Jesus turned, and saw her, and said, Be of good cheer, my daughter: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was healed that very hour.

And when he was come into the chief captain’s house, he saw the pipers and the tumult of the people,

And he said unto them: Go away; for the maiden is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

And when the people were cast out, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the damsel arose.

And the rumour went out into all that land.

And as JEsus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying: O Son of David, have mercy on us!

And when he was come home, the blind came unto him. And JEsus said unto them: Do ye believe that I can do these things unto you? And they said unto him, Lord, yea.

Then touched he their eyes, and said, Be it done unto you according to your faith.

And their eyes were opened. And JEsus afflicted them, saying, See that no man know it.

And they went out, and made him famous throughout all that country.

And when they were come out, behold, they brought unto him a man dumb and possessed.

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spake. And the people marvelled, saying, Such things were never seen in Israel.

But the Pharisees said: He casteth out devils by the chief of the devils.

And JE went about into all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

And when he saw the people, he was sorry for them: for they were faint, and scattered as sheep that have no shepherd.

And he said unto his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.

Therefore pray ye the LORD of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
(Matthew)
Chapter 10
Of the twelve disciples of Christ.

And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother;. James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbeus surnamed Thaddaeus;

Simon of Cana and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

These twelve JEsus sent, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, nor go into the cities of the Samaritans,

But go ye to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But go and preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. For free ye have received, for
free ye give.

Ye shall not have gold, nor silver, nor brass, in your girdles, 10. Neither shall there be a bag to carry away, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For a labourer is worthy of his meat.

And when ye go into any city or market, inquire whether there be any worthy therein, and abide with him until ye depart thence.

And where ye enter into any house, salute the same.

And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it. But if it be not worthy, your peace shall return unto you.

And if any man will not receive you, nor hear your words, come out of that house or city, and shake off the dust of your feet.

Verily I say unto you, That the land of Sodom and Gomorr will be more tolerable in the last judgment than that city.

Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and without guile as doves.

But beware of men. For they will deliver you up before their town halls, and scourge you in their synagogues.

And ye shall be brought before princes and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them, and against the heathen.

When therefore they shall deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.

For it is not ye that speak, but your Father’s Spirit which speaketh by you.

And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to die.

And must be hated by everyone for my name’s sake. But he who perseveres to the end will be saved.

But if they persecute you in one city, flee into another. Verily I say unto you, Ye shall not align the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the father of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call his household!

Therefore fear them not. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that will not be known.

What I say unto you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

And fear not them which kill the body, neither kill the soul. But rather fear him who may destroy both body and soul into hell.

Is not two sparrows bought for a penny? Not one of them will fall to the earth without your father.

But now are all the hairs of your head numbered.

Fear not therefore: ye are better than many sparrows.

Therefore whosoever shall confess me before men, him will I confess before my heavenly Father.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my heavenly Father.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I am not come to send peace, but the sword.

For I am come to provoke a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the cord against her inlaws.

And man’s enemies shall be 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 whosoever shall not take up his cross, and follow 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 receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

He that receiveth a prophet in a prophet’s name shall receive a prophet’s reward. He that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

And whosoever shall water one of these little ones with a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, it shall not go unrewarded unto him.
(Matthew)
Chapter 11
John’s message. Christ’s earnest threat and friendly invitation.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

And when John heard the works of Christ in prison, he sent two of his disciples.

And said unto him, Art thou he that is to come, or shall we wait for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them: Go and tell John again what you see and hear: 5. The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them; 6. And blessed is he that is not offended in me.

And as they went, Jesus began to say unto John’s people, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? Did ye desire to see a reed which the wind wove to and fro?

Or what went ye out to see? Wilt thou see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft garments are in the houses of kings.

Or what went ye out to see? Did ye desire to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, he also is more than a prophet.

For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thee, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Verily I say unto you, Among all them that are born of virgins there hath not arisen one greater than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

But from the days of John the Baptist unto this time the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and they that do violence snatch it away.

For all the prophets and the law have taught until John.

And (if ye will accept it) he is Elias, which shall be for the future.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like the little children that sit in the marketplace, and cry out against their fellows.

And say: We whistled unto you, and ye would not dance; we mourned unto you, and ye would not weep.

John came, neither eating nor drinking: so they say, He hath the devil.

The Son of man is come, eat and drink: and they say, Behold, man is a glutton, and a winebibber, a publican, and a sinner’s companion. And wisdom must be justified by her children.

Then began he to reproach the cities wherein most of his deeds were done, and yet had not reformed:

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
