and Susanna, and many others, which gave him of their substance.

And when much people were gathered together, and were hastened unto him out of the cities, he spake by a parable:

And there went out a sower to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and were substituted, and the fowls of the air devoured them.

And some fell upon the rock; and when it arose, it withered, because it had no sap.

And some fell among the thorns; and the thorns came up with it, and choked it.

And some fell upon a good land, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said this, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What is this parable?

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto others in parables, that they should not see, though they see it already; neither understand, though they hear it already.

Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.

But they that are in the way are they which hear; afterward cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

But they that are on the rock are they: when they hear it, they receive the word with joy. And they have not root: For a time they believe, and in time of disputation they fall away.

And that which fell among thorns are they which hear it, and go down to the sorrows, and riches, and lusts of this life, and are choked, and bring no fruit.

But those that are in the good land are they which hear the word, and keep it in a fine good heart, and bring forth fruit in patience].

But no man kindleth a light, and covereth it with a vessel, or setteth it under a bench; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that whosoever entereth in may see the light.

For there is nothing hid, that shall not be revealed; neither is there anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

Take heed therefore how ye hearken. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away, even that which he thinketh he hath.

And his mother and his brethren went their way, and could not come unto him before the people.

And it was told him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

And he answered and said unto them: My mother and my brothers are these who hear God’s word and do it.

And it came to pass in those days, that he entered into a ship with his disciples. And he said unto them: Let us go over the lake. And they came up from the land.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there came a whirlwind upon the sea, and the waves overtook them, and they were in great peril.

And they came unto him, and awoke him, and said: Master, master, we perish! And he arose, and rebuked the wind and the flood; and the wind ceased, and there was silence.

And he said unto them: Where is your faith? And they feared, and wondered, and said one to another, Who is this? For he believeth the wind and the water, and they obey him.

And they departed into the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

And as he went out into the country, there met him a man of the city. And he had devils from of old, and put on no raiment, and abode in no house, but in the tombs.

And when he saw JEsum, he cried out, and fell down before him, and cried with a loud voice, saying, What have I to do with thee, O JEsu, thou Son of GOD most high? I pray thee, torment me not.

For he commanded the unclean spirit to depart from the man: for he had long afflicted him.
And he was bound with chains, and bound with fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wildernesses.

And JEsus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion. For many devils were entered into him.

And they besought him that he would not let them go down into the deep.

And there was there a great herd of swine feeding in the pasture of the mountain. And they besought him that he would give them leave to go into them. And he gave them permission.

And the devils departed out of man, and lead in swine. And the flock plunged with a tempest into the lake, and were drowned.

And when the shepherds saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the villages.

And they went out to see what was done, and came to JEsu, and found the man, from whom the devils were gone out, sitting at the feet of JEsu, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

And they that saw it told them, how that he that was possessed with devils was healed.

And all the multitude of the country round about of the Gadarenes besought him that he would depart from them. For great fear had come upon them. And he entered into the ship, and turned again.

But the man from whom the devils had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away and said:

Return home, and tell how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went and preached throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

And it came to pass, when JEsus was come again, that the people received him: for they were all waiting for him.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, which was a ruler of the synagogue, and fell at JEsu’s feet, and besought him to come into his house:

For he had a certain daughter about twelve years old, which was in her last days. And as he went, the people pressed upon him.

And a certain woman had had the issue of blood twelve years: she had turned all her food unto physicians, and could be healed of none.

And she came up behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and straightway the issue of blood came upon her.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when they all denied it, Peter said, and they that were with him: Master, the people press and press thee, and thou sayest, Who touched me?

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I feel that a power is gone out of me.

And when the woman saw that it was not hid, she came with trembling, and fell down before him, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed straightway.

And he said unto her, Be of good cheer, my daughter; thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace.

While he yet spake, one of the servants of the ruler of the synagogue came and said unto him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the master.

And when Jesus heard it, he answered and said unto him, Fear not. Only believe, and she shall be healed.

And when he was come into the house, he suffered no man to enter in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.

And they wept all, and lamented for them. But he said, Weep not. She is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And he drove them all out, and took them by the hand, and cried, saying, Child, arise.

And her spirit returned, and she arose straightway. And he commanded that they should feed her.

And their parents were astonished. And he commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.

Chapter 9
Of the twelve apostles, five loaves, Christ’s transfiguration and passion, the disciples’ ambition and zeal.

And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and that they might heal pestilences.

And sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. The sick.

And he said unto them: Ye shall take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; neither shall any man have two coats.

And whither ye go into one house, there abide till ye depart from thence.

And they that receive you not, come out of the same city, and shake off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them.

And they went out, and went through the markets, preaching the gospel, and healing in every place.

And it came to pass before Herod the tetrarch, that all things were done by him: and he was troubled, because it was said of some, John is risen from the dead; 8. And of some, Elias hath appeared; and of some, One of the old prophets is risen.

And Herod said, John, him have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear these things? And desired to see him.

And the apostles came again, and told him how great things they had done: and he took them, and departed specially into a wilderness near the city which is called Bethsaida.

And when the people perceived it, they followed him. And he sent for them, and told them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that needed it. But the day began to draw near.

And the twelve came unto him, and said unto him, Send the people away from thee, that they may go into the villages round about, and
