heard that it 
 hath been said, An eve for 
 
PASSETH 
 and a tooth for 
 
 an eye, and a tootn tor a 
 tooth : 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 ye resist not evil: but 
 whosoever shall smite thee 
 on thy right cheek, turn to 
 him the other also. 
 
 And if any man will sue 
 thee at the law, and take 
 away thy coat, let him have 
 thy cloak also. 
 
 And w hosoever shall 
 compel thee to go a mile, go 
 with him twain. 
 
 Give to every man that 
 asketh of thee, and from him 
 that would borrow of thee 
 turn not thou away ; and of 
 him that taketh away thy 
 goods ask them not again. 
 
 And as ye would that 
 men should do to you, do 
 ye also to them likewise. 
 
 Ye have heard that it 
 hath been said, Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbour, and 
 hate thine enemy. 
 
 But I say unto you, L,ove 
 
 your enemies, bless them sinners also lend to sinners, 
 
 BY. 123 
 
 that curse you, do good to 
 them that hate you, and 
 pray for them which de- 
 spitefully use you, and 
 persecute you ; 
 
 That you may be the 
 children of vour Father 
 which is in heaven : for he 
 maketh his sun to rise on 
 the evil and on the good, 
 and sendeth rain on the just 
 and on the unjust. 
 
 For if ye love them which 
 love you, what reward have 
 ye ? do not even the publi- 
 cans the same ? 
 
 And if ye salute your 
 brethren only, what do ye 
 more than others ? do not 
 even the publicans so ? 
 
 And if ye do good to 
 them which do good to you, 
 what thank have ye? for 
 sinners also do even the 
 same. 
 
 And if ye lend to them of 
 whom ye hope to receive, 
 what thank have ye ? for 
 
124 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 to receive as much again. 
 
 But love ye your enemies, 
 and do good, and lend, 
 hoping for nothing again ; 
 and your reward shall be 
 great, and ye shall be the 
 children of the Highest : 
 for He is kind unto the un- 
 thankful and to the evil. 
 
 Be ye merciful, as your 
 Father also is merciful. 
 
 Be ye therefore perfect 
 even as your Father which 
 is in heaven is perfect. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 TAKE heed that ye do 
 not your alms before 
 men, to be seen of them : 
 otherwise ye have no reward 
 of your Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 Therefore when thou 
 doest thine alms, do not 
 sound a trumpet before thee 
 as the hypocrites do in the 
 synagogues and in the 
 streets, that they ma)- have 
 
 glory of men. Verily I say 
 unto you, They have their 
 reward. 
 
 But when thou doest alms, 
 let not thy left hand know 
 what thy right hand doeth : 
 
 That thine alms may be 
 in secret : and thy Father 
 which seeth in secret, 
 Himself shall reward thee 
 openly. 
 
 And when thou pray est, 
 thou shalt not be as the 
 hypocrits are : for they love 
 to pray standing in the 
 synagogues and in the 
 corners of the streets, that 
 they may be seen of men. 
 Verily I say unto you, They 
 have their reward. 
 
 But thou, when thou 
 p r a y e s t , enter into thy 
 closet, and when thou hast 
 shut thy door, pray to tin- 
 Father which is in secret ; 
 and thy Father which seeth 
 in secret shall reward thee 
 openly. 
 
 But when ye pray, use 
 
not vain repetitions, as the 
 heathen do : for they think 
 that they shall be heard for 
 their much speaking. 
 
 Be ye not therefore like 
 unto them : for your Father 
 knoweth what things ye 
 have need of, before ye ask 
 Him. 
 
 After this manner there- 
 fore pray ye : Our Father 
 who art in Heaven, 
 Hallowed be Thy name. 
 
 Thy kingdom come, Thy 
 will be done in earth, as it is 
 in heaven. 
 
 Give us this day our daily 
 bread. 
 
 And forgive us our debts 
 as we forgive our debtors. 
 
 And lead us not into 
 temptation, but deliver us 
 from evil : for Thine is the 
 kingdom, and the power, 
 and the glory, forever. 
 Amen. 
 
 For if ye forgive men 
 their ti es passes, your 
 
 PASSFTH BY. ,2 S 
 
 heavenly Father will also 
 forgive you : 
 
 But if ye forgive not men 
 their trespasses, neither will 
 your Father forgive your 
 trespasses. 
 
 Moreover when ye fast, 
 be not, as the hypocrites, 
 of a sad countenance : for 
 they disfigure their faces, 
 that they may appear unto 
 men to fast. Verily I say 
 unto you, They have their 
 reward. 
 
 But thou, when thou 
 fastest, anoint thine head, 
 and wash thy face ; 
 
 That thou appear not 
 unto men to fast, but unto 
 thy Father which is in 
 secret : and thy Father 
 which seeth in secret shall 
 reward thee openly. 
 
 Lay not up for yourselves 
 treasures upon earth, where 
 moth and rust doth corrupt 
 and where thieves break 
 through and steal : 
 
 But lay up for yourselves 
 
126 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 treasures in heaven, where 
 neither moth nor rust doth 
 corrupt, and -where thieves 
 do not break through nor 
 steal : 
 
 For where your treasure 
 is, there will your heart be 
 also. 
 
 The light of the body is 
 the eye : if therefore thine 
 eye be single, thy whole 
 body shall be full of light. 
 
 But if thine eye be evil, 
 thy whole body shall be full 
 of darkness. If therefore the 
 light that is in thee be dark- 
 ness, h o w great is that 
 darkness ! 
 
 ^1" No man can serve two 
 masters : for either he will 
 hate the one, and love the 
 other ; or else he will hold 
 to the one, and despise the 
 other. Ye cannot serve God 
 and mammon. 
 
 Therefore I say unto you, 
 Take no thought 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 meat, and the 
 body than raiment ? 
 
 Behold the fowls of the 
 air : for they sow not, 
 neither do they reap, nor 
 gather into barns ; yet your 
 heavenly Father f e e d e t h 
 them. Are ye not much 
 better than they ? 
 
 Which of you by taking 
 thought can add one cubit 
 unto his stature? 
 
 And why take ye thought 
 for raiment ? Consider the 
 lilies of the field, how they 
 grow ; they toil not, neither 
 do they spin : 
 
 And yet I say unto you, 
 That even Solomon in all 
 his glory was not arrayed 
 like one of these. 
 
 Wherefore, if God so 
 clothe the grass of the field, 
 which to day is, and to- 
 morrow is cast into the oven, 
 shall he not much more clothe 
 
you, O ye of little faith ? 
 
 T h er e fore take no 
 thought, saving, What shall 
 we eat? or, What shall we 
 (1 r ink? or, Wherewithal 
 shall we be clothed ? 
 
 ( For after all these things 
 dothe Gentiles seek : ) for 
 your heavenly Father 
 knoweth that ye have need 
 of all these things. 
 
 But seek ye first the 
 kingdom of God, and His 
 righteousness ; and all these 
 things shall be added unto 
 you. 
 
 Take therefore no thought 
 for the morrow : for the 
 morrow shall take thought 
 for the things of itself. 
 .Sufficient unto the day is 
 the evil thereof. 
 
 • Judge not, that ye be 
 not judged. 
 
 For with what judgment 
 ye j n d ge , ye shall be 
 judged: and with what 
 m e a s u r e ye mete, it 
 
 PASSETH BY. ,2 7 
 
 shall be measured to you 
 
 again. 
 
 And why beholdest thou 
 the mote that is in thy 
 brother's eye, but consider- 
 est not the beam that is in 
 thine own eye ? 
 
 Or how wilt thou say to 
 thy brother, Let me pull 
 out the mote out of thine 
 eye ; and, behold, a beam 
 is in thine own eye ? 
 
 Thou hypocrite, first cast 
 out the beam out of thine 
 own eye ; and then shalt 
 thou see clearly to cast out 
 the mote out of thy brother's 
 eye. 
 
 Give not that which is 
 holy unto the dogs, neither 
 cast ye your pearls before 
 swine, lest they trample 
 them under their feet, and 
 turn again and rend you. 
 
 Ask, and it shall be given 
 you ; seek, and ye shall 
 find ; knock, and it shall be 
 opened unto you : 
 
 For every one that asketh 
 
i28 JESUS OF 
 
 receiveth ; and he that 
 seeketh findeth ; and to him 
 that knocketh it shall be 
 opened. 
 
 Or what man is there of 
 you, whom if his son ask 
 bread, will he give him a 
 stone ? 
 
 Or if he ask a fish, will 
 he give him a serpent ? 
 
 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 ? 
 
 Therefore all things 
 whatsoever ye would that 
 men should do to you, do 
 ye even so to them : for this 
 is the law and the prophets. 
 
 Enter ye in at the strait 
 gate : for wide is the gate, 
 and broad is the. way, that 
 leadeth to destruction, and 
 many there be which go in 
 thereat : 
 
 Because strait is the gate, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 and narrow is the way, 
 which leadeth unto life, 
 and few there be that find 
 it. 
 
 Beware of false prophets, 
 which come to you in sheep's 
 clothing, but inwardly they 
 are ravening wolves. 
 
 Ye shall know them by 
 their fruits ; for every tree 
 is known by his own fruit. 
 Of thorns men do not gather 
 figs, nor of a bramble bush 
 gather they grapes. 
 
 Even so every good tree 
 bringeth forth good fruit ; 
 but a corrupt tree bringeth 
 forth evil fruit. 
 
 A good tree cannot bring 
 forth evil fruit, neither can 
 a corrupt tree bring forth 
 good fruit. 
 
 A good man out of the 
 good treasure of his heart 
 bringeth forth that which is 
 good ; and an evil man out 
 of the evil treasure of his 
 heart bringeth forth that 
 which is evil : for of the 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 abundance of the heart his 
 mouth speaketh. 
 
 Wherefore by their fruits 
 ye shall know them. 
 
 Every tree that bringeth 
 not forth good fruit is hewn 
 down, and east into the fire. 
 
 And why call ye me, 
 Lord, Lord, and do not the 
 things which I say ? 
 
 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. 
 
 Many will say to me in 
 that day, Lord, Lord, have 
 we not prophesied in thy 
 name ? and in Thy name 
 have cast out devils ? and in 
 thy name done m a n y 
 wonderful works ? 
 
 And then will I profess 
 unto them, I never knew 
 you : depart from me, ye 
 that work iniquity. 
 
 Therefore whosoever 
 heareth these sayings o f 
 
 129 
 
 mine, and doeth them, I 
 will liken him unto a wise 
 man, which built his house 
 upon a rock : 
 
 And the rain descended, 
 and the floods came, and the 
 winds blew, and beat upon 
 that house : and it fell not : 
 for it was founded upon a 
 rock. 
 
 And every one that 
 heareth these sayings of 
 mine, and doeth them not, 
 shall be likened unto a 
 foolish man, which built his 
 house upon the sand : 
 
 And the rain descended, 
 and the floods came, and the 
 winds blew, and beat upon 
 that house ; and it fell : and 
 great was the fall of it. 
 
 And it came to pass, when 
 Jesus had ended these say- 
 ings, the people were 
 astonished at His doctrine : 
 
 For He taught them as 
 otie having authority, and 
 not as the scribes. 
 
i3° JESUS OF 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 HEAEETH THE CENTURION'S 
 SERVANT 
 
 NOW when He had 
 ended all His sayings 
 in the audience of the 
 people, He entered into 
 Capernaum. 
 
 And a certain centurion's 
 servant, who was dear unto 
 him, was sick, and ready to 
 die. 
 
 And when he heard of 
 Jcmis, He sent unto Him 
 the elders of the Jews, 
 beseeching Him that He 
 would come and heal his 
 servant. 
 
 And when they came to 
 Jesus, they besought Him 
 instantly, saying, That he 
 was worthy for whom He 
 should do this : 
 
 For he loveth our nation, 
 and he hath built us a 
 synagogue. 
 
 Then Jesus went w i t h 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 them. 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 shouldest enter under 
 my roof : 
 
 \Y h e r e f o r e neither 
 thought I myself worthy to 
 come unto thee : but say in a 
 word, and my servant shall 
 be healed. 
 
 For I also am a man set 
 under authority, having 
 under me soldiers, and I say 
 unto one, Go, and he goeth ; 
 and to another, Come, and 
 he cometh ; and to my ser- 
 vant, Do this, and he doeth 
 it. 
 
 When Jesus heard these 
 things, He marvelled, and 
 turned Him about, and 
 said unto the people that 
 followed Him, I say unto 
 you, I have not found so 
 great faith, no, not in 
 Israel. 
 
"I say unto you, I have not found so great faith; no, not in Israel.' 
 
And I say unto you, 
 That man}- shall come from 
 the east and west, and shall 
 sit down with Abraham, 
 and Isaac, and Jacob, in 
 the kingdom of heaven : 
 
 But the children of the 
 kingdom shall be cast out 
 into outer darkness ; there 
 shall be weeping and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 And the}- that were sent, 
 returning to the house, 
 found the servant whole 
 that had been sick. 
 
 RAISETH FROM DEATH THK 
 
 widow's SON. 
 
 ^[ And it came to pass 
 the day after, that He went 
 into a city called Nain ; and 
 many of His disciples went 
 with Him, a n d m u c h 
 people. 
 
 Now when He came nigh 
 to the gate of the city be- 
 hold, there was a dead man 
 carried out; the only son of 
 his mother, and she was a 
 
 PASSETH BY 133 
 
 widow ; and much people 
 of the city was with her. 
 
 And when the L,ord saw 
 her, He had compassion on 
 her, and said unto her, 
 Weep not. 
 
 And He came and touched 
 the bier ; and they that 
 bare him stood still. And 
 He said, Young man, I say 
 unto thee, Arise. 
 
 And he that was dead sat 
 up, and began to speak. 
 And He delivered him to 
 his mother. 
 
 And there came a fear on 
 all ; and they glorified God, 
 saying, That a great 
 prophet is risen up among 
 us ; and, that God hath vis- 
 ited His people. 
 
 And this rumor of Him 
 went forth throughout all 
 Judea, and throughout all 
 the region round about. 
 
 And the disciples of John 
 shewed him of all these 
 things. And when John 
 had heard of the works of 
 
»34 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 Christ, he, calling unto him 
 in the prison two of his 
 disciples, sent them to Jesus, 
 saying, Art thou He that 
 should come ? or look we 
 for another ! 
 
 When the men were 
 come unto Him, they said, 
 John Baptist hath sent us 
 unto thee saying, Art thou 
 He that should come ? or 
 look we for another ? 
 
 And in that same hour 
 He cured many of their in- 
 firmities and plagues, and 
 of evil spirits ; and unto 
 many that were blind He 
 gave sight. 
 
 Then Jesus answering 
 said unto them, Go your 
 way, and tell John what 
 things ye have seen and 
 heard ; how that the blind 
 see, the lame walk, the 
 lepers are cleansed, the 
 deaf hear, the dead are 
 raised, to the poor the gos- 
 pel is preached. 
 
 And blessed is he, whoso- 
 
 ever shall not be offended 
 in me. 
 
 And when the messen- 
 gers of John were departed 
 He began to speak unto 
 the people concerning John, 
 What went ye into the wil- 
 derness for to see ? A reed 
 shaken with the wind ? 
 
 But what went ye out for 
 to see ? A man clothed in 
 soft raiment ? Behold, they 
 which are gorgeously ap- 
 parelled, and live delicately, 
 are in king's courts. 
 
 But what went ye out for 
 to see? A prophet? Yea, I 
 say unto you, and much 
 more than a prophet. 
 
 This is he, of whom it is 
 written, Behold, I send my 
 messenger before thy face, 
 which shall prepare thy way 
 before thee. 
 
 For I say unto you, 
 Among those that are born 
 of women there is not a 
 greater prophet than John 
 the Baptist : but he that is 
 

 AND HE DELIVERED HIM TO HIS MOTHER. 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 «.?7 
 
 least in the kingdom of God 
 is greater than he. 
 
 And from the days of 
 John the Baptist until now 
 the kingdom of heaven suf- 
 fereth violence, and t h e 
 violent take it by force. 
 
 For all the prophets and 
 the law prophesied until 
 John. 
 
 And if ye will receive *V 
 this is Elias, which was for 
 to come. 
 
 He that hath ears to hear, 
 let him hear. 
 
 And all the people that 
 heard Him, and the publi- 
 cans, justified God, being 
 baptized with the baptism 
 of John : 
 
 But the Pharisees and 
 lawyers rejected the counsel 
 of God against themselves, 
 being not baptized of him. 
 
 And the Lord said, where 
 unto then shall I liken the 
 men of this generation ? and 
 to what are they like ? 
 
 Thev are like unto 
 
 children sitting in the 
 marketplace, and calling one 
 to another, saying, We have 
 piped unto you, and ye have 
 not danced ; we have 
 mourned to you. and ye 
 have not wept. 
 
 For John the Baptist came 
 neither eating bread nor 
 drinking wine ; and ye say, 
 He hath a devil. 
 
 The Son of Man is come 
 eating and drinking ; and 
 ye say, Behold a gluttonous 
 man, and a winebibber, a 
 friend of publicans and 
 sinners ! 
 
 But wisdom is justified of 
 all her children. 
 
 Then began He to up- 
 braid the cities wherein 
 most of His mighty works 
 were done, because they re- 
 pented not : 
 
 Woe, unto thee, Chora- 
 zin ! woe unto thee, Beth- 
 saida ! for if the mighty 
 works, which were done in 
 you, had been done in Tyre 
 
138 JESUS OF 
 
 and Sidon, they would have 
 repented long ago in sack- 
 cloth and ashes. 
 
 But I say unto you, it 
 will be more tolerable 
 for Tyre and Sidon at the 
 day of judgment, than for 
 you. 
 
 And thou Capernaum, 
 which art exalted unto 
 heaven, shall be brought 
 down to hell; for if 
 the mighty works, which 
 have been done in thee, had 
 been done in Sodom, it would 
 have remained until this 
 day. 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 it shall be more tolerable 
 for the land of Sodom in 
 the day of judgment, than 
 for thee. 
 
 • r At that time Jesus an- 
 swered and said, I thank 
 thee, O Father, Lord of 
 heaven and earth, because 
 thou hast hid these things 
 from the wise and prudent, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 and hast revealed them 
 unto babes. 
 
 Even so, Father ; for so 
 it seemed good in thy 
 sight. 
 
 All things are delivered 
 unto me of my Father : and 
 no man knoweth the Son, 
 but the Father ; neither 
 knoweth a n y man the 
 Father, save the Son, and 
 he to whomsoever the Son 
 will reveal Him. 
 
 Come unto me, all ye that 
 labour and are heavy laden, 
 and I will give you rest. 
 
 Take my yoke upon you, 
 and learn of me : for I am 
 meek and lowly of heart ; 
 and ye shall find rest unto 
 your souls. 
 
 For my yoke is easy, and 
 my burden is light. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 JESUS, SIMON'S GUEST, 
 
 AND one of the Phari- 
 i s e g s desired Him 
 that he would eat with him.

 141 
 
 And He went into the 
 Pharisee's house, and sat 
 down to meat. 
 
 And, behold, a woman in 
 the city, which was a sin- 
 ner, when she knew that 
 Jesus sat at meat in the 
 Pharisee's house, brought 
 an alabaster box of oint- 
 ment, 
 
 And stood at His feet 
 behind Him weeping, and 
 began to wash His feet with 
 tears, and did wipe them 
 with the hairs of her head, 
 and kissed His feet, and 
 anointed them with the oint- 
 ment. 
 
 Now when the Pharisee 
 which had bidden Him saw 
 it, he spake within himself, 
 saying, This man, if He 
 were a prophet, would have 
 known who and what man- 
 ner of woman this is that 
 toucheth Him : for she is a 
 sinner. 
 
 And Jesus answering said 
 unto him, Simon, I have 
 
 somewhat to say unto thee. 
 And he saith, Master, say 
 on. 
 
 There was a certain cred- 
 itor which had two debtors ; 
 the one owed five hundred 
 pence, and the other, fifty. 
 
 And when they had noth- 
 ing to pay, he frankly for- 
 gave them both. Tell me 
 therefore, which of them 
 will love him most ? 
 
 Simon answered and said, 
 I suppose that he, to whom 
 he forgave most. And He 
 said unto him, Thou hast 
 rightly judged. 
 
 And He turned to the 
 woman, and said unto Si- 
 mon, Seest thou this wo- 
 man ? I entered into thine 
 house ; thou gavest me no 
 water for my feet ; but she 
 hath washed my feet 
 with tears, and wiped them 
 with the hairs of her 
 head. 
 
 Thou gavest me no kiss : 
 but this woman, since the 
 
l 4 2 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 time I came in, hath not 
 ceased to kiss my feet. 
 
 My head with oil thou 
 didst not anoint but this 
 woman hath anointed my 
 feet with ointment. 
 
 Wherefore I say unto 
 thee, Her sins, which are 
 many, are forgiven ; for 
 she loveth much : but to 
 whom little is forgiven, ///<? 
 same loveth little. 
 
 And He said unto her, 
 Thy sins are forgiven. 
 
 And they that sat at 
 meat with Him began to 
 say within themselves, Who 
 is this that forgiveth sins 
 also ? 
 
 And He said to the 
 woman, Thy faith has saved 
 thee: go in peace. 
 
 And it came to pass after- 
 ward, that He went through- 
 out every city and village , 
 preaching and shewing the 
 glad tidings of the kingdom 
 of God : and the twelve were 
 with Him. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And certain women, 
 which had been healed of 
 evil spirits and infirmities, 
 Mary called Magdalene, out 
 of whom went seven devils, 
 
 And Joanna the wife of 
 Chuza, Herod's steward, 
 and Susanna, and many 
 others, which ministered 
 unto Him of their sub- 
 stance ; and they went into 
 a house. 
 
 And the multitude cometh 
 together again, so that they 
 could not so much as eat 
 bread . 
 
 And when His friends 
 heard of it y they went out 
 to lay hold on Him : for 
 they said, He is beside Him- 
 self. 
 
 • Then was brought unto 
 Him one possessed with 
 a devil, blind, and dumb : 
 and He healed him, inso- 
 much that the blind and 
 dumb both spake and saw. 
 
 And all the people were 
 
Mary cailed Magdalene. 
 
amazed, and said, Is 
 this the Son of David? 
 
 But when the Pharisees, 
 and the scribes which came 
 down from Jerusalem heard 
 it, they said, He hath Beel- 
 zebub : and, This fellow doth 
 not cast out devils, but by 
 Beelzebub, the prince of the 
 devils. 
 
 But Jesus knew their 
 thoughts ; and He then 
 called them unto Him, and 
 said unto them in parables, 
 How can Satan cast out 
 Satan ? 
 
 Every kingdom divided 
 against itself is brought to 
 desolation, and cannot 
 stand: and every city or 
 house divided against itself 
 shall not stand: 
 
 And if Satan rise up 
 against himself, a n d cast 
 out Satan, he is divided 
 against himself ; how shall 
 then his kingdom stand ? 
 
 And if I by Beelzebub 
 
 PASSETH BY 
 
 not 
 
 M5 
 
 your children cast them out ? 
 therefore they shall be your 
 judges. 
 
 But if I cast out devils by 
 the spirit of God then the 
 kingdom of God is come 
 unto you. 
 
 Or else, how can one en- 
 ter into a strong man's 
 house, and spoil his goods, 
 except he first bind the 
 strong man ? 
 
 When a strong man armed 
 keepeth his palace, his goods 
 are in peace : but when a 
 stronger than he shall come 
 upon him, and overcome 
 him, he taketh from him all 
 armour wherein he trusted, 
 and divideth his spoils. 
 
 He that is not with me is 
 against me ; and he that 
 gathereth not with me scat- 
 tereth abroad. 
 
 Verily, I say unto you, 
 All manner of sins shall be 
 forgiven unto the sons of 
 men , and blasphemies 
 cast out devils, by whom do wherewith soever they shall 
 
146 JESUS OF 
 
 blaspheme : but the blas- 
 p h e m y against the Holy 
 Ghost shall not be forgiven 
 unto men. 
 
 And whosoever speaketh 
 a word against the Son of 
 Man, it shall be forgiven 
 him : but whosoever speak- 
 eth against the Holy Ghost, 
 it shall not be forgiven him, 
 neither in this world, nei- 
 ther ill the world to come ; 
 
 He that shall blaspheme 
 against the Holy Ghost hath 
 never forgiveness, but is in 
 danger of eternal damna- 
 tion. 
 
 ( Because they said, He 
 hath an unclean spirit). 
 
 Either make the tree 
 good, and his fruit good ; or 
 else make the tree corrupt, 
 or his fruit corrupt : for the 
 tree is known by his fruit. 
 
 O generation of vipers, 
 how can ye, being evil, 
 speak good things ? for out 
 of the abundance of the 
 heart the mouth speaketh. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 A good m a n o u t of 
 the good treasure of the 
 heart briugeth forth good 
 things: and an evil man 
 out of the evil treasure 
 bringeth forth evil things. 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 every idle word that men 
 shall speak, they shall give 
 account thereof in the day 
 of judgment. 
 
 For by thy words thou 
 shalt be justified, and by 
 thy words thou shalt be 
 condemned. 
 
 • Then certain of the 
 scribes and of the Pharisees 
 answered, saying, Master, 
 we would see a sign from 
 thee. 
 
 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, 
 bnt the sign of the prophet 
 Jonas ; 
 
 For as Jonas was three 
 
(lays and three nights in 
 the w bale's belly ; so 
 
 shall the Son of Man 
 
 be three days and three 
 nights in the heart of the 
 earth. 
 
 The m e n of Ninevah 
 shall rise in judgment with 
 this generation, and shall 
 condemn it : because they 
 repented at the preaching 
 of Jonas ; and, behold, a 
 greater than Jonas is here. 
 
 The queen of the south 
 shall rise up in the judg- 
 ment with this generation, 
 and shall condemn it : for 
 she came from the utter- 
 most parts of the earth to 
 hear the wisdom of Solo- 
 mon ; and, behold, a greater 
 than Solomon is here. 
 
 No man, when he hath 
 lighted a candle, covereth 
 it with a vessel, or put- 
 teth it under a bed ; but 
 setteth /'/ on a candlestick, 
 that they which enter in 
 may see the light. 
 
 PASSETH BY. M7 
 
 The light of the body is 
 the eye : therefore when 
 thine eye is single, thy 
 whole body also is full of 
 light ; but when thine eye is 
 evil, thy body also is full of 
 darkness. 
 
 Take heed therefore, that 
 the light which is in thee be 
 not darkness. 
 
 If thy whole body there- 
 fore be full of light, having 
 no part dark, the whole 
 shall be. full of light, as 
 when the bright shining of 
 a candle doth give thee 
 light. 
 
 When the unclean spirit 
 is gone out of a man, he 
 walketh through dry places, 
 seeking rest ; and finding 
 none, he saith, I will return 
 unto my house whence I 
 came out. 
 
 And when he cometh, he 
 findeth it swept and gar- 
 nished. 
 
 Then goeth he and taketh 
 with himself seven other 
 
'4* JESUS OF 
 
 spirits more wicked than 
 himself, and they enter in 
 and dwell there : and the 
 last state of that man is 
 worse than the first; Even 
 so shall it be also unto this 
 wicked generation. 
 
 And it came to pass, as 
 He spake these things, a 
 certain woman of the com- 
 pany lifted np her voice, 
 aud said unto Him, Blessed 
 is the womb that bare thee, 
 and the paps which thou 
 hast sucked ! 
 
 But He said. Yea, rather 
 blessed are they that hear 
 the word of God and keep 
 it. 
 
 While He yet talked to 
 the people, behold, His 
 mother and His brethren 
 stood without, desiring to 
 speak with Him, and could 
 not come at Him for the 
 press ; aud, standing with- 
 out, sent unto Him, calling 
 Him. 
 
 And the multitude sat 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 about Him, and one said 
 unto Him, Behold thy 
 mother and thy brethren 
 without seek for thee, de- 
 siring to speak with 
 thee. 
 
 But He answered and 
 said unto him that told 
 Him, Who is my mother? 
 and who are my brethren? 
 
 And He stretched forth 
 His hand toward His dis- 
 ciples, and said, Behold my 
 mother and my brethren ! 
 
 For whosoever shall do the 
 will of my Father which is 
 in heaven, the same is my 
 brother, and sister, and 
 mother. 
 
 My mother and my 
 brethren are these which 
 hear the word of God, and 
 do it. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 AND as He spake a cer- 
 tain Pharisee besought 
 Him to dine with him ; and 
 
I 'ASS I 
 
 He went in, and sat down 
 to meat. 
 
 And when the Pharisee 
 saw if, he marvelled that 
 He had not first washed be- 
 fore dinner. 
 
 And the Lord said rmto 
 him, Now do ye Phari- 
 sees make clean the outside 
 of the enp and the platter ; 
 but your inward part is full 
 of ravening and wicked- 
 ness. 
 
 Ye fools ! did not He 
 that made that which is 
 without, make that which 
 is within also ? 
 
 But rather give alms of 
 such things as ye have ; 
 and, behold, all things are 
 clean unto yon. 
 
 But woe unto you Phari- 
 sees ! for ye tithe mint and 
 rue and all manner of 
 herbs, and pass over judg- 
 ment and the love of God : 
 these ought ye to have done, 
 and not to leave the other 
 undone. 
 
 ni by. 
 
 149 
 
 Woe unto yon, Phari- 
 sees ! for ye love the upper- 
 most seats in the synagogues 
 and greetings in the 
 markets. 
 
 Woe unto you , scribes and 
 Pharisees, hypocrites ! for 
 ye are as graves which ap- 
 pear not, and the men that 
 walk over them are not aware 
 of them. 
 
 Then answered one of the 
 lawyers, and saiduntoHim, 
 Master, thus saying, thou 
 reproachest us also. 
 
 And He said, Woe unto 
 you also, ye lawyers ! for ye 
 lade men w i t h burdens 
 grievous to be borne, and 
 ye yourselves touch not the 
 burdens with one of your 
 fingers. 
 
 Woe unto you ! for ye 
 build the sepulchres of the 
 prophets, and your fathers 
 killed them. 
 
 Truly ye bear witness 
 that ye allow the deeds of 
 your fathers : for they in- 
 
i5o JESUS OF 
 
 deed killed them, and ye 
 build their sepulchres. 
 
 Therefore also said the 
 wisdom of God, I will send 
 them prophets and apostles, 
 and some of them they shall 
 slay and persecute : 
 
 That the blood of all the 
 prophets, which was shed 
 from the foundation of the 
 world, may be required of 
 this generation ; 
 
 From the blood of Abel 
 unto the blood of Zacharias, 
 which perished between the 
 altar and the temple : verily 
 I say unto you, It shall be 
 required of this generation. 
 
 Woe unto you, lawyers ! 
 for ye have taken away the 
 key of knowledge: ye 
 entered not in yourselves, 
 and them that were enter- 
 ing in ye hindered. 
 
 And as He said these 
 things unto them , the 
 scribes and the Pharisees 
 began to urge Him vehe- 
 mently, and to provoke 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Him to speak of many 
 things. 
 
 Laying wait for Him, and 
 seeking to catch something 
 out of His mouth, that they 
 might accuse Him. 
 
 In the mean time when 
 there were gathered to- 
 gether an innumerable mul- 
 titude of people, insomuch 
 that they trode one upon 
 another, He began to sa}- 
 unto His disciples first of 
 all, Beware ye of the leaven 
 of the Pharisees, which is 
 hypocrisy. 
 
 For there is nothing cov- 
 ered, that shall not be re- 
 vealed : neither hid, that 
 shall not be known. 
 
 Therefore, whatsoever ye 
 have spoken in darkness 
 shall be heard in the light ; 
 and that which ye have 
 spoken in the ear in closets 
 shall be proclaimed upon 
 the housetops. 
 
 And I say unto you, my 
 friends, Be not afraid of 
 
them that kill the body, 
 and after that have no more 
 that they can do. 
 
 But I will forewarn you 
 whom ye shall fear. Fear 
 Him, which after He hath 
 killed hath power to cast 
 into hell ; yea, I say unto 
 you, Fear Him ! 
 
 Are not five sparrows 
 sold for two farthings? and 
 not one of them is forgotten 
 before God. 
 
 But even the very hairs 
 of your head are all num- 
 bered. Fear not therefore : 
 ye are of more value than 
 many sparrows. 
 
 Also I say unto you, 
 Whosoever shall confess me 
 before men, him shall the 
 vSon of Man also confess be- 
 fore the angels of God. 
 
 But he that denieth me 
 before men shall be denied 
 before the angels of God. 
 
 And when they bring 
 you unto the synagogues, 
 and unto magistrates, and 
 
 f>ASSETH BY. "5' 
 
 powers, take ye no thought 
 how or what thing ye shall 
 answer, or what ye shall 
 say : for the Holy Ghost 
 shall teach you in the same 
 hour what ye ought to say. 
 
 % And one of the com- 
 pany said unto Him, Master 
 speak to my brother, that 
 he divide the inheritance 
 with me. 
 
 And He said unto him, 
 Man, who made me a judge 
 or a divider over you ? 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Take heed, and beware of 
 covetousness : for a man's 
 life consisteth not in the 
 abundance of the things 
 which he possesseth. 
 
 And He spake a parable 
 unto them, saying, The 
 ground of a certain rich 
 man brought forth plenti- 
 fully : 
 
 And he thought within 
 himself, saying, What shall 
 I do, because I have no 
 
i 5 2 JESUS OF 
 
 room where to bestow my 
 fruits ? 
 
 And he said, This will I 
 do : I will pull down my 
 barns, and build greater ; 
 and there will I bestow 
 all my fruits and my 
 goods. 
 
 And I will say to my soul. 
 Soul, thou hast much goods 
 laid up for many years ; 
 take thine ease, eat, drink, 
 and be merry. 
 
 But God said unto him, 
 thou fool, this night thy 
 .soul shall be required of 
 thee : then whose shall those 
 things be, which thou hast 
 provided ? 
 
 So is he that layeth up 
 treasure for himself, and is 
 not rich toward God. 
 
 And He said unto His 
 disciples, Therefore I say 
 unto you, Take no thought 
 for your life, what ye shall 
 eat ; neither for the body, 
 what ye shall put on. 
 
 The life is more than 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 meat, and the body is more 
 than raiment. 
 
 Consider the ravens : for 
 they neither sow nor reap ; 
 which neither have store- 
 house nor barn ; and God 
 feedeth them : how much 
 more are ye better than the 
 fowls ? 
 
 And which of you with 
 taking thought can add to 
 his stature one cubit ? 
 
 If ye then be not able to 
 do that thing which is least, 
 why take ye thought for 
 the rest ? 
 
 Consider the lilies how they 
 grow : they toil not, they 
 spin not ; and yet I say 
 unto you, that Solomon in 
 all his glory was not ar- 
 rayed like one of these. 
 
 If then God so clothe the 
 grass, which is to-day in the 
 field, and to-morrow is cast 
 in to the oven ; how much 
 more will He clothe you, O 
 ye of little faifh ? 
 
 And seek not ye what ye 
 
They toil not, neither do they spin."

 shall eat, or what ye shall 
 drink, neither be ye of 
 doubtful mind. 
 
 For all these things do 
 the nations of the world 
 seek after : and your Father 
 knoweth that ye have need 
 of these things. 
 
 But rather seek ye the 
 kingdom of God ; and all 
 these things shall be added 
 unto you. 
 
 Fear not, little flock ; for 
 it is your Father's good

 Sell that

 ye have, and 
 provide your- 
 selves bags which wax not 
 old, a treasure in the heav- 
 ens that failest not, where 
 no thief approacheth, nei- 
 ther moth corrupteth. 
 
 For where your treasure 
 is, there will your heart be 
 also. 
 
 Let your loins be girded 
 about, and your lights burn- 
 ing ; and ye yourselves like 
 
 unto men that wait for their 
 lord, when he will return 
 from the wedding ; that 
 when he cometh and knock- 
 eth, they may open unto 
 him immediately. 
 
 Blessed are those servants, 
 whom the lord when he 
 cometh shall find watching ! 
 verily I say unto you, 
 That he shall gird him- 
 self, and make them to 
 sit down to meat, and 
 will come forth and serve 
 them. 
 
 And if he shall come in 
 the second watch, or come 
 in the third watch, and find 
 them so, blessed are those 
 servants ! 
 
 And this know, that if 
 the goodman of the house 
 had known what hour the 
 thief would come, he would 
 have watched, and not have 
 suffered his house to be 
 broken through. 
 
 Be ye therefore ready 
 also ; for the Sou of Man 
 
>s6 JESUS OF 
 
 cometh at an hour when ye 
 think not. 
 
 Then Peter said unto Him, 
 Lord, speakest thou this 
 parable unto us, or even to 
 all? 
 
 And the Lord said, Who 
 then is that faithful and 
 wise steward, whom his 
 lord shall make ruler over 
 his household, to give them 
 their portion of meat in due 
 season ? 
 
 Blessed is that servant, 
 whom his lord when he 
 cometh shall find so doing ! 
 
 Of a truth I say unto 
 you, that he will make him 
 ruler over all that he hath. 
 
 But and if that servant 
 say in his heart, my lord 
 delayeth his coming ; and 
 shall begin to beat the men- 
 servants and maidens, and 
 to eat and drink, and to be 
 drunken ; 
 
 The lord of that servant 
 will come in a day when he 
 looketh not for him, and at an 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 hour when he is not aware, 
 and will cut him in sunder, 
 and will appoint him his 
 portion with the unbeliev- 
 ers. 
 
 And that servant, which 
 knew his lord's will, and 
 prepared not himself, neither 
 did according to his will, 
 shall be beaten with many 
 stripes. 
 
 But he that knew not, and 
 did commit things worthy of 
 stripes shall be beaten with 
 few stripes. For unto whom- 
 soever much is given, of him 
 shall be much required : and 
 to whom men have commit- 
 ted much, of him they will 
 ask the more. 
 
 I am come to send fire on 
 the earth ; and what will I, 
 if it be already kindled? 
 
 But I have a baptism to 
 be baptized with ; and how 
 am I straitened till it be ac- 
 complished ! 
 
 Suppose ye that I am 
 come to give peace on earth?

 I tell you, Nay ; but rather 
 division : for from hence- 
 forth there shall be five in 
 one house divided, three 
 against two, and two against 
 three. 
 
 The father shall be divi- 
 ded against the son, and the 
 son against the father , the 
 mother against the daugh- 
 ter, and the d a u g h t e r 
 against the mother ; the 
 mother-in-law against her 
 daughter-in-law, and the 
 daughter-in-law against her 
 mother-in-law. 
 
 And He said also to the 
 people, When ye see a cloud 
 rise out of the w est, 
 straightway ye say, There 
 eometh a shower ; and so 
 it is. 
 
 And when ye see the 
 south wind blow, ye say, 
 There will be heat ; and it 
 eometh to pass. 
 
 Ye hypocrites, ye can dis- 
 cern the face of the sky and 
 of the earth ; but how is it 
 
 that ye do not discern this 
 time ? 
 
 Yea, and why even <>t 
 yourselves judge ye not 
 what is right ? 
 
 When thou goest witli 
 thine adversary to the mag- 
 istrate, as thou art in the 
 way, give diligence that 
 thou mayest be delivered 
 from him ; lest he hale 
 thee to the judge, and the 
 judge deliver thee to the 
 officer, and the officer cast 
 thee into prison. 
 
 1 tell thee, thou shalt 
 not depart thence, till 
 thou hast paid the very last 
 mite. 
 
 There were present at 
 that season some that told 
 Him of the Galileans, whose 
 blood Pilate had mingled 
 with their sacrifices. 
 
 A.nd Jesus answering said 
 unto them, Suppose ye 
 that these Galileans were 
 sinners above all the Gali- 
 
i5« JESUS OF 
 
 leans, because they suffered 
 such things ? 
 
 I tell you, Nay : but, ex- 
 cept ye repent, ye shall all 
 likewise perish. 
 
 Or those eighteen, upon 
 whom the tower in Siloam 
 fell, and slew them, think 
 ye that they were sinners 
 above all men that dwelt in 
 Jerusalem ? 
 
 I tell you, Nay : but, ex- 
 cept ye repent, ye shall all 
 likewise perish. 
 
 He spake also this par- 
 able : A certain man had a 
 fig tree planted in his vine- 
 yard ; and he came and 
 sought fruit thereon, and 
 found none. 
 
 Then said he unto the 
 dresser of his vineyard, Be- 
 hold, these three years I 
 come seeking fruit on this 
 fig tree, and find none : 
 cut it down ; why cumber- 
 eth it the ground ? 
 
 And he answering said 
 unto him, Lord, let it alone 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 this year also, till 1 shall 
 dig about it, and dung it: 
 and if it bear fruit, well : 
 and if not, then after that 
 thou shalt cut it down. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 THE PARABLES 
 
 THE same da}- w cut 
 Jesus out of the house, 
 and sat by the sea side. 
 
 And great multitudes 
 were gathered together unto 
 Him, so that He went into 
 a ship, and sat ; and the 
 whole multitude stood on 
 the shore. 
 
 And He spake many things 
 unto them in parables, say- 
 ing, Behold, a sower went 
 forth to sow ; 
 
 And w hen he sowed, 
 some seeds fell by the way 
 side, and the fowls came 
 and devoured them up : 
 
 Some fell upon stony 
 places, where they had not 
 much earth : and forthwith 
 

 u Behold a sower went forth to sow. 
 
they sprung tip, because 
 they had no deepness of 
 
 earth : 
 
 And when the sun was 
 
 up, they were scorched , 
 and because they had no 
 root, they withered away. 
 
 And some fell a m ong 
 thorns ; and the thorns 
 sprung up, and choked 
 them : 
 
 But other fell into good 
 ground, and brought forth 
 fruit, some a hundredfold, 
 some .sixty fold, some thirty- 
 fold. 
 
 Who hath ears to hear, 
 let him hear. 
 
 Another parable put He 
 forth unto them, saying, 
 The kingdom of heaven is 
 likened unto a man which 
 sowed good seed in his 
 field ; but while men slept, 
 his enemy came and sowed 
 tares among the wheat, and 
 went his way. 
 
 But when the blade was 
 sprung up, a n d brought 
 
 PAS5 I BY. 
 
 forth fruit, 
 
 161 
 then appeared 
 
 tlie tares also. 
 
 So the servants of the 
 householder came and said 
 unto him, Sir, didst not 
 thou sow good seed in thy 
 field ? from whence then 
 hath it tares ? 
 
 He said unto them, An 
 enemy has done this. The 
 servants said unto him, 
 Wilt thou then that we go 
 and gather them up ? 
 
 But he said, Nay ; lest 
 while ye gather up the tares 
 ye root up also the wheat 
 with them. 
 
 Let both grow together 
 until the harvest : and in 
 the time of harvest I will 
 say to the reapers, Gather 
 ye together first the tares, 
 and bind them in bundles 
 to burn them : but gather 
 the wheat into my barn. 
 
 And He said, So is the 
 kingdom of God, as if a 
 man should cast seed into 
 the ground ; and should 
 
l62 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 sleep, and rise night and 
 day and the seed should 
 spring and grow up, he 
 knoweth not how. 
 
 For the earth bringeth 
 forth fruit of herself ; first 
 the blade, then the ear, 
 after that the full corn in 
 tlie ear. 
 
 But when the fruit is 
 brought forth, immediately 
 he putteth in the sickle, be- 
 cause the harvest is come. 
 
 ^[ Another parable p u t 
 He forth unto them, say- 
 ing, the kingdom of heaven 
 is like to a grain of must- 
 ard seed, which .a man took 
 and sowed in his field : 
 
 Which indeed is the least 
 of all seeds ; but when it is 
 grown, it is the greatest 
 among herbs, and becometh 
 a tree, so that the birds of 
 the air come and lodge in 
 the branches thereof, 
 
 ^J Another parable spake 
 
 He unto them : The king- 
 dom of heaven is like unto 
 leaven, which a woman 
 took, and hid in three 
 measures of meal, till the 
 whole was leavened. 
 
 All these things spake 
 Jesus unto the multitude in 
 parables ; and without a 
 parable spake He not unto 
 them 
 
 That it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by the 
 prophet, saying, I will open 
 my mouth in parables ; I 
 will utter things w h i c h 
 have been kept secret from 
 the f oundat io n of the 
 world. 
 
 Who hath ears to hear, 
 let him hear. 
 
 And the disciples came, 
 and said unto Him, Why 
 speakest thou unto them in 
 parables ? 
 
 He answered and said 
 unto them, Because it is 
 given unto you to know the 
 mysteries of the kingdom 
 
PASSETH 
 
 of heaven, but to them it is 
 
 not given. 
 
 For whosoever hath, to 
 him shall be given, and he 
 shall have more abundance : 
 but whosoever hath not, 
 from him shall be taken 
 away even that he hath. 
 
 Therefore speak I to them 
 in parables : because they 
 seeing see not ; and hearing 
 they hear not, neither do 
 they understand. 
 
 And in them is fulfilled 
 the prophecy of Esaias, 
 which saith, By hearing ye 
 shall hear, and shall not 
 understand ; and seeing ye 
 shall see, and shall not per- 
 ceive : 
 
 For this people's heart is 
 waxed gross, and their ears 
 are dull of hearing, and 
 their eyes they have closed ; 
 lest at any time they should 
 see with their eyes, and 
 hear with their ears, and 
 should understa n d with 
 their heart, and should be 
 
 Br. 
 
 •«.i 
 
 converted, and I should heal 
 them. 
 
 But blessed are your eyes, 
 for they see : and your ears 
 for they hear. 
 
 For verily I say unto 
 you, That many prophets 
 and righteous men have de- 
 sired to see those things which 
 ye see, and have not seen 
 them ; and to hear those 
 things which ye hear, and 
 have not heard them. 
 
 Hear ye therefore the 
 parable of the sower. 
 
 When any one heareth 
 the word of the kingdom, 
 and understandeth it not, 
 then cometh the wicked 
 one, and catcheth away that 
 which was sown in his 
 heart. This is he which re- 
 ceived seed by the way 
 side. 
 
 But he that received the 
 seed into stony places, the 
 same is he that heareth the 
 word, and anon with joy 
 receiveth it ; 
 
i6 4 JESUS OF 
 
 Yet hath he not root in 
 himself, but dureth for a 
 while : for when tribula- 
 tion or persecution ariseth 
 because of the word, by 
 and by he is offended. 
 
 He also that received 
 seed among the thorns is he 
 that heareth the word ; and 
 the care of this world, and 
 the deceitfulness of riches, 
 choke the word, and he be- 
 cometh unfruitful. 
 
 But he that received seed 
 into the good ground is he 
 that heareth the word, and 
 understandeth it; which 
 alsobeareth fruit, and bring- 
 eth forth some a hundredfold 
 some sixty, some thirty. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 No man, when he hath 
 lighted a candle, covereth 
 it with a vessel, or putteth 
 */ under a bushel, or under 
 a bed ; but setteth it on a 
 candlestick, that they which 
 enter in may see the light. 
 
 For nothing is secret, that 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 shall not be made manifest ; 
 neither any tiling hid that 
 shall not be known and 
 come abroad. 
 
 Take heed therefere how 
 ye hear, and what ye hear. 
 
 With what measure ye 
 mete, it shall be measured 
 to you ; and unto you that 
 hear, shall more be given. 
 
 For whosoever hath, to 
 him shall be given ; and 
 whosoever hath not, from 
 him shall be taken even that 
 which he seemeth to have. 
 
 And the disciples said 
 Declare unto us the parable 
 of the tares of the field. 
 
 He answered a n d said 
 unto them, He that soweth 
 the good seed is the Son of 
 Man ; 
 
 The field is the world ; 
 the good seed are the chil- 
 dren of the kingdom ; but 
 the tares are the children of 
 the wicked one ; 
 
 The enemy that sowed 
 them is the devil ; the har- 
 
vest is the end of the 
 world ; and the reapers are 
 the angels. 
 
 As therefore the tares are 
 gathered and burned in the 
 fire ; so shall it be in the 
 end of this world. 
 
 The Son of Man shall 
 send forth His angels, and 
 they shall gather out of His 
 kingdom all things that 
 offend, and them which do 
 iniquity ; and shall cast 
 them into a furnace of fire : 
 there shall be wailing and 
 gnashing of teeth. 
 
 Then shall the righteous 
 shine forth as the sun in the 
 kingdom of their Father. 
 Who hath ears to hear, let 
 him hear. 
 
 Again, the kingdom of 
 heaven is like unto treasure 
 hid in a field ; the which 
 when a man hath found, he 
 hideth, and for joy thereof 
 goeth, and selleth all that 
 he hath, and buyeth that 
 field.

 the kingdom of

 Again 
 heaven is like unto a 
 merchant m a n , seeking 
 goodly pearls : 
 
 Who, when he had found 
 one pearl of great price, 
 went and sold all that he 
 had, and bought it. 
 
 Again, the kingdom of 
 heaven is like unto a net, 
 that was cast into the sea, 
 and gathered of every 
 kind : 
 
 Which, when it was full, 
 they drew to shore, and 
 sat down, and gathered the 
 good into vessels, but cast 
 the bad away. 
 
 So shall it be at the end 
 of the world : the angels 
 shall come forth, and sever 
 the wicked from among 
 the just. 
 
 And shall cast them into 
 the furnace of fire : there 
 shall be wailing and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 Jesus saith unto them, 
 Have ve understood all 
 
166 JESUS OF 
 
 these things ? They say unto 
 Him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 Then said He unto them, 
 Therefore every scribe 
 which is instructed unto the 
 kingdom of heaven, is like 
 unto a man that is a house- 
 holder, which bringeth forth 
 out of his treasure things 
 new and old. 
 
 And it came to pass, that 
 when Jesus had finished 
 these parables, He departed 
 thence. 
 
 And the same day when 
 the even was come, when 
 Jesus saw great multitudes 
 about Him, He entered into 
 a ship with His disciples, 
 and gave commandment 
 to depart unto the other 
 side. 
 
 And a certain scribe came 
 and said unto Him, Master, 
 I will follow thee whither- 
 soever thou goest. 
 
 And Jesus saith unto him , 
 Foxes have holes, and birds 
 of the air have nests ; but 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 the Sou of Man hath not 
 where to lay His head. 
 
 And He said unto 
 another. Follow me. But 
 he said, Lord, suffer me 
 first to go and bury my 
 father. 
 
 Jesus said unto him, Let 
 the dead bury their dead : 
 but go thou and preach the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 And another also said, 
 Lord, I will follow thee ; but 
 let me first go bid them fare- 
 well, which are at home at 
 my house. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 No man, having put his 
 hand to the plough, and 
 looking back, is fit for the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII, 
 
 HE STILLEST THE TEMPEST. 
 
 AND the same day, when 
 the even was come, 
 He saith unto them, Let us 
 pass over unto the other side. 
 
"Peace, Be Still." 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 i6g 
 
 And when they had sent 
 away the multitude, they 
 took Him even as He was 
 in the ship. And there 
 Were also with Him other 
 little ships. 
 
 And there arose a great 
 storm of wind, and the 
 waves beat into the ship, so 
 that it was now full. 
 
 And He was in the hinder 
 part of the ship asleep on a 
 pillow : and they awake Him , 
 and say unto Him, Master, 
 carest thou not that we per- 
 ish ? 
 
 And He arose, and re- 
 buked the wind, and said 
 unto the sea, Peace, be 
 still. And the wind ceased, 
 and there was a great calm. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Why are ye so fearful ? 
 how is it that ye have no 
 faith ? 
 
 And they feared exceed- 
 ingly, and said one to 
 another, What manner of 
 man is this, that even 
 
 the wind and the sea obey 
 Him. 
 
 HE CASTETH OUT DKVILS. 
 
 And they came over unto 
 the other side of the sea, 
 into the country of the 
 Gadarenes, which is over 
 against Galilee. 
 
 And when He was come 
 out of the ship , imme- 
 diately there met Him com- 
 ing out of the tombs, a 
 certain man with an un- 
 clean spirit, exceeding 
 fierce, so that no m a n 
 might pass by that way ; 
 which had devils long time, 
 and ware no clothes, neither 
 abode in any house, but had 
 his dwelling among the 
 tombs. 
 
 And no man could bind 
 him, no, not with chains : 
 because that he had been 
 often bound with fetters 
 and chains, and the chains 
 had been plucked asunder 
 by him, and the fetters 
 
170 JESUS OF 
 
 broken in pieces : neither 
 could any man tame him. 
 
 And always, night and 
 day, he was in the moun- 
 tains, and in the tombs, 
 crying, and cutting himself 
 with stones. 
 
 But when he saw Jesus 
 afar off, he ran and fell 
 down before Him, and wor- 
 shipped Him ; 
 
 And cried with a loud 
 voice, and said, What have 
 I to do with thee, Jesus, 
 thou Son of the most high 
 God ? Art thou come hither 
 to torment us before the 
 time? I beseech thee, I 
 adjure thee by God, that 
 thou torment me not. 
 
 (For He said unto Him, 
 Come out of the man, thou 
 unclean spirit. For often- 
 times it had caught him : 
 and he was kept bound 
 with chains and fetters ; 
 and he brake the bands, 
 and was driven of the devil 
 into the wilderness.) 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And Jesus asked him, What 
 is thy name? And he ans- 
 wered, saying, My name is 
 Legion : for we are many. 
 (Because many devils were 
 entered into him. ) 
 
 And they besought Him 
 much that He would not 
 send them away out of the 
 country, and that He would 
 not command them to go 
 out into the deep. 
 
 Now there was a good 
 way off from them, nigh 
 unto the mountains, a great 
 herd of swine feeding. 
 
 And all the devils be- 
 sought Him, saying, If thou 
 cast us out, suffer us to go 
 away into the herd of swine, 
 that we may enter into 
 them. 
 
 HE PERMITTETH THE DE- 
 VILS TO ENTER INTO 
 SWINE. 
 
 And forthwith Jesus gave 
 them leave, and said un*o 
 them, Go. 
 
PASSE7 
 
 Then went the devils out 
 of the man, and entered 
 into the swine : and, be- 
 hold, the whole herd of 
 swine ran violently down a 
 steep place into the sea, 
 ( they were about two thou- 
 sand,) and were choked in 
 the sea, and perished. 
 
 When they that fed the 
 swine saw what was done, 
 they fled, and went their 
 ways into the city and 
 country, and told every 
 thing, and what was be- 
 fallen to the possessed of 
 the devils. 
 
 And, behold, the whole 
 city went out to meet Jesus, 
 and to see what it was that 
 was done. 
 
 And- they come to Jesus, 
 and see him that was pos- 
 sessed w i t h the devils, 
 and had the legion, sitting 
 at the feet of Jesus, clothed, 
 and in his right mind : and 
 they were afraid. 
 
 They also which saw /'/. 
 
 H BY. 
 
 171 
 
 told them by what means 
 he that was possessed of the 
 devils was healed, and also 
 concerning the swine. 
 
 Then the whole multi- 
 tude of the country of the 
 Gadarenes round about, be- 
 sought Jesus that He 
 would depart out of their 
 coasts ; ( for they were 
 taken with great fear :) and 
 He went up into the ship 
 and returned back again. 
 
 And when He was come 
 into the ship, the man out 
 of whom the devils were 
 departed, besought Him that 
 he might be with Him: 
 
 Howbeit Jesus suffered 
 him not, but saith unto 
 him, Go home to thy 
 friends, and tell them how 
 great things the Lord hath 
 done for thee, and hath had 
 compassion on thee. 
 
 And he departed, and 
 began to publish in Deca- 
 polis and throughout the 
 whole city how great things 
 
172 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 Jesus had done for him : 
 and all men did marvel. 
 
 And when Jesus w a s 
 passed over again by ship 
 unto the other side, into 
 His own city, the people 
 gladly received Him : for 
 the}' were all waiting for 
 Him. 
 
 HE HEALETH THE WO- 
 MAN*, AXDRAISETH FROM 
 DEATH JAIRUS' DAUGH- 
 TER, 
 
 And, behold, there came 
 a man named Jairus, and 
 he was a ruler of the 
 synagogue; and he fell down 
 at Jesus' feet, and besought 
 Him that He would come 
 into his house : 
 
 For he had one o n 1 y 
 daughter, about t \v e 1 v e 
 years of age, and she lay a 
 dying. But as He went 
 the people thronged Him. 
 
 ^[ And a woman having 
 an issue of blood twelve 
 
 years, which had spent all 
 her living upon physicians, 
 neither could be healed of 
 any. 
 
 Came behind Him, and 
 touched the border of His 
 garment : and immediately 
 her issue of blood stanched. 
 
 And Jesus said, Who 
 touched me ? When all 
 denied, Peter and they that 
 were with Him said, Master 
 the multitude throng thee 
 and press thee, and say est 
 thou, Who touched me? 
 
 And Jesus said, Some- 
 bod}' hath touched me: 
 for I perceive that virtue is 
 gone out of me. 
 
 And when the woman saw 
 that she was not hid, she 
 came trembling, and falling 
 down before Him, she de- 
 clared unto Him before all 
 the people for what cause 
 she had touched Him, and 
 how she was healed imme- 
 diately. 
 
 And He said unto her,

 Daughter, be of good com-

 thee whole ; go in peace. 
 
 While He yet spake, there 
 cometh one from the ruler 
 of the synagogue's house, 
 saying to him, Thy daugh- 
 ter is dead ; trouble not the 
 master. 
 
 But when Jesus heard //, 
 He answered him, saying, 
 Fear not : believe only, and 
 she shall be made whole. 
 
 And when He came into 
 the house, He suffered no 
 man to go in save Peter, 
 and James, and John, and 
 the father and the mother 
 of the maiden. 
 
 And all wept, and be- 
 wailed her : but He said, 
 Weep not ; she is not dead, 
 but sleepeth. 
 
 And the}- laughed Him 
 to scorn, knowing that she 
 was dead. 
 
 But when He had put 
 them all out, He taketh the 
 father and the mother of 
 
 BY. «75 
 
 the damsel, and them that 
 were with Him, and enter - 
 eth in where the damsel 
 was lying. 
 
 And He took her by the 
 hand, and called, saying,Tal- 
 itha eumi ! (which is, being 
 interpreted, ) Damsel, I say 
 unto thee, arise ! 
 
 And her spirit came 
 again, and straightway she 
 arose and walked : for she 
 was of /he age of twelve 
 years. And He commanded 
 that something should be 
 given her to eat. 
 
 And her parents were as- 
 tonished with a great as- 
 t o 11 i s h m e 11 1 ; but He 
 charged them that they 
 should tell no man what 
 was done. 
 
 OIVETH SIGHT TO TWO 
 BLIND MEN. 
 
 And when Jesus depart- 
 ed thence, two blind men 
 followed Him, crying and 
 
, 7 6 JESUS OF 
 
 saying, Thou Son of David 
 have mercy on us ! 
 
 And when He was come 
 into the house, the blind 
 men came to Him : and 
 Jesus saith unto them, Be- 
 lieve ye that I am able to 
 do this : They said unto 
 Him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 Then touched He their 
 eyes, saying, According to 
 your faith be it unto you. 
 
 And their eyes were 
 opened ; and Jesus straitly 
 charged them, saying, See 
 that no man know it. 
 
 But they, when they had 
 departed, spread abroad 
 His fame in all that coun- 
 try. 
 
 HEAEETH A DUMB MAN POS- 
 SESSED OF A DEVIL. 
 
 As they went out, be- 
 hold, they brought to Him 
 a dumb man possessed of a 
 devil. 
 
 And when the devil was 
 cast out the dumb spake : 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 and the multitudes mar- 
 velled, saying, It was never 
 so seen in Israel. 
 
 But the Pharisees said, 
 He casteth out devils 
 through the prince of the 
 devils. 
 
 And Jesus went about all 
 the cities and villages, 
 teaching in their syna- 
 gogues, and preaching the 
 gospel of the kingdom, and 
 healing every sickness and 
 every disease among the 
 people. 
 
 But when He saw the 
 multitudes, He was moved 
 with compassion on them, 
 because they fainted, and 
 were scattered abroad, as 
 sheep having no shepherd. 
 
 Then saith He unto His 
 disciples, The harvest truly 
 is plenteous, but the labour- 
 ers are few. 
 
 Pray ye therefore the Lord 
 of the harvest, that He will 
 send forth labourers into 
 His harvest. 
 
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, 
 
 and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every 
 
 sickness and every disease among the people.

 CHRIST SENDETH OUT HIS 
 TWELVE APOSTLES. 
 
 AND when He had called 
 unto Him His twelve 
 
 disciples, He gave them 
 power against unclean spir- 
 its, to cast them out, and to 
 heal all manner of sick- 
 ness and all manner of 
 disease. 
 
 These twelve Jesus sent 
 forth, and commanded 
 them, saying, Go not into 
 the way of the Gentiles, 
 and into any city of the 
 Samaritans enter ye not : 
 
 But go rather to the lost 
 sheep of the house of 
 Israel. 
 
 And as ye go, preach, 
 saying, the kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 Heal the sick, cleanse the 
 lepers, raise the dead, cast 
 out devils : freely ye have 
 received, freely give. 
 
 Provide neither gold, nor 
 
 silver, nor brass in your 
 purses ; 
 
 Nor scrip for your jour- 
 ney, neither two coats, nei- 
 ther shoes, nor yet staves : 
 for the workman is worthy 
 of his meat. 
 
 And into whatsoever city 
 or town ye shall enter, in- 
 quire who in it is worthy ; 
 and there abide till ye go 
 thence. 
 
 And when ye come into a 
 house, salute it. 
 
 And if the h ouse be 
 worthy, let your peace 
 come upon it ; but if it be 
 not worthy, let your peace 
 return to you. 
 
 And whosoever shall not 
 receive you, nor hear your 
 words, when ye depart out 
 of that house or city, shake 
 off the dust of your feet. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, It 
 shall be more tolerable for 
 the land of Sodom and Go- 
 morrah in the day of judg- 
 ment, than for that city. 
 
i8o 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 Behold, I send you forth 
 as sheep in the midst of 
 wolves : be ye t h e r e f o r e 
 wise as serpents, and harm- 
 less as doves. 
 
 But beware of men : for 
 the}' will deliver you up to 
 the councils, and they will 
 scourge j'ou in their syna- 
 gogues ; 
 
 And ye shall be brought 
 before governors and kings 
 for my sake, for a testimony 
 against them and the Gen- 
 tiles. 
 
 But when they deliver 
 you up, take no thought 
 how or what ye shall speak : 
 for it shall be given you in 
 that same hour what y e 
 shall speak. 
 
 For it is not ye that speak 
 but the spirit of your Father 
 which speaketh in you. 
 
 And the brother shall de- 
 liver up the brother to 
 death, and the father the 
 child : and the children shall 
 rise up against their parents, 
 
 and cause them to be put to 
 death. 
 
 And ye shall be hated of 
 all men for my name's sake : 
 but he that endureth to the 
 end shall be saved. 
 
 But when they persecute 
 you in this city, flee ye into 
 another : for verily I say 
 unto you, Ye shall not have 
 gone over the cities of Israel, 
 till the Son of Man be come. 
 
 The disciple is not above 
 his master, nor the servant 
 above his lord. 
 
 It is enough for the dis- 
 ciple 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 ? 
 
 Fear them not therefore : 
 for there is nothing covered 
 that shall not be revealed ; 
 and hid, that shall not be 
 known. 
 
 What I tell vou in dark- 
 
PASSETH BY 
 ness, that speak ye in light : 
 and what ye hear in the 
 ear, ///a/ preach ye upon the 
 housetops. 
 
 And fear not 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. 
 
 Are not two sparrows sold 
 for a farthing ? and one of 
 them shall not fall on the 
 ground without your Father. 
 
 But the very hairs of 
 your head are all numbered. 
 
 Fear ye not therefore, ye 
 are of more value than 
 many sparrows. 
 
 Whosoever therefore 
 shall confess me before men, 
 him will I confess also be- 
 fore my Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 But whosoever shall deny 
 me before men, him will I 
 also deny before my Father 
 which is in heaven. 
 
 Think not that I am 
 
 181 
 
 come to send peace on 
 earth : I came not to send 
 peace, but a sword. 
 
 For I am come 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. 
 
 And a man's foes shall be 
 they of his own household. 
 
 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. 
 
 And he that taketh not 
 his cross and followeth after 
 me, is not worthy of me. 
 
 He that findeth his life 
 shall lose it: and he that 
 loseth his life for my sake 
 shall find it. 
 
 He that receiveth you re- 
 ceiveth me ; and he that re- 
 ceiveth me receiveth Him 
 that sent me. 
 
 He that receiveth a 
 
i»2 JESUS OF 
 
 prophet in the name of a 
 prophet shall reeeive a 
 prophet's reward ; and he 
 that receiveth a righteous 
 man in the name of a 
 righteous man shall re- 
 ceive a righteous man's re- 
 ward. 
 
 And whosoever shall give 
 to drink unto one of these 
 little ones a cup of cold 
 water ov\\ in the name of a 
 disciple, verily I say unto 
 you, he shall in no wise lose 
 his reward. 
 
 %\ And it came to pass 
 when Jesus had made an 
 end of commanding His 
 twelve disciples, He de- 
 parted thence to teach and 
 to preach in their cities. 
 
 And they went out and 
 preached that men should 
 repent. 
 
 And they cast out many 
 devils, and anointed with 
 oil many that were sick, 
 and healed them. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 WHEREFORE JOHN BAPTIST 
 WAS BEHEADED. 
 
 AT that time Herod the 
 tetrarch heard of the 
 fame of Jesus ; (for His 
 name was spread abroad ; ) 
 and he said, That John the 
 Baptist was risen from the 
 dead, and therefore mighty 
 works do shew forth them- 
 selves in him. 
 
 Others said, This is Elias. 
 And others said, That it is 
 a prophet, or as one of the 
 prophets. 
 
 But when Herod heard 
 thereof, he said, It is John, 
 whom I beheaded : he is 
 risen from the dead. 
 
 For Herod himself had 
 sent forth and laid hold 
 upon John, and bound him 
 in prison for Herodias' 
 sake, his brother Philip's 
 wife ; for he had married 
 her. 
 
 For John had said unto 
 
And the damsel rave it to her mother. 
 
PASSF.TH BY 
 
 Herod, It is not lawful for 
 thee to have thy brother's 
 wife. 
 
 Therefore Herodias had 
 a quarrel against him, and 
 would have killed him ; but 
 she could not : 
 
 For Herod feared John, 
 knowing that he was a just 
 man and a holy, and ob- 
 served him : and when he 
 heard him, he did many 
 things, and heard h i m 
 gladly. 
 
 And when a convenient 
 day was come, that Herod 
 on his birthday made a sup- 
 per to his lords, high cap- 
 tains, and chief estates of 
 Galilee ; 
 
 And when the daughter 
 of the said Herodias came 
 in and danced, and pleased 
 Herod and them that sat 
 with him, the king said 
 unto the damsel, Ask of me 
 whatsoever thou wilt, and I 
 will give it thee. 
 
 And he sware unto her, 
 
 ««5 
 
 Whatsoever thou shalt ask 
 of me, I will give it thee, 
 unto the half of my king- 
 dom. 
 
 And she went forth, and 
 said unto her mother, What 
 shall I ask ? And she said, 
 T h e head of John t h e 
 Baptist. 
 
 And she came in straight- 
 way with haste nuto the 
 king, and asked, saying, I 
 will that thou give me by 
 and by in a charger the 
 head of John the Baptist. 
 
 A.nd the king was exceed- 
 ing sorry ; yet for his oath's 
 sake, and for their sakes 
 which sat with him, he 
 would not reject her. 
 
 And immediately the 
 king sent an executioner, 
 and commanded his head to 
 be brought : and he went 
 and beheaded him in the 
 prison. 
 
 And brought his head in 
 a charger, and gave it 
 to the damsel ; and the 
 
i86 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 damsel gave it to her 
 mother. 
 
 And when his disciples 
 heard of it, they came and 
 took up his corpse, and laid 
 it in a tomb. 
 
 And the apostles gathered 
 themselves together unto 
 Jesus, and told Him all 
 things, both what they had 
 done, and what they had 
 taught. 
 
 And He said 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. 
 
 And He took them, by 
 ship privately into a desert 
 place belonging to the city 
 called Bethsaida. 
 
 And the people saw them 
 departing, and man}- knew 
 Him, and ran afoot thither 
 out of all cities, and out- 
 went them, and came to- 
 gether unto Him. 
 
 And Jesus, when He came 
 out, saw much people, and 
 was moved with compassion 
 toward them, because they 
 were as sheep not having 
 a shepherd : and He began 
 to teach them many things 
 and healed them that had 
 need of healing. 
 
 And when the day be- 
 gan to wear away, and was 
 now far spent, His disciples 
 came unto Him, saying, 
 This is a desert place, and 
 now the time is far passed : 
 
 Send the multitude away, 
 that they may go into the 
 towns and country round 
 about, and lodge and buy 
 themselves bread : for they 
 have nothing to eat ; for we 
 are here in a desert place. 
 
 But Jesus said unto them, 
 They need not depart ; give 
 ye them to eat. And they 
 say unto Him, Shall we go 
 and buy fwo hundred 
 pennyworth of bread, and 
 give them to eat. 
 
And they did all eat, and were rilled. 
 
And He saith unto Philip, 
 "Whence shall we buy bread 
 that these may eat ? (And 
 this He said to prove him : 
 for He Himself knew what 
 He would do. ) 
 
 Philip answered Him, 
 Two hundred pennyworth 
 of bread is not sufficient 
 for them, that every 
 one of them may take a 
 little. 
 
 He saith unto them, How 
 many loaves have ye? go 
 and see. And when they 
 knew, one of His disciples, 
 Andrew, Simon Peter's 
 brother, saith unto Him. 
 
 There is a lad here, which 
 hath five barley loaves and 
 two small fishes : but what 
 are they among so many ? 
 And they said, We have no 
 more but five loaves and 
 two fishes: except we 
 should go and buy meat for 
 all this people. 
 
 (For they were about 
 five thouand men. ) 
 
 PASSE I BY. 
 He 
 
 tStj 
 
 them 
 
 said, Bring 
 hither to me. 
 
 And He commanded 
 them to make the multi- 
 tude sit down by fifties in a 
 company, upon the green 
 grass. Now there was 
 much grass in the place. 
 So the men sat down, in 
 ranks, by hundreds, and 
 by fifties, in number about 
 five thousand. 
 
 And Jesus took the five 
 loaves, and the two fishes, 
 and looking up to heaven, 
 He blessed them, and 
 brake ; and when He had 
 given thanks, He distributed 
 to His disciples to set be- 
 fore the multitude ; and the 
 two fishes, likewise divided 
 He among them all, as 
 much as they would. 
 
 And they did all eat, and 
 were filled. 
 
 When they were filled, 
 He said unto His disciples, 
 Gather the fragments that 
 remain, that nothing be lost. 
 
»9o JESUS OF NAZARETI 
 
 Therefore they gathered 
 them together, a n d filled 
 twelve baskets full with the 
 fragments of the five barley 
 loaves, and of the fishes, 
 which remained over and 
 above unto them that had 
 eaten. 
 
 And they that had eaten 
 were about five thousand 
 men, beside women and 
 children. 
 
 Then those men, when 
 they had seen the miracle 
 that Jesus did, said, This is 
 of a truth that prophet that 
 should come into the world. 
 
 When Jesus therefore 
 perceived that they would 
 come and take Him by 
 force, to make Him a king, 
 straightway He constrained 
 His disciples to get into a 
 ship, and to go before Him 
 unto the other side, unto 
 Bethsaida, while He sent 
 away the people. 
 
 And His disciples went 
 down unto the sea, and en- 
 
 tered into a ship, and went 
 over the sea toward Caper- 
 naum. 
 
 And when He had sent 
 the multitudes away, He 
 went up into a mountain 
 apart to pray, Himself 
 alone. 
 
 And when the evening 
 was come, the ship was in 
 the midst of the sea, and 
 He alone on the land. 
 
 And the sea arose by 
 reason of a great wind that 
 blew. And it was n o w 
 dark, and Jesus was not 
 come to them, 
 
 But the ship was in the 
 midst of the sea, tossed with 
 waves. 
 
 CHRIST WALKETH ON THE 
 SEA. 
 
 And He saw them toil- 
 ing in rowing ; for the wind 
 was contrary unto them. 
 
 So when they had rowed 
 about five-and-twenty or 
 thirty furlongs, and about 
 
a 
 o 
 
 j i 
 
 :.' 
 
PASSE7 BY 
 
 the fourth watch of the 
 night, He cometh unto 
 them, walking upon the 
 sea, and would have passed 
 by them. 
 
 But when they saw Him 
 walking upon the sea, and 
 drawing nigh unto the ship, 
 they were troubled, saying, 
 It is a spirit ! and they 
 cried out for fear : for they 
 all saw Him, and were 
 troubled. 
 
 And immediately H e 
 talked with them, and saith 
 unto them, Be of good 
 cheer : it is I ; be not 
 afraid. 
 
 And Peter answered Him 
 and said, Lord, if it be thou, 
 bid me come unto thee on 
 the water. 
 
 And He said, Come. 
 And when Peter was come 
 down out of the ship, he 
 walked on the water to go 
 to Jesus. 
 
 And when he saw the 
 wind boisterous, he was 
 
 '93 
 
 afraid ; and beginning to 
 sink, he cried, saying, 
 Lord, save me ! 
 
 And immediately Jesus 
 stretched forth His hand, 
 and caught him, and said 
 unto him, O thou of little 
 faith, wherefore didst thou 
 doubt? 
 
 Then they willingly re- 
 ceived Him into the ship, 
 and the wind ceased ; and 
 immediately the ship was at 
 the land whither they went. 
 
 Then they that were in 
 the ship came and wor- 
 shipped Him, saying, Of a 
 truth thou art the Sou of 
 God! 
 
 And they were sore 
 amazed in themselves be- 
 yond measure, and won- 
 dered. For they consid- 
 ered not the miracle of the 
 loaves ; for their heart wag 
 hardened. 
 
 And they came into the 
 land of Gennesaret. And 
 when they were come out 
 
194 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 of the ship, straightway the 
 men of that place knew 
 Him. 
 
 And ran through that 
 whole region round about, 
 and began to carry about in 
 beds those that were sick, 
 where they heard He was. 
 
 And whithersoever H e 
 entered, into villages, or 
 cities, or country, they laid 
 the sick in the streets, and 
 besought Him that they 
 might touch if it were but 
 the border of His garment : 
 and as many as touched Him 
 were made perfectly whole. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 CHRIST HIMSELF THE 
 BREAD OF LIFE TO BE- 
 LIEVERS. 
 
 THE day following, when 
 the people, which 
 stood on the other side of 
 the sea, saw that there was 
 none other boat there, save 
 that one wherein His dis- 
 
 ciples were entered, and 
 that Jesus went not with 
 His disciples into the boat, 
 but that His disciples were 
 gone away alone ; 
 
 H o w b e i t there came 
 other boats from Tiberias 
 nigh unto the place where 
 they did eat bread, after 
 that the Lord had given 
 thanks ; 
 
 When the people there- 
 fore saw that Jesus was not 
 there, neither His disciples, 
 they also took shipping, 
 and came to Capernaum, 
 seeking for Jesus. 
 
 And when they had found 
 Him on the other side of 
 the sea, they said unto Him, 
 Rabbi, when earnest thou 
 hither ? 
 
 Jesus answered them and 
 said, Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, Ye seek me, not 
 because ye saw the miracles, 
 but because ye did eat of 
 the loaves, and were filled. 
 
 Labour not for the meat 
 
PASSETH 
 
 which pcrisheth, but for 
 that meat which eudureth 
 unto everlasting life, which 
 the Son of Man shall give 
 unto you : for Him hath 
 God the Father sealed, 
 
 Then said they unto Him, 
 What shall we do, that we 
 might work the works of 
 God? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto them, This is the work 
 of God, that ye believe on 
 Him whom He hath sent. 
 
 They said therefore unto 
 Him, What sign shewest 
 thou then, that we may 
 see, and believe thee ? what 
 dost thou work ? 
 
 Our fathers did eat manna 
 in the desert ; as it is writ- 
 ten, He gave them bread 
 from heaven to eat. 
 
 Then Jesus said nnto them, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, Moses gave not that 
 bread from heaven ; but my 
 Father giveth you the true 
 bread from heaven. 
 
 BY. >95 
 
 For the bread of God is 
 He which cometh dowu 
 from heaven, and giveth 
 life unto the world. 
 
 Then said they unto Him, 
 L,ord, evermore give us this 
 bread. 
 
 And Jesus said unto them, 
 I am the bread of life : he 
 that cometh to me shall 
 never hunger ; and he that 
 believeth on me shall never 
 thirst. 
 
 But I said unto you, That 
 ye also have seen me and 
 believe not. 
 
 All that the Father giveth 
 me shall come to me : and 
 him that cometh to me I 
 will in no wise cast out. 
 
 For I came down from 
 heaven, not to do mine own 
 will, but the will of Him 
 that sent me. 
 
 And this is the Father's 
 will which hath sent me, 
 that of all which He hath 
 given me I should lose 
 nothing, but should raise 
 
196 JESUS OF 
 
 it up again at the last 
 day. 
 
 And this is the will of 
 Him that sent me, that 
 every one which seeth the 
 Son, and believeth on Him, 
 may have everlasting life : 
 and I will raise him up at 
 the last day. 
 
 The Jews then murmured 
 at Him because He said, I 
 am the bread which came 
 down from heaven, 
 
 And they said is not this Je- 
 sus, the son of Joseph, whose 
 father and mother we know ? 
 how is it then that He 
 saith, I came down from 
 heaven ? 
 
 Jesus therefore answered 
 and said unto them, Mur- 
 mur not among yourselves. 
 
 No man can come to me, 
 except the Father which 
 hath sent me draw him : 
 and I will raise him up at 
 the last day. 
 
 It is written in the pro- 
 phets, And they shall be 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 all taught of God. Every 
 man therefore that hath 
 heard, and learned of the 
 Father, cometh unto me. 
 
 Not that any man hath 
 seen the Father, save He 
 which is of God, He hath 
 seen the Father. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say un- 
 to you, He that believeth 
 on me hath everlasting 
 life. 
 
 I am the bread of life, 
 
 Your fathers did eat 
 manna in the wilderness, 
 and are dead. 
 
 This is the bread which 
 cometh down from heaven, 
 that a man may eat thereof, 
 and not die. 
 
 I am the living bread 
 which came down from 
 heaven : if any man eat of 
 this bread, he shall live for 
 ever : and the bread that I 
 will give is my flesh, which 
 I will give for the life of 
 the world, 
 
 The Jews therefore strove 
 
PASSCTH BY. 
 
 »97 
 
 among themselves, saying, 
 How can this man give us 
 His flesh to eat ? 
 
 Then Jesus said unto them, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, Except ye eat the 
 flesh of the Son of man, 
 and drink His blood, ye 
 have no life in you. 
 
 Whoso eateth my flesh, 
 and drinketh my blood, 
 hath eternal life ; and I will 
 raise him up at the last day. 
 
 For my flesh is meat in- 
 deed, and my blood is drink 
 indeed. 
 
 He that eateth my flesh, 
 and drinketh my blood, 
 dwelleth in me, and I in 
 him. 
 
 As the living Father hath 
 sent me, and I live by the 
 Father: so he that 
 eateth me, even he shall 
 live by me: 
 
 This is that bread which 
 came down from heaven : 
 not as your fathers did eat 
 manna and are dead : he 
 
 that eateth of this bread 
 shall live for ever. 
 
 These things said He in 
 the synagogue, as He taught 
 in Capernaum. 
 
 Many of His disciples, 
 when they heard this, said, 
 This is a hard saying ; who 
 can hear it ? 
 
 When Jesus knew in 
 Himself that His disciples 
 murmured at it, He said 
 unto them, Doth this offend 
 you? 
 
 What and if ye shall see 
 the Son of Man ascend up 
 where He was before ? 
 
 It is the Spirit that 
 quickeneth ; the flesh prof- 
 iteth nothing : the words 
 that I speak unto you, they 
 are spirit, and they are life. 
 
 But there are some of 
 you who believe not. For 
 Jesus knew from the begin- 
 ning who they were that 
 believed not, and who 
 should betray Him. 
 
 And He said., Therefore 
 
i9» JESUS OF 
 
 said I unto you, that no 
 man can come unto me, ex- 
 cept it were given unto him 
 by my Father. 
 
 *[[ From that time many 
 of His disciples went back, 
 and walked no more with 
 Him. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto the 
 twelve, Will ye also go 
 away ? 
 
 Then Simon Peter an- 
 swered Him, Lord, to whom 
 shall we go ? thou hast the 
 words of eternal life. 
 
 And we believe and are 
 sure that thou art that 
 Christ, the Son of the liv- 
 ing God, 
 
 Jesus answered them , 
 Have not I chosen you 
 twelve, and one of you is a 
 devil : 
 
 He spake of Judas Isca- 
 riot, the son of Simon : for 
 he it was that should 
 betray Him, being one of 
 the twelve.

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 WHAT DEFILETH THE MAN. 
 
 THEN came together 
 unto Him the Phari- 
 sees, and certain of the 
 scribes, which came from 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 And when they saw some 
 of His disciples eat bread 
 with defiled, that is to say 
 with unwashen hands, they 
 found fault. 
 
 For the Pharisees, and all 
 the Jews, except they wash 
 their hands oft, eat not, 
 holding the tradition of the 
 elders. 
 
 And ivhen they come from 
 the market, except they 
 wash, they eat not. And 
 many other things there be, 
 which they have received 
 to hold, as the washing of 
 cups, and pots, brazen ves- 
 sels, and of tables. 
 
 Then the Pharisees and 
 scribes asked Him, W h y 
 walk not thy disciples 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 according to the tradition of 
 the elders, but eat bread 
 with unwashen hands? 
 
 He answered and said 
 unto them, Well hath 
 Esaias prophesied of yon 
 hypocrites, as it is written, 
 This people hononreth me 
 with their lips, but their 
 heart is far from me. 
 
 Howbeit in vain do they 
 worship me, teaching for 
 doctrines the command- 
 ments of men. 
 
 For laying aside the 
 commandment of God, ye 
 hold the tradition of men, 
 as the washing of 
 and cnps : 
 other such like things ye 
 do. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Full well ye reject the com- 
 mandment of God, that ye 
 may keep your own tradi- 
 tion. 
 
 For Moses said, Honour 
 thy father and thy mother ; 
 and, Whoso curseth father 
 
 pots 
 and m a n y 
 
 i 99 
 
 let him die the 
 
 or mother 
 death : 
 
 But ye say, If a man 
 shall say to his father or 
 mother, // is Corban, that 
 is to say, a gift, by whatso- 
 ever thou mightest be pro- 
 fited by me ; he shall be 
 free. 
 
 And ye suffer him no 
 more to do aught for his 
 father or mother ; 
 
 Making the word of God 
 of none effect through your 
 tradition, which ye have 
 delivered : and many such 
 like things do ye. 
 
 ^] And when He had 
 called all the people unto 
 Him, He said unto them, 
 Hearken unto me every one 
 of you, and understand : 
 
 There is nothing from 
 without a man, that entering 
 into him can defile him : 
 but the things which come 
 out of him, those are they 
 that defile the man. 
 
JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 If any man have ears to 
 hear, let him hear. 
 
 Then came His disciples, 
 and said unto Him, Know- 
 est thou that the Pharisees 
 were offended, after they 
 heard this saying ? 
 
 But He answered and 
 said, Every plant which my 
 heavenly Father hath not 
 planted shall be rooted up. 
 
 Let them alone : they be 
 blind leaders of the blind. 
 And if the blind lead the 
 blind, both shall fall into 
 the ditch. 
 
 Then answered Peter and 
 said unto Him, Declare 
 unto us this parable. 
 
 And Jesus said, Are ye 
 also yet without under- 
 standing ? 
 
 Do ye not yet understand, 
 that whatsoever entereth in 
 at the mouth goeth into the 
 belly, and is cast out into 
 the draught ? 
 
 But those things which 
 proceed out of the mouth 
 
 come forth from the heart ; 
 and they defile the man. 
 
 For out of the heart pro- 
 ceed evil thoughts, murders, 
 adulteries, fornications, 
 thefts, false witness, blas- 
 phemies : 
 
 These are the things which 
 defile a man : but to eat 
 with unwashen hands de- 
 fileth not a man. 
 
 HE HEAEETH THE SYRO- 
 PHCENICIAN WOMAN'S 
 DAUGHTER 
 
 And from thence He 
 arose, and went into the 
 borders of Tyre and Sidon, 
 and entered into a house, 
 and would have no man 
 know it : but He could not 
 be hid. 
 
 And, behold, a woman of 
 Canaan came out of the 
 same coasts, and cried unto 
 Him, saying, Have mercy 
 on me, O L,ord. thou Son of 
 David ; my daughter is 
 
"Great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt." 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 2<>t 
 
 grievously vexed with a 
 devil. 
 
 The woman was a Greek, 
 a Syrophoenician by nation ; 
 and she besought Him that 
 He would cast forth the 
 devil out of her daughter. 
 
 But He answered her not 
 a word. And His disciples 
 came and besought him, 
 saying, Send her away ; for 
 she crieth after us. 
 
 But He answered and 
 said, I am not sent but un- 
 to the lost sheep of the 
 house of Israel. 
 
 Then came she and wor- 
 shipped Him, saying, L,ord, 
 help me. 
 
 But He answered and 
 said, It is not meet to take 
 the children's bread, and 
 to cast it to dogs. 
 
 And she said, Truth, 
 Lord : yet the dogs eat of 
 the crumbs which fall from 
 their master's table. 
 
 Then Jesus answered and 
 said unto her, O woman, 
 
 great is thy faith : be it 
 unto thee even as thou wilt. 
 And her daughter was made 
 whole from that very hour. 
 And when she was come 
 to her house, she found the 
 devil gone out, and her 
 daughter laid upon tue bed. 
 
 HK CURETH A DEAF AND 
 STAMMERING ONE. 
 
 And again , departing 
 from the coasts of Tyre and 
 Sidon, He came unto the 
 sea of Galilee, through the 
 midst of the coasts of De- 
 capolis. 
 
 And they bring unto Him 
 one that was deaf, and had 
 an impediment in his 
 speech ; and they beseech 
 Him to put His hand 
 upon him. 
 
 And He took him aside 
 from the multitude, and put 
 His ringers into his ears, 
 and He spit, and touched 
 his tongue ; 
 
 And looking up to heaven, 
 
2o 4 JESUS OF 
 
 He sighed, and saith unto 
 him, Ephphatha, that is, 
 Be opened. 
 
 And straightway his eyes 
 were opened, and the string 
 of his tongue was loosed, 
 and he spake plain, 
 
 And He charged them 
 that they should tell no 
 man : but the more He 
 charged them, so much the 
 more a great deal they pub- 
 lished it: 
 
 And were beyond meas- 
 ure astonished, saying, He 
 hath done all things well : 
 He maketh both the deaf 
 to hear and the dumb to 
 speak. 
 
 And Jesus departed from 
 thence, and came nigh unto 
 the sea of Galilee ; and 
 went up into a mountain, 
 and sat down there. 
 
 And great multitudes 
 came unto Him, having 
 with them those that were 
 lame, blind, dumb, maimed, 
 and many others, and cast 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 them down at Jesus' feet ; 
 and He healed them : 
 
 Insomuch that the multi- 
 tude wondered, when they 
 saw the dumb to speak, the 
 maimed to be whole, the 
 lame to walk, and the 
 blind to see : and they 
 glorified the God of Israel. 
 
 € y Then Jesus called His 
 disciples unto Him, and 
 said, I have compassion on 
 the multitude, because they 
 continue with me now three 
 days, and have nothing to 
 eat : and I will not send 
 them away fasting, lest they 
 faint in the way. 
 
 And His disciples said unto 
 Him, Whence should we 
 have so much bread in the 
 wilderness, as to fill so 
 great a multitude ? 
 
 And Jesus saith unto them, 
 How many loves have ye ? 
 And they said, Seven, and 
 a few little fishes. 
 
 And He commanded the 
 
" I am the living bread which came down from heaven." 
 
CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 THE PHARISEES REQUIRE A 
 SIGN. 
 
 AND He sent away the 
 multitude, and took 
 ship, and came into the 
 coasts of Magdala. 
 
 And the Pharisees came 
 forth, and began to ques- 
 tion with Him, seeking of 
 Him a sign from heaven, 
 tempting Him. 
 
 PASSETH m 
 
 multitude to sit down on the 
 ground. 
 
 And He took the seven 
 loaves and the fishes, and 
 gave thanks, and brake 
 them, and gave to His dis- 
 ciples, and the disciples to 
 the multitude. 
 
 And they did all eat, and 
 were filled : and they took 
 up of the broken meat that 
 was left seven baskets full. 
 
 And they that did eat 
 were four thousand men, 
 beside women and children. 
 
 207 
 
 He answered and said 
 unto them, When it is even- 
 ing ye say, It will be fair 
 weather : for the sky is red. 
 
 And in the morning, 
 // will be foul weather to- 
 day ; for the sky is red and 
 lowering. O ye hypocrites, 
 ye can discern the face of 
 the sky ; but can ye not 
 discern the sign s of the 
 times ? 
 
 A wicked and adulterous 
 generation seeketh after a 
 
 sign ■ 
 
 and there shall no 
 sign be given unto it, but 
 the sign of the prophet 
 Jonas. 
 
 And He sighed deeply in 
 his spirit, and saith, Why 
 doth this generation seek 
 after a sign? verily, I say 
 unto you, There shall no 
 sign be given unto this 
 generation. 
 
 And He left them, and 
 entering into the ship again 
 departed to the other 
 side. 
 
208 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 T| Now the disciples had 
 forgotten to take bread, nei- 
 ther had they in the ship 
 with them more than one 
 loaf. 
 
 And He charged them, 
 saying, Take heed, beware 
 of the leaven of the Phari- 
 sees and of the leaven of 
 Herod. 
 
 And they reasoned among 
 themselves, saying, It is be- 
 cause we have no bread. 
 
 And when Jesus knew //, 
 He saith unto them, Why 
 reason ye, because ye have 
 no bread ? perceive ye not 
 yet, neither understand ? 
 have ye your heart yet 
 hardened ? 
 
 Having eyes, see ye not ? 
 and having ears, hear ye 
 not ? and do ye not remem- 
 ber? 
 
 When I brake the five 
 loaves among the five thou- 
 sand, how many baskets full 
 of fragments took ye up? 
 They say unto Him .Twelve. 
 
 And when the seven 
 among four thousand, how 
 many baskets full of frag- 
 ments took ye up ? And 
 they said, Seven. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 How is it that ye do not 
 understand ? 
 
 How is it that ye do not 
 understand that I spake it 
 not to you concerning: 
 bread, that ye should be- 
 ware of the leaven of the 
 Pharisees and of the Sad- 
 ducees ? 
 
 Then understood they 
 how that He bade them not 
 beware o f the leaven o f 
 bread, but of the doctrine 
 of the Pharisees and of the 
 Sadducees. 
 
 HE GIVETH A BLIND MAN 
 SIGHT. 
 
 And He cometh to Beth- 
 saida ; and they bring a 
 blind man unto Him, and 
 besought Him to touch 
 him. 
 
 And He took the blind 
 
And He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town. 
 
PASSETH 
 
 man by the hand, a n d 
 led him out of the town ; 
 and when He h a d spit 
 on his eyes, and put 
 His hands upon him, 
 He asked him if he saw 
 aught. 
 
 And he looked up, and 
 said, I see men as trees, 
 walking. 
 
 After that He put His 
 hands again upon his eyes, 
 and made him look up; and 
 he was restored, and saw 
 every man clearly. 
 
 And He sent him away 
 to his house, saying, 
 go into the town, 
 /'/ to any in the 
 
 BY.

 Neither 
 nor tell 
 town. 
 
 PETERS 
 
 CONFESSION 
 CHRIST. 
 
 OF 
 
 And Jesus went out, 
 and His disciples, into the 
 towns of Cesarea Philippi : 
 and by the w a y He 
 asked His disciples, say- 
 
 ing 
 
 unto them, Whom do 
 men say that 1 am? 
 
 And they said, Some 
 say that thou art John the 
 Baptist ; some, Elias ; and 
 others, Jeremias, or one of 
 the prophets. 
 
 He saith unto thorn, 
 But whom say ye that I 
 am ? 
 
 And Simon Peter ans- 
 wered and said, Thou art 
 the Christ, the Son of the 
 living God. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, Blessed art 
 thou, Simon Bar-jona : for 
 flesh and blood hath not 
 revealed it unto thee, but 
 my Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 And I say also unto 
 thee, That thou art 
 Peter, and upon this rock 
 I will build my church ; 
 and the gates o f hell 
 shall not prevail against 
 it. 
 
 And I will give unto 
 
2i2 JESUS OF 
 
 thee the keys of the king- 
 d o m of heaven: and 
 whatsoever thou shalt 
 bind o n earth shall b e 
 bound in heaven : and 
 whatsoever thou shalt loose 
 on earth shall be loosed in 
 heaven. 
 
 Then charged He His 
 disciples that they should 
 tell no man that He was 
 Jesus the Christ. 
 
 H E FORESHOWETH H I S 
 DEATH. 
 
 From that time forth 
 began Jesus to shew 
 unto His disciples, how 
 that He must go unto 
 Jerusalem, and suffer 
 many things of the 
 elders and chief priests' 
 and scribes, and be 
 killed, and be raised again 
 the third day. 
 
 Then Peter took 
 Him, and began to re- 
 buke Him, saying, Be 
 it far from thee, Lord : 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 this shall not De unto 
 thee. 
 
 But when He had turned 
 about and looked on His 
 disciples He rebuked Peter, 
 saying, Get thee behind me, 
 Satan : for thou savourest 
 not the things that be of 
 God, but the things that be 
 of men. 
 
 ^1" And when He had 
 called the people unto Him 
 with His disciples also, He 
 said unto them, Whosoever 
 will come after me, let him 
 deny himself, and take up 
 his cross, and follow me. 
 
 For whosoever will save 
 his life shall lose it ; but 
 whosoever shall lose his life 
 for my sake and the gospel's 
 the same shall save it. 
 
 For what shall it profit a 
 man, if he shall gain the 
 whole world, and lose his 
 own soul ? 
 
 Or what shall a man give 
 in exchange for his soul ? 
 
n 
 
PASSETH 
 
 For the Son of man shall 
 come in the glory of His 
 Father with His angels ; 
 and then He shall reward 
 every man according to his 
 works. 
 
 Verily, I say unto you, 
 There be some standing 
 here, which shall not taste 
 of death, till they see the 
 Son of man coming in His 
 kingdom. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 THE TRANSFIGURATION OF 
 
 JESUS. 
 
 AND after six days 
 Jesus taketh Peter, 
 James, and John his brother, 
 and bringeth them up into 
 a high mountain apart. 
 
 And was transfigured be- 
 fore them : and His face 
 did shine as the sun, and 
 His raiment was white as 
 the light. 
 
 And, behold, there ap- 
 peared unto them Moses 
 
 BY. 
 
 215 
 
 and E 1 i a s talking with 
 Him. 
 
 Then answered Peter and 
 said unto Jesus, Lord, it is 
 good for us to be here : if 
 thou wilt, let us make here 
 three tabernacles ; one for 
 thee, one for Moses, and 
 one for Elias. 
 
 While he yet spake, be- 
 hold, a bright cloud over- 
 shadowed them : and be- 
 hold a voice out of the 
 cloud, which said, This is 
 my beloved Son, in whom I 
 am well pleased ; hear ye 
 Him. 
 
 And when the disciples 
 heard /'/, they fell on their 
 face and were sore afraid. 
 
 And Jesus came and 
 touched them, and said, 
 Arise, and be not afraid. 
 
 And when they had lifted 
 up their eyes, they saw no 
 man, save Jesus only. 
 
 And as they came down 
 from the mountain Jesus 
 charged them, saying, Tell 
 
2,6 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 the vision to no man until 
 the Son of Man be risen 
 again from the dead. 
 
 And they kept that say- 
 ing with themselves, ques- 
 tioning one with another 
 what the rising from the 
 dead should mean. 
 
 And His disciples asked 
 Him, saying, Why then say 
 the scribes that Elias must 
 first come ? 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, Elias truly 
 shall first come, and restore 
 all things. 
 
 But I say unto you, That 
 Elias is come already, and 
 they knew him not, but 
 have done unto him whatso- 
 ever they listed. Likewise 
 shall also the Sou of Man 
 suffer of them. 
 
 Then the disciples under- 
 stood that He spake unto 
 + hem of John the Baptist. 
 
 ^[ And it came to pass, 
 that on the next day, when 
 
 the}' were come down from 
 the hill, much people met 
 Him. 
 
 And when He came to 
 His disciples, He saw a 
 great multitude about them, 
 and the scribes questioning 
 with them. 
 
 And straightway all the 
 people, when they beheld 
 Him, were greatly amazed, 
 and running to Him saluted 
 Him. 
 
 And He asked the scribes, 
 What question ye with 
 them ? 
 
 And one of the multitude 
 answered and said, Master, 
 I have brought unto thee 
 my son, which hath a dumb 
 spirit ; 
 
 And w h e r e s o e v e r he 
 taketh him, he teareth him ; 
 and he foaraeth, and 
 gnasheth 'with his teeth, 
 and pineth away : and I 
 spake to thy disciples that 
 they should cast him out ; 
 and they could not. 
 
This is my beloved bun, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.' 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 He answereth him, and 
 saith,< > faithless generation, 
 how long shall I be with 
 you? how long shall I suf- 
 fer you? brills him unto 
 me. 
 
 And they brought him 
 unto Him : and when He 
 saw him, straightway the 
 spirit tare him ; and he fell 
 on the grou u d , a n d 
 wallowed foaming. 
 
 And He asked his father, 
 How long is it ago since 
 this came unto him ? And 
 he said, Of a child. 
 
 And of ttimes it hath cast 
 him into the fire, and into 
 the waters, to destroy him : 
 but if thou canst do any 
 thing, have compassion on 
 us, and help us. 
 
 Jesus said unto him, If 
 thou canst believe, all 
 tilings are possible to him 
 that believeth. 
 
 And straightwa y the 
 father of the child cried out, 
 and said with tears, L,ord, 
 
 2 I < I 
 
 I believe ; help thou mine 
 unbelief. 
 
 When Jesus saw that the 
 people came running to- 
 gether, He rebuked the foul 
 spirit, saying unto him , 
 Thou dumb and deaf spirit, 
 I charge thee, come out of 
 him, and enter no more into 
 him. 
 
 And Hie spirit cried, and 
 rent him sore and came 
 out of him : and he was 
 as one dead ; insomuch 
 that many said, he is 
 dead. 
 
 But Jesus took him by 
 the hand and lifted him up ; 
 and he arose. 
 
 And t h e y were all 
 amazed at the mighty power 
 of God. 
 
 And when He was come 
 into the house, His disci- 
 ples asked Him privately, 
 Why could not we cast him 
 out? 
 
 And Jesus said unto 
 them, Because of your un- 
 
JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 belief : for verily I say 
 unto you. If ye have faith 
 as a grain of mustard seed, 
 ye shall say unto this moun- 
 tain, Remove hence to 
 yonder place; and it 
 shall remove : and nothing 
 shall be impossible unto 
 you. 
 
 Howbeit this kind goeth 
 not out but by prayer and 
 fasting. 
 
 ^j After these things Jesus 
 departed thence and passed 
 through Galilee ; for He 
 would not walk in Jewry, 
 because the Jews sought to 
 kill Him. 
 
 And while they abode in 
 
 Galilee, Jesus said unto 
 
 them, The Son of Man 
 
 shall be betrayed into the 
 
 hands of men : 
 
 And they shall kill Him, 
 
 and the third day He shall 
 
 be raised again. And they 
 
 were exceeding sorry. 
 
 But they understood not 
 
 that saying, and were 
 afraid to ask Him. 
 
 And w h e n they wer t 
 come to Capernaum, they 
 that received tribute money 
 came to Peter, and said, 
 Doth not your master pay 
 tribute ? 
 
 He s a i t h , Yes. And 
 when he was come into the 
 house, Jesus prevented him, 
 saying. What thinketh 
 thou, Simon? of whom do 
 the kings of the earth take 
 custom or tribute ? of their 
 own children or of strang- 
 ers ? 
 
 Peter saith unto Him, Of 
 strangers. Jesus saith unto 
 him, Then are the children 
 free. 
 
 Notwithstanding, lest we 
 should offend them, 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 piece of 
 money : that take, and 
 
The sea of Galilee, or Tiberias. 
 
give unto them for me and 
 
 thee. 
 
 And being in the house 
 He asked them, What was 
 it that ye disputed among 
 yourselves by the way ? 
 
 But they held their peace: 
 for by the way they had 
 disputed among themselves 
 who should be the greatest. 
 
 And He sat down, and 
 called the twelve, and saith 
 unto them, If any man de- 
 sire to be first, the same 
 shall be last of all, and 
 servant of all. 
 
 And He took a child, and 
 set him in the midst of 
 them : and when He had 
 taken him in His arms, he 
 said unto them, 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 Except ye be converted, 
 and become as little chil- 
 dren, ye shall not enter into 
 the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 Whosoever therefore 
 shall humble himself as this 
 little child, the same is 
 
 PASSETH BY s«3 
 
 greatest in the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 And whoso shall receive 
 one such little child in my 
 name receiveth me. 
 
 But whoso shall offend one 
 of these little ones which 
 believe in me, it were better 
 for him that a millstone 
 were hanged about his neck 
 and that he were drowned 
 in the depth of the sea. 
 
 And John answered him, 
 saying Master, we saw one 
 casting out devils in thy 
 name, and he followeth not 
 us ; and we forbade him, 
 because he followeth not us. 
 
 But Jesus said, Forbid 
 him not : for there is no 
 man which shall do a mira- 
 cle in my name that can 
 lightly speak evil of me. 
 
 For he that is not against 
 us is on our part. 
 
 For whosoever shall give 
 
 you a cup of water to drink 
 
 in my name, because ye be- 
 
 I long to Christ, verily I say 
 
224 JESUS OF 
 
 unto you, he shall not lose 
 his reward. 
 
 Woe unto the world be- 
 cause of offences ! for it 
 must needs be that offences 
 come ; but woe to that man 
 by whom the o ff e n c e 
 cometh ! 
 
 Wherefore if thy hand or 
 thy foot offend thee, cut 
 them off, and cast them from 
 thee ; it is better for thee to 
 enter into life halt or 
 maimed, rather than hav- 
 ing two hands or two feet 
 to be cast into everlasting 
 fire. 
 
 And if thine eye offend 
 thee, pluck it out, and cast 
 it from thee : it is better for 
 thee to enter into life with 
 one eye, rather than having 
 two eyes to be cast into hell 
 fire. 
 
 Where their worm dieth 
 not, and the fire is not 
 quenched. 
 
 For every one shall be 
 salted with fire, and every 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 sacrifice shall be salted with 
 salt. 
 
 Salt is good : but if the 
 salt have lost its saltness, 
 wherewith will ye season it ? 
 Have salt in yourselves, and 
 have peace one with 
 another. 
 
 Take heed that ye despise 
 not one of these little ones ; 
 for I say unto you, That in 
 heaven their angels do 
 always behold the face of 
 my Father which is in 
 heaven. 
 
 For the Son of Man is 
 come to save that which 
 was lost. 
 
 How think ye ? if a man 
 have a hundred sheep, and 
 one of them be gone astray, 
 doth he not leave the ninety 
 and nine, and goeth into 
 the mountains, and seeketh 
 that which is gone astray ? 
 
 And if so be that he find 
 it, verily I say unto you, 
 he rejoiceth more of that 
 sheep, than of the ninety 
 
' Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, 
 ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." 
 
PASSETH 
 
 and nine which went not 
 astray . 
 
 Even so it is not the will 
 of your Father which is in 
 heaven, that one of these 
 little ones should perish. 
 
 ^j Moreover if thy brother 
 shall trespass against thee, 
 go and tell him his fault 
 between thee and him alone: 
 if he shall hear thee, thou 
 hast gained thy brother. 
 
 But if he will not hear 
 thee, then take with thee 
 one or two more, that in the 
 mouth of t w o or three 
 witnesses every word may 
 be established. 
 
 And if he shall neglect to 
 hear them, tell it unto the 
 church : but if he neglect to 
 hear the church, let him be 
 unto thee as a heathen man 
 and a publican. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 Whatsoever ye shall bind 
 on earth shall be bound in 
 heaven ; and whatsoever ye 
 
 BY, 
 
 shall loose on earth shall 
 be loosed in heaven. 
 
 Again I say unto you, 
 That if two of you shall 
 agree on earth as touching 
 any thing that they shall 
 ask, it shall 1)l* done for 
 them of my Father which is 
 in heaven. 
 
 For where two or three 
 are gathered together in my 
 name, there am I in the 
 midst of them. 
 
 Then came Peter to Him, 
 and said, Lord, how oft 
 shall my brother sin against 
 me, and I forgive him ? till 
 seven times ? 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, I 
 say not unto thee, Until 
 seven times : but until sev- 
 enty times seven. 
 
 Therefore is the kingdom 
 of heaven likened unto a 
 certain king, whioh would 
 take account of his ser- 
 vants. 
 
 And when he had begun 
 to reckon, one was brought 
 
228 JESUS OF 
 
 unto him which owed him 
 ten thousand talents. 
 
 But forasmuch as he had 
 not to pa}-, his lord com- 
 manded him to be sold, and 
 his w 7 ifeand children, and 
 all that he had, and pay- 
 ment to be made. 
 
 The servant therefore fell 
 clown and worshipped him, 
 saying, Lord, have patience 
 with me, and I will pay 
 thee all , 
 
 Then the lord of that 
 servant was moved with 
 compassion , and loosed 
 him and forgave him the 
 debt. 
 
 But the same servant went 
 out, and found one of his 
 fellow servants, which owed 
 him a hundred pence : and 
 belaid hands on him, and 
 took him by the throat, say- 
 ing, Pay me that thou 
 owest. 
 
 And his fellow servant 
 fell down at his feet, and 
 besought him, saying, Have 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 patience with me and I will 
 pay thee all. 
 
 And he would not : but 
 went and cast him into 
 prison, till he should pay 
 the debt. 
 
 So when his fellow ser- 
 vants saw what was done, 
 they were very sorry, and 
 came and told unto their 
 lord all that was done. 
 
 Then his lord, after that 
 he had called him, said 
 unto him, O thou wicked 
 servant, I forgave thee all 
 that debt, because thou de- 
 siredst me : 
 
 Shouldest not thou also 
 have had compassion on thy 
 fellow servant, even as I 
 had pity on thee ? 
 
 And his lord was wroth, 
 and delivered him to the tor- 
 mentors, till he should pay 
 all that was due unto him. 
 
 So likewise shall my 
 heavenly Father do also 
 unto you, if ye from your 
 hearts forgive not every one 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 22g 
 
 his brother their tres- 
 passes. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV 
 
 CHRIST S E N D E T H OUT 
 SEVENTY OTHER DISCI- 
 PLES. 
 
 AFTER these things the 
 Lord appointed other 
 seventy also, and sent them 
 two and two before His 
 face into every city and 
 place, whither He Himself 
 would come. 
 
 Therefore said He unto 
 them, The harvest truly is 
 great, but the labourers are 
 few : pray ye therefore the 
 Lord of the harvest, tnat 
 He would send forth 
 labourers into His harvest. 
 
 Go your ways : behold, I 
 send you forth as lambs 
 among wolves. 
 
 Carry neither purse, nor 
 scrip, nor shoes : and salute 
 no man by the way. 
 
 And into whatsoever 
 
 house ye enter, first say 
 Peace be to this house. 
 
 And if the son of peace 
 be there, your peace shall 
 rest upon it : if not, it shall 
 turn to you again. 
 
 And in the same house 
 remain, eating and drinking 
 such things as they give : 
 for the labourer is worthy 
 of his hire. Go not from 
 house to house. 
 
 And into whatsoever city 
 ye enter, and they receive 
 you, eat such things as are 
 set before you : 
 
 And heal the sick that are 
 therein, and say unto them, 
 The kingdom of God is 
 come nigh unto you. 
 
 But into whatsoever city 
 ye enter, and they receive 
 you not, go your ways out 
 into the streets of the same, 
 and say, 
 
 Even the very dust of 
 your city, which cleaveth on 
 us, we do wipe off against 
 you : notwithstanding, be ye 
 
2/?0 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 sure of this, that the king- 
 dom of God is come nigh 
 unto you. 
 
 But I say unto you, that 
 it shall be more tolerable in 
 that day for Sodom than for 
 that city. 
 
 Woe unto thee, Chorazin, 
 woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! 
 for if the mighty works had 
 been done in Tyre and 
 Sidon which have been done 
 in you, they had a great 
 while ago repented, sitting 
 in sackcloth and ashes, 
 
 But it shall be more toler- 
 able for Tyre and Sidon at 
 the judgment than for you. 
 
 And thou, Capernaum, 
 which art exalted to heaven, 
 shalt be thrust down to hell. 
 
 He that heareth you 
 heareth me ; he that de- 
 spiseth you despiseth me ; 
 and he that despiseth me 
 despiseth Him that sent me. 
 
 ^1 And the seventy re- 
 turned again with joy, say- 
 
 NAZARETK 
 
 ing, Lord, even the devils 
 are subject unto us through 
 thy name. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 I beheld Satan as lightning 
 fall from heaven. 
 
 Behold, I give unto you 
 power to tread on serpents 
 and scorpions, and over all 
 the power of the enemy ; 
 and nothing shall by any 
 means hurt you. 
 
 Notwithstanding, in this 
 rejoice not, that the spirits 
 are subject unto you ; but 
 rather rejoice because your 
 names are written in heaven. 
 
 *[] In that hour Jesus re- 
 joiced in spirit, and said, I 
 thank thee, O Father, L,ord 
 of heaven and earth, that 
 thou hast hid these things 
 from the wise and prudent, 
 and hast revealed them unto 
 babes : even so, Father ; for 
 so it seemed good in thy 
 sight. 
 
 All things are delivered 
 
PASSETH 
 
 to me of my Father : and 
 no man knoweth who the 
 Son is, but the Father ; and 
 who the Father is, but the 
 Sou, and he to whom the 
 Sou will reveal Him. 
 
 ^[ And He turned Him 
 unto his disciples, and said 
 privately, Blessed are the 
 eyes which see the things 
 that ye see : 
 
 For I tell you, that many 
 prophets and kings have 
 desired to see those things 
 which ye see, and have not 
 seen them ; and to hear 
 those things which ye hear, 
 and have not heard them 
 
 Now the Jews' feast of 
 tabernacles was at hand. 
 
 His brethren therefore 
 said unto Him, Depart 
 hence, and go into Judea, 
 that thy disciples also may 
 see the works that thou 
 doest. 
 
 For there is no man that 
 doeth any thing in secret, 
 
 BY. 
 
 2 \l 
 
 and he himself seeketh to be 
 known openly. If thou do 
 these things, shew thyself 
 to the world. 
 
 For n e i t h e r did His 
 brethern believe in Him. 
 
 Then Jesus said unto them 
 My time is not yet come : 
 but your time is a 1 w a y s 
 ready. 
 
 The world cannot hate 
 you ; but me it hateth, 
 because I testify of it, that 
 the works thereof are evil. 
 
 Go ye up unto this feast : 
 I go not up yet unto this 
 feast ; for my time is not 
 yet full come. 
 
 When He had said these 
 words unto them, he abode 
 still in Galilee. 
 
 ^1 And it came to pass, 
 when the time was come 
 that He should be received 
 up, He steadfastly set His 
 face to go to Jerusalem, 
 
 And sent messengers be- 
 fore His face : and they 
 
2 ^ 2 JESUS OF 
 
 went, and entered into a 
 village of the Samaritans, 
 to make ready for Him, 
 
 And they did not receive 
 Him, because His face was 
 as though He would go to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 And when His disciples 
 James and John saw this 
 they said, Lord, wilt thou 
 that we command fire to 
 come down from heaven, 
 and consume them, even as 
 Elias did ? 
 
 But He turned, and re- 
 buked them, and said, Ye 
 know not what manner of 
 spirit ye are of. 
 
 For the Son of Man is 
 not come to destroy men's 
 lives, but to save them. And 
 they went to another 
 village. 
 
 CHRIST HEALETH THE 
 LEPERS. 
 
 And as He entered into a 
 certain village, there met 
 Him ten men that were 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 lepers, which stood afar 
 off : 
 
 And they lifted up their 
 voices, and said, Jesus, 
 Master, have mercy on 
 us. 
 
 And when He saw them, 
 He said unto them, Go 
 shew yourselves unto the 
 priests. And it came to 
 pass, that, as they went, 
 they were cleansed. 
 
 And one of them, when 
 he saw that he was healed, 
 turned back, and with a 
 loud voice glorified God, 
 
 And fell down on his face 
 at His feet, giving Him 
 thanks : and he was a 
 Samaritan. 
 
 And J e s u s answering 
 said, Were there not ten 
 cleansed, but where are the 
 nine ? 
 
 There are not found that 
 returned to give glory to 
 God, save this stranger. 
 
 And He said unto him, 
 Arise, go thy way : thy 
 
> 
 
 a 
 
 3 
 
PASSETH RY. 
 
 2 35 
 
 faith hath made thee 
 whole. 
 
 CHRIST TKACHETH THE 
 LAWYER. 
 
 And behold, a certain 
 lawyer stood up and tempted 
 Him, saying, Master, what 
 shall I do to inherit eter- 
 nal life ? 
 
 He said unto him, What 
 is written in the law ? how 
 readest thou ? 
 
 And he answering said, 
 Thou shalt love the Lord 
 thy God with all thy heart, 
 and with all thy soul, and 
 with all thy strength, and 
 with all thy mind ; and thy 
 neighbour as thyself. 
 
 And He said unto him, 
 Thou hast answered right : 
 This do, and thou shalt 
 live. 
 
 But he, willing to justify 
 himself, said unto Jesus, 
 And who is my neighbour ? 
 
 And Jesus a n s wering 
 said, A certain man went 
 
 down from Jerusalem to 
 Jericho, and fell a m ong 
 thieves, which stripped him 
 of his raiment, and wounded 
 him, and departed, leaving 
 him half dead. 
 
 And by chance there came 
 down a certain priest that 
 way ; and when he saw him, 
 he passed by on the other 
 side. 
 
 And likewise a L,evite, 
 when he was at the place, 
 came and looked on him, and 
 passed by on the other side. 
 
 But a certain Samaritan, 
 as he journeyed, came 
 where he was ; and when 
 he saw him, he had com- 
 passion on him, 
 
 And went to him, and 
 bound up his w ounds, 
 pouring in oil and wine, 
 and set him on his own 
 beast, and brought him to 
 an inn, and took care of 
 him. 
 
 And on the morrow when 
 he departed, he took out 
 
2^6 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 two pence, and gave them to 
 the host, and said unto him, 
 Take care of him : and 
 whatsoever thou spendest 
 more, when I come again I 
 will repay thee. 
 
 Which now of these three, 
 thinkest thou, was neigh- 
 bour unto him that fell 
 among the theives ? 
 
 And he said, He that 
 shewed mercy on h i m . 
 Then said Jesus unto him, 
 Go, and do thou likewise. 
 
 And it came to pass, 
 
 that, as He was praying in 
 
 a certain place, when He 
 
 ceased one of His disciples 
 
 said unto Him, Lord, teach 
 
 us to pray, as John also 
 
 taught his disciples. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 
 When ye pray say, Our 
 
 Father which art in heaven, 
 
 Hallowed be thy name. 
 
 Thy kingdom come, Thy 
 
 will be done, as in heaven, 
 
 so in earth. 
 
 Give us day by day our 
 daily bread. 
 
 And forgive us our sins ; 
 for we also forgive every 
 one that is indebted to us. 
 And lead us not into temp- 
 tation ; but deliver us from 
 evil. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Which of you shall have a 
 friend, and shall go unto 
 him at midnight, and say 
 unto him, Friend, lend me 
 three loaves ; 
 
 For a friend of mine in 
 his journey is come to me, 
 and I have nothing to set 
 before him ? 
 
 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. 
 
 I say unto 3 t ou, Though 
 he will not rise and give 
 h i m , because he is his 
 friend, yet because of his 
 importunity, he will rise 
 
Take care of him : and whatsoever thou spendest more, when 1 come 
 again I will repay thee." 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 and give him as many as 
 he needeth. 
 
 And I say unto you, Ask, 
 and it shall be given unto 
 you ; seek, and ye shall 
 find ; knock, and it shall 
 be opened unto you. 
 
 For every one that asketh 
 receiveth ; and he that seek- 
 eth findeth ; and to him 
 that knoeketh it shall be 
 opened. 
 
 If a sou shall ask bread 
 of any of you that is a 
 father, will he give him a 
 stone? or if he ask a fish, 
 will he for a fish give him a 
 serpent ? 
 
 Or if he shall ask an egg, 
 will he offer him a scor- 
 pion ? 
 
 If ye then, being evil, 
 know how to give good 
 gifts unto your children ; 
 how much more shall. your 
 heavenly Father give the 
 Holy Spirit to them that 
 ask Him ? 
 
 239 
 
 MARTHA AND MARY 
 
 Now it came to pass, as 
 they went, that He entered 
 into a certain village : and a 
 certain woman 11 a m e d 
 Martha received Him into 
 her house. 
 
 And she had a sister 
 called Mary, which also sat 
 at Jesus' feet, and heard 
 His word. 
 
 But Martha was cumbered 
 about much serving, and 
 came to Him, and said, 
 Lord, dost thou not care 
 that my sister hath left me 
 to serve alone ? bid her 
 therefore that she help 
 me. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto her, Martha, 
 Martha, thou art careful 
 and troubled about many 
 things : 
 
 But one thing is needful ; 
 and Mary hath chosen that 
 good part, which shall 
 not be taken away from 
 her. 
 
240 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 THE JEWS FEAST OF TABER- 
 NACLES AT JERUSALEM. 
 
 The Jews sought Him at 
 the feast, and said, Where is 
 He? 
 
 And there was m u e h 
 murmuring among the 
 people concerning Him : 
 for some said, He is a good 
 man : others said, Nay ; 
 but He deceiveth the peo- 
 ple. 
 
 Howbeit no man spake 
 openly of Him for fear of 
 the Jews. 
 
 ^| Now about the midst 
 of the feast Jesus went up 
 into the temple, and taught. 
 
 And the Jews marvelled, 
 saying, How knoweth this 
 man letters, having never 
 learned ? 
 
 Jesus answered them and 
 said, My doctrine is not 
 mine, but His that sent me. 
 
 If any man will do His 
 will, he shall know of the 
 doctrine, whether it be of 
 
 God, or whether I speak of 
 myself. 
 
 He that speaketh of him- 
 self seeketh his own glory : 
 but He that seeketh His 
 glory that sent Him, the 
 same is true, and no un- 
 righteousness is in Him. 
 
 Did not Moses give you 
 the law, and yet none of 
 you keepeth the law ? Why 
 go ye about to kill me ? 
 
 The people answered and 
 said, Thou hast a devil : 
 who goeth about to kill 
 thee? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto them, I have done one 
 work, and ye all marvel. 
 
 Moses therefore gave 
 unto you circumcision ; 
 (not because it is of Moses, 
 but of the fathers ; ) and ye 
 on the sabbath day circum- 
 cise a man. 
 
 If a man on the sabbath 
 day receive circumcision, 
 that the law of Moses 
 should not be broken ; are

 ye angry at me, because I 
 have made a man every 
 whit whole on the sabbath 
 day ? 
 
 Judge not according to 
 the appearance, but judge 
 righteous judgment. 
 
 Then said some of them 
 of Jerusalem, Is not this He, 
 whom they seek to kill ? 
 
 But, lo, Pie speaketh 
 boldly, and the}' say noth- 
 ing unto Him. Do the 
 rulers know indeed that this 
 is the very Christ ? 
 
 Howbeit we know this 
 man whence he is : but 
 when Christ cometh, no 
 man knoweth whence He is. 
 
 Then cried Jesus in the 
 temple asHetaught, saying, 
 Ye both know me, and ye 
 know whence I am : and I 
 am not come of myself, but 
 He that sent me is true, 
 whom ye know not. 
 
 But I know Him ; for I 
 am from Him, and He hath 
 sent me. 
 
 243 
 
 Then they sought to take 
 Him : but no man laid 
 h a n d s on Him, because 
 His hour was not yet come. 
 
 And many of the people 
 believed on Him and said, 
 When Christ cometh, will 
 He do more miracles than 
 these which this man hath 
 done ? 
 
 % The Pharisees heard 
 that the people murmured 
 such things concerning Him; 
 and the Pharisees and the 
 chief priests sent officers to 
 take Him. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them, Yet a little while am 
 I with you and then I go 
 unto Him that sent me. 
 
 Ye shall seek me, and 
 shall not find me : and where 
 I am, thither ye cannot come. 
 
 Then said the Jews 
 among themselves, Whither 
 will He go, that we shall 
 not find Him? will he go 
 unto the dispersed among 
 
2+ 4 JESUS OF 
 
 the Gentiles, and teach the 
 Gentiles ? 
 
 What manner of saying 
 is this that He said, Ye shall 
 seek me, and shall not find 
 me: and where I am, 
 thither ye cannot come. 
 
 In the last day, that great 
 day of the feast, Jesus 
 stood and cried, saying, If 
 any man thirst, let him 
 come unto me and drink. 
 
 He that believeth on me, 
 as the Scripture hath said, 
 out of his belly shall flow 
 rivers of living water. 
 
 (But this spake He of the 
 Spirit, which they that be- 
 lieve on Him should re- 
 ceive : for the Holy Ghost 
 was not yet given; because 
 that Jesus was not yet 
 glorified.) 
 
 ^| Many of the people 
 therefore, when they heard 
 this saying, said, Of a 
 truth this is the Prophet. 
 
 Others said, This is the 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Christ. But some said, 
 Shall Christ come out of 
 Galilee ? 
 
 Hath not the Scripture 
 said, That Christ cometh of 
 the seed of David, and out 
 of the town of Bethlehem, 
 where David was ? 
 
 So there was a division 
 among the people because 
 of Him. 
 
 And some of them would 
 have taken Him ; but no 
 man laid hands on Him. 
 
 ■ Then came the officers 
 to the chief priests and 
 Pharisees ; and they said 
 unto them, Why have ye 
 not brought Him ? 
 
 The officers answered, 
 Never man spake like this 
 man. 
 
 Then answered them the 
 Pharisees, Are ye also de- 
 ceived ? 
 
 Have any of the rulers or 
 of the Pharisees believed on 
 Him? 
 
PASSF.TH BY. 
 
 245 
 
 But this p e o p 1 e who 
 k n o w e t h not the law are 
 cursed. 
 
 Nicodemus s a i t h unto 
 them, (he that came to Je- 
 sus by night, being one of 
 them,) 
 
 Doth our law judge any 
 man before it hear him, and 
 know what he doeth ? 
 
 They answered and said 
 unto him, Art thou also of 
 Galilee ? Search and look : 
 for out of Galilee ariseth no 
 prophet. 
 
 And every man went unto 
 his own house. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 CHRIST DEUVERETH THE 
 WOMAN TAKEN IN ADUL- 
 TERY. 
 
 JESUS went unto the 
 mount of Olives. 
 And early in the morning 
 He came again into the 
 temple, and all the people 
 
 came unto Him ; and He 
 sat down, and taught them. 
 
 And the scribes and 
 Pharisees brought unto 
 Him a woman taken in 
 adultery ; and when they had 
 set her in the midst, 
 
 They said unto Him, 
 Master, this woman was 
 taken in adultery, in the 
 very act. 
 
 Now Moses in the law 
 commanded us, that such 
 should be stoned : but what 
 sayest thou ? 
 
 This they said, tempting 
 Him, that they might have 
 to accuse Him. But Jesus 
 stooped down, and with his 
 finger wrote on the ground, 
 as though He heard them 
 not. 
 
 So when they continued 
 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. 
 
 And again He stooped 
 
3+ 6 JESUS OF 
 
 down, and wrote on the 
 ground. 
 
 And they which heard it, 
 being convicted by their own 
 conscience, went out one by 
 one, beginning at the eldest, 
 even unto the last : and Jesus 
 was left alone, and the 
 woman standing in the 
 midst. 
 
 When Jesus had lifted up 
 Himself and saw none but 
 the woman, He said unto 
 her, Women, where are 
 those thine accusers ? hath 
 no man condemned thee ? 
 
 She said, No man, Lord. 
 And Jesus said unto her, 
 Neither do I condemn thee: 
 go, and sin no more. 
 
 THE LIGHT OF THE WORED. 
 
 Then spake Jesus again 
 unto them, saying, I am the 
 light of the world : he that 
 followeth me shall not walk 
 in darkness, but shall have 
 the light of life. 
 
 The Pharisees therefore 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 said unto Him, Thou bear- 
 est record of thyself ; thy 
 record is not true. 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto them, Though I bear 
 record of myself, yet n\y re- 
 cord is true : for I know 
 whence I came and whither 
 I go ; but ye cannot tell 
 whence I come and whither 
 I go. 
 
 Ye judge after the flesh ; 
 I judge no man. 
 
 And yet if I judge, my 
 judgment is true : for I am 
 not alone, but I and the 
 Father that sent me. 
 
 It is also written in your 
 law, that the testimony of 
 two men is true. 
 
 I am one that beareth 
 witness of myself, and the 
 Father that sent me beareth 
 witness of me. 
 
 Then said the}- unto Him, 
 Where is thy Father ? Jesus 
 answered, Ye neither know 
 me nor my Father : if ye 
 had known me, ye should 
 
"Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." 
 
have known my Father 
 also. 
 
 These words spake Jesus 
 in the treasury,as He taught 
 in the temple : and no man 
 laid hands on Him ; for His 
 hour was not yet come. 
 
 Then said Jesus again 
 unto them, I go my way, 
 and ye shall seek me, and 
 shall die in your sins: 
 whither I go, ye cannot 
 come. 
 
 Then said the Jews, Will 
 He kill himself ? because 
 He saith, Whither I go, ye 
 cannot come. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Ye are from beneath ; I am 
 from above : ye are from 
 this world ; I am not of this 
 world. 
 
 I said therefore unto you, 
 that ye shall die in your 
 sins : for if ye believe not 
 that I am He, ye shall die in 
 your sins. 
 
 Then said they unto Him, 
 Who art thou ? And Jesus 
 
 PASSETH BY. *4<> 
 
 saith unto them, liven the 
 same' that I said unto you 
 from the beginning. 
 
 I have many things to say 
 and to judge of you : but 
 He that sent me is true ; 
 and I speak to the world 
 those things which I have 
 heard of Him. 
 
 They understood not that 
 He spake to them of the 
 Father. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them, When ye have lifted 
 up the Son of Man, then 
 shall ye know that I am He, 
 and that I do nothing of 
 myself ; but as my Father 
 hath taught me, I speak 
 these things. 
 
 And He that sent me is 
 with me : the Father hath 
 not left me alone ; for I do 
 always those things that 
 please Him. 
 
 As He spake these words, 
 many believed on Him. 
 
 Then said Jesus to those 
 J e w s which believed on 
 
252 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 like unto you : but I know 
 Him, and keep His say- 
 ing. 
 
 Your father Abraham re- 
 joiced to see my day : and 
 he saw it, and was glad. 
 
 Then said the Jews unto 
 Him, Thou art not yet fifty 
 years old, and hast thou 
 seen Abraham ? 
 
 Jesus said unto them, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 3*011, Before Abraham was, 
 I am. 
 
 Then took they up stones 
 to cast at Him : but Jesus 
 hid Himself, and went out 
 of the temple, going 
 through the midst of them, 
 and so passed by. 
 
 SIGHT GIVEN TO ONE BORN 
 BLIND. 
 
 And as Jesus passed by, 
 He saw a man which was 
 blind from his birth. 
 
 And His disciples asked 
 Him, saying, Master, who 
 did sin, this man, or his 
 
 parents that, he was born 
 blind. 
 
 Jesus answered, Neither 
 hath this man sinned, nor 
 his parents : but that the 
 works of God should be 
 made manifest in him. 
 
 I must work the works of 
 Him that sent me, while it 
 is day : the night cometh, 
 when no man can work. 
 
 As long as I am in the 
 world, I am the light of the 
 world. 
 
 When He had thus 
 spoken, He spat on the 
 ground, and made clay of 
 the spittle, and He ancinted 
 the eyes of the blind man 
 with the clay, 
 
 And said unto him, Go, 
 wash in the pool of Siloam, 
 ( which is by interpretation, 
 Sent.) He went his way 
 therefore, and washed, and 
 
 came seeing. 
 
 • The neighbours there- 
 fore, and they which before 
 
"Go, wash in the pool of Silcam." 
 
The pool of Siloam. 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 255 
 
 had seen him that he was 
 blind, said, Is not this he 
 that sat and begged ? 
 
 Some said, This is he : 
 others said, He is like him : 
 but he said, I am he. 
 
 Therefore .said they unto 
 him, How were thine eyes 
 opened ? 
 
 He answered and said, A 
 man that is called Jesus 
 made clay, and anointed 
 mine eyes, and said unto 
 me, Go to the pool of 
 Siloam, and wash : and I 
 went and washed, and I re- 
 ceived sight. 
 
 Then said they unto him, 
 Where is He ? He said, I 
 know not. 
 
 ^[ They brought to the 
 Pharisees him that aforetime 
 was blind. 
 
 And it was the sabbath 
 day when Jesus made the 
 clay, and opened his eyes. 
 
 Then again the Pharisees 
 also asked him how he had 
 
 received his sight. He said 
 unto them, He put clay 
 upon mine eyes, and I 
 washed, and do see. 
 
 Therefore said some of 
 the Pharisees, This man is 
 not of God, because He 
 keepeth not the sabbath 
 day. Others said, How 
 can a man that is a sinner 
 do such miracles ? And there 
 was a division among them. 
 
 They say unto the blind 
 man again, What sayest 
 thou of Him, that He hath 
 opened thine eyes? He 
 said, He is a prophet. 
 
 But the Jews did not be- 
 lieve concerning him, that 
 he had been blind, and re- 
 ceived his sight, until they 
 called the parents of him 
 that had received his sight. 
 
 And they asked them, 
 saying, Is this your son, 
 who ye say was born blind ? 
 how then doth he now see ? 
 
 H i s parents answered 
 them and said, We know 
 
256 JESUS OF 
 
 that this is our son and 
 that he was born blind : 
 
 But by what means he 
 now seeth we know not ; or 
 who hath opened his eyes 
 we know not : he is of age ; 
 ask him : he shall speak for 
 himself. 
 
 These words spake his 
 parents, because they feared 
 the Jews : for the Jews had 
 agreed already, that if any 
 man did confess He was 
 Christ, he should be put out 
 of the synagogue. 
 
 Therefore said his par- 
 ents, He is of age ; ask 
 him. 
 
 Then again called they 
 the man that was blind, and 
 said unto him, Give God the 
 praise : we know that this 
 man is a sinner. 
 
 He answered and said, 
 Whether He be a sinner or 
 no, I know not : one thing 
 I know, that whereas I 
 was blind, now I see. 
 
 Then said they to him 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 again, What did He to 
 thee ? how^ opened He thine 
 eyes ? 
 
 He answered them, I 
 have told you already, and 
 ye did not hear : wherefore 
 would you hear it again ? 
 will ye also be His disciples ? 
 
 Then they reviled him, 
 and said, Thou art His 
 disciple ; but we are Moses' 
 disciples. 
 
 We know that God spake 
 unto Moses : as for this 
 fellow, we know not from 
 whence He is. 
 
 The man answered and 
 said unto them, Why 
 herein is a marvellous thing, 
 that ye know not from 
 whence He is, and yet He 
 hath opened mine eyes. 
 
 Now we know that 
 God heareth not sinners : 
 but if any man be a wor- 
 shipper of God and doeth 
 His will, him He heareth. 
 
 Since the world began 
 was it not heard that any 
 
man opened the eyes of one 
 that was born blind. 
 
 If this man were not of 
 God, He eonld do nothing. 
 
 They answered and said 
 unto him, Thou wast alto- 
 gether born in sins, and 
 dost thou teach us? And 
 they east him out. 
 
 Jesus heard that they had 
 cast him out ; and when He 
 had found him, He said 
 unto him, Dost thou be- 
 lieve on the Son of God ? 
 
 He answered and said 
 Who is He, Lord, that I 
 might believe on Him ? 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 Thou hast both seen Him, 
 and it is He that talketh 
 with thee. 
 
 And he said, L,ord, I be- 
 lieve. And he worshipped 
 Him. 
 
 ^| And Jesus said, For 
 judgment I am come into 
 this world, that the}* which 
 see not might see ; and that 
 
 PASSETH BY 
 they 
 
 257 
 
 which sec might be 
 made blind. 
 
 And so»ie of the Phari- 
 sees which were with Him 
 heard these words, and said 
 unto Him, Are we blind 
 also : 
 
 Jesus said unto them, If 
 ye were blind, ye should 
 have no sin : but now ye 
 say, We see ; therefore your 
 sin remaineth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 CHRIST, THE GOOD SHEP- 
 HERD. 
 
 KRIIyY, verily, I say 
 
 V ERI 
 
 V uu 
 
 ito you, He that en- 
 tereth not by the door into 
 the sheepfold, but climbeth 
 up some other way, the 
 same is a thief and a rob- 
 ber. 
 
 But he that entereth in 
 by the door is the shepherd 
 of the sheep. 
 
 To him the porter open- 
 eth ; and the sheep hear 
 
2 5 8 JESUS OF 
 
 his voice : and he calleth 
 his own sheep by name, and 
 leadeth them out. 
 
 And when he putteth forth 
 his own sheep, he goeth be- 
 fore them, and the sheep 
 follow him : for they know 
 his voice. 
 
 And a stranger will they 
 not follow, but will flee 
 from him : for they know 
 not the voice of strangers. 
 
 This parable spake Jesus 
 unto them ; but they under- 
 stood not what things they 
 were which He spake unto 
 them. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them again, Verily, verily, 
 I say unto you, I am the 
 door of the sheep. 
 
 All that ever came before 
 me are thieves and robbers : 
 but the sbeep did not hear 
 them. 
 
 I am the door : by me if 
 anj- man enter in, he shall 
 be saved, and shall go in 
 and out, and find pasture. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 The thief cometh not, 
 but for to steal, and to kill, 
 and to destroy ; I am come 
 that they might have life, 
 and that they might have it 
 more abundantly. 
 
 I am the good shepherd : 
 the good shepherd giveth 
 his life for the sheep. 
 
 But he that is a hireling, 
 and not the shepherd, whose 
 own the sheep are not, 
 seeth the wolf coming, and 
 leaveth the sheep, a u d 
 fl e e t h ; and the wolf 
 catcheth them, and scatter- 
 eth the sheep. 
 
 The hireling fleeth, be- 
 cause he is a hireling, and 
 careth not for the sheep. 
 
 I am the good shepherd, 
 and know my sheep, and 
 am known of mine. 
 
 As the Father knoweth 
 me, even so know I the 
 Father : and I la}' down my 
 life for the sheep. 
 
 And other sheep I have, 
 which are not of this fold : 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 ■!.S9 
 
 them also T must bring, and 
 they shall hear my voice ; 
 and there shall be one fold, 
 ati (I one shepherd. 
 
 Therefore doth my Father 
 love me, because I lay down 
 my life, that I might take it 
 again. 
 
 No man taketh it 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 have I 
 received of my father. 
 
 ^[ There was a division 
 therefore again among the 
 Jews for these sayings. 
 
 And many of them said, 
 He hath a devil and is mad; 
 why hear ye Him ? 
 
 Others said, These are 
 not the words of Him that 
 hath a devil. Can a devil 
 open the eyes of the blind ? 
 
 ^| And it was at Jerusalem 
 the feast of the dedication, 
 and it was winter. 
 
 And Jesus walked in the 
 temple in Solomon's porch. 
 
 Then c a m e the Jews 
 round about Him, and said 
 unto Him , How long dost 
 thou make us to doubt ? If 
 thou be the Christ, tell us 
 plainly. 
 
 Jesus answered them, I 
 told you and ye believed 
 not : the works that I do in 
 my Father's name, they 
 bear witness of me. 
 
 But ye believe not, be- 
 cause ye are not of my sheep 
 as I said unto you. 
 
 My sheep hear my voice, 
 and I know them, and they 
 follow me : 
 
 And I give unto them 
 eternal life ; and they shall 
 never perish, neither shall 
 any man pluck them out of 
 my hand. 
 
 My Father, which gave 
 them me, is greater than 
 all ; and no man is able to 
 pluck them out of my 
 Father's hand. 
 
260 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 I and my Father are one. 
 
 Then the Jews took up 
 stones again to stone Him. 
 
 Jesus answered them , 
 Many good works have I 
 shewed you from m y 
 Father ; for which of those 
 works do ye stone me ? 
 
 The Jews answered Him, 
 saying, For a good work 
 we stone thee not ; but for 
 blasphemy ; and because 
 that thou, being a man, 
 makest thyself God. 
 
 Jesus answered them, Is 
 it not written in your law, 
 I said , Ye are gods ? 
 
 If he called them gods, 
 unto whom the word of God 
 came, and the Scripture 
 cannot be broken ; 
 
 Say ye of Him, whom 
 the Father hath sanctified, 
 and sent into the world, 
 Thou blasphemest ; because 
 I said, I am the Son of 
 God? 
 
 If I do not the works of 
 my Father, believe me not. 
 
 But if I do, though ye 
 believe not me, believe the 
 works ; that ye may know, 
 and believe, that the Father 
 is in me, and I in Him. 
 
 Therefore they sought 
 again to take Him ; but He 
 escaped out of their hand, 
 
 And went away again 
 beyond Jordan into the 
 place where John at first 
 baptized ; and there He 
 abode. 
 
 And many resorted unto 
 Him and said, John did no 
 miracle : but all things that 
 John spake of this man were 
 true. 
 
 And great multitudes fol- 
 lowed Him ; and He healed 
 them, and, as He was wont, 
 He taught them. 
 
 And many believed on 
 Him there. 
 
 ^[The Pharisees also 
 came unto Him, tempting 
 Him, and saying unto Him, 
 Is it lawful for a man to 
 
THE LAW.

 put away his wife for every 
 cause ? 
 
 And He answered and 
 said unto them, Have ye 
 not read that He which 
 made them at the beginning 
 made the m male and 
 female, 
 
 And said, For this cause 
 shall a man leave father 
 and mother, and shall cleave 
 to his wife : and they twain 
 shall be one flesh ? 
 
 "Wherefore they are no 
 more twain, but one flesh. 
 What therefore God has 
 joined together let no man 
 put asunder. 
 
 They say unto Him, Why 
 did Moses then command to 
 give a writing of divorce- 
 ment and to put her 
 away. 
 
 He saith unto them, Mo- 
 ses because of the hardness 
 of your hearts suffered you 
 to put away your wives : 
 but from the beginning it 
 was not so. 
 
 263 
 
 And I say unto you, 
 Whosoever shall put away 
 his wife, except it be for 
 fornication, and shall marry 
 another, committeth adul- 
 tery : and w r hoso marrieth 
 her which is put away doth 
 commit adultery. 
 
 ^[ His disciples say unto 
 Him, If the case of the 
 man be so with his wife, it 
 is not good to marry. 
 
 But He said unto them, 
 All men cannot receive this 
 saying, save they to whom 
 it is given. 
 
 For there are some 
 eunuchs, which were so 
 born from their mother's 
 womb : and there are some 
 eunuchs, which were made 
 eunuchs of men : and there 
 be eunuchs, which have 
 made themselves eunuchs 
 for the kingdom of heaven's 
 sake. He that is able to 
 receive //, let him re- 
 ceive it. 
 
264 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII 
 
 CHILDREN BROUGHT TO 
 CHRIST 
 
 THEN were there 
 brought unto Him little 
 children, that He should put 
 His hands on them, and 
 pray : and the disciples re- 
 buked them. 
 
 But when Jesus saw it, 
 He was much displeased, 
 and called them unto Him, 
 and said, Suffer the little 
 children to come unto me, 
 and forbid them not '. for 
 of such is the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 Whosoever shall not receive 
 the kingdom of God as a 
 little child, he shall not en- 
 ter therein. 
 
 And He took them up in 
 His arms, put Bis hands 
 upon them a n d blessed 
 them. 
 
 And when He was gone 
 forth into the way, there 
 
 came a certain ruler and 
 kneeled to Him, saying, 
 Good master, what good 
 thing shall I do, that I may 
 have eternal life ? 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 Why callest thou me good ? 
 there is none good but one, 
 that is, God : but if thou wilt 
 enter into life, keep the 
 commandments. 
 
 He saith unto Him, 
 Which? Jesus said, Thou 
 shalt do no murder, Thou 
 shalt not commit adultery, 
 Thou shalt not steal, Thou 
 shalt not bear false witness, 
 
 Honour thy father and 
 thy mother : and, Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbour as 
 thyself. 
 
 The young man saith 
 unto Him, Master, all these 
 have I kept from my youth 
 up : what lack I yet ? 
 
 Then Jesus, beholding 
 him, loved him, and said 
 unto him, One thing thou 
 lackest : If thou wilt be 
 
m 
 c 
 
 o

 pi 3 
 <5 0<

perfect, go thy way, sell 
 whatsoever thou hast, and 
 give to the poor, and thou 
 shalt have treasure in 
 heaven: and come, take 
 up the cross, and follow 
 me. 
 
 But when the young man 
 heard that saying, he was 
 sad, and went away sorrow- 
 ful : for he had great pos- 
 sessions. 
 
 And when Jesus saw that 
 he was very sorrowful, he 
 looked round about, and 
 saith unto His disciples, 
 How hardly shall they that 
 have riches enter into the 
 kingdom of God ! 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 That a rich man shall hardly 
 enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 And the disciples were 
 astonished at His words. 
 But Jesus answereth again, 
 and saith unto them, Chil- 
 dren, how hard is it for 
 them that trust in riches to 
 
 PASSETH BY. 267 
 
 enter into the kingdom of 
 God ! 
 
 It is easier for a camel to 
 go through the eye of a 
 needle, than for a rich man 
 to enter into the kingdom 
 of God, 
 
 When His disciples heard 
 it, they were exceedingly 
 amazed, and astonished out 
 of measure, saying among 
 themselves, Who then can 
 be saved ? 
 
 And Jesus, looking upon 
 them, saith, With men this 
 is impossible ; but the things 
 wdiich are impossible with 
 men are possible with God, 
 for with God all things are 
 possible. 
 
 Then answered Peter and 
 said unto Him, Behold, we 
 have forsaken all, and 
 followed thee ; what shall 
 we have therefore ? 
 
 And Jesus said unto them, 
 Verily I say unto3-ou, That 
 ye which have followed me, 
 in the regeneration when 
 
2 68 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 the Son of Man shall sit in 
 the throne of His glory, ye 
 also shall sit upon twelve 
 thrones, judging the twelve 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 And every one that hath 
 forsaken houses, or bretheru 
 or sisters, or father, or 
 mother, or wife, or children, 
 or lands, for my name's 
 sake, and the gospel's shall 
 receive an hundredfold now 
 in this time, houses, and 
 brethren, and sisters, and 
 mothers, and children, and 
 lands, w i t h persecutions ; 
 and in the world to come, 
 eternal life. 
 
 But many that are first 
 shall be last ; and the last 
 first. 
 
 For the k i n g d o m of 
 heaven is like unto a man 
 that is an householder, which 
 went out early in the morn- 
 ing to hire labourers into his 
 vineyard. 
 
 And when he had agreed 
 with the labourers for a 
 
 penny a day, he sent them 
 into his vineyard. 
 
 And he went out about 
 the third hour, and saw 
 others .standing idle in 
 the marketplace, and said 
 unto them : Go ye also into 
 the vineyard, and whatso- 
 ever is right I will give you. 
 And they went their way. 
 
 Again he went out about 
 the sixth and ninth hour, 
 and did likewise. 
 
 And about the eleventh 
 honr he went out, and 
 found others standing idle, 
 and saith unto them, Why 
 stand ye here all the day 
 idle ? 
 
 They say unto him, Be- 
 cause no man hath hired us. 
 He saith unto them, Go 
 ye also into the vineyard : 
 and whatsoever is right, 
 that shall ye receive. 
 
 So when even was come, 
 the lord of the vineyard 
 saith unto his steward, Call 
 the labourers, and give them 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 26g 
 
 their hire, beginning from 
 the last unto the first. 
 
 And when they came that 
 were hiredahout the eleventh 
 hour, they received every 
 man a penny. 
 
 But when the first came, 
 they supposed that they 
 should have received more ; 
 and they likewise received 
 every man a penny. 
 
 And when they had re- 
 ceived it, they murmured 
 against the goodman of the 
 house, saying, These last 
 have wrought but one hour, 
 and thou hast made them 
 equal unto us, which have 
 borne the burden and heat 
 of the day. 
 
 But he answered one of 
 them, and said, Friend, I 
 do thee no wrong : didst 
 not thou agree with me for 
 a penny ? 
 
 Take that thine is, and go 
 thy way : I will give unto 
 this last even as unto thee. 
 
 Is it not lawful for me to 
 
 do what I will with mine 
 <>\\n ? Is thine eye evil, be- 
 cause I am good : 
 
 So the last shall be first, 
 and the first last : for many 
 be called, but few chosen. 
 
 • And He was teaching 
 in one of the synagogues 
 on the sabbath. 
 
 And behold, there was a 
 woman which had a spirit 
 of infirmity eighteen years, 
 and was bowed together, 
 and could in no wise lift up 
 herself. 
 
 And when Jesus saw her, 
 He called her to H/m y and 
 said unto her, Woman, thou 
 art loosed from thine in- 
 firmity. And He laid His 
 hands on her : and imme- 
 diately she was made 
 straight, and glorified God. 
 
 And the ruler of the 
 synagogue answered with 
 indignation, because that 
 Jesus had healed on the 
 sabbath dav : and said unto 
 
■2yr> 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 the people, There are six 
 days in which men ought to 
 work : in them therefore 
 come and be healed, and 
 not on the sabbath day. 
 
 The Lord then answered 
 him, and said, Thou hypo- 
 crite, doth not each one of 
 you on the sabbath loose his 
 ox or his ass from the stall, 
 and lead him a w a y to 
 watering? 
 
 And ought not this 
 woman, being a daughter 
 of Abraham, whom Satan 
 hath b o u n d , lo, these 
 eighteen years, be loosed 
 from this bond on the sab- 
 bath day ? 
 
 And when He had said 
 these things, all His adver- 
 saries were ashamed : and 
 all the people rejoiced for 
 all the glorious things that 
 were done by Him. 
 
 Then said He, unto what 
 is the kingdom of God like ? 
 and whereuuto shall I 
 resemble it ? 
 
 NAZARhTH 
 
 It is like a grain of mus- 
 tard seed, which a man took, 
 and cast into his garden ; 
 and it grew and waxed a 
 great tree ; and the fowls 
 of the air lodged in the 
 branches of it. 
 
 And again He said, 
 Whereunto shall I liken 
 the kingdom of God ? 
 
 It is like leaven, which a 
 woman took and hid in 
 three measures of meal, till 
 the whole was leavened. 
 
 Then said one unto Him, 
 Lord, are there few that be 
 saved ? And He .said unto 
 them, 
 
 Strive to enter in at the 
 straight gate : for many I 
 say unto you, will seek to 
 enter in, and shall not be 
 able. 
 
 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, Lord, open 
 
PASSETH B\ 
 
 nnto lis ; and He shall 
 answer and say unto you, I 
 know you not whence ye are. 
 
 Then shall ye begin to 
 say, We have eaten and 
 drunk in thy presence, and 
 thou hast taught in our 
 streets. 
 
 But He shall say, I tell 
 you, I know you not whence 
 ye are ; depart from me, all 
 ye workers of iniquity 
 
 There shall be weeping 
 and gnashing of teeth when 
 ye shall see Abraham, and 
 Isaac, and Jacob, and all 
 the prophets, in the king- 
 dom of God, and you your- 
 selves thrust out. 
 
 And they shall come from 
 the east, and from the west; 
 and from the north, and 
 from the south, and .shall 
 sit down in the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 And behold, there are 
 last which shall be first ; 
 and there are first which 
 shall be last. 
 
 271 
 
 The same day there came 
 certain of the Pharisees, 
 saying unto Him, Get thee 
 out and depart hence ; for 
 Herod will kill thee. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Go ye and tell that fox, Be- 
 hold, I cast out devils, and 
 I do cures to-day and to- 
 morrow, and the third day I 
 shall be perfected. 
 
 Nevertheless I must walk 
 to-day and to-morrow, and 
 the day following : for it 
 cannot be that a prophet 
 perish out of Jerusalem. 
 
 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
 which killest the prophets, 
 and stonest them that are 
 sent unto thee ; how often 
 would I have gathered thy 
 children together as a hen 
 doth gather her brood under 
 her 
 not 
 
 wings, and ye would 
 
 Behold, your house is left 
 unto you desolate : and 
 verily I say unto you, Ye 
 shall not see me until the 
 
27 2 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 time come when ye shall say, 
 Blessed is He that cometh in 
 the name of the L,ord. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 CHRIST HEALETH THE 
 DROPSY. 
 
 AND it came to pass, as 
 He w ent into the 
 house of one of the chief 
 Pharisees to eat bread on the 
 sabbath day, that they 
 watched Him. 
 
 And behold, there was a 
 certain man before Him 
 which had the dropsy. 
 
 And Jesus answering 
 spake unto the lawyers and 
 Pharisees, saying, Is it law- 
 ful to heal on the sabbath 
 day ? 
 
 And they held their peace. 
 And He took him, and healed 
 him, and let him go ; 
 
 And answered them, say- 
 ing, Which of you shall have 
 an ass or an ox fallen into a 
 pit, and will not straightway 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 pull him out on the sabbath 
 day ? 
 
 And they could not an- 
 swer Him again to these 
 things. 
 
 And He put forth a par- 
 able to those which were 
 bidden, when He marked 
 how they chose out the 
 chief rooms ; saying unto 
 them, 
 
 When thou art bidden of 
 any man to a wedding, sit 
 not down in the highest 
 rooms ; lest a more honor- 
 able man than thou be bid- 
 den of him ; 
 
 And he that bade thee 
 and him, come and say to 
 thee, Give this man place ; 
 and thou begin with shame 
 to take the lowest room. 
 
 But when thou art bidden, 
 go and sit down in the low- 
 est room ; that when he that 
 bade thee, cometh, he may 
 say unto thee, Friend, go up 
 higher : then shalt thou 
 have worship in the pres-

 ence of them that sit at 
 meat with thee. 
 
 For whosoever exalteth 
 himself shall be abased ; 
 and he that humbleth him- 
 self shall be exalted. 
 
 Then said He also to 
 him that bade Him, When 
 thou makest a dinner or a 
 supper call not thy friends, 
 nor thy brethren, neither 
 thy kinsmen, nor thy rich 
 neighbours ; lest they also 
 bid thee again, and a re- 
 compense be made thee. 
 
 But when thou makest a 
 feast, call the poor, the 
 maimed, the blind : and 
 thou shalt be blessed ; for 
 they cannot recompense 
 thee : for thou shalt be re- 
 compensed at the resurrec- 
 tion of the just. 
 
 And when one of them 
 that sat at meat with Him 
 heard these things, he said 
 unto Him, Blessed is he 
 that shall eat bread in the 
 kingdom of God ! 
 
 Then said He unto him, 
 A certain man made a great 
 supper and bade many: and 
 sent his servant at supper 
 time, to say to them that 
 were bidden, Come : for all 
 things are now ready. 
 
 And they all with one 
 consent, began to make ex- 
 cuse. The first said unto 
 him, I have bought a piece 
 of ground, and I must 
 needs go and see it : I pray 
 thee have me excused. 
 
 And another said, I have 
 bought five yoke of oxen, 
 and I go to prove them : I 
 pray thee have me excused. 
 
 And another said, I have 
 married a wife, and there- 
 fore I cannot come. 
 
 So that servant came and 
 shewed 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 the 
 
276 JESUS OF 
 
 maimed, and the halt, and 
 the blind. 
 
 And the servant said, 
 Lord, it is done as thou 
 hast commanded, and yet 
 there is room. 
 
 And the lord said unto 
 the .servant, Go out into the 
 highways and hedges, and 
 compel them to come in, that 
 my house may be filled. For 
 I say unto you, That none 
 of those men which were 
 bidden, shall taste of my 
 supper. 
 
 HIS DISCIPLES TO BEAR 
 THEIR CROSS. 
 
 And there vent great 
 multitudes with Him : and 
 He turned, and said unto 
 them. 
 
 If any man come to me 
 and hate not his father and 
 mother, and wife, and chil- 
 dren, and brethren, and sis- 
 ters, yea, and his own life 
 also, cannot be my disciple. 
 
 And whosoever doth not 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 bear his cross, and come 
 after me, cannot be my dis- 
 ciple. 
 
 For which of you, intend- 
 ing to build a tower, sitteth 
 not down first, and counteth 
 the cost, whether he have 
 sufficient to finish it? 
 
 Lest haply, after he hath 
 laid the foundation, and is 
 not able to finish it, all that 
 behold it, begin to mock him, 
 saying, This man began to 
 build, and was not able to 
 finish. 
 
 Or what king, going to 
 make war against another 
 king, sitteth not down first, 
 and consul teth whether he 
 be able with ten thousand, 
 to meet him that cometh 
 against him with twenty 
 thousand ? 
 
 Or else, while the other is 
 yet a great way off, he send- 
 eth an ambassage, and desi- 
 reth conditions of peace. 
 
 So likewise, whosoever he 
 be of }-ou that forsaketh 
 
And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and took 
 his journey into a far country.

 not all that he hath, he can- 
 not be my disciple. 
 
 Salt is good : but if the 
 salt have lost his savour, 
 wherewith shall it be sea- 
 soned. 
 
 It is neither fit for the 
 land, nor yet for the dung-

 He that hath cars to hear, 
 let him hear. 
 
 279 
 
 THK PKODICAI^ SOX. 
 
 Then drew near unto 
 Him all the publicans and 
 sinners to hear Him. 
 
 And the Pharisees and 
 scribes murmured, saying, 
 This man receiveth sinners, 
 and eateth with them. 
 
 And He spake this para- 
 ble unto them, saying, 
 
 What man of you, hav- 
 ing a hundred sheep, if he 
 lose one of them, doth not 
 leave the ninety and nine in 
 the wilderness, and go after 
 that which is lost, until he 
 find it? 
 
 And when he hath found 
 it, he layeth /Von his shoul- 
 ders, rejoicing. 
 
 And when he cometh 
 home, he calleth together 
 his friends and neighbors, 
 saying unto them, Rejoice 
 with me ; for I have found 
 my sheep which was lost. 
 
 I say unto you, that like- 
 wise joy shall be in heaven 
 over one sinner that re- 
 penteth, more than over 
 ninety and nine just per- 
 sons, which need no repent- 
 ance. 
 
 Hither what woman hav- 
 ing ten pieces of silver, if 
 she. lose one piece, doth not 
 light a candle, and sweep 
 the house, and seek dili- 
 gently till she find it / 
 
 And when she hath found 
 it, she calleth her friends and 
 her neighbours together, 
 saying, Rejoice with me ; 
 for I have found the piece 
 which I had lost. 
 
 Likewise, I say unto you, 
 
2 8o JESUS OF 
 
 there is joy in the presence 
 of the angels of God over 
 one sinner that repenteth. 
 
 And He said, a certain 
 man had two sons : 
 
 And the younger of them 
 said to his father, Father, 
 give me the portion of goods 
 that falleth to me. And he 
 divided unto them his living. 
 
 And not many days after, 
 the younger sou gathered 
 all together, and took his 
 journey into a far country, 
 and there wasted his sub- 
 stance with riotous living. 
 
 And when he had spent 
 all, there arose a mighty 
 famine in that land ; and he 
 began to be in want. 
 
 And he went and joined 
 himself to a citizen of that 
 country ; and he sent him 
 into his fields to feed swine. 
 
 And he would fain have 
 filled his belly with the 
 husks that the swine did 
 eat : and no man gave unto 
 him. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And when he came to 
 himself, he said. How 
 many hired servants of my 
 father's have bread enough 
 and to spare, and I perish 
 with hunger ! 
 
 I will arise and go to my 
 father, and will say unto 
 him, Father, I have sinned 
 against heaven, and before 
 thee, and am no more 
 worthy to be called thy son : 
 make me as one of thy hired 
 servants. 
 
 And he arose, and came 
 to his father. But when he 
 was yet a great way off, his 
 father saw him, and had 
 compassion, and ran, and 
 fell on his neck, and kissed 
 him. 
 
 And the son said unto 
 him, Father, I have sinned 
 against heaven, and in thy 
 sight, and am no more 
 worthy to be called thy son. 
 
 But the father said to his 
 servants, Bring forth the 
 best robe, and put it on 
 
And he arose, and came to his father.

 him ; and put a ring on his 
 hand, and shoes on his feet : 
 
 And bring hither the fat- 
 ted calf, and kill it; and let 
 us eat, and be merry : for 
 this my son was dead, and 
 is alive again ; he was lost, 
 and is found ! And they 
 began to be merry. 
 
 Now the elder son was in 
 the field : and as he came 
 and drew nigh to the house, 
 he heard music and dancing. 
 
 And he called one of the 
 servants, and asked what 
 these things meant. 
 
 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. 
 
 And he was angry, and 
 would not go in : therefore 
 came his father out, and en- 
 treated him. 
 
 And he answering said 
 to his father, Lo, these many 
 years do I serve thee, neither 
 
 transgressed I at any time 
 thy commandment : and yet 
 thou never gavest me a kid, 
 that I might make merry 
 with my friends : 
 
 But as soon as this thy 
 sou was come, which hath 
 devoured thy living with 
 harlots, thou hast killed for 
 him the fatted calf. 
 
 And he said unto him, 
 Son, thou art ever with me, 
 and all that I have is thine. 
 
 It w a s meet that we 
 should make merry and be 
 glad : for this thy brother 
 was dead, and is alive again; 
 and was lost and is found ! 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 PARABLE OF THE UNJUST 
 STEWARD. 
 
 A 
 
 XI) He said also unto 
 
 His disciples, There 
 
 was a certain rich man, 
 
 which had a steward ? and 
 
 the same was accused unto 
 
2« 4 JESUS OF 
 
 him that he had wasted his 
 goods. 
 
 And he called him and 
 said unto him, How is it 
 that I hear this of thee ; 
 give an account of thy 
 stewardship ; for thou 
 mayest be no longer stew- 
 ard. 
 
 Then the steward said 
 within himself, What shall 
 I do? for my lord taketh 
 away from me the steward- 
 ship; I cannot dig ; to beg 
 I am ashamed. 
 
 I am resolved what to do, 
 that, when I am pnt out of 
 the stewardship, they may 
 receive me into their houses. 
 
 So he called every one of 
 his lord's debtors unto him, 
 and said unto the first, How 
 much owest thou my lord ? 
 
 And he said a hundred 
 measures of oil. And he 
 said unto him, Take thy 
 bill, and sit down quickly 
 and write fifty. 
 
 Then said he to another. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And how much owest thou ? 
 And he said a hundred 
 measures of wheat. And 
 he said unto him, Take thy 
 bill and write fourscore. 
 
 And the lord commended 
 the unjust steward, because 
 he had done wisely : for the 
 children of this world are 
 in their generation wiser 
 than the children of light. 
 
 And I say unto you, Make 
 to yourselves friends of the 
 mammon of unrighteous- 
 ness ; that, when ye fail, 
 they may receive you into 
 everlasting habitations. 
 
 He that is faithful in that 
 which is least, is faithful 
 also in much : and he that 
 is unjust in the least, is 
 unjust also in much. 
 
 If therefore ye have not 
 been faithful in the unright- 
 eous mammon, who will 
 commit to your trust the 
 true riches ? 
 
 And if ye have not been 
 faithful in that which is an- 
 
other man's, who shall give 
 von that which is your own ? 
 
 No servant can serve two 
 masters : for either he will 
 hate the one, and love the 
 other ; or else he will hold 
 to the one, and despise the 
 other. Ye cannot serve 
 God and mammon. 
 
 And the Pharisees also, 
 who were covetous, heard 
 all these things : and they 
 derided- Him. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Ye are they which justify 
 yourselves before men ; but 
 God knoweth your hearts : 
 for that which is highly 
 esteemed among men, is 
 abomination in the sight of 
 God. 
 
 The law and the prophets 
 were until John : since that 
 time the kingdom of God is 
 preached, and every man 
 presseth into it. 
 
 And it is easier for heaven 
 and earth to pass, than one 
 tittleof the law to fail. 
 
 PASSETH BY. 285 
 
 Whosoever putteth away 
 his wife, and marrieth 
 another, committeth adul-

 THE GLUTTON AND THE 
 BEGGAR. 
 
 There was a certain rich 
 man which was clothed in 
 purple and fine linen, and 
 fared sumptuously every 
 day. 
 
 And there was a certain 
 beggar named Lazarus, 
 which was laid at his gate, 
 full of sores, and desiring 
 to be fed with the crumbs 
 which fell from the rich 
 man's table. Moreover the 
 dogs came and licked his 
 sores. 
 
 And it came to pass, that 
 
 the beggar died, and was 
 
 carried by the angels into 
 
 I Abraham's bosom : the rich 
 
2 86 JESUS OF 
 
 man also died and was 
 buried. 
 
 And in hell he lifted up 
 his eyes, being in torments, 
 and seeth Abraham afar off, 
 and Lazarus in his bosom. 
 
 And he cried and said, 
 Father Abraham , have 
 mercy on me, and send 
 Lazarus, that he may dip 
 the tip of his finger in 
 ■water and cool my tongue, 
 for I am tormented in this 
 flame. 
 
 But Abraham said, Son, 
 remember that thou in thy 
 lifetime receivedst thy good 
 things, and likewise Laza- 
 rus evil things : but now he 
 is comforted and thou art 
 tormented. 
 
 And beside all this, be- 
 tween us and you there is a 
 great gulf fixed : so that 
 they which would pass from 
 hence to you, cannot ; nei- 
 ther can they pass to us, 
 that tt'ould come from thence. 
 
 Then he said, I pray thee 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 therefore, father, that thou 
 wouldest send him to my 
 father's house : for I have 
 five brethren ; that he may 
 testify unto them, lest they 
 also come into this place of 
 torment. 
 
 Abraham said unto him, 
 They have Moses and the 
 prophets ; let them hear 
 them. 
 
 And he said, Nay, father 
 Abraham : but if one went 
 unto them from the dead, 
 they will repent. 
 
 And he said unto him, If 
 they hear not Moses and 
 the prophets, neither will 
 the}- be persuaded, though 
 one rose from the dead. 
 
 ^| Then said He unto the 
 disciples, It is impossible 
 but that offences will come : 
 but woe unto him, through 
 whom they come ! 
 
 It were better for him 
 that a millstone were hanged 
 about his neck, and he cast 
 
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels 
 
 into Abraham's bosom. 
 
PASS! I 
 
 into the sea, than that he 
 should offend one of these 
 little ones. 
 
 Take heed to yourselves : 
 If thy brother trespass 
 against thee, rebuke him ; 
 and if lie repent, forgive 
 him. 
 
 And if he trespass against 
 thee seven times in a day, 
 and seven times in a day 
 turn again to thee, saying, I 
 repent ; thou shalt forgive 
 him. 
 
 And the apostles said 
 unto the Lord, Increase our 
 faith. 
 
 And the Lord said, If ye 
 had faith as a grain of mus- 
 tard seed, ye might say unto 
 this sycamine tree, Be thou 
 plucked up by the root, 
 and be thou planted in the 
 sea ; and it should obey 
 you. 
 
 But which of you, having 
 a servant ploughing or feed- 
 ing cattle, will say unto him 
 by and by, when he is come

 287 
 
 from the held, Go and sit 
 down to meat ? 
 
 And will not rather say 
 u n t o him, Make ready 
 wherewith I may sup, and 
 gird thyself, and serve me, 
 till I have eaten and 
 d r u n ken ; and afterward 
 thou shalt eat and drink ? 
 
 Doth he thank that serv- 
 ant because he did the 
 things w h i c h are com- 
 manded him? I trow not. 
 
 So likewise ye, when ye 
 shall have done all those 
 thin g s which are com- 
 manded you, say, We are 
 unprofitable servants: we 
 have done that which was 
 our duty to do. 
 
 THK KINGDOM OP GOD. 
 
 And when He was de- 
 manded of the Pharisees, 
 when the kingdom of God 
 should come, He answered 
 them and said, The king- 
 dom of God cometh not 
 with observation : neither 
 
2*8 JESUS OF 
 
 shall they say, Lo here ! or, 
 lo there ! for behold, the 
 kingdom of God is within 
 you. 
 
 And He said unto 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. 
 
 And they shall say to 
 you, See here ; or, see 
 there, ; go not after them, 
 nor follow them. 
 
 For as the lightning that 
 lighteneth out of the one 
 part under heaven, shineth 
 unto the other part under 
 heaven ; so shall also the 
 Son of man be in His 
 day. 
 
 But first must He suffer 
 many things, and be re- 
 jected of this generation. 
 
 And as it was in the days 
 of Noe, so shall it be also 
 in the days of the Son of 
 man. 
 
 They did eat, the)- drank, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 they married wives, they 
 were given in marriage, 
 until the day that Noe en- 
 tered into the aTk, and the 
 flood came, and destroyed 
 them all. 
 
 Likewise also as it was in 
 the days of Lot ; they did 
 eat, they drank, the}' 
 bought, they sold, they 
 planted, they builded ; 
 
 But the same day that 
 Lot went out of Sodom, it 
 rained fire and brimstone 
 from heaven, and destroyed 
 them all. 
 
 Even thus shall it be in 
 the day when the Son of 
 man is revealed. 
 
 In that day, he which 
 shall be upon the housetop, 
 and his stuff in the house, 
 let him not come down to 
 take it away : and he that 
 is in the field, let him like- 
 wise not return back. 
 
 Remember Lot's wife ! 
 
 Whosoever shall seek to 
 save his life shall lose it ; 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 .89 
 
 and whosoever shall lose his 
 life shall preserve it. 
 
 I tell you, in that night 
 there shall be two men in 
 one bed ; the one shall be 
 taken, and the other shall be 
 left. 
 
 Two women shall be grind- 
 ing together ; the one shall 
 be taken and the other left. 
 
 Two men shall be in the 
 field ; the one shall be taken, 
 and the other left. 
 
 And they answered and 
 said unto Him, Where, 
 Lord ? And He said unto 
 the m , Wheresoever the 
 body is, thither will the 
 eagles be gathered to- 
 gether. 
 
 OF THE IMPORTUNAT K 
 WIDOW. 
 
 And He spake a parable 
 unto them to this end, that 
 men ought always to pray, 
 and not to faint. 
 
 Saying, There was in a 
 city a judge, which feared | 
 
 not God, neither regarded 
 man. 
 
 And there was a widow 
 in that city ; and she came 
 unto him, saying, Avenge 
 me of mine adversary. 
 
 And he would not for a 
 while, but afterward he 
 said within himself, Though 
 I fear not God, nor regard 
 man ; yet because this 
 widow troubleth me, I will 
 avenge her, lest by her con- 
 tinual coining she weary 
 me. 
 
 And the Lord said, Hear 
 what the unjust judge saith. 
 And shall not God avenge 
 His own elect, which cry 
 day and night unto Him, 
 though He bear long with 
 them ? 
 
 I tell you that He will 
 avenge them speedily. Nev- 
 ertheless, when the Son of 
 man cometh shall He find 
 faith 011 the earth ? 
 
 And He spake this para- 
 ble unto certain which 
 
i9 o JESUS OF 
 
 trusted in themselves that 
 they were righteous, and 
 despised others. 
 
 Two men went up into 
 the temple to pray ; the one 
 a Pharisee and the other a 
 publican. 
 
 The Pharisee stood up 
 and prayed thus with him- 
 self, God, I thank thee, 
 that I am not as other 
 men are, extortioners, un- 
 just, adulterers, or even as 
 this publican. 
 
 I fast twice in the week, 
 I give tithes of all that I 
 possess. 
 
 And the publican, stand- 
 ing afar off, would not lift 
 up so much as his eyes unto 
 heaven, but smote upon his 
 breast, saying, God be mer- 
 ciful to me a sinner ! 
 
 I tell you, this man went 
 down to his house justified 
 rather than the other : for 
 every one that exalteth him- 
 self shall be abased ; and 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 he that humbleth himself 
 shall be exalted. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 CHRIST RAISETH LAZARUS. 
 
 NOW a certain man was 
 sick, named Lazarus, 
 of Bethany, the town of 
 Mary and her sister Martha, 
 
 (It was that Mary which 
 anointed the Lord with 
 ointment, and wiped His 
 feet with her hair, whose 
 brother Lazarus was sick. ) 
 
 Therefore his sisters sent 
 unto Him, saying, Lord, 
 behold, he whom thou lovest 
 is sick. 
 
 When Jesus heard that 
 He said, This sickness is not 
 unto death, but for the 
 glory of God, that the Son 
 of God might be glorified 
 thereby. 
 
 Now Jesus loved Martha, 
 and her sister, and Lazarus. 
 
 When He had heard 
 therefore that he was sick, 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 291 
 
 He abode two days still in 
 the same place where He 
 was. 
 
 Then after that, saith He 
 to His disciples, let us go 
 into Judea again. 
 
 His disciples say unto 
 Him, Master, the Jews of 
 late sought to stone thee ; 
 and goest t h o u thither 
 
 again 
 
 Jesus answered, Are there 
 not twelve hours in the day ? 
 If any man walk in the day, 
 he stumbleth not, because 
 he seeth the light of this 
 world. 
 
 But if a man walk in the 
 night, he stumbleth, because 
 there is no light in him. 
 
 These things said He : 
 and after that He saith unto 
 them, Our friend Lazarus 
 sleepeth ; but I go, that I 
 may awake him out of 
 sleep. 
 
 Then said His disciples, 
 Lord, if he sleep, he shall 
 do well. 
 
 Howbeit Jesus spake of 
 his death : but they thought 
 that He had spoken of tak- 
 ing rest in sleep. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them plainly, Lazarus is 
 dead. 
 
 And I am glad for your 
 sakes that I was not there, 
 to the intent ye may be- 
 lieve ; nevertheless let us 
 go unto him. 
 
 Then said Thomas, which 
 is called Didymus, unto his 
 fellow disciples, Let us also 
 go, that we may die with 
 Him. 
 
 Then when Jesus came, 
 He found that he had lain 
 in the grave four days al- 
 ready. 
 
 Now Bethany was nigh 
 unto Jerusalem, about fif- 
 teen furlongs off, and many 
 of the Jews came to Martha 
 and Mary, to comfort them 
 concerning their brother. 
 
 Then Martha, as soon as 
 she heard that Jesus was 
 
29 2 JESUS OF 
 
 coming, went and met Him: 
 but Mary sat still in the 
 house. 
 
 Then said Martha unto 
 Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst 
 been here, my brother had 
 not died ! 
 
 But I know, that even 
 now, whatsoever thou wilt 
 ask of God, God will give 
 it thee. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, Thy 
 brother shall rise again. 
 
 Martha said unto Him, 
 I know that he shall rise 
 again in the resurrection at 
 the last day. 
 
 Jesus said unto her, I am 
 the resurrection and the 
 life : he that believeth in 
 me, though he were dead, 
 yet shall he live : and 
 whosoever liveth and be- 
 lieveth in me shall never 
 die. Believe st thou 
 this? 
 
 She saith unto Him, Yea, 
 Lord : I believe that Thou 
 art the Christ, the Son of 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 God, which should come 
 into the world. 
 
 And when she had so 
 said, she went her way, and 
 called Mary her sister 
 secretly, saying, The Master 
 is come, and calleth for thee. 
 
 As soon as she heard that, 
 she arose quickly , and came 
 unto Him. 
 
 Now Jesus was not yet 
 come into the town, but 
 was in that place where 
 Martha met Him. 
 
 The Jews then which 
 were with her in the house, 
 and comforted her, when 
 they saw Mary, that she 
 rose up hastily and went 
 out, followed her, saying, 
 She goeth unto the grave to 
 weep there. 
 
 Then when Mary was 
 come where Jesus was, and 
 saw Him, she fell down at 
 His feet, saying unto Him, 
 Lord, if Thou hadst been 
 here, my brother had not 
 died! 
 
And when He had thus spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, 
 
 come forth ! 
 
When Jesus therefore saw 
 her weeping, and the Jews 
 also weeping which came 
 with her, He groaned in 
 the spirit, and was troubled; 
 
 And said, Where have ye 
 laid him? They said unto 
 Him, Lord, come and see. 
 
 Jesus wept. 
 
 Then said the Jews, Be- 
 hold how He loved him ! 
 
 And some of them said, 
 Could not this man, which 
 opened the eyes of the 
 blind, have caused that 
 even this man should not 
 have died? 
 
 Jesus therefore again 
 groaning in Himself cometh 
 to the grave. It was a cave, 
 and a stone lay upon it. 
 
 Jesus said, Take ye away 
 the stone. Martha, t h e 
 sister of him that was dead, 
 saith unto Him, Lord, by 
 this time he stinketh : for 
 he hath been dead four 
 days. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, 
 
 PASSETH BY 2 95 
 
 Said 1 not unto thee, that, 
 if thou wouldest believe, 
 thou shouldest see t h e 
 glory of God ! 
 
 Then they took away the 
 stone from tlie place where 
 the dead was laid. 
 
 And Jesus lifted up His 
 eyes and said, Father, I 
 thank thee that thou hast 
 heard me. And I knew that 
 thou nearest me always ; 
 but because of the people 
 which stand by I said //, 
 that they may believe that 
 thou hast sent me. 
 
 And when He had thus 
 spoken, He cried with a 
 loud voice, Lazarus, come 
 forth ! 
 
 And he that was dead 
 came forth, bound hand 
 and foot with graveclothes ; 
 and his face was bound 
 about with a napkin. Jesus 
 saith unto them, Loose him, 
 and let him go. 
 
 Then many of the Jews 
 which came to Mary, and 
 
296 
 
 had seen the things which 
 Jesus did, believed on Him. 
 
 But some of them went 
 their ways to the Pharisees, 
 and told them what things 
 Jesus had done. 
 
 Then gathered the chief 
 priests and the Pharisees a 
 council, and said, What do 
 we ? for this man doeth 
 many miracles. 
 
 If we let Him thus alone, 
 all men will believe on Him ; 
 and the Romans shall come 
 and take away both our 
 place and nation. 
 
 And one of them, named 
 Caiaphas, being the high 
 priest that same year, said 
 unto them, Ye know noth- 
 ing at all, nor consider it is 
 expedient for us, that 
 one m a n should die for 
 the people, and that 
 the whole nation perish 
 not. 
 
 And this spake he not of 
 himself : but being high 
 priest that vear, he prophe- 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 sied that Jesus should die 
 for that nation ; 
 
 And not for that nation 
 only, but that also He 
 should gather together in 
 one the children of God 
 that were scattered abroad. 
 
 Then from that day forth 
 the} 7 took counsel together 
 to put Him to death. 
 
 Jesus therefore walked no 
 more openly among the 
 Jews ; but went thence unto 
 a country near to the wil- 
 derness, into a city called 
 Kphraim, and there con- 
 tinued with His disciples. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 JESUS FORETELLS HIS 
 DEATH AND RESURREC- 
 TION. 
 
 AND Jesus going up to 
 Jerusalem, took the 
 twelve disciples apart in the 
 way, and began to tell them 
 what things should happen 
 unto Him, saying,

 And they were amazed ; 
 and as they followed, they 
 were afraid. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 The Son of man shall be 
 betrayed unto the chief 
 priests and unto the scribes, 
 and they shall condemn Him 
 to death ; 
 
 And He shall be delivered 
 unto the Gentiles, and 
 shall be mocked, and spite- 
 fully entreated, and spitted 
 on : 
 
 And they shall scourge 
 Him, and put Him to death ; 
 and the third day He shall 
 rise again. 
 
 And they u n d erstoo d 
 none of these things : and 
 this saying was hid from 
 ihem, neither knew they 
 the things which were 
 spoken. 
 
 PASSF.TH BY. 299 
 
 ^1 Then came to Him the 
 mother of Zebedee's chil- 
 dren, with her sons, James 
 and John, worshipping Him, 
 and saying, Master, w e 
 would that thou shouldest 
 do for us whatsoever we 
 shall desire. 
 
 And He .said unto them, 
 What would ye that I should 
 do for you ? 
 
 She said unto Him, Grant 
 that these my two sons 
 may sit, the one on thy 
 right hand and the other 
 on the left, in thy kingdom. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said, Ye know not what ye 
 ask. Are ye able to drink 
 of the cup that I shall 
 drink of, and to be baptized 
 with the baptism that 
 I am baptized with ? 
 They say unto Him, We 
 are able. 
 
 And Jesus said unto them, 
 Ye shall indeed drink of the 
 cup that I drink of ; and 
 with the baptism that I am 
 
}oo 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 baptized withal shall ye be 
 baptized : 
 
 But to sit on my right 
 hand and on 1113' left hand, 
 is not mine to give, but 
 it shall fit given to them 
 for whom it is prepared of 
 my Father. 
 
 And when the ten heard 
 it, they were moved with in- 
 dignation against the two 
 brethren. 
 
 But Jesus called them 
 unto Him, and said, Ye 
 know that the princes of 
 the Gentiles exercise do- 
 minion over them, and 
 they that are great, ex- 
 ercise authority upon them. 
 
 But it shall not be so 
 among you : but whoso- 
 ever will be great among 
 you, let him be your minis- 
 ter ; and whosoever will 
 be chief among you, let 
 him be your sen-ant. 
 
 For even the Son of man 
 came not to be ministered 
 unto, but to minister, and 
 
 to give His life a ransom 
 for many. 
 
 THE BLIND BEGGAR BARTI- 
 M.EUS. 
 
 And it came to pass that 
 as he was come nigh unto 
 Jericho, with His disciples 
 and a great number of peo- 
 ple, blind Bartimaeus, the 
 the son of Timaeus, sat by 
 the highway side begging. 
 
 And hearing the multi- 
 tude pass by, he asked what 
 it meant. 
 
 And they told him, that 
 Jesus of Nazareth passeth by 
 
 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 ' 
 
 And they which went 
 before, rebuked him ; and 
 many charged him that he 
 should hold his peace : but 
 he cried the more a great 
 deal, thou Son of David, 
 have mercy on me ! 
 
And Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. 
 
PASSET 
 
 And Jesus stood still, and 
 commanded, him to be 
 
 called. And they call the 
 blind man, saying unto him, 
 Be of good comfort, rise ; 
 He calleth thee ! 
 
 And he, casting away his 
 garment, rose, and came to 
 Jesus. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, What wilt 
 thou that I should do unto 
 thee ? The blind man 
 said nnto Him, Lord, 
 that I may receive my 
 sight. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him 
 Receive thy sight : thy 
 faith hath saved thee. Go 
 thy way ; thy faith hath 
 made thee whole. 
 
 And immediately he re- 
 ceived his sight, and 
 followed Jtsus in the way, 
 glorifying God: and 
 all the people when they 
 saw it, gave praise unto 
 God. 
 
 H BY. 303 
 
 OF ZACClIvErS, A PUBLICAN 
 
 And Jesus entered and 
 passed through Jericho. 
 
 And behold, there was a 
 man named Z a c c h ee u s , 
 which was the chief among 
 the publicans, and he was 
 rich. 
 
 And he sought to see Je- 
 sus who he was ; and could 
 not for the press, because 
 he was little of stature. 
 
 And he ran before, and 
 climbed up into a sycamore 
 tree to see Him ; for He 
 was to pass that way. 
 
 And when Jesus came to 
 the place, He looked up 
 and saw him, and said unto 
 him, Zacchseus, make haste 
 and come down ; for to-day 
 I must abide at thy house. 
 And he made haste and 
 came down, and received 
 Hun joyfully. 
 
 And when they saw it, 
 They all murmured, say- 
 | ing, That He was gone to 
 
3<M JESUS OF 
 
 be guest with a man that is 
 a sinner. 
 
 And Zacchaeus stood and 
 said unto the Lord, Behold, 
 Lord, the half of my goods 
 I .uive to the poor ; and if I 
 have taken any thing from 
 any man by false accusa- 
 tion, I restore him four- 
 fold. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 This day is salvation come 
 to this house, forasmuch as 
 he also is a son of Abra- 
 ham. 
 
 For the Son of man is 
 come to seek and to save 
 that which was lost. 
 
 And as they heard these 
 
 things, He added and spake 
 
 a parable, because He was 
 
 nigh to Jerusalem, and 
 
 because they thought 
 
 that the kingdom of God 
 
 should immediately ap- 
 pear. 
 
 He said therefore, A cer- 
 tain nobleman went into a 
 far country to receive for 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 himself a kingdom, and to 
 return. 
 
 And he called his ten 
 servants, and delivered 
 them ten pounds, and said 
 unto them, Occupy till I 
 come. 
 
 But his citizens hated 
 him, and sent a message 
 after him, saying, We will 
 not have this man to reign 
 over us. 
 
 And it came to pass, that 
 when he was returned, hav- 
 ing received the kingdom, 
 then he commanded these 
 servants to be called unto 
 him, to whom he had given 
 the money, that he might 
 know how much every 
 man had gained by trad- 
 ing. 
 
 Then came the first, say- 
 ing, Lord, thy pound hath 
 gained ten pounds. 
 
 And he said unto him, 
 Well, thou good sen-ant : 
 because thou hast been 
 faithful in a very little, have 
 
PASS I I BY. 
 over ten 
 
 .3' »S 
 
 thou authority 
 
 cities. 
 
 And the second came, 
 
 saying, Lord, thy pound 
 hath gained five pounds. 
 
 And he said likewise to 
 him, Be thou also over five- 
 cities. 
 
 And another came, say- 
 ing, Lord, behold, here is 
 thy pound, which I have 
 kept laid up in a napkin : 
 
 For I feared thee, because 
 
 thou art an austere man : 
 
 thoi takest up that thou 
 
 layelst not down, and reap- 
 
 est tiat thou didst not sow. 
 
 Anl he said unto him, 
 
 Out 6 thine own mouth 
 
 will I judge thee, thou 
 
 wicked servant . Thou 
 
 knewest that I was an 
 
 austere iau, taking up 
 
 that I laidnot down, and 
 
 reaping th t I did not 
 
 sow : 
 
 Wherefore hen gavest 
 not thou my m\ e y into the 
 bank, that at n. coming: I 
 
 might have required mine 
 own with usury ? 
 
 And he said unto them 
 that stood by, Take from 
 him the pound, and give it 
 to him that hath ten pounds. 
 
 (And they said unto him, 
 L,ord, he hath ten pounds. ) 
 
 For I say unto you, That 
 unto everyone which hath, 
 shall be given ; and from 
 him that hath not, even 
 that he hath shall be taken 
 away from him. 
 
 But those mine enemies, 
 which would not that I 
 should reign over the m , 
 bring hither, and slay them 
 before me. 
 
 And when He had thus 
 spoken, He went before, 
 ascending up to Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 JESUS SUPS WITH MARY, 
 MARTHA AND LAZARUS. 
 
 ND the Jews' passover 
 /as nigh at hand : 
 and many went out of the 
 
 A 
 
3 o6 JESUS OF 
 
 country up to Jerusalem be- 
 fore the passover to purify 
 themselves. 
 
 Then sought they for Je- 
 sus, and spake among them- 
 selves as the>* stood in the 
 temple, What think ye, 
 that He will not come to 
 the feast ? 
 
 Now both the chief priests 
 and the Pharisees had given 
 a commandment, that if 
 any man knew where He 
 were, he should shew it, that 
 they might take Him. 
 
 Then Jesus, six days be- 
 fore the passover, came to 
 Bethany, where Lazarus 
 was which had been dead, 
 whom He raised from the 
 dead. 
 
 Much people of the Jews 
 also knew that He was 
 there : and they came not 
 for Jesus' sake only, but 
 that they might see Laza- 
 rus also, whom He had 
 raised from the dead. 
 
 But the chief priests con- 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 suited that they might put 
 Lazarus also to death ; be- 
 cause that by reason of 
 him, many of the Jews 
 went away and believed on 
 Jesus. 
 
 And Jesus, being in Beth- 
 any, in the house of Simou 
 the leper, they made Him 
 a supper ; and Martlu 
 served ; but Lazarus was 
 one of them that sat at the 
 table with Him. 
 
 Then took Mary an aa- 
 baster box of very precbus 
 ointment of spikenard, 'ery 
 costly, and she brake the 
 box, and poured It o 1 - His 
 head as He sat at met, and 
 anointed the feet o' Jesus, 
 and wiped His feetvvith her 
 hair : and the huse was 
 filled with the oc^ur of the 
 ointment. 
 
 But when fis disciples 
 saw it, ther were some 
 that had indignation 
 w i t h i n iemselves, and 
 murmure' a gainst her, say- 
 
PASSETH 
 
 ing, To what purpose is this 
 waste ? 
 
 Then saith one of His 
 disciples, (Judas Iseariot, 
 Simon's son, which should 
 betray Him, ) Why was not 
 this ointment sold for three 
 hundred pence, and given to 
 the poor ? 
 
 This he said, not that he 
 cared for the poor ; but be- 
 cause he was a thief, and 
 had the bag, and bare what 
 was put therein. 
 
 Then said Jesus, Let her 
 alone ; why trouble ye her ? 
 she hath wrought a good 
 work on me : against the 
 day of my burying hath she 
 kept this. 
 
 For ye have the poor with 
 you always, and whensoever 
 ye will, ye may do them 
 good : but me ye have not 
 always. 
 
 She hath done what she 
 coidd : 
 
 For in that she hath 
 poured this ointment on my 
 
 BY. 307 
 
 body, she is come aforehand 
 to anoint my body for the 
 burial. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 Wheresoever this gospel 
 shall be preached through- 
 out the whole world, there 
 shall also this that she hath 
 done, be told for a memo- 
 rial of her. 
 
 And it came to pass on 
 the next day, when they 
 drew nigh unto Jerusalem, 
 and were come unto Beth- 
 phage, unto the mount of 
 Olives, much people that 
 were come to the feast, 
 when they heard that Jesus 
 was coming to Jerusalem, 
 
 Took branches of palm 
 trees, and went forth to 
 meet Him, and cried, Ho- 
 sanna ! Blessed is the king 
 of Israel that cometh in the 
 name of the Lord ! 
 
 Then sent Jesus forth two 
 of His disciples, and saith 
 unto them, Go your way 
 into the village over against 
 
3 o8 JESUS OF 
 
 you ; and as soon as ye be 
 entered into it, straightway 
 ye shall find an ass tied and 
 a eolt with her, whereon 
 never man sat : loose them, 
 bring them unto me. 
 
 And if any man say unto 
 you, Why do ye this? say 
 ye, The Lord hath need of 
 them, and straightway he 
 will send them. 
 
 And the diseiples that 
 were sent went their way, 
 and found the eolt even as 
 He had said unto them, tied 
 by the door without, in a 
 place where two ways met ; 
 and they loose him. 
 
 And as they were loosing 
 the colt, the owners thereof 
 that stood there, said unto 
 them, What do ye, loosing 
 the colt ? 
 
 And they said, The L,ord 
 hath need of him ; even 
 as Jesus had commanded : 
 and they let them go. 
 
 And they brought the ass 
 and the colt to Jesus, and 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 cast their garments upon 
 the colt, and they set Jesus 
 thereon. 
 
 All this was done, that it 
 might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by the prophets, 
 saying, 
 
 'Tell ye the daughter of 
 Sion, Fear not ; behold, thy 
 king cometh unto thee, 
 meek, and sitting upon an 
 ass, and a colt the foal of 
 an ass." 
 
 These things understood 
 not His disciples at the 
 first : but when Jesus was 
 glorified, then remembered 
 they that these things were 
 written of Him, and that 
 thev had done these thing's 
 unto Him. 
 
 The people therefore that 
 was with Him when He 
 called Lazaru s out of 
 his grave, and raised him 
 from the dead, bare re- 
 cord. 
 
 For this cause the people 
 also met Him, for that thej r 
 
The Lonl hath need of them."

 heard that He had done 
 this miracle. 
 
 CHRIST RIDETH INTO JERU- 
 SALEM 
 
 And as He went, a very 
 great multitude spread their 
 garments in the way ; 
 others cut down branches 
 from the trees, and strewed 
 them in the way. 
 
 And when He was come 
 nigh, even now at the de- 
 scent of the mount of Olives, 
 the whole multitude of the 
 disciples, and the multitudes 
 that went before, and that 
 followed, began to rejoice 
 and praise God with a loud 
 voice for all the mighty 
 works that they had seen ; 
 
 And cried, saying, Ho- 
 sanna to the Son of David ! 
 Hosanna in the highest ! 
 Blessed be the king that 
 Cometh in the name of the 
 Lord ! peace in heaven, and 
 glory in the highest ! 
 
 Blessed be the kingdom 
 
 of our father David, that 
 cometh in the name of the 
 L,ord ! Hosanna in the 
 highest ! 
 
 The Pharisees therefore 
 said among themselves, Per- 
 ceive ye how ye prevail 
 nothing? behold, the world 
 is gone after Him. 
 
 And some of the Phari- 
 sees from among the multi- 
 tude said unto Him, Master, 
 rebuke thy disciples. 
 
 And He answered and 
 said unto them, I tell you 
 that, if these should hold 
 their peace, the stones 
 would immediately cry out. 
 
 And when He was come 
 near He beheld the city, 
 and wept over it, saying, If 
 thou hadst known, even 
 thou, at least in this thy 
 day, the things which belong 
 unto thy peace ! but now 
 they are hid from thine 
 eyes. 
 
 For the days shall come 
 upon thee, that thine ene- 
 
3 12 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 mies shall cast a trench 
 about thee, and compass 
 thee round and keep thee 
 in on every side, and shall 
 lay thee even with 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. 
 
 And when He was come 
 into Jerusalem all the city 
 was moved, savins:, Who is 
 this? 
 
 And the m u 1 t i t u d e 
 said This is Jesus the 
 prophet of Nazareth of 
 Galilee. 
 
 And He went into the 
 temple, and began to cast 
 out them that sold therein, 
 and them that bought ; and 
 overthrew the tables of the 
 money-changers, and the 
 seats of them that sold 
 doves ; and would not suffer 
 that any man should carry 
 
 any vessel through the tem- 
 ple ; saying unto them , 
 
 Is it not written, "My 
 house shall be called of all 
 nations the house of 
 prayer?" but ye have made 
 it a den of thieves. 
 
 And the scribes and chief 
 priests* heard it, and sought 
 how they might destroy 
 Him : and could not find 
 what they might do : for 
 all the people were aston- 
 ished at His doctrine, and 
 were very attentive to hear 
 Him. 
 
 And the blind and the 
 lame came to Him in the 
 temple ; and He healed 
 them. 
 
 And when the chief 
 priests and scribes saw the 
 wonderful things that He 
 did, and the children cry- 
 ing in the temple, and say- 
 ing, Hosanna to the Son of 
 David ! they were sore dis- 
 pleased, 
 
 And said unto Him.

 Hearest thou what these 
 say ? And Jesus saith unto 
 them, Yea ; have ye never 
 read, "Out of the mouth of 
 babes and sucklings Thou 
 hast perfected praise ?" 
 
 And when He had looked 
 round about upon all things, 
 and now the eventide was 
 come, He left them, and 
 went out of the city unto 
 Bethany with the twelve, 
 
 .?<5 
 
 and He lodged there. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 THE FRUITLESS FIG TREE. 
 
 AND on the morrow, in 
 the morning, when 
 they were come from Beth- 
 any, as He returned into 
 the city, He hungered. 
 
 And when He saw a fig 
 tree in the way, afar off, 
 having leaves, He came, if 
 haply he might find any 
 thing thereon : and when 
 He came to it, He found things 
 
 nothing but leaves ; for the 
 time of figs was not yet. 
 
 And Jesus said unto it, 
 Let no fruit grow on the tree 
 henceforward for ever. And 
 His disciples heard it. And 
 presently the fig tree with- 
 ered away. 
 
 And they came to Jeru- 
 salem : and it came to pass 
 as He taught the people in 
 the temple and preached 
 the gospel, the chief priests 
 and the scribes came upon 
 Him with the elders, and 
 spake unto Him, saying, 
 
 Tell us by what authority 
 doest thou these things, and 
 who gave thee this au- 
 thority. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, I will also 
 ask of you one question : 
 the baptism of John, whence 
 was it ? from heaven or of 
 men? Answer me, and I 
 in likewise will tell you by 
 what authority I do these 
 
3«6 JESUS OF 
 
 And they reasoned with 
 themselves saying, If we 
 shall say from heaven, He 
 will say, Why then did ye 
 not believe him ? but if we 
 shall say of men, all the 
 people will stone us ; for 
 they be persuaded that John 
 was a prophet indeed. 
 
 And they answered and 
 said unto Jesus, We cannot 
 tell whence it was. And 
 Jesus said unto the m , 
 Neither do I tell you by 
 what authority I do these 
 things. 
 
 But what think ye ? A 
 certain man had two sons ; 
 and he came to the first, 
 and said, Son, go work to- 
 day in my vineyard. 
 
 He answered and said, I 
 will not ; but afterward he 
 repented, and went. 
 
 And he came to the sec- 
 ond, and said likewise. And 
 he answered and said, I go, 
 sir ; and went not. 
 
 Whether of them twain 
 
 NAZARETH 
 did the will of his father? 
 They say unto Him, The 
 first. Jesus saith unto them, 
 Verily I .say unto you, that 
 the publicans and the har- 
 lots go into the kingdom of 
 God before you. 
 
 For John came unto you 
 in the way of righteousness, 
 and ye believed him not ; 
 but the publicans and the 
 harlots believed him : and ye, 
 when ye had seen it, re- 
 pented not afterward, that 
 ye might believe him. 
 
 Hear another parable : 
 There was a certain house- 
 holder, which planted a 
 vineyard, and hedged it 
 round about, and digged a 
 winepress in it, and built a 
 tower, and let it out to 
 husbandmen, and went into 
 a far country for a long 
 time. 
 
 And when the time of 
 the fruit drew near, he sent 
 to the husbandmen a ser- 
 vant, that he might receive

 And the multitude said,. This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 
 
 i 
 
PASSFTH BY 
 
 3«9 
 
 from the husbandmen of the 
 fruit of the vineyard. 
 
 And the husbandmen 
 caught him, and beat him, 
 and sent him away empty. 
 
 And again he sent unto 
 them another servant ; and 
 at him they east stones, and 
 wounded him in the head, 
 and entreated him shame- 
 full}', and sent him away 
 empty. 
 
 And again he sent a 
 third : and him they killed, 
 and many others ; beating 
 some and killing some. 
 
 Then said the Lord of 
 the vineyard, What shall I 
 do ? I will send my be- 
 loved sou ; it may be they 
 will reverence him when 
 they see him. 
 
 Having yet therefore one 
 son, his well beloved, he 
 sent him also last unto 
 them, saying, They will 
 reverence my son. 
 
 But when the husband- 
 men saw him they reasoned 
 
 among themselves, saying, 
 This is the heir ; come, let 
 us kill him, that the inheri- 
 tance may be ours. 
 
 So they cast him out of 
 the vineyard, and killed 
 him. 
 
 When therefore the Lord 
 of the vineyard cometh, 
 what will he do unto those 
 h u s b a n d m en? He will 
 miserably destroy those 
 wicked men, and will let 
 out his vineyard unto other 
 husbandmen, w h i c li shall 
 render him the fruits in 
 their seasons. 
 
 And when they heard it, 
 the} r said, God forbid ! 
 
 And He beheld them, and 
 said, What is this then that 
 is written ? Did ye never 
 read this Scripture : ' ' The 
 stone which the builders 
 rejected, the same is become 
 the head of the corner : this 
 is the Lord's doing, and it 
 is marvellous in our eyes ? ' 
 
 Therefore say I unto you. 
 
-?20 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 The kingdom of God shall 
 be taken from you, and 
 given to a nation bringing 
 forth the fruits thereof. 
 
 And whosoever shall fall 
 on this stone shall be 
 broken : but on whomso- 
 ever it shall fall, it will 
 grind him to powder. 
 
 And when the c h i e f 
 priests and Pharisees had 
 heard His parables, they 
 perceived that He .spake of 
 them ; and they sought the 
 same hour to lay hold on 
 Him, but feared the multi- 
 tude, because the}' took 
 Him for a prophet. 
 
 And they left Him, and 
 went their way, and took 
 counsel how they might 
 entangle Him in His talk. 
 
 For though He had done 
 so many miracles before 
 them, yet they believed not 
 on Him : that the saying of 
 Esaias the prophet might 
 be fulfilled, which he spake, 
 "Lord, who hath believed 
 
 our report ? and to whom 
 hath the arm of the Lord 
 been revealed ? ' ' 
 
 Therefore they could not 
 believe, because that Esaias 
 said again, "He hath 
 blinded their eyes, a n d 
 hardened their heart ; that 
 they should not see with 
 their eyes, nor understand 
 with their heart, and be 
 converted, and I .should 
 heal them. " 
 
 These things said Esaias, 
 when he saw His glory, and 
 spake of Him. 
 
 Nevertheless among the 
 chief rulers also many be- 
 lieved on Him ; but because 
 of the Pharisees they did 
 not confess Him, lest they 
 should be put out of the 
 synagogue : 
 
 For they loved the praise 
 of men more than the 
 praise of God.

 temple ; and at night He 
 went out, and abode in the 
 mount that is called the 
 mount oi Olives. 
 
 And all the people came 
 early in the morning to 
 Him in the temple, for to 
 hear Him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 AND as He returned in- 
 to the city with His 
 disciples, as they passed by, 
 they saw the fig tree which 
 He had cursed dried up 
 from the roots ; and when 
 the disciples saw it, they 
 marvelled ; 
 
 And Peter calling to re- 
 in e 111 b r a 11 c e , saith unto 
 Him, Master, behold, the 
 fig tree which thou cursedst 
 is whithered away ! 
 
 And Jesus a n s w e r i 11 g 
 saith unto them, Have faith 
 in God. 
 
 For verily I say unto you, 
 If ye have faith, and doubt 
 
 not, ye shall not only do 
 this which is done to the fig 
 tree, but also if ye shall say 
 unto this mountain, Be thou 
 removed, and be thou cast 
 into the sea; it shall be done. 
 
 And all things, whatso- 
 ever ye shall ask in prayer, 
 believing, ye shall receive. 
 
 Therefore I say unto you, 
 What things, soever ye de- 
 sire, when ye pray, believe 
 that ye receive them, and ye 
 shall have them. 
 
 And when ye stand pray- 
 ing, forgive, if ye have 
 aught against any ; that 
 you Father also which is in 
 heaven may forgive you 
 your trespasses. 
 
 But if ye do not forgive, 
 neither will your Father 
 which is in heaven forgive 
 your trespasses. 
 
 \ And there were certain 
 Greeks among them that 
 came up to worship at the 
 feast : 
 
324 JESUS OF 
 
 The same caine therefore 
 to Philip, which was of 
 Bethsaida of Galilee, and 
 desired him, saying, Sir, 
 we would see Jesus. 
 
 Philip cometh and telleth 
 Andrew : and again Andrew 
 and Philip tell Jesus. 
 
 And Jesus answered 
 them, saying, The hour is 
 come, that the Son of man 
 should be glorified. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, Except a corn of 
 wheat fall into the ground 
 and die, it abideth alone : 
 but if it die, it bringeth 
 forth much fruit. 
 
 He that loveth his life 
 shall lose it ; and he that 
 hateth his life in this world, 
 shall keep it unto life 
 eternal. 
 
 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 will my 
 Father honour. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Now is my soul troubled ; 
 and what shall I say ? 
 Father, save me from this 
 hour? but for this cause 
 came I unto this hour. 
 Father, glorify thy name. 
 
 A VOICE FROM HEAVEN 
 
 Then came there a voice 
 from heaven, saying, I have 
 both glorified it, and will 
 glorify //again. 
 
 The people therefore that 
 stood by, and heard it, said 
 that it thundered : others 
 said, An angel spake to 
 Him. 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 This voice came not because 
 of me, but for your sakes. 
 
 Now is the judgment of 
 this world : now shall the 
 prince of this world be cast 
 out. 
 
 And I, if I be lifted up 
 from the earth, will draw 
 all men unto me. 
 
 (This He said, signifying 
 what death He should die.) 
 
PASSETH 
 
 The people answered Him. 
 We heard out of the law 
 that Christ abideth forever : 
 and how sayest thou, The 
 Son of man must be lifted 
 up ! who is this Son of 
 man ? 
 
 Then Jesus said unto them, 
 Yet a little while is the light, 
 with you. Walk while }'e 
 have the light, lest darkness 
 come upon you : for he that 
 walketh in darkness know- 
 eth not whither he goeth. 
 
 While ye have light, be- 
 lieve in the light, that ye 
 may be the children of light. 
 
 He that believeth on me, 
 believeth not on me, but on 
 Him that sent me ; and he 
 that seeth me, seeth Him 
 that sent me. 
 
 I am come a light into the 
 world, that whosoever be- 
 lieveth on me should not 
 abide in darkness. 
 
 And if any man hear my 
 words, and believe not, I 
 judge him not : for I came 
 
 BY. 
 
 325 
 
 not to judge the world, but 
 to save the world. 
 
 He that rejecteth me and 
 receiveth not my words, hath 
 one that judgeth him : the 
 word that I have spoken, 
 the same shall judge him in 
 the last da}-. 
 
 For I have not spoken of 
 myself ; but the Father 
 which sent me, He gave me 
 a commandment, what I 
 should say, and what I 
 should speak. 
 
 And I know that His 
 commandment is life ever- 
 lasting : whatsoever I .speak 
 therefore, even as the 
 Father said unto me, so I 
 speak. 
 
 THE WIDOWS MITE 
 
 And Jesus .sat over 
 against the treasury ; and 
 He looked up, and beheld 
 how the people cast money 
 into the treasury : and manj^ 
 that were rich cast in much. 
 
 And there came a certain 
 
326 JESUS OF 
 
 poor widow, and she threw 
 in two mites, which made a 
 farthing. 
 
 And He called unto Him 
 His disciples, and saith unto 
 them, Verily I say unto 
 3'ou, That this poor widow 
 hath cast more in, than all 
 they which have cast into 
 the treasury ; 
 
 For all they did cast in of 
 their abundance unto the 
 offerings of God : but she of 
 her want did cast in all that 
 she had, even all her living. 
 
 ^1 And Jesus answered 
 and spake unto them again 
 by parables, and said, 
 
 The kingdom of heaven 
 is like unto a certain king, 
 which made a marriage for 
 his son ; 
 
 And sent forth his ser- 
 vants to call them that were 
 bidden to the wedding : 
 and the} r would not come. 
 
 Again, he sent forth 
 other servants, saying, Tell 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 them which are bidden, Be- 
 hold, I have prepared my 
 dinner : my oxen and my 
 fatlings are killed, and all 
 things already : come unto 
 the marriage. 
 
 But they made light of 
 it, and went their ways, one 
 to his farm, another to his 
 merchandise : 
 
 And the remnant took his 
 servants, and entreated tJictn 
 spitefully, and slew them. 
 
 But when the king heard 
 thereof, he was wroth : and 
 he sent forth his armies, 
 and destroyed those mur- 
 derers, and burned up their 
 city. 
 
 Then saith he to his ser- 
 vants, The w e d d i n g is 
 ready, but they which were 
 bidden were not worthy. 
 
 Go ye therefore into the 
 highways, and as many as 
 ye shall find, bid to the 
 marriage. 
 
 So those servants went 
 out into the highways, and 
 
The Widow's Mite 
 
gathered together all as 
 many as they found, both 
 bad and good ; and the 
 wedding was furnished with 
 guests. 
 
 And when the king came 
 in to see the guests, he saw 
 there a man which had not 
 on a wedding garment : 
 
 And he saith unto him, 
 Friend, how earnest thou in 
 hither not having a wedding 
 garment? And he was 
 speechless. 
 
 Then said the king to the 
 servants, Bind him hand 
 and foot, and take him 
 away, and cast him into 
 outer darkness ; there shall 
 be weeping and gnashing 
 of teeth. 
 
 For many are called, but 
 few are chosen. 
 
 TRIBUTE TO BE PAID TO 
 CESAR 
 
 Then send the Pharisees 
 Unto Him spies, to catch 
 Him in His words, (certain 
 
 PASSETH BY. 3=9 
 
 of their disciples with the 
 Herodians, ) which should 
 feign themselves just men, 
 that they might take hold 
 of I lis words, that so they 
 might deliver Him unto the 
 power and authority of the 
 governor. 
 
 And when they were 
 come, they say unto Him, 
 Master, we know that thou 
 sayest and teachest rightly, 
 that thou art true, and 
 teachest the way of God in 
 truth, neither carest thou 
 for any man : for thou re- 
 gardest not the person of 
 men. 
 
 Tell us therefore, What 
 thiukest thou ? Is it lawful 
 to give tribute unto Caesar, 
 or not ? 
 
 But Jesus perceived their 
 craftiness, and knowing 
 their hypocrisy and wicked- 
 ness, said unto them, Why 
 tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 
 
 Shew me the tribute 
 money ; bring me a penny 
 
WO 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 that I may see it. And 
 they brought unto Him a 
 penny. 
 
 And He saith unto them 
 Whose image and super- 
 scription hath it ? They say 
 unto Him, Caesar's. 
 
 Then saith He unto 
 them, Render therefore 
 unto Caesar the things which 
 are Caesar's ; and unto God 
 the things that are God's. 
 
 When they had heard 
 these words, they marvelled 
 at Him, and held their 
 peace ; 
 
 And they could not take 
 hold of His words before 
 the people : and they mar- 
 velled at His answer, and 
 left Him, and went their 
 way. 
 
 DENIERS OF THE RESURREC- 
 TION SILENCED 
 
 The same day came to 
 Him certain of the Sad- 
 ducees, which deny that 
 there is any resurrection ; 
 
 and they asked Him, say- 
 ing, 
 
 Master, Moses wrote unto 
 us, If any man's brother 
 die, having a wife, and he 
 die without children, that 
 his brother should marry 
 his wife, and raise up seed 
 unto his brother. 
 
 Xow there were with us 
 seven brethren : and the 
 first, when he had married 
 a wife, died ; and, having 
 no issue, left his wife unto 
 his brother : 
 
 And the second took her 
 to wife, and he died child- 
 less. 
 
 And the third took her, 
 and in like manner the seven 
 also : and they left no 
 children, and died. 
 
 Last of all the woman 
 died also. 
 
 Therefore in the resur- 
 rection when they all shall 
 rise, whose wife shall she 
 be of the seven ? for they 
 all had her to wife. 
 
"Render unto Csesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the 
 things that are God's." 
 
And Jesus answering said 
 unto them, Ye do err, be- 
 cause ye know not the 
 Scriptures, neither the 
 power of God. 
 
 The children of this world 
 marry, and are given in 
 marriage : but they which 
 shall be accounted worthy 
 to obtain that world, and 
 the resurrection from the 
 dead, neither marry, nor are 
 given in marriage : 
 
 Neither can the)' die any 
 more : for they are equal 
 unto the angels of God in 
 heaven, and are the children 
 of God, being the children 
 of the resurrection. 
 
 But as touching the res- 
 urrection of the dead, have 
 ye not read in the book of 
 Moses, how in the bush God 
 spake unto him, saying, " I 
 am the God of Abraham, 
 and the God of Isaac, and 
 the God of Jacob ? ' ' 
 
 He is not the God of the 
 dead, but the God of the 
 
 T 
 
 PASSETH BY. 333 
 
 living : for all live unto 
 Him. Ye therefore do 
 greatly err. 
 
 And when the multitude 
 heard this, they were aston- 
 ished at His doctrine. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXY. 
 
 A LAWYER NOT FAR FROM 
 THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 
 
 HEN certain of the 
 scribes a n s w e r i n g 
 said, Master, thou hast well 
 said. 
 
 But when the Pharisees 
 had heard that He had put 
 the Saddueees to silence, 
 they were gathered to- 
 gether. 
 
 Then one of the scribes, 
 (a lawyer, ) came, and hav- 
 ing heard them reasoning 
 together, and pereeiving 
 that He had answered them 
 well, asked Him a question, 
 tempting Him, and saying, 
 
 Master, which is the 
 great commandment in the 
 
334 JESUS OF 
 
 law ; the first command- 
 ment of all ? 
 
 And Jesus answered him, 
 The first of all the com- 
 mandments is, "Hear. O 
 Israel ; The Lord our God 
 is one Lord : and thou shalt 
 love the Lord thy God with 
 all thy heart, and with all 
 thy soul, and with all thy 
 mind, and with all thy 
 strength : " 
 
 This is the first and great 
 commandment. 
 
 And the second is like 
 unto it, thou shalt love thy 
 neighbour as thyself. 
 
 On these two command- 
 ments hang all the law and 
 the prophets. There is none 
 other commandment greater 
 than these. 
 
 And the scribe said unto 
 Him, Well, Master, Thou 
 hast said the truth : for 
 there is one God ; and there 
 is none other but He : 
 
 And to love Him with all 
 the heart, and with all the 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 understanding, and with all 
 the soul, and with all the 
 strength, and to love his 
 neighbour as himself, is 
 more than all whole burnt 
 offerings and sacrifices. 
 
 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 at all. 
 
 While the Pharisees 
 were gathered together, 
 Jesus asked them, saying, 
 What think ye of Christ? 
 whose son is He ? They 
 say unto Him, The son of 
 David. 
 
 He said unto them, How 
 then doth David in spirit 
 call Him Lord ? 
 
 For David himself said 
 in the book of Psalms, by 
 the Holy Ghost, ' ' The Lord 
 said to my Lord, 'Sit thou on 
 my right hand, till I make 
 
PASSE! 
 
 thine enemies thy foot- 
 stool.' " 
 
 David therefore himself 
 calleth Him Lord ; How is 
 He then his son ? 
 
 And no man was able to 
 answer Him a word, neither 
 durst any man from that 
 day forth ask Him any 
 more questions. And the 
 common people heard Him 
 gladly. 
 
 Then spake Jesus to the 
 multitude, and to His disci- 
 ples, saying, The scribes 
 and the Pharisees sit in 
 Moses' seat : all therefore 
 whatsoever they bid you 
 observe, that observe and 
 do ; but do not ye after 
 their works : for they say, 
 and do not. 
 
 For they bind heavy bur- 
 dens and grievious to be 
 borne, and lay them on 
 niL-n's shoulders; but they 
 themselves will not move 
 them with one of their 
 fingers. 
 
 H BY. 335 
 
 But all their works they 
 do for to be seen of men. 
 
 They make broad their 
 phylacteries, and enlarge 
 the borders of their gar- 
 ments, and love the upper- 
 most rooms at feasts, and 
 the chief seats in the syna- 
 gogues, and greetings in 
 the markets, and to be 
 called of men , Rabbi, 
 Rabbi. 
 
 But be not ye called 
 Rabbi : for one is your 
 Master, even Christ ; and 
 all ye are brethren. 
 
 And call no man your 
 father upon the earth : for 
 one is your Father, which 
 is in heaven. 
 
 Neither be ye called 
 masters : for one is your 
 Master, even Christ. 
 
 But he that is greatest 
 among you, shall be your 
 servant. 
 
 And whosoever shall ex- 
 alt himself, shall be 
 abased ; and he that shall 
 
336 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 humble himself, shall be 
 exalted. 
 
 But woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye shut up the kingdom 
 of heaven against men : for 
 ye neither go in yourselves, 
 neither suffer ye them that 
 are entering to go in. 
 
 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye devour widows' 
 houses, and for a pretence 
 make long prayer : therefore 
 ye shall receive the greater 
 damnation. 
 
 Woe unto you, .scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye compass sea and land 
 to make one proselyte ; and 
 when he is made, ye make 
 him twofold more the 
 child of hell than your- 
 selves. 
 
 Woe unto 3-ou, ye blind 
 guides ! which say, Whoso- 
 ever shall swear by the 
 temple, it is nothing ; but 
 whosoever shall swear by 
 
 the gold of the temple, he 
 is a debtor. 
 
 Ye fools and blind : for 
 whether is greater, the gold, 
 or the temple that sanctifieth 
 the gold ? 
 
 And, Whosoever shall 
 swear by the altar, it is 
 nothing ; but whosoever 
 sweareth by the gift that is 
 upon it, he is guilty. 
 
 Ye fools and blind : for 
 whether is greater, the gift, 
 or the altar that sanctifieth 
 the gift ? 
 
 Whoso therefore shall 
 swear by the altar, sweareth 
 by it, and by all things 
 thereon. 
 
 And whoso shall swear 
 by the temple, sweareth by 
 it, and by Him thatdwelleth 
 therein. 
 
 And he that shall swear 
 by heaven, sweareth by the 
 throne of God, and by Him 
 that sitteth thereon. 
 
 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 
for ye pay tithe of mint and 
 anise and cummin, and have 
 omitted the weightier 
 matters of the law, judg- 
 ment, mercy, and faith : 
 these ought ye to have 
 done, and not to leave the 
 other undone. 
 
 Ye blind guides, which 
 strain at a gnat, a n d 
 swallow a camel. 
 
 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye make clean the out- 
 side of the cup and of the 
 platter, but within they 
 are full of extortion and 
 excess. 
 
 Thou blind Pharisee, 
 cleanse first that which is 
 within the cup and platter, 
 that the outside of them 
 may be clean also. 
 
 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 for ye are like unto whited 
 sepulchres, which indeed 
 appear beautiful outward, 
 but are within full of dead 
 
 PASSETH BY. 337 
 
 men's bones, and of all un- 
 cleanuess. 
 
 Even so ye also outwardly 
 appear righteous unto men, 
 but within ye are full of 
 hypocrisy and iniquity. 
 
 Woe unto you, scribes 
 and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
 because ye build the tombs 
 of the prophets, and gar- 
 nish the sepulchres of the 
 righteous, and say, If we 
 had been in the days of our 
 fathers, we would not have 
 been partakers with them 
 in the blood of the pro- 
 phets. 
 
 Wherefore ye be wit- 
 nesses unto yourselves, that 
 ye are the children of them 
 which killed the prophets. 
 
 Fill ye up then the meas- 
 ure of your fathers. 
 
 3 ^ serpents, ye generation 
 of vipers ! how can ye es- 
 cape the damnation of hell ? 
 
 Wherefore behold, I send 
 unto you prophets, and wise 
 men, and scribes : and some 
 
338 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 of them ye shall kill and 
 crucify ; and some of them 
 shall ye scourge in your 
 synagogues, and persecute 
 them from city to city : 
 
 That upon you ma}- come 
 all the righteous blood shed 
 upon the earth, from the 
 blood of righteous Abel 
 unto the blood of Zacharias 
 son of Barachias, whom ye 
 slew between the temple and 
 the altar. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 All these things shall come 
 upon this generation. 
 
 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
 thou that killest the pro- 
 phets, and stonest thtm 
 which are sent unto thee, 
 how often would I have 
 gathered thy children to- 
 gether ; even as a hen 
 gathereth her chickens 
 under het wings, and ye 
 would not ! 
 
 Behold, your house is 
 left unto you desolate. For 
 I sav unto you. Ye shall 
 
 not see me henceforth, till 
 ye shall say, Blessed is he 
 that cometh in the name of 
 the Lord ! 
 
 And Jesus went out, and 
 departed from the temple : 
 and did hide Himself from 
 them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI 
 
 CHRIST FORETELLETH THE 
 DESTRUCTION OF THE 
 TEMPLE. 
 
 AND as He went out of 
 the temple, some 
 spake of the temple, how it 
 was adorned with goodly 
 stones and gifts, and one of 
 His disciples saith unto Him 
 Master, see what manner of 
 stones and what buildings 
 are here ! 
 
 And Jesus answering 
 said unto him, Seest thou 
 these great buildings ? verily 
 I say unto you, the days 
 will come, in the which 
 | there shall not be left one 
 
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple : and did hide 
 Himself from them. 
 
The common people heard Him gladly.

 stone upon the other, that 
 shall not be thrown down. 
 
 And as He sat upon the 
 mount of Olives, over 
 against the temple, Peter 
 and James and John and 
 Andrew came unto Him 
 privately, saying, 
 
 Master, Tell us, when 
 shall these things be ? and 
 what sign will there be when 
 these things shall come to 
 pass ? and what shall be the 
 sign of thy coining, and of 
 the end of the world ? 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said unto them, Take heed 
 that no man deceive you. 
 
 For many shall come in 
 my name, saying, I am 
 Christ ; and shall deceive 
 
 many. 
 The 
 
 time draweth near : 
 not therefore after 
 
 go ye 
 
 them. 
 
 But when ye shall hear of 
 wars and rumors of wars, 
 see that ye be not troubled : 
 for such tilings must needs 
 
 be ; for all these things must 
 first come to pass ; but the 
 end is not yet. 
 
 For n a t i o n shall rise 
 against nation, and king- 
 dom against kingdom: and 
 there shall be famines, and 
 pestilences, and great earth- 
 quakes, in divers places; and 
 fearful sights and great signs 
 shall there be from heaven. 
 
 All these are the begin- 
 ning of sorrows. 
 
 But take heed to your- 
 selves: for they shall lay 
 their hands on you and per- 
 secute you, delivering you 
 up to the .synagogues, and 
 into prisons: 
 
 They shall deliver you 
 up to councils, to be afflicted, 
 and shall kill you, and in 
 the synagogues ye shall be 
 beaten: and ye shall be 
 before rulers and 
 for my sake, for a 
 testimony against them. 
 
 And ye shall be betrayed 
 both by parents, and bretb- 
 
 brought 
 kings 
 
344 JESUS OF 
 
 ren, and kinsfolks, and 
 friends; and some of you 
 shall they cause to be put to 
 
 death. 
 
 And ye shall be hated of 
 all men for my name's sake. 
 
 But there shall not an 
 hair of your head perish. 
 
 In your patience possess 
 ye your souls. 
 
 But when they shall lead 
 you, and deliver you up, take 
 no thought beforehand what 
 ye shall speak, neither do 
 ye premeditate: but what- 
 soever shall be given 
 you in that hour, that 
 speak ye: for it is not ye 
 that speak, but the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 Settle it therefore in your 
 hearts, not to meditate be- 
 fore what ye shall answer: 
 for I will give you a mouth 
 and wisdom, which all your 
 adversaries shall not be able 
 to gainsay nor resist. 
 
 And then shall many be 
 offended, and shall betray 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 one another, and shall hate 
 one another. 
 
 The brother shall betray 
 the brother to death, and 
 the father the son ; and 
 children shall rise up against 
 their parents, and shall cause 
 them to be put to death. 
 
 And many false prophets 
 shall rise, and shall deceive 
 man)'. 
 
 And because iniquity 
 shall abound, the love of 
 many shall wax cold. 
 
 But he that shall endure 
 unto the end, the same shall 
 be saved. 
 
 And this gospel of the 
 kingdom shall be preached 
 in all the world for a wit- 
 ness unto all nations ; and 
 then shall the end come. 
 
 When ye therefore shall 
 see the abomination of de- 
 solation, spoken of by 
 Daniel the prophet, stand in 
 the holy place, (whoso 
 readeth, let him under- 
 stand,) and when ye shall 
 
PASSETH 
 
 see Jerusalem compassed 
 with armies, then know that 
 the desolation thereof is 
 nigh. 
 
 Then let them which are 
 in Judea flee to the moun- 
 tains ; and let them which 
 are in the midst of it de- 
 part out ; and let not them 
 that are in the countries 
 enter thereinto. 
 
 And let him that is on 
 the housetop not go down 
 into the house, neither enter 
 therein, to take any thing 
 out of his house : neither 
 let him which is in the 
 field return back to take 
 his clothes. 
 
 For these be the days of 
 vengeance, that all things 
 which are written may be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 But woe unto them that 
 are with child, and to them 
 that give .suck i n those 
 days ! for there shall be great 
 distress in the land, and 
 wrath upon this people. 
 
 BY. 34.S 
 
 And they shall fall by thfl 
 edge of the sword, and shall 
 be led away captive into all 
 nations; and Jerusalem 
 shall be trodden down of 
 the Gentiles, until the times 
 of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 
 
 But pray ye that your 
 flight be not in the winter, 
 neither on the sabbath day: 
 for then shall be great tribu- 
 lation, such as was not since 
 the beginning of the world 
 which God created unto this 
 time, no, nor ever shall 
 be. 
 
 And except that the L,ord 
 had shortened those days, 
 no flesh should be saved: 
 but for the elect's sake, 
 whom He hath chosen, He 
 hath shortened the days. 
 
 And then if any man 
 shall say to you, I,o, here is 
 Christ; or, lo, He is there, 
 believe him not: for false 
 Christs and false prophets 
 shall rise, and shall show 
 s'gns and wonder s, to 
 
346 JESUS OF 
 
 seduce, if it were possible, 
 even the elect. 
 
 But take ye heed: behold, 
 I have foretold you all 
 things. 
 
 Wherefore if they shall 
 say unto you, Behold, He 
 is in the desert; go not 
 forth: behold, He is in the 
 secret chambers; believe it 
 not. 
 
 For as the lightning com- 
 eth out of the east, and 
 shineth even unto the west; 
 so shall also the coining of 
 the Sou of man be. 
 
 For wheresoever the car- 
 cass is, there will the eagles 
 be gathered together. 
 
 Immediately after the 
 tribulation of those days 
 there shall be signs in the 
 sun, and in the moon, and 
 in the stars ; and upon the 
 earth distress of nations, 
 with perplexity ; the sea 
 and the waves roaring ; 
 
 Men's hearts failing them 
 for fear, and for looking 
 
 NAZARETH 
 after those things which are 
 coming on the earth : for 
 the sun shall be darkened, 
 and the moon shall not 
 give her light, and the stars 
 shall fall from heaven, and 
 the powers of the heavens 
 shall be shaken : 
 
 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 in 
 the clouds of heaven with 
 power and great glory. 
 
 And He shall send His 
 angels with a great sound 
 of a trumpet, and they shall 
 gather together His elect 
 from the four winds, from 
 the uttermost part of the 
 earth to the uttermost part 
 of heaven. 
 
 And when these things 
 begin to come to pass, then 
 look up, and lift up your 
 heads ; for your redemption 
 draweth nigh. 
 
Now learn a parable of 
 the fig tree ; When his 
 branch is yet tender, and 
 putteth forth leaves, ye see 
 and know of your own 
 selves that summer is now 
 nigh at hand. 
 
 So likewise ye, when ye 
 shall see all these things 
 come to pass, know ye that 
 the kingdom of God is 
 ni'erh at hand, even at the 
 doors. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 This generation shall not 
 pass away, till all these 
 things be fulfilled. 
 
 Heaven and earth shall 
 pass away; but my words 
 shall not pass away. 
 
 And take heed to your- 
 selves, lest at any time your 
 hearts be overcharged with 
 surfeiting, and drunkenness, 
 and cares of this life, and 
 so that day come upon you 
 unawares. 
 
 For as a snare shall it 
 come on all them that dwell 
 
 PASSETH BY. 347 
 
 on the face of the whole 
 earth. 
 
 Watch ye therefore, and 
 pray always, that ye may 
 be accounted worthy to es- 
 cape all these things that 
 shall come to pass, and to 
 stand before the Son of 
 man. 
 
 But of that day and that 
 hour knoweth no man, no, 
 not the angels which are in 
 heaven, neither the Son, but 
 my Father only. 
 
 Take ye heed, watch and 
 pray ; for ye know not when 
 the time is. 
 
 F A or as the days of Noe 
 were, so shall also the com- 
 ing of the Son of man be. 
 
 F"or as in the days that 
 were before the flood they 
 were eating and drinking, 
 marrying a u d giving in 
 marriage, until the day that 
 Xoe entered into the ark, 
 and knew not until tlie 
 flood came, and took them 
 all awav; so shall also the 
 
34» JESUS OF 
 
 coming of the Son of Man be. 
 
 Then shall two be in the 
 field ; the one shall be taken 
 and the other left. 
 
 Two women shall be grind- 
 ing at the mill; the one 
 shall be taken, and the other 
 left, 
 
 Watch therefore ; for ye 
 know not what hour your 
 L,ord doth come. 
 
 But know this, that if the 
 goodman of the house had 
 known in what watch the 
 thief would come, he would 
 have watched, and would 
 not have suffered his house 
 to be broken up. 
 
 Therefore be ye also 
 ready : for in such an hour 
 as ye think not, the Son of 
 man cometh. 
 
 For the Son of man is as 
 a man taking a far journey, 
 who left his house, and gave 
 authority to his servants, 
 and to every man his work, 
 and commanded the porter 
 to watch. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Who then is a faithful 
 and wise servant , whom 
 his lord hath made ruler 
 over his household, to give 
 them meat in due season ? 
 
 Blessed is that servant, 
 whom his lord when he 
 cometh shall find so doinsf. 
 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 That he shall make him 
 ruler over all his goods. 
 
 But and if that evil ser- 
 vant shall say in his heart, 
 My lord delayeth his com- 
 ing ; and shall begin to 
 smite his fellow servants, 
 and to eat and drink with 
 the drunken ; 
 
 The lord of that servant 
 shall come in a day when 
 he looketh not for him, and 
 in an hour that he is not 
 aware of, and shall cut him 
 asunder, and appoint him 
 his portion with the hypo- 
 crites : there shall be weep- 
 ing and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 Watch ye therefore : for 
 ye know not when the 
 
FASSFTH BY. 
 
 master of the house cometh, 
 at even, or at midnight, or 
 at the cockcrowing, or in 
 the morning : lest coming 
 suddenly, he find you 
 sleeping ! 
 
 And what I say unto you 
 I say unto all, Watch !

 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 THE PARABLE OF THE TEX 
 VIRGINS. 
 
 THEX shall the kingdom 
 of heaven be likened 
 unto ten virgins, which took 
 their lamps, and went forth 
 to meet the bridegroom. 
 
 And five of them were 
 wise, and five were foolish. 
 
 They that were foolish 
 took their lamps, and took 
 no oil with them. 
 
 But the wise took oil in 
 their vessels with their 
 lamps. 
 
 While the bridegroom 
 tarried, they all slumbered 
 and slept. 
 
 And at midnight there 
 was a cry made, Behold, the 
 bridegroom cometh ; go ye 
 out to meet him. 
 
 Then all those virgins 
 arose, and trimmed their 
 lamps. 
 
 And the foolish said unto 
 the wise, Give us of your 
 oil; for our lamps are gone 
 out. 
 
 But the wise answered, 
 saying, Not so ; lest there 
 be not enough for us and 
 you; but go ye rather to 
 them that sell, and buy for 
 yourselves, 
 
 And while they went to 
 buy, the bridegroom came; 
 and they that were ready 
 went in with him to the 
 marriage: and the door was 
 shut, 
 
 Afterward came also the 
 other virgins, saying, Lord, 
 Eord, open to us. 
 
 But he answered and 
 said, Verily I say unto you, 
 I know you not. 
 
35° JESUS OF 
 
 Watch therefore ; for ye 
 know neither the day nor 
 the hour wherein the Son 
 of Man cometh. 
 
 PARABLE OF THE TALK NTS 
 
 • For the kingdom of 
 heaven is as a man travelling 
 into a far country, who 
 called his own servants, 
 and delivered unto them his 
 goods. 
 
 And unto one he gave 
 five talents, to another two, 
 and to another one ; to 
 every man according to his 
 several ability ; and straight- 
 way took his journey. 
 
 Then he that had re- 
 ceived the five talents went 
 and traded with the same, 
 and made them other five 
 talents. 
 
 And likewise he that had 
 received two, he also gained 
 other two. 
 
 But he that had received 
 one went and digged in the 
 earth, and hid his lord's 
 money. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 After a long time the 
 lord of those servants 
 cometh, and reck oneth with 
 them. 
 
 And so he that had i z- 
 ceived five talents came and 
 brought other five talents, 
 saying, Lord, thou deliver- 
 edst unto me five talents : 
 behold, I have gained be- 
 side them five talents more. 
 
 His lord said unto him, 
 Well done, thou good and 
 faithful servant : thou hast 
 been faithful over a few 
 things, I will make thee 
 ruler over many things : 
 enter thou into the joy of 
 thy lord. 
 
 He also that had re- 
 ceived two talents came and 
 said, Lord, thou deliveredst 
 unto me two talents : be- 
 hold, I have gained two 
 other talents beside them. 
 
 His Lord said unto him, 
 Well done, good and faith- 
 ful servant; thou hast been 
 faithful over a few things, I 
 
will make thee ruler over [ 
 many things: enter thou 
 into the joy of thy Lord. 
 
 Then he which had re- 
 ceived the one talent came 
 and said, Lord, I knew thee 
 that thou art a hard man, 
 reaping where thou hast not 
 sown, and gathering where 
 thou hast not strewed: 
 
 And I was afraid, and 
 went and hid my talent in 
 the earth: lo, there thou 
 hast that is thine. 
 
 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 have not strewed: 
 
 Thou oughtest therefore 
 to have put my money to 
 the exchangers, and then 
 at my coming I should have 
 received my o w n w i t h 
 usury. 
 
 Take therefore the talent 
 from him, and give // unto 
 
 PASSF.TH BY. 353 
 
 For unto every one that 
 hath shall be given, and he 
 shall have abundance: but 
 from him that hath not 
 shall be taken away even 
 that which he hath. 
 
 And cast ye the unprofit- 
 able servant into outer dark- 
 ness: there shall be weeping 
 and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 THE LAST JUDGMENT. 
 
 When the Son of man 
 shall come in His glory, 
 and all the holy angels with 
 him, then shall He sit upon 
 the throne of His glory: 
 
 And before Him shall be 
 gathered all nations : and 
 He shall separate them one 
 from another, as a shepherd 
 divideth his sheep from the 
 goats: 
 
 And He shall set the sheep 
 on His right hand, but the 
 goats on the left. 
 
 Then shall the King say 
 unto them on his right 
 
 him which hath ten talents. I hand, Come, ye blessed of 
 
354 JESUS OF 
 
 my Father, inherit the 
 kingdom prepared for you 
 from the foundation of the 
 world • 
 
 For I was a hungered, 
 and ye gave me meat : I 
 was thirsty, and ye gave 
 me drink : I was a stranger, 
 and ye took me in : 
 
 Nake 1, and ye clothed 
 me : I was sick, and ye 
 visited me : I was in prison, 
 and ye came unto me. 
 
 Then shall the righteous 
 answerHim, saying, Lord, 
 when saw we thee a 
 hungered, and fed thee? 
 or thirsty, and gave thee 
 drink ? 
 
 When saw we thee a 
 stranger, and took thee in ? 
 or naked, and clothed thee ? 
 
 Or when saw we thee 
 sick, or in prison, and came 
 unto thee ? 
 
 And the King shall 
 answer and say unto them, 
 Verily I say unto you, 
 Inasmuch as ye have done 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 it unto one of the least of 
 these my brethren, ye have 
 done it unto me. 
 
 Then shall He say also 
 unto them on the left hand, 
 Depart from me, ye cursed, 
 into everlasting fire, pre- 
 pared for the devil and his 
 angels : 
 
 For I was a hungered, 
 and ye gave me no meat ; 
 I was thirsty, and ye gave 
 me no drink : 
 
 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. 
 
 Then shall they also 
 answerHim, saying, L,ord, 
 when saw we thee a 
 hungered, or athirst, or a 
 stranger, or naked, or sick, 
 or in prison, and did not 
 minister unto thee ? 
 
 Then shall h e answer 
 them, saying, Verily I say 
 unto you, Inasmuch as ye 
 did it not to one of the least

 of these, ye did it not

 And these shall go away

 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 THE RULERS CONSPIRE 
 AGAINST CHRIST. 
 
 AND it came to pass, 
 when Jesus had fin- 
 ished all these sayings, He 
 said unto His disciples, 
 
 Ye know that after two 
 days is the feast of the pass- 
 over, and the Sou of man is 
 betrayed to be crucified. 
 
 Then assembled together 
 the chief priests, and the 
 scribes, and the elders of the 
 people, unto the palace of 
 the high priest, who was 
 called Caiaphas, and con- 
 sulted that they might take 
 Jesus by subtilty, and kill 
 Him . 
 
 feast day, lest there be an 
 uproar among the people ; 
 for they feared the people. 
 
 Then entered Satan into 
 Judas surnamed Iscariot. 
 being of the number of the 
 twelve. 
 
 And he went his way, 
 and communed with the 
 chief priests and captains, 
 how he might betray Him 
 unto them; 
 
 And said unto them, 
 What will ye give me, and 
 I will deliver Him unto 
 you ? 
 
 And when they heard if, 
 they were glad, and prom- 
 ised to give him money. 
 And they covenanted with 
 him for thirty pieces of 
 silver. 
 
 And from that time he 
 sought opportunity how he 
 might conveniently betray 
 Him unto them in the ab- 
 sence of the multitude. 
 
 Now the first day of the 
 
 But they said, Not on the feast of unleavened bread, 
 
3*8 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 when they killed the pass- 
 ever, the disciples came to 
 Jesus, saying unto Him, 
 where wilt thou that we 
 prepare for thee to eat the 
 passover ? 
 
 And He sendeth forth 
 two of His disciples, Peter 
 and John, and saith unto 
 them, Go ye into the city : 
 and behold, when ye are 
 entered into the city, there 
 shall a man meet you, 
 bearing a pitcher of water ; 
 follow him into the house 
 where he eutereth in. 
 
 And wheresoever he 
 shall go in, say ye to the 
 goodman of the house, the 
 master saith, my time is at 
 hand ; I will keep the pass- 
 over at thy house. Where 
 is the guest chamber, where 
 I shall eat, the passover 
 with my disciples? 
 
 And he will shew you a 
 large upper room furnished 
 and prepared : there make 
 ready for us. 
 
 And His disciples went 
 forth, and came into the 
 city, and found as He had 
 said unto them : and they 
 made ready the passover. 
 
 CHRIST EATETH THE 
 PASSOVER WITH HIS 
 DISCIPEES. 
 
 Now before the feast of 
 the passover, when Jesus 
 knew that His hour was 
 come that He should depart 
 out of this world unto the 
 Father, having loved His 
 own which were in the 
 world, He loved them unto 
 the end. 
 
 And in the evening He 
 cometh with the twelve, 
 and when the hour was 
 come, He sat down, and the 
 twelve apostles with Him. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 With desire I have desired 
 to eat this nassover with 
 
 A. 
 
 3'ou before I suffer : for I 
 say unto you, I will not 
 any more eat thereof,

 until it be fulfilled in the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 And He took the cup, 
 and gave thanks, and said, 
 Take this, and divide it 
 among yourselves : fori 
 say unto you, I will not 
 drink of the fruit of the 
 vine, until the kingdom of 
 God shall come. 
 
 TEACHETH THEM HUMILITY 
 AND CHARITY. 
 
 And there was a strife 
 among them, which of them 
 should be accounted the 
 greatest. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 The kings of the Gentiles 
 exercise lordship over them ; 
 and they that exercise au- 
 thority upon them are 
 called benefactors. 
 
 But ye shall not be so: 
 but he that is greatest 
 among you, let him be as 
 the younger; and he that is 
 chief, as he that doth serve. 
 
 For whether is greater, 
 
 he that sitteth at meat, or 
 he that serveth ? is not he 
 that sitteth at meat ? but I 
 am among you as he that 
 serveth. 
 
 Ye are they which have 
 continued with me in my 
 temptations. 
 
 And I appoint unto you 
 a kingdom, as my father 
 hath appointed unto me; 
 
 That ye may eat and 
 drink at my table in my 
 kingdom, and sit on thrones 
 judging the twelve tribes of 
 Israel. 
 
 And supper being ended, 
 (the devil having now put 
 into the heart of Judas Isea- 
 riot, Simon's son, to betray 
 Him;) Jesus, knowing that 
 the Father had given all 
 things into His hands, and 
 that He was come from 
 God, and went to God : 
 
 He riseth from supper, 
 and laid aside His garment ; 
 and took a towel, and 
 girded Himself. 
 
,?6 2 JESUS OF 
 
 After that, He poureth 
 water into a basin, and 
 began to wash the dis- 
 ciples' feet, and to wipe 
 them with the towel where- 
 with He was girded. 
 
 Then cometh He to 
 Simon Peter : and Peter 
 saith unto Him, Lord, dost 
 thou wash my feet ? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto him, what I do thou 
 knowest not now ; but thou 
 shalt know hereafter. 
 
 Peter saith unto Him, 
 Thou shalt never wash my 
 feet ! Jesus answered him, 
 If I wash thee not, thou hast 
 no part with me. 
 
 Simon Peter saith unto 
 Him, Lord, not my feet 
 only, but also my hands 
 and my head. 
 
 Jesus saith to him, He 
 that is washed needeth not 
 save to wash his feet, but 
 is clean every whit : and ye 
 are clean, but not all. 
 
 CFor He k n e w who 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 should betray Him ; there 
 fore said He, Ye are not all 
 
 clean.) 
 
 So after He had washed 
 their feet, and had taken 
 His garments, and was set 
 clown again, He said unto 
 them, Know ye what I 
 have done to you ? 
 
 Ye call me master and 
 Lord : and ye say well ; for 
 so I am. 
 
 If I then, your Lord and 
 Master, have washed your 
 feet ; ye also ought to wash 
 one another's feet. 
 
 For I have given you an 
 example, that ye should do 
 as I have done to you. 
 
 Yerily, verily, I say unto 
 you, The servant is not 
 greater than his lord ; 
 neither he that is sent 
 greater than he that sent 
 him. 
 
 If ye know these things 
 happy are ye if ye do them. 
 
 I speak not of you all : I 
 know whom I have chosen :

 but that the Scripture may

 Now I tell you before it 
 come, that, when it is come 
 to pass, ye may believe that 
 I am He. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you. He that receiveth 
 whomsoever I send, receiv- 
 eth me; and he that receiv- 
 eth me, receiveth Him that 
 sent me.

 THE BETRAYER. 
 
 When Jesus had thus 
 said, He was troubled in 
 spirit, and testified, and 
 said, Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, that one of you 
 which eateth with me shall 
 betray me! behold, the hand 
 of him that betra}'eth me is 
 with me on the table. 
 
 And they began to in- 
 quire a m o 11 g themselves, 
 which of them it was that 
 
 should do this thing, and 
 were exceedingly sorrowful, 
 and began every one of 
 them to say unto Him, one 
 by one, Lord, is it I ? 
 
 And He answered and 
 said, One of the twelve that 
 dippeth his hand with me in 
 the dish, the same shall be- 
 tray me. 
 
 The Son of man indeed 
 goeth, as it was determined; 
 and as it is written of 
 Him, but woe unto that 
 mj«i by whom the Son of 
 man is betrayed ! it had 
 been good for that man if 
 he had never been born. 
 
 Then the disciples looked 
 one on another, doubting of 
 whom He spake. 
 
 Now there was leaning on 
 Jesus' bosom one of His 
 disciples, whom Jesus loved. 
 
 Simon Peter therefore 
 beckoned to him, that he 
 should ask who it should be 
 of whom He spake. 
 
 He then lying on Jesus' 
 
366 JESUS OF 
 
 breast, saith unto Him, 
 L,ord, who is it? 
 
 Jesus answered, He it is, 
 to whom I shall give a sop, 
 when I have dipped */. And 
 when He had dipped the 
 sop, He gave it to Judas Is- 
 eariot, the son of Simon. 
 
 Then Judas, which be- 
 trayed Him, answered and 
 said, Master, is it I ? He 
 said unto him, Thou hast 
 said. 
 
 And after the sop, Satan 
 entered into him. Then 
 said Jesus unto him, That 
 thou doest, do quickly. 
 
 Now no man at the table 
 knew for what intent He 
 spake this unto him. 
 
 For some of them thought, 
 because Judas had the bag, 
 that Jesus had said unto 
 him, Buy those things that 
 we have need of against the 
 feast ; or, that he should 
 give something to the 
 poor. 
 
 He then having received 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 the sop, went immediately 
 out ; and it was night. 
 
 Therefore, when he was 
 gone out, Jesus said, Now 
 is the Sou of man glorified, 
 and God is glorified in 
 Him. 
 
 If God be glorified in 
 Him, God shall also glorify 
 Him in Himself, and shall 
 straightway glorify Him. 
 
 Little children, yet a little 
 while I am with you. Ye 
 shall seek me; and as I said 
 unto the Jews, Whitirer I 
 go, ye cannot come; so now 
 I say to you. 
 
 A new commandment I 
 give unto you, That ye love 
 one another; as I have loved 
 you, that ye also love one 
 another. 
 
 By this shall all men know 
 that ye are my disciples, if 
 ye have love one to another. 
 
 Simon Peter said unto 
 Him, Lord, whither goest 
 thou ? Jesus answered him, 
 Whither I go, thou canst 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 not follow me now; but thou 
 
 shalt follow me afterwards. 
 
 Peter said unto H i m 
 
 Lord, why cannot I follow 
 
 367 
 
 Thee, now? I will lay down 
 my life for thy sake. 
 
 Jesus answered him, Wilt 
 thou lay down thy life for 
 my sake? Verily, verily, I 
 say unto thee, The cock 
 shall not crow, till thou hast, 
 denied me thrice. 
 
 "THIS DO IX REMEMBRANCE 
 
 OF ME" 
 
 And as they were eating, 
 Jesus took bread, and 
 blessed it, and brake it, and 
 gave it to the disciples, and 
 said, Take, eat ; this is my 
 body, which is given for 
 you : this do in remembrance 
 of me. 
 
 Likewise also He took 
 the cup after supper, and 
 when He had given thanks, 
 He gave it to them : say- 
 ing, drink ye all of it. And 
 they all drank of it. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 this is my blood of the new 
 testament, which is shed for 
 you and for many, for the 
 remission of sins ; this do 
 ye, as often as ye drink it, 
 in remembrance of me. 
 
 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 XXXIX. 
 
 CHRIST COMFORTETH HIS 
 DISCIPLES WITH Till'. 
 HOPE OF HEAVEN. 
 
 ET not your heart be 
 troubled : ye believe 
 in God, believe also in me. 
 
 In my Father's house are 
 many mansions : if it were 
 not so, I would have told 
 you. I go to prepare a 
 place for you. 
 
 And if I go and prepare 
 a place for you, I will come 
 
 L 
 
368 JESUS OF 
 
 again and receive you unto 
 myself ; that where I am, 
 there ye may be also. 
 
 And whither I go ye 
 know, and the way ye 
 know. 
 
 Thomas saith unto Him. 
 Lord, we know not whither 
 thou goest; and how can we 
 know the way ? 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, I 
 am the way, the truth, and 
 the life: no man cometh 
 unto the Father but by me. 
 
 If ye had known me, ye 
 should have known my 
 Father also : and from 
 henceforth ye know Him 
 and have seen Him. 
 
 Philip saith unto Him, 
 L,ord, shew us the Father 
 and it sufficeth us. 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, 
 Have I been so long with 
 you, and yet hast thou not 
 known me, Philip ? he that 
 hath seen me hath seen the 
 Father ; and how sayeth thou 
 (hen, Shew us the Father? 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Believest thou not that I 
 am in the Father, and the 
 Father in me? the words 
 that I speak unto you I 
 speak not of myself: but the 
 Father that dwelleth in me, 
 He doeth the works. 
 
 Believe me that I am in 
 the Father, and the Father 
 in me: or else believe me for 
 the very works' sake. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 you, He that believeth on 
 me, the works that I do 
 shall he do also; and 
 greater works than these 
 shall he do ; because I go 
 unto my Father. 
 
 And whatsoever ye shall 
 ask in my name, that will I 
 do, that the Father may be 
 glorified in the Son. 
 
 If ye shall ask anything 
 in my name, I will do //. 
 
 % If ye love me, keep my 
 commandments. 
 
 And I will pray the 
 Father, and He shall give 
 
b-

 The Way, the Truth, the Life. 
 
PASSETH 
 
 you another Comforter, that 
 He may abide with you for- 
 ever; 
 
 Even the Spirit of truth ; 
 whom the world cannot re- 
 ceive, because it seetli Him 
 not, neither knoweth Him : 
 but ye know Him ; for He 
 dwelleth with you, and 
 shall be in you. 
 
 I will not leave you com- 
 fortless : I will come to 
 you. 
 
 Yet a little while, and the 
 world s e e t h me no more ; 
 but ye see me : because I 
 live, ye shall live also. 
 
 At that day ye shall know 
 that I am in my Father, and 
 ye in me, and I in you. 
 He that hath my command- 
 ments, 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 
 manifest myself to him. 
 
 Judas saith unto him, not 
 Iscariot, Lord, how is it that 
 
 BY. 
 
 37' 
 
 thou wilt manifest thyself 
 unto us, and not unto the 
 world ? 
 
 Jesus answered and said 
 unto him, If a man love me, 
 he will keep my words : 
 and my Father will love 
 him, and we will come unto 
 him, and make our abode 
 with him. 
 
 He that loveth me not 
 keepeth not my sayings : 
 and the word which ye hear 
 is not mine, but the Father's 
 which sent me. 
 
 These things have I 
 spoken unto you, being yet 
 present with you. 
 
 But the Comforter, which 
 is the Holy Ghost, whom 
 the Father will send in my 
 name, He shall teach you 
 all things, and bring all 
 things to your remember- 
 auce, whatsoever I have said 
 unto you. 
 
 Peace I leave with you, 
 my peace I give unto you : 
 not as the world giveth, give 
 
37 2 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 I unto you. L,et not your 
 heart be troubled, neither 
 let it be afraid. 
 
 Ye have heard how I said 
 unto you, I go away, and 
 come again unto you. If 
 ye loved me, ye would re- 
 joice, because I said, I go 
 unto the Father : for my 
 Father is greater than I. 
 
 And now I have told you 
 before it come to pass, that 
 when it is come to pass, ye 
 might believe. 
 
 Hereafter I will not talk 
 much with you : for the 
 prince of this w o r 1 d com- 
 eth and hath nothing in 
 me. 
 
 But that the world may- 
 know that I love the 
 Father ; and as the Father 
 gave me commandment, 
 even so I do. Arise, let us 
 go hence. 
 
 THE PARABLE OF THE 
 VINE. 
 
 I am the true vine, and 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 my Father is the husband- 
 man. 
 
 Every branch in me that 
 beareth not fruit He taketh 
 away: and every bra?ich that 
 beareth fruit He purgeth it, 
 that it may bring forth more 
 fruit. 
 
 Now ye are clean through 
 the word which I have 
 spoken unto you. 
 
 Abide with me, and I in 
 you. As the branch can- 
 not bear fruit of itself, ex- 
 cept it abide in the vine ; 
 no more can ye, except ye 
 abide in me. 
 
 I am the vine, ye are the 
 branches. He that abideth 
 in me and I in him, the 
 same bringeth forth much 
 fruit ; for without me ye 
 can do nothing. 
 
 If a man abide not in me, 
 he is cast forth as a branch, 
 and is withered ; and men 
 gather them and cast them 
 into the fire, and they are 
 burned. 
 
PASSET 
 
 If ye abide in me, and 
 my words in you, ye shall 
 ask what ye will, and it 
 shall be done unto yon. 
 
 Herein is my Father 
 glorified, that ye bear much 
 fruit ; so shall ye be my 
 disciples. 
 
 As the Father hath loved 
 me, so have I loved you : 
 continue ye in my love. 
 
 If ye keep my command- 
 ments, ye shall abide in my 
 love ; even as I have kept 
 my Father's command- 
 ments, and abide in His 
 love. 
 
 These things have I 
 spoken unto you, that my 
 joy might remain in you, 
 and that your joy might be 
 full. 
 
 This is my command- 
 ment, That ye love one 
 another, as I have loved 
 you. 
 
 Greater love hath no man 
 than this, that a man lay 
 down his life for his friends. 
 
 H BY. 373 
 
 Ye are my friends, if ye 
 do whatsoever I command 
 you. 
 
 Henceforth I call ye not 
 servants; for the servant 
 knoweth not what his lord 
 doeth: but I have called 
 you friends; for all things 
 that I have heard of my 
 Father I have made known 
 unto you. 
 
 Ye have not chosen me, 
 but I have chosen you and 
 ordained you, that ye 
 should go and bring forth 
 fruit, and thai your fruit 
 should remain ; that what- 
 soever ye shall ask of the 
 Father in my name, He may 
 give it you. 
 
 These things I command 
 you, that ye love one an- 
 other. 
 
 If the world hate you, ye 
 know that it hated me be- 
 fore it hated you. 
 
 If ye were of the world, 
 the world would love his 
 own ; but because ye are 
 
374 JESUS OF 
 
 not of the world, but I have 
 chosen you out of the world , 
 therefore the world hateth 
 you. 
 
 Remember the word that 
 I said unto you. The ser- 
 vant is not greater than his 
 lord. If they have perse- 
 cuted me, they will also 
 persecute you ; if they have 
 kept my saying, they will 
 keep 3*ours also. 
 
 But all these things will 
 they do unto you for my 
 name's sake, because they 
 know not Him that sent 
 me. 
 
 If I had not come and 
 spoken unto them, they had 
 not had sin : but now they 
 have no cloak for their sin. 
 
 He that hateth me hateth 
 my Father also. 
 
 If I had not done among 
 them the works which none 
 other man did, they had not 
 had sin : but now have they 
 both seen and hated both 
 me and my Father. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 But this cometh to pass, 
 that the word might be ful- 
 filled that is written in their 
 law, The}- hated me without 
 a cause. 
 
 But when the Comforter 
 is come, whom I will send 
 unto you from the Father, 
 even the Spirit of truth, 
 which proceedeth from the 
 Father, He shall testify of 
 me : 
 
 And ye also shall bear 
 witness, because ye have 
 been with me from the be- 
 
 ginning. 
 
 CHRIST PROMISES THE HOLY 
 GHOST AS A COMFORTER 
 AND GUIDE. 
 
 These things have I 
 spoken unto you, that ye 
 should not be offended. 
 
 They shall put you out of 
 the synagogues : yea, the 
 time cometh, that whoso- 
 ever killeth you will think 
 he doeth God service. 
 
 And these things will 
 
they do unto you, because 
 they have not known the 
 Father, nor me. 
 
 But these things have I 
 told you, that when the 
 time shall come, ye may re- 
 member that I told you of 
 them. And these things I 
 said not unto you at the 
 beginning, because I was 
 with you. 
 
 But now I go my way to 
 Him that sent me ; and 
 none of you asketh me, 
 Whither goest thou ? 
 
 But because I have said 
 these things unto you, sor- 
 row hath filled your heart. 
 
 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 depart, 
 I will send Him unto you. 
 
 And when He is come 
 He will reprove the world 
 of sin, and of righteous- 
 ness, and of judgment : 
 
 PASSETH BY. 37« 
 
 Of sin, because they be- 
 lieve not on me ; 
 
 Of righteousness, because 
 I go to my Father, and ye 
 see me no more ; 
 
 Of iudgment, because 
 the prince of this world is 
 judged. 
 
 I have yet many things 
 to say unto you, but ye 
 cannot bear them now. 
 
 Howbeit when He, the 
 Spirit of truth, is come, He 
 will guide you into all 
 truth : for He shall not 
 speak of Himself ; but 
 whatsoever He shall hear, 
 that shall He speak : and 
 He wilt shew you things to 
 come. 
 
 He shall glorify me : for 
 He shall receive of mine, 
 and shall shew it unto you. 
 
 All things that the 
 Father hath are mine : 
 therefore said I, that He 
 shall take of mine, and 
 shall shew /Vunto you. 
 
 A little while and ye shall 
 
376 JESUS OF 
 
 not see me : and again a 
 little while, and ye shall see 
 me, because I go to the 
 Father. 
 
 Then said some of His 
 disciples among themselves, 
 What is this that He saith 
 unto us, A little while and 
 ye shall not see me : and 
 again a little while, and ye 
 shall see me : and, Because 
 I go to the Father. 
 
 They said therefore, What 
 is this that He saith, A 
 little while ? we cannot tell 
 what He saith. 
 
 Now Jesus knew that 
 the>- were desirous to ask 
 Him, and said unto them, 
 Do y o u inquire among 
 yourselves of that I said, 
 A little while and ye shall 
 not see me : and again a 
 little while, and ye shall 
 see me ? 
 
 Verily, Verily, I say unto 
 you, That ye shall weep and 
 lament, but the world shall 
 rejoice ; and ye shall be 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 sorrowful, but your sorrow 
 shall be turned into joy. 
 
 A woman when she is in 
 travail hath sorrow, but as 
 soon as she is delivered of 
 the child, she remembereth 
 no more the anguish for joy 
 that a man is born into the 
 world. 
 
 And ye now therefore have 
 sorrow : but I will see you 
 again, and your heart shall 
 rejoice, and your joy no 
 man taketh from you. 
 
 And in that day ye shall 
 ask me nothing. Verily, 
 verily, I say unto you, 
 Whatsoever ye shall ask the 
 Father in my name He will 
 give it you. 
 
 Hitherto have ye asked 
 nothing in my name : ask 
 and ye shall receive, that 
 your joy may be full. 
 
 These things have I 
 spoken unto you in pro- 
 verbs: but the time cometh, 
 when I shall no more speak 
 unto you in proverbs, but I 
 
a* 
 n 
 
 c 
 n 
 
 e 
 
 c 
 
 c

PASS! 
 
 shall shew you plainly of 
 
 the Father. 
 
 At that day ye shall ask 
 in my name: and I say unto 
 you, that I will pray the 
 Father for you : 
 
 For the Father himself 
 loveth you, because ye have 
 loved me, and have believed 
 that I came out from God. 
 
 I came forth from the 
 Father, and come into the 
 world : again, I leave the 
 world, and go to the 
 Father. 
 
 His disciples said unto 
 him, L<>, now speakest thou 
 plainly, and speakest no 
 proverb. 
 
 Xow are we sure that 
 thou knowest all things, 
 and needest not that any 
 man should ask thee : by 
 this we believe that thou 
 earnest forth from God. 
 
 Jesus answered them, Do 
 ye now believe ? 
 
 Behold, the hour cometh, 
 yea, is now come, that ye 
 
 TH BY. 379 
 
 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. 
 
 These things I have 
 spoken unto you, that in 
 me ye might have peace. 
 In the world ye shall have 
 tribulation : but be of good 
 cheer ; I have overcome the 
 world. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 CHRIST I'RAVKTII FOR ALL 
 WHO SHALL RELIEVE <)X 
 HIM IX THE AGES TO 
 COME. 
 
 THESK words spake 
 Jesus and lifted up 
 His eyes to heaven, and 
 said, Father, the hour is 
 come ; glorify thy Son, that 
 thy Sou may glorify thee. 
 
 As thou hast given Him 
 power over all flesh, that 
 He should give eternal life 
 
380 JESUS OF 
 
 to as many as thou hast 
 given Him. 
 
 And this is life eternal, 
 that they might know thee 
 the only true God, and Jesus 
 Christ, whom thou hast 
 sent. 
 
 I have glorified thee on 
 the earth : I have finished 
 the work which thou gavest 
 me to do. 
 
 And now, O Father, 
 glorify thou me with thine 
 own self with the glory 
 which I had with thee 
 before the world was. 
 
 I have manifested thy 
 name unto the men which 
 thou gavest me out of the 
 world : thine they were, 
 and thou gavest them to 
 me ; and they have kept 
 thy word. 
 
 Now they have known 
 that all things whatsoever 
 thou hast given me are of 
 thee. 
 
 For I have given unto 
 them the words which thou | 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 gavest me ; and they have 
 received them, and have 
 known surely that I came 
 out from thee, and they 
 have believed that thou 
 didst send me. 
 
 I pray for them : I pray 
 not for the world, but for 
 them which thou hast given 
 me ; for they are thine. 
 
 And all mine are thine, 
 and thine are mine, and I 
 am glorified in them. 
 
 And now I am no more 
 in thee world, but these are 
 in the world, and I come to 
 thee. Holy Father, keep 
 through thine own name 
 those whom thou hast given 
 me, that they may be one, 
 as we are. 
 
 While I was with them 
 in the world, I kept them 
 in thy name : those that 
 thou gavest me I have 
 kept, and none of them is 
 lost, but the son of perdi- 
 tion ; that the Scripture 
 might be fulfilled. 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 And now come I to thee; 
 and these things I speak in 
 the world, that they might 
 have my joy fulfilled in 
 themselves. 
 
 I have given them tin- 
 word ; and the world hath 
 hated them, because they 
 are not of the world, even 
 as I am not of the world. 
 
 I pray not that thou 
 shouldest take them out of 
 the world, but that thou 
 shouldest keep them from 
 the evil. 
 
 They are not of the 
 world, even as I am not of 
 the world. 
 
 Sanctify them through 
 thy truth ; thy word is 
 truth. 
 
 As thou hast sent me 
 into the vorld, even so have 
 I also sent them into the 
 world. 
 
 And for their sakes I 
 sanctify myself, that they 
 also might be sanctified 
 through the truth. 
 
 381 
 
 Neither pray I for these 
 alone, but for them also 
 which shall believe on me 
 through their word; 
 
 That they all may be 
 one ; as thou, Father, art in 
 me, and I in thee, that they 
 also may be one in us : that 
 the world may believe that 
 thou hast sent me. 
 
 And the glory which 
 thou gavest me I have 
 given them ; that they may 
 be one, even as we are one: 
 
 I in them, and thou in 
 me, that they may be made 
 perfect in one ; and that the 
 world may know that thou 
 hast sent me, a n d hast 
 loved them, as thou hast 
 loved me. 
 
 Father, I will that they 
 also, whom thou hast given 
 me, be with me where I am; 
 that they may behold my 
 glory, which thou hast 
 given me : for thou lovedst 
 me before the foundation of 
 the world. 
 
382 JESUS OF 
 
 O righteous Father, the 
 world hath not known thee: 
 but I have known thee, and 
 these have known that thou 
 hast sent me. 
 
 And I have declared unto 
 them thy name, and will 
 declare it; that the love 
 wherewith thou hast loved 
 me may be in them and I 
 in them. 
 
 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 HIS BETRAYAL. 
 
 WHEN Jesus had 
 spoken these words, 
 and when the}- had sung a 
 hymn, He went forth, as 
 he was wont, with His dis- 
 ciples over the brook Ce- 
 dron . 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them, All ye shall be of- 
 fended because of me this 
 night : for it is written, " I 
 will smite the shepherd, and 
 the sheep of the flock shall 
 be scattered abroad. ' ' But 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 after I am risen again 1 
 will go before you into Gali- 
 lee. 
 
 Peter answered and said 
 unto Him, Though all men 
 shall be offended because of 
 thee, yet will I never be 
 offended. 
 
 And the Lord said, Si- 
 mon, Simon, behold Satan 
 hath desired to have you, 
 that he may sift you as 
 wheat : but I prayed for 
 thee that thy faith fail not: 
 and when thou are con- 
 verted, strengthen thy 
 brethren. 
 
 And he said unto Him, 
 Eord, I am ready to go 
 with thee, both into prison 
 and to death. 
 
 And He said, I tell thee, 
 Peter, That this day, even 
 in this night, before the 
 cock crow twice, thou shalt 
 thrice deny that thou kuow- 
 est me. 
 
 But he spoke the more 
 vehemently, If I should die 
 
PASSETI BY. 
 
 with thee, I will not deny 
 thee in anywise. Likewise 
 also said all the disciples. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 When I sent yon without 
 purse, and scrip, and shoes, 
 lacked ye anything ? And 
 they said, Nothing. 
 
 Then said He unto them, 
 But now, he that hath a 
 purse, let him take it, and 
 likewise his scrip : and he 
 that hath no sword, let him 
 sell his garment, and buy 
 one. 
 
 For I .say unto you, that 
 this that is written must 
 yet be accomplished in me, 
 ' ' And He was reckoned 
 among the transgressors : ' 
 for the things concerning 
 me have an end. 
 
 And they said, Lord, be- 
 hold, here are two swords. 
 And He said unto them, It 
 is enough. 
 
 The cometh Jesus with 
 them unto the mount of 
 Olives, where was a garden. 
 
 38 5 
 called Gethsemane : into 
 the which He entered, and 
 His disciples. 
 
 (And Judas also, which 
 betrayed Him, knew the 
 place : for Jesus ofttimes 
 resorted thither with His 
 disciples. ) 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Pray that ye enter not into 
 temptation. Sit ye here, 
 while I go and pray yonder. 
 
 And He took with Him, 
 Peter and the two sons of 
 Zebedee, James and John, 
 and began to be sore 
 amazed, and to be very 
 heavy ; 
 
 Then saith He unto them, 
 My soul is exceeding sor- 
 rowful, even unto death : 
 tarry ye here and watch 
 with me. 
 
 And He went forward a 
 little further, and was with- 
 drawn from them about a 
 stone's cast, and kneeled 
 down, and fell on His face 
 on the ground, and prayed 
 
^8 4 JESUS OF 
 
 that, if it were possible, the 
 hour might pass from Him. 
 
 A n d He s a i d, Abba, 
 Father, all things are pos- 
 sible unto thee ; O my 
 Father, if it be possible, if 
 thou be willing, remove this 
 cup from me : nevertheless, 
 not my will, but thine, be 
 done. 
 
 And there appeared an 
 angel unto Him from 
 heaven, strengthening Him. 
 
 And being in an agony, 
 He prayed more earnestly : 
 and His sweat was as it were 
 great drops of blood falling 
 down to the ground. 
 
 And He rose up from 
 prayer, and cometh unto 
 the disciples, and fiudeth 
 them sleeping from sorrow ; 
 and saith unto them, Win- 
 sleep ye? rise and pray, lest 
 ye enter into temptation. 
 
 And He saith unto Peter, 
 Simon, sleepest thou? could- 
 est not thou watch with me 
 one hour ? 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 Watch and pray, that ye 
 enter not into temptation : 
 the spirit indeed is willing, 
 but the flesh is weak. 
 
 He went away again the 
 second time, and prayed, 
 and spake the same words, 
 saying, O my Father, if 
 this cup may not pass away 
 from me, except I drink it, 
 thy will be done. 
 
 And He came and found 
 them asleep again : (for 
 their eyes were heavy,) 
 neither wist they what to 
 answer Him. 
 
 And He left them, and 
 went away again, and 
 prayed the third time, say- 
 ing the same words. 
 
 Then cometh He to His 
 disciples the third time, and 
 saith unto them, Sleep on 
 now, and takejw/'r rest: it 
 is enough; behold, the hour 
 is at hand, and the Son of 
 man is betrayed into the 
 hands of sinners. 
 
 Rise, let us be going : be- 
 
' O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, 
 
 thy will be done." 
 
And Judas also which betrayed Him knew the plage. 
 
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me 
 
'Judas, betrayest thou the Sun of man with a kiss? 
 
PASSFTH BY. 
 
 39' 
 
 hold, he that betray eth me 
 is at hand. 
 
 And immediately, while 
 He yet spake, lo, Judas, 
 one of the twelve, having 
 received a band of men and 
 officers from the chief priests 
 and Pharisee s, cometh 
 thither w i t h lanterns and 
 torches and weapons; 
 
 And with him a great 
 multitude with swords and 
 staves, from the chief 
 priests and the scribes and 
 the elders of the people. 
 
 Now he that betrayed 
 Him had given them a 
 token, saying, Whomsoever 
 I shall kiss, that same is 
 He ; take Him, hold Him 
 fast, and lead Him away 
 safely. 
 
 And as soon as he was 
 come, he went before them, 
 and drew near unto Jesus, 
 and saith, Hail, master, 
 and kissed Him. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 Friend, wherefore art thou 
 
 come? Judas, betrayeth 
 thou the Son of man with 
 a kiss? 
 
 Then Jesus, knowing all 
 things that should come 
 upon Him, went forth and 
 said unto them, Whom seek 
 ye? 
 
 They answered Him, Je- 
 sus of Nazareth. Jesus 
 saith unto them, I am He. 
 
 As soon then as He had 
 said unto them, I am He, 
 they went backward and 
 fell to the ground. 
 
 Then asked He them 
 again, Whom seek ye? 
 
 And they said, Jesus of 
 Nazareth. 
 
 Jesus answered, I have 
 told you that I am He: if 
 therefore ye seek me, let 
 these go their way : (that 
 the saying might be ful- 
 filled which He spake, 
 Of the m which thou 
 g a v e s t me have I lost 
 none.) 
 
 Then came they and laid 
 
392 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 hands on Jesus, and took 
 Him. 
 
 When they which were 
 about Him saw what would 
 follow, they said unto Him, 
 Lord, shall we smite with 
 the sword ? 
 
 Then Simon Peter, hav- 
 ing a sword, drew it, and 
 smote a servant of the high 
 priest, and cut off his right 
 ear. The servant's name 
 was Malchus. 
 
 And Jesus answered and 
 said, Suffer ye thus far. 
 And He touched his ear, 
 and healed him. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 Peter, Put up thy sword 
 into the sheath : for all 
 they that take the sword 
 shall perish with the sword. 
 The cup which my Father 
 hath given me, shall I not 
 drink it? 
 
 Thinkest thou that I 
 cannot now pray to my 
 Father, and He shall 
 presently give me more 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 than twelve legions of an- 
 gels ? 
 
 But how then shall the 
 Scriptures be fulfilled, that 
 thus it must be ? 
 
 In that same hour Jesus 
 said unto the chief priests, 
 and captains of the temple, 
 and the elders, which were 
 come to Him, Be ye come 
 out, as against a thief, with 
 swords and staves to take 
 me ? 
 
 When I was daily with 
 you in the temple, ye 
 stretched forth no hands 
 against me : but this is your 
 hour, and the power of 
 darkness. 
 
 Then all the disciples for- 
 sook Him, and fled. 
 
 And there followed Him 
 a certain young man, hav- 
 ing a linen cloth cast about 
 his naked body; and the 
 young men laid hold on 
 him : and he left the linen 
 I cloth, and fled from them 
 I naked. 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 Then the band and the 
 captain and officers of the 
 Jews, led Jesus away to 
 Annas first ; for he was 
 father-in-law to Caiaphas, 
 which was the high priest 
 that same year. 
 
 Annas then asked Jesus 
 of His disciples, and of His 
 doctrine. 
 
 Jesus answered him, I 
 spake openly to the world ; 
 I ever taught in the syna- 
 gogue, and in the temple, 
 whither the Jews always re- 
 sort ; and in secret have I 
 said nothing. 
 
 Why askest thou me ? 
 ask them which heard me, 
 what I have said unto them : 
 behold, they know wdiat I 
 said. 
 
 And when He had thus 
 spoken, one of the officers 
 which stood by, struck Jesus 
 with the palm of his hand, 
 saying, Answerest thou the 
 high priest so ? 
 
 Jesus answered him, If I 
 
 393 
 
 have spoken evil, bear 
 witness of the evil ; but 
 if well, why smitest thou 
 me ? 
 
 Then took they Him, and 
 led Him away bound, unto 
 Caiaphas the high priest, 
 and brought Him into the 
 high priest's house, where 
 were assembled all the chief 
 priests and the elders and 
 the scribes. 
 
 (Now Caiaphas was he, 
 which gave counsel to the 
 Jews, that it was expedient 
 that one man should die for 
 the people. ) 
 
 And. Peter followed afar 
 off, and so did another dis- 
 ciple : that disciple was 
 known unto the high priest, 
 and went in with Jesus into 
 i h e p a 1 a c e of the high 
 priest. 
 
 But Peter stood at the door 
 without. Then went out 
 that other disciple, which 
 w as kno w n unto the 
 high priest, and spake 
 
3Q4 JESUS OF 
 
 unto her that kept the 
 door, and brought in Peter. 
 
 And the servants and offi- 
 cers stood there, who had 
 made a fire of coals in the 
 midst of the hall, for it was 
 cold ; and they warmed 
 themselves : and when they 
 were set down together, 
 Peter sat down among them 
 and warmed himself. 
 
 Now the chief priests and 
 elders, and all the council, 
 sought false witness against 
 Jesus that they might put 
 Him to death ; but found 
 none ; yea, though many 
 false witnesses came, yet 
 their witness agreed not to- 
 gether. 
 
 At the last came two false 
 witnesses, and bare false 
 witness against Him, saying 
 
 We heard Him say, I 
 will destroy this temple that 
 is made with hands, and 
 within three days I will 
 build another made with- 
 out hands. • 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 But neither so did their 
 witness agree together. 
 
 And the high priest arose 
 and stood up in the midst, 
 and asked Jesus, saying, 
 Answerest thou nothing ? 
 what is it which these wit- 
 ness against thee ? 
 
 But Jesus held His peace 
 and answered nothing. 
 Again the high priest an- 
 swered and said unto Him, 
 I adjure thee by the living 
 God, that thou tell us 
 whether thou be the Christ, 
 the Son of God. 
 
 And Jesus said, I am : 
 and ye shall see the Son 
 of man sitting on the 
 right hand of power, and 
 coming in the clouds of 
 heaven. 
 
 Then the high priest rent 
 his clothes, saying, He hath 
 spoken blasphemy ! what 
 further need have we of 
 witnesses ? behold now ye 
 have heard His blasphemy: 
 what think ye ? And they 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 395 
 
 all condemned Him to be 
 guilty of death. 
 
 Then did they spit in His 
 face, and buffeted Him : 
 and the servants did strike 
 Him with the palms of their 
 hands ; 
 
 And the men that held 
 Jesus mocked Him, and 
 smote Him ; and when they 
 had blindfolded Him, they 
 struck Him on the face, 
 saying, Prophesy unto us, 
 thou Christ, Who is he that 
 smote thee ? 
 
 And many other things 
 blasphemously spake they 
 against Him. 
 
 •f[ Now Peter sat with the 
 servants, to see the end, 
 and warmed himself at the 
 fire. 
 
 And the damsel that kept 
 the door, (one of the maids 
 of the high priest,) beheld 
 him as he sat by the fire, 
 and earnestly looked upon 
 him, and said, Art not thou 
 
 also one of this man's dis- 
 ciples ? Thou also wast with 
 Jesus of Galilee. 
 
 But he denied before them 
 all, saying, Woman, I know 
 Him not ; neither under- 
 stand I what thou sayest. 
 And he went out into the 
 porch ; and the cock crew. 
 
 And after a little while 
 another maid saw him, and 
 began to say to them that 
 stood by, This is one of 
 them ; this fellow was also 
 with Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 They said therefore unto 
 him, Art not thou also one 
 of His disciples ? 
 
 And again he denied with 
 an oath, I do not know the 
 man. 
 
 And about tlfe space of 
 one hour after, another con- 
 fidently affirmed, saying, Of 
 a truth this fellow also was 
 with Him ; for he is a Gali- 
 lean. 
 
 And they that stood by 
 said again to Peter, Surely 
 
396 JESUS OF 
 
 thou art one of the m : 
 for thou art a Galilean, 
 and thy speech betrayeth 
 thee. 
 
 One of the servants of 
 the high priest, being his 
 kinsman whose ear Peter 
 cut off, saith, Did not I see 
 thee in the garden with 
 Him? 
 
 Then began he to curse 
 and to swear, saying, Man, 
 I know not what thou sa3 r - 
 est ; I kno w not this 
 man of whom ye speak. 
 And immediately, w h i 1 e 
 he yet spake, the cock 
 crew. 
 
 And the Dord turned, and 
 looked upon Peter. And 
 Peter r e m e m here d the 
 word of the Lord, how 
 He had said unto him, 
 Before the cock crow 
 twice, thou shalt deny me 
 thrice. 
 
 And Peter went out, and 
 wept bitterly. 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 CHRIST IS DELIVERED TO 
 PILATE. 
 
 AND straightway in the 
 morning, as soon as 
 it was day, the chief priests 
 held a consultation with the 
 elders of the people, and the 
 scribes, and the whole coun- 
 cil, and took counsel against 
 Jesus to put Him to death. 
 And they led Him into 
 their council, saying, 
 
 Art thou the Christ ? tell 
 us. And He said unto 
 them, If I tell you, ye will 
 not believe : and if I also 
 ask vou, ye will not answer 
 me, nor let me go. 
 
 Hereafter shall the Son 
 of man sit on the right 
 hand of the power of God. 
 
 Then said they all. Art 
 thou the Sou of God ? And 
 He said unto them, Ye say 
 that I am. 
 
 And they said, What 
 need we any further wit- 
 
And Peter went out and wept bitterly. 
 
Jesus brought before Pilate. 
 
PASS El 
 
 nesses? for we ourselves 
 have heard of His own 
 mouth. 
 
 And the whole multitude 
 of them arose, and when 
 they had bound Jesus, they 
 led Him unto the hall of 
 judgment, a n d delivered 
 Him to Pontius Pilate the 
 governor. 
 
 Then Judas, which had 
 betrayed Him, when he saw 
 that He was condemned, re- 
 pented himself, and brought 
 again the thirty pieces of 
 silver to the chief priests 
 and elders, saying, I have 
 sinned in that I have be- 
 trayed the innocent blood. 
 
 And they said, What is 
 that to ns : see thou to that. 
 
 JUDAS HANGKTH HIMSKLF. 
 
 And he cast down the 
 pieces of silver in the tem- 
 ple, and departed, and went 
 and hanged himself. 
 
 And the chief priests took 
 the silver pieces, and said, 
 
 H BY. 399 
 
 It is not lawful for to put 
 them into the treasury, be- 
 cause it is the price of blood. 
 
 And they took counsel, 
 and bought with them the 
 potter's field, to bury 
 strangers in. Wherefore 
 that field was called, The 
 field of blood, unto this 
 day. 
 
 Then was fulfilled that 
 wh i c h w a s spoken by 
 Jeremy the prophet, say- 
 ing, "And they took the 
 thirty pieces of silver, the 
 price of Him that was 
 valued, whom they of the 
 children of Israel did value; 
 and gave them for the pot- 
 ter's field, as the Lord ap- 
 pointed me." 
 
 And Jesus stood before 
 the governor ; and it was 
 early ; and the Jews them- 
 selves went not into the 
 judgment hall, lest they 
 should be defiled ; but that 
 they might eat the pass- 
 over. 
 
4oo JESUS OF 
 
 Pilate then went out unto 
 them, and said, What accu- 
 sation bring ye against this 
 man ? 
 
 They answered and said 
 unto him, If He were not 
 a malefactor, we would not 
 have delivered Him up unto 
 thee. 
 
 Then said Pilate unto 
 them, Take ye Him, and 
 judge Him according to 
 your law. The Jews there- 
 fore said unto him, It is not 
 lawful for us to put air- 
 man to death : 
 
 (That the saying of Jesus 
 might be fulfilled, which 
 He spake, signifying what 
 death He should die. ) 
 
 And they began to accuse 
 Him, saying, We found 
 this fellow perverting the 
 nation and forbidding to 
 give tribute to Caesar, say- 
 ing that He Himself is 
 Christ a king. 
 
 And when He was ac- 
 cused, He answered noth- 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 ing. Then said Pilate unto 
 Him, A.ns\verest thou noth- 
 ing ? Hearest thou not how 
 many things they witness 
 against thee ? 
 
 And He answered him to 
 never a word : insomuch 
 that the governor marvelled 
 greatly. 
 
 Then Pilate entered into 
 the judgment hall again, 
 and called Jesus and said 
 unto Him, Art thou the 
 king of the Jews : 
 
 Jesus answered him, Say- 
 eth thou this thing of thy- 
 self, or did others tell it 
 thee of me ? 
 
 Pilate answered, Am I a 
 Jew ? Thine own nation 
 and the chief priests have 
 delivered thee unto me : 
 what hast thou done ? 
 
 Jesus answered him, My 
 kingdom is not of this 
 world : if my kingdom were 
 of this world, then would 
 my servants fight, that I 
 should not be delivered to 
 
"What is that to us: see thou to that. 
 
the Jews : but now is my 
 kingdom not from hence. 
 
 Pilate therefore said unto 
 Him, Art thou a king then? 
 Jesus answered, Thou say- 
 est that I am a king. To 
 this end was I born, and 
 for this cause came I into 
 the world, that I should 
 bear witness unto the truth. 
 Every one that is of the 
 truth heareth my voice. 
 
 Pilate saith unto Him, 
 What is truth ? And when 
 he had said this, he went 
 out again, and saith unto 
 the chief priests and to the 
 people, I find in Him no 
 fault at all. 
 
 And they were the more 
 fierce, saying, He stirreth 
 up the people, teaching 
 throughout all Jewry, be- 
 ginning from Galilee to this 
 place. 
 
 When Pilate heard of 
 Galilee, he asked whether 
 the man were a Galilean. 
 
 And as soon as he knew 
 
 PASSETH BY. 
 
 that 
 
 40 ; 
 
 He belonged unto 
 Herod's jurisdiction, he 
 sent Him to Herod, who 
 himself also was at Jeru- 
 salem at that time. 
 
 And when Herod saw 
 Jesus, he was exceeding 
 glad : for he was desirous 
 to see Him of a long season, 
 because he had heard many 
 things of Him ; and he 
 hoped to have seen 'some 
 miracle done by Him. 
 
 Then he questioned with 
 Him in many words ; but 
 He answered him nothing. 
 
 And the chief priests and 
 scribes stood and vehem- 
 ently accused Him. 
 
 And Herod w i t h his 
 m e n of war set Him 
 at nought, and mocked 
 H i m. a n d arrayed H i m 
 in a gorgeous robe, 
 and sent Hi m again to 
 Pilate. 
 
 And the same day 
 Pilate and Herod were 
 made friends together ; for 
 
4"4 JESUS OF 
 
 before, they were at enmity 
 between themselves. 
 
 When Pilate w a s set 
 down on the judgment seat, 
 his wife sent unto him, say- 
 ing, Have thou nothing to 
 do with that just man : for 
 I have suffered many things 
 this day in a dream because 
 of Him. 
 
 And Pilate, when he had 
 called together the chief 
 priests and the rulers and 
 the people, said unto them, 
 
 Ye have brought this 
 man unto me, as one that 
 perverteth the people ; and, 
 behold, I, having examined 
 Him before you, have found 
 no fault in this man touch- 
 ing those things whereof ye 
 accuse Him: 
 
 No, nor yet Herod ; for 
 I sent you to Him ; and, 
 lo, nothing worthy of death 
 is done untoHim. 
 
 I will therefore chastise 
 Him and release Him. 
 
 Now at that feast the 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 governor was wont to re- 
 lease unto the people a 
 prisoner, whomsoever they 
 desired. 
 
 And they had then a not- 
 able prisoner called Barab- 
 bas, (who for a certain se- 
 dition made in the city, and 
 for murder committed in 
 the insurrection, was cast 
 into prison ; who lay bound 
 with them that had made 
 insurrection with him. ) 
 
 And the multitude cry- 
 ing aloud began to desire 
 him to do as he had ever 
 done unto them ; (for of 
 necessity he must release 
 one unto them at the feast). 
 
 Therefore w h e n they 
 were gathered together, Pi- 
 late ■ said unto them, Ye 
 have a custom that I should 
 release unto you one at the 
 passover. Whom will ye 
 that I release unto you ? 
 
 ( For he knew that the 
 chief priests had delivered 
 Him for envy.) 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 But the chief priests and 
 elders persuaded the multi- 
 tude that they should ask 
 that he should release Ba- 
 rabbas unto them and de- 
 stroy Jesus. And they 
 cried out all at once, saying 
 Away with this man, and 
 release unto us Barabbas ! 
 
 Pilate therefore, willing 
 to release Jesus, spake again 
 to them. 
 
 Then cried they all again, 
 saying, Not this man, but 
 Barabbas ! Now Barabbas 
 was a robber. 
 
 And Pilate answered and 
 said again unto them, What 
 will ye then that I shall do 
 with Jesus which is called 
 Christ ? They all cried out, 
 Crucify Him ! crucify Him! 
 
 Then said Pilate unto 
 them the third time, Why, 
 what evil hath He done? 
 And they cried out the 
 more exceedingly, Crucify 
 Him. 
 
 And he said unto them, I 
 
 405 
 
 have found no cause of 
 death in Him : I will there- 
 fore chastise Him, and let 
 Him go. 
 
 Pilate therefore took 
 Jesus, and scourged Him, 
 
 ^1 Then the soldiers of 
 the governor took Jesus 
 into the common hall, called 
 Pretorium ; and gathered 
 unto Him the whole band. 
 
 And they stripped Him, 
 and put on Him a purple 
 robe. 
 
 And when they had 
 platted a crown of thorns, 
 they put it upon His head, 
 and a reed in His right 
 hand : and they bowed the 
 knee before Him, and 
 mocked Him, saying, Hail, 
 King of the Jews ! 
 
 And they spit upon Him, 
 and took the reed, and 
 smote Him on the head. 
 
 And when they had blind- 
 folded Him, they struck 
 Him on the face, and asked 
 
406 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 Him, saying, Prophesy, 
 who is it that smote thee ? 
 
 Then came Jesus forth, 
 wearing the crown of 
 thorns, and the purple robe. 
 And Pilate, saith unto them, 
 Behold the man ! 
 
 When the chief priests 
 therefore and officers saw 
 Him, they cried out, saying, 
 Crucify Him ! crucify Him / 
 Pilate saith unto them, 
 Take ye Him, and crucify 
 Him : for I find no fault in 
 Him. 
 
 The Jews answered him, 
 We have a law, and by our 
 law He ought to die, be- 
 cause He made Himself the 
 Son of God. 
 
 When Pilate therefore 
 heard that saying, he was 
 the more afraid ; and went 
 again into the judgment 
 hall, and saith unto Jesus, 
 Whence art thou? But Jesus 
 Ejave him no answer. 
 
 Then said Pilate unto 
 Him, Speakest thou not 
 
 unto me ? know est thou not 
 that I have power to crucify 
 thee, and have power to re- 
 lease thee ? 
 
 Jesus answered, Thou 
 couldest have no power at 
 all against me, except it 
 were given thee from above; 
 therefore he that delivered 
 me unto thee hath the 
 greater sin. 
 
 And from thenceforth 
 Pilate sought to release 
 Him : but the Jews cried 
 out, saying, If thou let this 
 man go, thou art not 
 Caesar's friend: whosoever 
 maketh himself a king, 
 speaketh against Caesar. 
 
 When Pilate therefore 
 heard that saying, he 
 brought Jesus forth and sat 
 down in the judgment seat 
 in a place that is called the 
 Pavement, but in the He- 
 brew Gabbatha. 
 
 And it was the prepara- 
 tion of the passover, and 
 about the sixth hour : and 
 
Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him. 
 
" Hail, King of the Jews.'' 
 
he saith unto the Jews, Be- 
 hold your king ! 
 
 But they cried out, Away 
 with Him ! away with Him ! 
 crucify Him ! Pilate saith 
 unto them, Shall I crucify 
 your king ? 
 
 The chief priests an- 
 swered, We have no king 
 but Caesar ! And they were 
 instant with loud voices, re- 
 quiring that He might be 
 crucified. 
 
 When Pilate saw that he 
 could prevail nothing, but 
 that rather a tumult was 
 made, he took water and 
 washed his hands before the 
 multitude, saying, I am 
 innocent of the blood 
 of this just person : see ye 
 to it. 
 
 Then answered all the 
 people and said, His blood be 
 on us and on our children ! 
 
 And the voices of them 
 and of the chief priests pre- 
 vailed : and Pilate, wiling 
 to content the people, gave 
 
 PASSETH BY. 4" 
 
 sentence that it should be 
 as they required. 
 
 And he released into 
 them him that for sedition 
 and murder was cast into 
 prison, whom they had de- 
 sired ; but he delivered 
 Jesus to their will. 
 
 And after that they had 
 mocked Him, they took the 
 robe off from Him and put 
 His own raiment on Him, 
 and led Him away to cru- 
 cify Him. 
 
 CHRIST CRUCIFIED BE- 
 TWEEN TWO THIEVES. 
 
 And He, bearing His 
 cross, went forth. 
 
 And there followed Him 
 a great company of people, 
 and of women, which also 
 bewailed and lamented 
 Him. 
 
 And Jesus turning unto 
 them, said, Daughters of 
 Jerusalem, weep not for me, 
 but weep for yourselves and 
 for your children. 
 
4'2 JESUS OF 
 
 For behold the days are 
 coming, in the which they 
 shall say, Blessed are the 
 barren, and the wombs that 
 never bare, and the paps 
 that never gave suck. 
 
 Then shall they begin to 
 say to the mountains, Fall 
 on us ; and to the hills, 
 Cover us. 
 
 For if they do these 
 things in a green tree, what 
 shall be done in the dry ? 
 
 And there were also two 
 others, malefactors, led with 
 Him to be put to death. 
 
 And when they were come 
 unto a place called Calvary, 
 which is called in the He- 
 brew, Golgotha, that is to 
 say, a place of a skull, they 
 gave Him wine mingled 
 with myrrh ; and when He 
 had tasted thereof , He would 
 not drink. 
 
 And there they crucified 
 Him, and the malefactors 
 with Him, one on the right 
 hand and the other on the 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 left, and Jesus in the 
 midst. 
 
 And the Scripture was 
 fulfilled, which saith, "And 
 He was numbered with the 
 trangressors. ' ' 
 
 Then said Jesus, Father, 
 forgive them ; for they 
 know not what they do ! 
 
 And the soldiers, when 
 they had crucified Jesus, 
 took His garments, and 
 made four parts, to every 
 soldier a part ; and also His 
 coat : now the coat was 
 without seam, w r oven from 
 the top throughout. 
 
 They said therefore 
 among themselves, L,et us 
 not rend it, but cast lots for 
 it, whose it shall be : (that 
 the Scripture might be ful- 
 filled, which was spoken by 
 the prophet, 
 
 ' ' They parted my gar- 
 ments among them, and for 
 my vesture they did cast 
 lots. ' ' ) These things there- 
 fore the soldiers did. 
 
" Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and 
 
 for your children." 
 
"They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they 
 
 cast lots." 
 
And it was the third hour 
 when they crucified Him ; 
 and .sitting down, they 
 watched Him there. 
 
 And Pilate wrote a title, 
 and put on the cross over 
 His head His accusation. 
 And the writing was, THIS 
 IS JESUS OF NAZA- 
 RETH, THE KING OF 
 THE JEWS. 
 
 This title then read many 
 of the Jews ; (for the place 
 where Jesus was crucified 
 was nigh to the city ; ) and 
 it was written in Hebrew, 
 and Greek, and Latin. 
 
 Then said the chief 
 priests of the Jews to Pilate, 
 Write not, The King of the 
 Jews ; but that He said I 
 am King of the Jews. 
 
 Pilate answered, What I 
 have written I have written. 
 
 And the people stood be- 
 holding. And the rulers 
 also with the m derided 
 Him, saying, He saved 
 others, let Him save Him- 
 
 PASSF.TH BY. 4' 7 
 
 self, if He be Christ, the 
 chosen of God. 
 
 And the soldiers also 
 mocked Him, coming to 
 Him, and offering Him 
 vinegar, and saying, If thou 
 be the King of the Jews, 
 save thyself ! 
 
 And they that passed by 
 reviled Him, and railed on 
 Him, wagging their heads, 
 and saying, Ah, thou that 
 destroy est the temple, and 
 buildest it in three days, 
 save thyself ! If thou be the 
 Sou of God, come down from 
 the cross ! 
 
 Likewise also the chief 
 priests mocking Him, with 
 the scribes and elders, said, 
 He saved others, Himself 
 He cannot save ! 
 
 L,et Christ the King of 
 Israel descend now from 
 the cross, that we may 
 see, and we will believe 
 Him. 
 
 He trusted in God ; let 
 Him deliver Him now, if 
 
4iR 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 He will have Him : for He 
 said, I am the Son of God. 
 
 And one of the thieves 
 also which were crucified 
 with Him, cast the same in 
 His teeth, and railed on 
 Him, saying, If thou be 
 Christ, save thyself and 
 us. 
 
 But the other answering 
 rebuked him, saying, Dost 
 not thou fear God, seeing 
 thou art in the same con- 
 demnation ? 
 
 And we indeed justly ; 
 for we receive the due re- 
 ward of our deeds : but this 
 man hath done nothing 
 amiss. 
 
 And he said unto Jesus, 
 Lord, remember me when 
 thou comest into thy king- 
 dom. 
 
 And Jesus said unto him, 
 Verily I say unto thee, to- 
 day shalt thou be with me 
 in paradise. 
 
 % Now there stood by the 
 
 cross of Jesus His mother 
 and His mother's sister, 
 Mary the wife of Cleophas, 
 and Mary Magdalene. 
 
 When Jesus therefore 
 saw His mother, and the 
 disciple standing by, whom 
 He loved, He saith unto 
 His mother, Woman, behold 
 thy son ! 
 
 Then saith He to the 
 disciple, Behold thy mother! 
 And from that hour that 
 disciple took her unto his 
 own home. 
 
 Now from the sixth hour 
 there was darkness over all 
 the land unto the ninth 
 hour. 
 
 And about the ninth hour 
 Jesus cried with a loud 
 voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama 
 sabachthani ? that is to say, 
 My God, my God, why hast 
 thou forsaken me ? 
 
 Some of them that stood 
 there, when they heard /hat, 
 said, This man calleth for 
 Elias. 
 
\ci\v there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, 
 Mary the -wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 421 
 
 And straightway one of 
 them ran, and took a 
 sponge, and filled it with 
 vinegar, and put it on a 
 reed, and gave Him to 
 drink. 
 
 The rest said, Let be, let 
 us see whether EHas will 
 come to save Him. 
 
 When Jesus therefore had 
 received the vinegar, He 
 said, It is finished : and 
 when He had cried again 
 with a loud voice, He said, 
 Father, into thy hands I 
 commend my spirit : and 
 having said thus, He bowed 
 His head, and yielded up 
 the ghost. 
 
 And, behold, the vail of 
 the temple was rent in twain 
 in the midst, from the top 
 to the bottom , and the 
 earth did quake, and the 
 rocks rent, and the graves 
 were opened. 
 
 Now when the centurion, 
 and they that were with 
 him, watching Jesus, saw 
 
 the earthquake and those 
 things that were done, they 
 feared greatly, saying, 
 Truly this was the Son of 
 God. 
 
 And the centurion glori- 
 fied God, saying, Certainly 
 this was a righteous man. 
 
 And all the people that 
 came together to that sight, 
 beholding the things which 
 were done, smote their 
 breasts and returned. 
 
 And all His acquaintance 
 and the women that fol- 
 lowed Him from Galilee, 
 ministering unto Him, and 
 came up with Him unto 
 Jerusalem, stood afar off, 
 beholding these things ; 
 
 Among them was Mary 
 Magdalene, and Mary the 
 mother of James the less 
 and of Joses, and Salome, 
 the mother of Zebedee's chil- 
 dren, and many other wo- 
 men, who also, when He was 
 in Galilee followed Him and 
 ministered unto Him. 
 
422 
 
 The Jews therefore, be- 
 cause it was the prepara- 
 tion, that the bodies should 
 not remain upon the cross 
 on the sabbath day (for 
 that Sabbath day was an 
 high day,) besought Pilate 
 that their legs might be 
 broken, and that they 
 might be taken away. 
 
 Then came the soldiers 
 and brake the legs of the 
 first, and of the other which 
 was crucified with Him. 
 
 But when they came to 
 Jesus and saw that He was 
 dead already, they brake 
 not His legs : but one of the 
 soldiers with a spear pierced 
 His side, and forthwith 
 came there out blood and 
 water. 
 
 And he that saw it bare 
 record, and his record is 
 true ; for he knoweth that 
 he saith true, that ye might 
 believe. 
 
 For these things were 
 done, that the Scripture 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 should be fulfilled, "A bone 
 of Him shall not be 
 broken." 
 
 And again another Scrip- 
 ture saith, "They shall 
 look on Him whom they 
 pierced." 
 
 JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA. 
 
 And behold, there was a 
 rich man of Arimathea a 
 city of the Jews, named Jo- 
 seph, an honourable coun- 
 sellor, a good and just man ; 
 
 (The same had not con- 
 sented to the counsel and 
 deed of them,) who also 
 himself waited for the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 And now when the even 
 was come, because it was 
 the preparation, that is. the 
 day before the sabbath, this 
 man, being a disciple of 
 Jesus, but secretly for fear 
 of the Jews, came, and 
 went in boldly unto Pilate, 
 and craved the body of 
 Jesus. 
 
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped It in a clean linen cloth, 
 and laid it in his own new torn!.., which he hud hewn cut In the rock. 
 
PASSETH BY. 
 
 42s 
 
 And Pilate marvelled if 
 He were already dead : and 
 calling unto him the eentur- 
 ion, lie asked him whether 
 He had been any while 
 dead. 
 
 And when he knew it of 
 the centurion, he com- 
 manded the body to be de- 
 livered to Joseph. 
 
 Joseph therefore bought 
 fine linen, and took down 
 the body of Jesus, and 
 wrapped it in a clean linen 
 cloth ; 
 
 And there came also 
 Nicodemus, (which at the 
 first came t o Jesus b y 
 night, ) and brought a mix- 
 ture of myrrh and aloes, 
 about a hundred pound 
 weight. 
 
 Then took they the body 
 of Jesus, and wound it in 
 linen clothes with the 
 spices, as the manner of the 
 Jews is to bury. 
 
 And when Joseph had 
 taken the body, he laid it 
 
 in his own new tomb, which 
 he had hewn out in the 
 rock : and he rolled a great 
 stone to the door of the 
 sepulchre and departed. 
 
 THE FAITHFUL WOMEN. 
 
 And the women also, 
 Mary Magdalene and the 
 other Mary, the mother of 
 Joses, which came with Him 
 from Galilee, followed after, 
 and sitting over against the 
 sepulchre, beheld the sepul- 
 chre and how his body was 
 laid. 
 
 And that day was the 
 preparation, and the sab- 
 bath drew on. 
 
 And the>' returned and 
 prepared spices and oint- 
 ments ; and rested the sab- 
 bath day according to the 
 commandment. 
 
 ^[ Now the next day that 
 followed the day of the 
 preparation, the chief priests 
 and the Pharisees came to- 
 
426 JESUS OF 
 
 gether unto Pilate, saying, 
 Sir, We remember that that 
 deceiver said while He was 
 yet alive, After three days 
 I will rise again. 
 
 Command therefore that 
 the sepulchre be made sure 
 until the third day, lest His 
 disciples come by night and 
 steal Him away, and say 
 unto the people, He is risen 
 from the dead : so the last 
 error shall be worse than 
 the first. 
 
 Pilate said unto them, Ye 
 have a watch : go your 
 way, make it as sure as ye 
 can. 
 
 So they went and made the 
 sepulchre sure, sealing the 
 stone and setting a watch. 
 
 And when the sabbath 
 was past Mary Magdalene, 
 and Mary the mother of 
 James, and Salome, brought 
 sweet spices, that they 
 might come and anoint 
 Him. 
 
 And as it began to dawn 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 toward the first day of the 
 week, behold there was a 
 great earthquake : for the 
 angel of the Lord descended 
 from heaven, and came and 
 rolled back the stone from 
 door and sat upon it. 
 
 His countenance was like 
 lightning, and his raiment 
 white as snow : and for fear 
 of him the keepers did 
 shake and became as dead 
 men. 
 
 And many bodies of the 
 saints which slept, arose, and 
 came out of the graves, and 
 went into the holy city and 
 appeared unto many. 
 
 ^JAnd very early in the 
 morning, when it was yet 
 dark, came Mary Magda- 
 lene and the other Mary to 
 the sepulchre, bringing the 
 spices which they had pre- 
 pared, and certain other 
 women with them. 
 
 And they said among 
 themselves, Who shall roll 
 
"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 
 
..?---'' 
 
 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from 
 the door of the sepulchre? 
 
PASSETH 
 
 awa}- the stone from the 
 door of the sepulchre ? 
 
 And when they looked, 
 they saw that the stone was 
 rolled away : for it was 
 very great. 
 
 Then runneth Mary Mag- 
 dalene and 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 sepulchre, and we know 
 not where they have laid 
 Him ! 
 
 But the other women en- 
 tered into the sepulchre, 
 and saw a young man sit- 
 ting on the right side, 
 clothed in a long white gar- 
 ment ; and they were 
 affrighted. 
 
 And the angel answered 
 and said unto the women, 
 Fear not ye : for I know 
 that ye seek Jesus of Naza- 
 reth, which was crucified : 
 He is not here : for He is 
 risen as He said ! Behold 
 
 BY. 431 
 
 the place where they laid 
 Him. 
 
 And go quickly and tell 
 His disciples and Peter, 
 that He is risen from the 
 dead ; and behold, Hegoeth 
 before you into Galilee as 
 He said unto you ; there 
 shall ye see Him : lo, I 
 have told you ! 
 
 And the}- went out 
 quickly and fled from the 
 sepulchre : for they trem- 
 bled and were amazed. 
 
 And behold, two men 
 stood by them in shining 
 garments. And as they 
 were afraid, and bowed 
 down their faces to the 
 earth, they said unto them, 
 Why seek ye the living 
 among the dead ? He is 
 not here, but is risen ! 
 
 Remember how He spake 
 unto you when He was yet 
 in Galilee, saying, The 
 Son of man must be deliv- 
 ered into the hands of 
 sinful men, and be cru- 
 
432 JESUS OF 
 
 fied, and the third day rise 
 again. 
 
 And they remembered 
 His words, and departed 
 quickly from the sepulchre 
 with fear and great joy : 
 neither said they anything 
 to any tnan, for the} 7 were 
 afraid, but did run to bring 
 His disciples word. 
 
 Now when they were go- 
 ing, behold, some of the 
 watch came into the city 
 and shewed unto the chief 
 priests all the things that 
 were done. 
 
 And when they were as- 
 sembled with the elders, 
 and had taken counsel, they 
 gave large money unto the 
 soldiers, saying, Say ye, 
 His disciples came by night, 
 and stole Him away while 
 we slept. 
 
 And if this come to the 
 governor's ears, we will 
 persuade him, and secure 
 you. 
 
 So they took the money, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 and did as they were 
 taught : and this saying is 
 commonly reported among 
 the Jews until this day. 
 
 Now when Mary Mag- 
 dalene came to Simon Peter, 
 and to the other disciple, 
 whom Jesus loved, and 
 saith unto them, They have 
 taken away the Lord out 
 of the sepulchre, and we 
 know not where they have 
 laid Him, then arose Peter, 
 and went forth, and that 
 other disciple, and came to 
 the sepulchre. 
 
 So they ran both together: 
 and the other disciple did 
 outrun Peter, and came 
 first to the sepulchre. 
 
 And he stooping down, 
 and /ooking in, saw the linen 
 clothes lying ; yet went he 
 not in. 
 
 Then cometh Simon Peter 
 following him, and went 
 into the sepulchre, and 
 seeth the linen clothes laid 
 by themselves ; 
 
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, 
 Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 And the napkin that was 
 about His head, not lying 
 with the linen clothes, but 
 wrapped together in a place 
 by itself. 
 
 Then went in also that 
 other disciple, which came 
 first to the sepulchre, and 
 he saw, and believed. 
 
 For as yet they knew 
 not the Scripture, that He 
 must rise again from the 
 dead. 
 
 Then the disciples went 
 away again unto their own 
 home, wondering at that 
 which was come to pass. 
 
 But Mary stood without 
 at the sepulchre weeping : 
 and as she wept, she stooped 
 down and looked into the 
 sepulchre, and seeth two 
 angels in white sitting, the 
 one at the head, and the 
 other at the feet, where the 
 body of Jesus had lain. 
 
 And they say unto her, 
 Woman, why weepestthou? 
 She saith unto them, Be- 
 
 435 
 
 cause the}' have taken away 
 my Lord, and I know not 
 w here they have laid 
 Him. 
 
 And when she had thus 
 said, she turn herself back 
 and saw Jesus standing, 
 and knew not that it was 
 Jesus. 
 
 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. 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, 
 Mary. She turned herself, 
 and saith unto Him, Rab- 
 boni ! which is to say, Mas- 
 ter ! 
 
 Jesus saith unto her, 
 Touch me not ; for I am 
 not yet ascended to my 
 Father : but go to my breth- 
 ren and say unto them, I as- 
 cend unto my Father and 
 
43& 
 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH 
 
 your Father, and to my 
 God and your God. 
 
 Mar}' Magdalene came 
 and told the disciples that 
 she had seen the Lord, and 
 that He had spoken these 
 things unto her. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIH. 
 
 NOW when Jesus was 
 risen early on the first 
 day of the week, He appeared 
 first to Mary Magdalene, 
 out of whom He had cast 
 seven devils. 
 
 And she went and told 
 them that had been with 
 Him, as they mourned and 
 wept. 
 
 And they, when they had 
 heard that He was alive, 
 and had been seen of her, 
 believed not. 
 
 And as Joanna, and Mary 
 the mother of James, and 
 the other women that were 
 with them, went to tell 
 His disciples, behold, Je- 
 
 sus met them, saying, All 
 hail ! 
 
 And they came and held 
 Him by the feet and wor- 
 shipped Him. 
 
 Then said Jesus unto 
 them, Be not afraid : go 
 tell my brethren that they 
 go into Galilee, and there 
 they shall see me. 
 
 And they went and told all 
 these things unto the eleven 
 and to all the rest ; and 
 their words seemed to them 
 as idle tales, and they be- 
 lieved them not. 
 
 After that He appeared 
 in another form unto two of 
 them, that same day, as they 
 walked into the country 
 to a village called Emmaus, 
 which was from Jerusalem 
 about threescore furlongs. 
 
 And they talked together 
 of all these things which 
 had happened. 
 
 And it came to pass that 
 while they communed to- 
 gether and reasoned, Jesus 
 
PASSETH BY 
 
 Himself drew near and 
 went with them. But their 
 eyes were holden that they 
 should not know Him. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 What manner of communi- 
 cations are these that ye 
 have one to another, as ye 
 walk and are sad? 
 
 And the one of them, 
 whose name was Cleopas, 
 answering said unto Him, 
 Art thou only a stranger in 
 Jerusalem, and hast not 
 known the things which are 
 come to pass there in these 
 days ? 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 What things ? And they 
 said unto Him, Concerning 
 Jesus of Nazareth, which 
 was a prophet mighty in 
 deed and word before God 
 and all the people : 
 
 And how the chief priests 
 and our rulers delivered 
 Him to be condemned to 
 death, and have crucified 
 Him. 
 
 437 
 
 But we trusted that it 
 had been He which should 
 have redeemed Israel : and 
 beside all this, to-day is the 
 third day since these things 
 were done. 
 
 Yea, and certain women 
 also of our company made 
 us astonished, which were 
 tarly at the sepulchre ; 
 
 And when they found not 
 His body, the} 7 came, say- 
 ing, that they had also seen 
 a vision of angels, which 
 said that He was alive. 
 
 And certain of them 
 which were with us, went 
 to the sepulchre, and found 
 it even so as the women had 
 said : but Him they saw- 
 not. 
 
 Then He said unto them, 
 O fools, and slow of heart 
 to believe all that the pro- 
 phets have spoken ! 
 
 Ought not Christ to have 
 suffered these things, and 
 to enter into His glory ? 
 
 And beginning at Moses 
 
438 
 
 JESUS OF 
 
 and all the prophets, He ex- 
 pounded unto them in all 
 the Scriptures, the things 
 concerning Himself. 
 
 And they drew nigh unto 
 the village whither they 
 went,and He made as though 
 He would have gone fur- 
 ther : but they constrained 
 Him, saying, Abide with 
 ns : for it is toward evening 
 and the day is far spent. 
 
 And He went in to tarry 
 with them. 
 
 And it came to pass as 
 He sat at meat with them, 
 He took bread and blessed 
 it, and brake and gave to 
 them. 
 
 And their eyes were 
 opened and they knew 
 Him ; and He vanished out 
 of their sight. 
 
 And they said one to 
 another, Did not our heart 
 burn within us while He 
 talked with us by the way, 
 and while He opened to us 
 the Scriptures ? 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 And they rose the same 
 hour and returned to Jeru- 
 salem the same day at even- 
 ing (being the first day of 
 the week,) and found the 
 eleven gathered together at 
 meat, and them that were 
 with them, saying, The 
 Lord has risen indeed, and 
 hath appeared to Simon. 
 
 And they told w h a t 
 things were done in the 
 way, and how He was 
 known of them in breaking 
 of bread. 
 
 And as they spake these 
 things, and when the doors 
 were shut where the dis- 
 ciples were assembled for 
 fear of the Jews, Jesus Him- 
 self stood in the midst of 
 them, and saith unto them, 
 Peace be unto you. 
 
 But they were terrified 
 and affrighted, and sup- 
 posed that they had seen a 
 spirit. 
 
 And He said unto 
 them, Why are ye troubled? 
 
And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He vanished out 
 
 of their sijjht. 
 
Behold my hands and my feet that it is I myself: handle mc and see. 
 
I'AsSITH MY. 
 
 44' 
 
 and why do thoughts arise 
 in your hearts ? 
 
 Behold my hands and 
 my feet, that it is I myself : 
 handle me and see ; for a 
 spirit hath not flesh and 
 bones, as ye see me have. 
 
 And when He had thus 
 spoken. He shewed them 
 His hands and feet, and His 
 side. Then were the dis- 
 ciples glad, when they saw 
 the Lord. 
 
 And while they yet be- 
 lieved not for joy, and won- 
 dered, He said unto them, 
 Have ye here any meat ? 
 
 And they gave Him a 
 piece of a broiled fish, and 
 of an honeycomb : and He 
 took it, and did eat before 
 them. 
 
 And He upbraided them 
 with their unbelief and 
 hardness of heart, because 
 they believed not the m 
 which had seen Him after 
 He was risen. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 
 These are the words whicl. 
 I spake unto you, while 1 
 was yet with you, that al) 
 things must be fulfilled, 
 which were written in the 
 law of Moses, and in the 
 prophets, and in the psalms, 
 concerning me. 
 
 Then opened He their 
 understanding, that they 
 might understand the .Scrip- 
 tures. 
 
 And said unto them, 
 Thus it is written, and thus 
 it behooved Christ to suffer, 
 and to rise from the dead 
 the third day : 
 
 And that repentance and 
 remission of sins should be 
 preached in His n a m e 
 among all nations, begin- 
 ning at Jerusalem. 
 
 And ye are witnesses of 
 these things. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Go ye into all the world, 
 and preach the gospel to 
 every creature. 
 
 He that believeth and is 
 
442 JESUS OF 
 
 baptized shall be saved ; 
 but he that believeth not, 
 shall be damned. 
 
 And these signs shall 
 follow them that believe ; 
 In my name shall they cast 
 out devils ; they shall speak 
 with new tongues ; they 
 shall take up serpents ; and 
 if they drink any deadly 
 thing, it shall not hurt 
 them ; the}' shall lay hands 
 on the sick, and they shall 
 recover. 
 
 Then said Jesus to 
 them again, Peace be unto 
 you : as my Father hath 
 sent me, even so send I 
 you. 
 
 And when He had said 
 this, He breathed on them, 
 and saith unto them, Re- 
 ceive ye the Holy Ghost. 
 Whosoever sins ye remit 
 they are remitted unto them ; 
 and whosoever sins ye retain 
 they are retained. 
 
 But Thomas, one of the 
 twelve, called Didvmus, was 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 not with them when Jesus 
 came. 
 
 The other disciples there- 
 fore said unto him, YVe 
 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 thrust my 
 hand into His side, I will 
 not believe. 
 
 And after eight days, 
 again His disciples were 
 within, and Thomas with 
 them : then came Jesus, the 
 doors, being shut, and stood 
 in the midst and said, Peace 
 be unto you. 
 
 Then saith He to Thomas, 
 Reach hither thy finger, 
 and behold my hands ; and 
 reach hither thy hand, and 
 thrust it into my side ; and 
 be not faithless but believ- 
 ing. 
 
 And Thomas answered 
 and said unto Him, My 
 Lord and my God.

Jesus saith unto him, 
 Thomas, because thou hast

 blessed are they that have 
 not seen, and yet have be- 
 lieved. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 AFTER these things 
 Jesus shewed Him- 
 self again to the disciples at 
 the sea of Tiberias ; and on 
 this wise shewed he him- 
 self. 
 
 There were together 
 Simon Peter, and Thomas 
 called Didymus, and Na- 
 thanael of Cana in Galilee, 
 and the sons of Zebedee, 
 and two other of His dis- 
 ciples. 
 
 Simon Peter saith unto 
 them, I go a fishing. They 
 say unto him. We also go 
 with thee. They went forth, 
 and entered into a ship 
 immediately ; and that 
 night they caught nothing.

 But

 when the morning 
 was now come, Jesus stood 
 on the shore ; but the dis- 
 ciples knew not that it was 
 Jesus. 
 
 Then Jesus saith unto 
 them, Children, have ye 
 any meat? They answered 
 him, No. 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 Cast the net on the right 
 side of the ship, and ye 
 shall find. They cast there- 
 fore, and now they were 
 not able to draw it for the 
 multitude of fishes. 
 
 Therefore that disciple 
 whom Jesus loved saith unto 
 Peter, It is the Lord Now 
 when Simon Peter heard 
 that it was the Lord, he 
 girt his fisher's coat unto 
 him, (for he was naked,) 
 and did cast himself into 
 the sea. 
 
 And the other disciples 
 came in a little ship, (for 
 they were not far from 
 land, but as it were two 
 
446 JESUS OF 
 
 hundred cubits, ) dragging 
 the net with fishes. 
 
 As soon then as they 
 were come to land, they 
 saw a fire of coals there, 
 and fish laid thereon, and 
 bread. 
 
 Jesus s a i t h unto 
 them, Bring of the fish 
 w h i c h ye have no w 
 caught. 
 
 Simon Peter went up, 
 and drew the net to land 
 full of great fishes, a hun- 
 dred and fifty and three : 
 and for all there were so 
 many, yet was not the net 
 broken. 
 
 Jesus saith unto them, 
 Come and dine. And none 
 of the disciples durst ask 
 Him, Who art thou ? know- 
 ing that it was the Lord. 
 
 Jesus then cometh, and 
 taketh bread, and giveth 
 them, and fish likewise. 
 
 This is now the third 
 time that Jesus shewed 
 Himself to his disciples | 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 after that He was risen from 
 the dead. 
 
 ■f[ So when the}- had 
 dined, Jesus saith to 
 Simon Peter, Simon, son 
 of Jonas, lovest thou me 
 more than these ? He saith 
 unto Him, Yea, Lord ; thou 
 knowest that I love thee. 
 He saith unto him, Feed 
 my lambs. 
 
 He saith to him again the 
 second time, Simon, son of 
 Jonas, lovest thou me ? He 
 saith unto Him, Yea, Lord ; 
 thou knowest that I love 
 thee. He saith unto Him, 
 Feed my sheep. 
 
 He saith unto him the 
 third time, Simon, son of 
 Jonas, lovest thou me ? 
 Peter was grieved because 
 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. Jesus saith 
 
And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest 
 
 that I love Thee.

 unto him, Feed my 
 sheep. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto 
 thee, W h e n thou wast 
 young, thou girdest thy- 
 self and walkedst whither 
 thou wouldest : but when 
 thou shalt be old, thou shalt 
 stretch forth thy hands, and 
 another shall gird thee, and 
 carry thee whither thou 
 wouldest not. 
 
 This spake He, signifying 
 by what death He should 
 glorify God. And when 
 He had spoken this, He 
 saith unto him, Follow me. 
 
 Then Peter, turning 
 about, s e e t h the disciple 
 whom Jesus loved follow- 
 ing ; which also leaned on 
 His breast at supper, and 
 said, Lord, which is he that 
 betrayeth thee? 
 
 Peter seeing him saith to 
 Jesus, Lord, and what shall 
 this man do ? 
 
 Jesus saith unto him, If I 
 will that he tarry till I 
 
 come, what is thai to thee ? 
 follow thou me. 
 
 Then went this saying 
 abroad among the brethren, 
 that that disciple should not 
 die : yet Jesus said not unto 
 him, He shall not die ; but, 
 If I will that he tarry till I 
 come, what is that to thee? 
 
 This is the disciple which 
 testifieth of these things, 
 and wrote these things : 
 and we know that his testi- 
 mony is true. 
 
 *i] Then the eleven dis- 
 ciples went away into 
 Galilee, into a mountain 
 where Jesus had appointed 
 them. 
 
 (After that, He was seen 
 of above five hundred 
 brethren at once. ) 
 
 And when they saw Him, 
 they worshipped Him : but 
 some doubted. 
 
 And Jesus came and 
 spake unto them, saying, 
 All power is given unto me 
 
45o JESUS OF 
 
 in heaven and in earth. 
 
 Go ye therefore, and 
 teach all nations, baptizing 
 them in the name of the 
 Father, and of the Son, and 
 of the Holy Ghost ; 
 
 Teaching them to ob- 
 serve all things whatsoever 
 I have commanded you : 
 and, lo, I am with you al- 
 ways, even unto the end of 
 
 the world. 
 
 After that, He was seen 
 of James ; then of all the 
 apostles ; to whom also He 
 shewed Himself alive after 
 His passion by many in- 
 fallible proofs, being seen 
 ^f them forty days, and 
 speaking of the things per- 
 taining to the kingdom of 
 God: 
 
 And, being assembled 
 together with them, com- 
 manded them that they 
 should not depart from 
 Jerusalem, but wait for the 
 promise of the Father, 
 
 NAZARETH 
 
 which, saith He, ye have 
 heard of me. 
 
 For John truly baptized 
 with water ; but ye shall be 
 baptized with the Holy 
 Ghost not many days 
 hence. 
 
 When they therefore were 
 come together they asked 
 of Him, saying, Lord, wilt 
 thou at this time restore 
 again the kingdom to 
 Israel ? 
 
 And He said unto them, 
 It is not for you to know 
 the times or the seasons, 
 which the Father hath put 
 in His own power. 
 
 But ye shall receive 
 power, after that the Holy 
 Ghost is come upon you : 
 and ye shall be witnesses 
 unto me both in Jerusalem 
 and in all Judea, and in 
 Samaria, and unto the ut- 
 termost part of the earth. 
 
 And behold, I send the 
 promise of my Father upon

 11 And He led them out 
 as far as to Bethany, and 
 He lifted up His hands and 
 blessed them. 
 
 And while He blessed 
 them, He was parted from 
 them, and while they be- 
 held, He was taken up into 
 heaven, and a cloud re- 
 ceived Him out of their 
 sight. 
 
 And while they looked 
 steadfastly toward heaven 
 as He went up, behold, two 
 men stood by them in white 
 apparel ; 
 
 Which also said, Ye men 
 of Galilee, why stand ye 
 gazing up into heaven ? this 
 same Jesus, which is taken 
 up from you into heaven, 
 shall so come in like manner

 And they worshiped Him 
 and returned to Jerusalem 
 with great joy ; 
 
 And were continually in 
 the temple, praising and 
 
 blessing God.

 truly did Jesus in the pre- 
 sence of His disciples, 
 which are not written in 
 this book ; 
 
 But these are written,

 But he, being full of the

 And said, Behold, I see

 And they stoned Stephen,
