sat at the table, he would not suffer them to do a wrong.

And straightway the king sent the executioner, and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison.

And he bare his head upon a dish, and gave it unto the maid, and the maid gave it unto her mother.

And when his disciples heard it, they came and took up his body, and laid it in a sepulchre.

And the apostles came together unto JEsu, and told him all these things, and what they had done and taught.

And he said unto them: Let us go particularly into a wilderness, and rest a little. For there were many of them that went from time to time, and had not time enough to eat.

And he went in a ship unto a wilderness in particular.

And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran there together on foot out of all the cities, and preceded them, and came unto him.

And JEsus went out, and saw the great multitude; and he was grieved of them, because they were as sheep having no shepherd: and he began a long sermon.

And when the day was almost expired, his disciples came unto him, saying: It is desolate here, and the day is now gone.

Send them away from thee, that they may go into the villages and villages round about, and
buy themselves bread: for they have not food.

But JEsus answered and said unto them: Pray ye them to eat. And they said unto him, Shall we then go and buy bread worth two hundred pennies, and give them to eat?

And he said unto them: How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they had found out, they said: Five and two fish.

And he commanded them that they should all lie down by tables full upon the green grass.

And they sat down by strata, an hundred and an hundred, fifty and fifty.

And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.

And they did all eat, and were filled.

And they took up the fragments, twelve baskets full, and of the fishes.

And they that did eat were five thousand men.

And straightway he drove his disciples to enter into the ship, and to go before him to Bethsaida, until he should send the people away.

And when he had put them away, he went up into a mountain to pray.

And at even the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land.

And he saw that they were troubled in rowing, because the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, and walked upon the sea.

And he would pass over before them. And when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out.

For they all saw him, and were afraid. But straightway he spake unto them, and said unto them, Be of good cheer; it is I, fear not.

And he stood by them in the ship, and the wind ceased. And they were astonished, and wondered exceedingly.

For they had no understanding of the loaves, and their hearts were hardened.

And when they were passed over, they came into the land of Galilee, and departed.

And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him.

And they all ran into the countries round about, and began to carry about the sick in beds, where they heard that he was.

And when he entered into the markets, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the market, and besought him that they would touch the hem of his garment only. And all who touched him were healed.
(Mark)
Chapter 7
Of the Pharisee’s hypocrisy, the heathen woman’s little daughter, a deaf and dumb man.

And there came unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes which were come from Jerusalem.

And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with unclean hands, that is, with unwashen hands, they promised.

For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, but wash their hands sometimes: so they keep the statutes of the ancients.

And when they come from the market, they eat not, but wash themselves. And the thing is much that they have accepted to keep, to wash of drinking vessels, and pitchers, and vessels of brass, and tables.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk in the statutes of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

And he answered and said unto them: Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

But it is in vain that they minister unto me, because they teach such doctrine as is not the commandment of men.

Ye forsake the commandment of God, and keep the ordinances of men, to wash of pitchers and vessels of drink: and ye do much of the same.

And he said unto them: Well have ye kept the commandment of God, that ye may keep your statutes.

For Moses said, Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother: and: He that curseth father or mother shall surely be put to death:

And ye teach, If a man say unto his father, or to his mother, Korban, that is, If I offer it, it is much more profitable for thee; he doeth well.

And henceforth ye shall not let him do anything to his father or to his mother.

And lift up the word of God by your statutes which ye have set up: and ye do much of the same.

And he called all the people unto him, and said unto them: Listen to me, all of you, and hear.

There is nothing beside man, if it enter into him, to make him vile: but that which proceedeth out of him, the same is it that maketh man vile.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

And when he was come into the house from among the people, his disciples asked him this parable

And he said unto them, Are ye also so foolish? Do ye not yet understand that all things which are without, and which enter into a man, cannot make him mean?

For it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out by the natural process, which eateth all meat.

And he said, That which cometh out of a man maketh a man common.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

thievery, avarice, roguishness; cunning, fornication, roguishness, blasphemy, arrogance, unreasonableness.

all these evil pieces go out from within and make man mean.

And he arose, and went from thence into the border of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would not let any man know it, and yet could not be hid.

For a certain woman had heard of him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit. And she came and fell down at his feet.

(and she was a Greek woman of Syro-Phoenicia); and she besought him that he would cast out devils from her daughter.

And JESUS said unto her, Let the children first be filled. It is not good to take the children’s bread, and cast it to the dogs.

And she answered and said unto him, Yea, Lord; but yet the little dogs eat under the table of the children’s crumbs.

And he said unto her, For the word’s sake go thy way: the devil is departed from thy daughter.

And she went into her house, and found the devil gone out, and her daughter lying in her bed.

And when he was gone out again from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, into the midst of the border of the ten cities.

And they brought unto him a dove that was dumb: and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

And he took him specially from among the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and spit upon his tongue, and stirred it.

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said unto him, Hephatha; that is, Arise.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spake right.

And he forbade them, that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade, the more they spread it abroad.

And they marvelled exceedingly, and said: He hath made all things well: the deaf he maketh to hear, and the speechless to speak].
(Mark)
Chapter 8
Seven loaves, sign and leaven of the Pharisees, healing of the blind man, confession of Christ, JEsu suffering.

At that time, when there was a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said unto them:

I am grieved for the people: for they have tarried with me three days, and have nothing to eat; 3. And if I sent them home uneaten, they would faint in the way. For some had come from afar.

His disciples answered him, Whence take we bread here in the wilderness, that we may satisfy them?

And he asked them: How many have ye loaves? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the people to lie down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they set them before the people.

And they had a few little fishes: and he gave thanks, and commanded the same to be brought forth.

And they did eat, and were filled, and took
