33 He spake to them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and mixed with three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

24 He put forth to them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field: 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sow-spake to the multitudes in para

36 THEN [Jesus] sent away the multitude, and went into a house: and his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field; 37 And he answering said to them, "He who soweth the good seed is the Son of man and the field is the world: and the good seed are the sons of the kingdom: and the darnel are the sons of the evil one: and 29 the enemy that sowed them : and the harvest is the end of the age: and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the darnel are gathered up, and burnt in the fire; so will it be in the end of [this] age: 41 the Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the causes of offence,

and will cast them into a furnace of fire: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 44 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field; which when a man hath found, he keepeth it secret, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, seeking goodly pearls: 46 who, having found one very costly pearl, went and sold all all that he had and bought it. 47" Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, that inclosed fishes of every kind: 48 which, when it was filled, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So will it be in the end of the age: the angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will cast them into a furnace of fire: there will be weeping, and gnashing of teeth." 51 [Jesus said to them,] "Understand ye all these things?" They answered him, "Yes [Master]." 52 Then he said to them, "Therefore every scribe, instructed in the reign of heaven, is like a householder, who bringeth forth, out of his store-house, things new and old."

53 And it came to pass that,

54 AND being come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue; so that they were amazed, and said, "Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 and are not all his sisters with us? Whence therefore hath this man all these things?" 57 And they were confounded at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house." 58 And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

CH. XIV. 1 AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus; 2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works are wrought by him."

3 (For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. 4 For John had said to him "It is not lawful for thee to have her." 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they accounted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. 7 Upon which he promised with an oath to give her whatever

And his disciples came and took up the body, and buried it: and went and told Jesus). 13 And when Jesus heard of it, he with-ing, he was yet there, alone. 24 drew from thence by ship into a desert place privately: and when the people heard of it, they followed him by land from

the cities.

14 AND [Jesus] went out, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and cured their sick. 15 And in the evening, his disciples came to him, saying, "This is a desert place, and the day is now advanced; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food." 16 But Jesus said to them, "They need not go give ye them to eat." 17 And they said to him, "We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.” 18 And he said, "Bring them hither to me."

19 And commanding the multitudes to place themselves on the grass, he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed God, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples; and the disciples

22 AND immediately he compelled the disciples to get into a ship, and go before him to the other side, until he sent away the multitudes. 22 And having sent the multitudes away, he retired by himself to a mountain to pray and in the even

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And the disciples seeing him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is an apparition:" and they cried out through fear. 27 But Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, "Take courage: it is I; be not afraid." 28 And Peter answering him, said, "Master, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water." 29 And he said, "Come." Then Peter went down out of the ship, and walked on the water, that he might go to Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Master, save me." 31 And Jesus immediately stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him, “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt ?" 32 And on

34 AND having passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And the men of that place knowing him again, they sent into all that country round about, and brought to him all the diseased; 36 and they besought him that they might only touch the tuft of his mantle and as many as touch-ery plant which my heavenly ed were perfectly cured.

And his disciples approaching, besought him, saying, "Send her away, for she crieth after us." 24 Then he answering, said, "I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25 Then she came and did him obeisance, saying, "Sir, help me." 26 But he answering said, "It is not right to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs." 27 And she said, "True, Sir: and yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their Master's

table." 28 Then Jesus answering said to her, "Woman! great is thy faith: be it unto thee as thou desirest." And her daughter was cured from that hour.

29 AND Jesus departing thence, came near the sea of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there. 30 And great multitudes flocked to him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them down at Jesus' feet: and he Icured them: 31 so that the multitudes wondered, when they perceived that the dumb spake, the maimed were whole, the lame walked, and the blind saw: and they glorified the God of Israel.

35 And he commanded the multitudes to place themselves on the ground. 36 When taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up that which remained of the fragments, seven baskets full. 38 Now they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And he sent away the multitudes, and went into a ship, and came into the borders of Magdala.

CH. XVI. 1 THE Pharisees, and Sadducees, also, came; and, trying Jesus, desired him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 And he answering said to them, "When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red;' 3 and in the morning,' It will be stormy weather to-day, for the sky is red and lowering.' [Hypocrites!] ye know how to discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4
