nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come here to torment us before the time?
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 And he said to them, Go. And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 And they that kept them fled, and went away into the city, and told every thing, and what had befallen to the ones possessed with demons.
34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their region.
CHAP. 9.
And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick with the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick with the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
9 And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the tax office: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat eating in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with tax collectors and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that are well need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they shall fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the tear is made worse. [1]
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. [2]
18 While he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be healed.
22 But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
