Chap. IX.

 

His Twelve also now preaching every where and working miracles. 6. Herod and al doe wonder much. 10. After which, he taketh them and goeth into the wildernesse: where he cureth and teacheth, feeding 5000. with five loaves. 18. Peter confessing him to be Christ, 21. he on the other side foretelleth his Passion, and that al must in time of persecution follow him therein. 27. Whereunto to encourage us the more, 27. he giveth in his Transfiguration a sight of the glorie, which is the reward of suffering. 37. The next day he casteth out a Divel which his Disciples could not. 43. Whom amiddes these wonders he forewarneth againe of his scandalous Passion. 49.

Yea and toward such as be against them Schismatically, to shew mildnes for al that. 57. Of following him, three examples.

And he sought for to see him.

¹⁰And Mt. 14, 13. Mar. 6, 31. Jo. 6, 5.* the Apostles being returned, reported to him whatsoever they did: and taking them he retired apart into a desert place, which belongeth to Beth-saida. ¹¹Which the multitudes understanding, followed him & he received them, and spake to them of the Kingdom of God, and them that had need of cure he healed. ¹²And the day began to draw towards an end.
