find lodging and meat: for we are here in the wilderness.

And he said unto them: Give ye them to eat. And they said: We have not more than five loaves and two fishes: except we go and buy meat for so great a multitude.

(For there were about five thousand men.) And he said unto his disciples, Let them sit down by strata, fifty by fifty.

And they did so, and sat down all of them.

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

And they did eat, and were all filled: and they took up that which was left them of the fragments, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, and his disciples with him, he asked them, saying, Who do men say that I am?

And they answered and said, They say that thou art John the Baptist; and some that thou art Elias; and some that one of the old prophets is risen.

And he said unto them: But who do ye say that I am? Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ of God.

And he afflicted them, and commanded that they should tell no man, 22. And said, For the Son of man must yet suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise again the third day.

Then said he unto them all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall save it.

And what profit would a man have if he gained the whole world and lost himself or damaged himself?

But whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed also, when he cometh in his glory, and of his Father, and of the holy angels.

But verily I say unto you, That there be some of them which stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as he prayed, the form of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and shining.

And, behold, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias.

Which appeared in plainness, and spake of the end which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

And Peter, and they that were with him, were full of sleep. And when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men standing by him.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto JESUS, Master, here is good: let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And he knew not what he spake.

And as he spake these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid, because the cloud overshadowed them.

and there fell a voice from the
Cloud which said, This is my beloved Son, him shall ye hear.

And when this voice was heard, they found Jesus alone. And they kept silence, and told no man any thing in those days which they had seen.

And it came to pass on the morrow, as they came down from the mountain, much people met them.

And, behold, a man of the people cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, possess my son: for he is mine only son.

Behold, the spirit taketh hold upon him, and straightway he crieth out, and teareth him, and he foameth; and with distress he departeth from him, when he hath torn him.

And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

Then answered JEsus, and said, O faithless and perverse kind! How long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

And when he was come unto him, the devil rent him, and tore him asunder. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and restored him unto his father.

And they were all astonished at the glory of GOD. And when they were all astonished at all that he did, he said unto his disciples:

Take ye in your ears these sayings. For the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men.

But they heard not the word, and it was hid from them, that they understood it not: and they feared to ask him the same word.

There came also a thought among them, which of them would be the greatest.

And when JESUS saw the thought of their heart, he took hold of a child, and set him by his side.

And said unto them: He that receiveth the child in my name receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. But he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

Then John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we rebuked him: for he followed not thee with us.

And JEsus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

And it came to pass, when the time was fulfilled for him to be taken away, that he turned his face to go straightway to Jerusalem.

And he sent messengers before him; and they went, and came into a market of the Samaritans, to give him lodging.

And they received him not, because he had turned his face to walk toward Jerusalem.

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said: Lord, if thou wilt, let us say, Fire shall fall from heaven, and consume them, as Elias did.

But JEsus turned and afflicted them, and said, Know ye not of what manner of spirit ye are the children?

The Son of man is not come to destroy men’s souls, but to preserve them.

And they went into another market. And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that one said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And JESUS said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said unto another: Follow me. And he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But JESUS said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, preach the kingdom of GOD.

And another said, Lord, I will come after thee: but let me first make a parting with them that are in my house.

And JESUS said unto him, Whosoever putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh back, is not sent into the kingdom of GOD.
(Luke)
Chapter 10
Seventy disciples. Parable of the Good Samaritan. Mary at Jesus’ feet.

Afterward the LORD separated other seventy, and sent them two and two before him into all the cities and places where he would come.

And said unto them: The harvest is great, but the labourer is few: pray the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Go ye your way. Behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves.

No bag, nor pocket, nor shoes, and greet no man in the street.

Whithersoever ye enter into any house, speak ye first, saying, Peace be in this house.

And if there be a child of peace there, your peace shall be upon him: but if not, your peace shall return unto you.

But abide in the same house, eating and drinking what they have: for a labourer is worthy of his hire. Ye shall not go from house to house.

And when ye come into a city, and they receive you, then eat that which is set before you, 9. And heal the sick which are there, and say unto them: The kingdom of God has come near to you.

But if ye enter into any city, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof, and say: 11. Even the dust that clave unto us out of your city, we will smite upon you: but ye shall know that the kingdom of God is nigh unto you.

I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that city.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if such deeds had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done among you, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented in time past.

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell.

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

And the seventy came again with joy, and said: Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in thy name.

And he said unto them: I saw Satan fall from heaven as lightning.

Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

But in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

At that hour rejoiced JEsus in spirit, and said: I praise thee, Father and Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: Yea, Father, it was well pleasing
