And his disciples approaching, besought him, saying, "Send her away, for she crieth after us." 24 Then he answering, said, "Ied them, "How many loaves 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 answer

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 cured 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.

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 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

13 NOW Jesus coming into the parts of Cesarea in the dominion of Philip, he asked his disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?" 14 And they said, "Some, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But whom say ye that I am?" 16 Simon Peter answering, said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any one will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall gain it. 26 For what has a man profited, if he

14 AND on their coming to the multitude, a man approached him, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15 "Sir, have pity on my son; for he is a lunatic, and grievously suffereth: for often, he falleth into the fire, and often, into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to cure him." 17 Then Jesus answering, said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation,

CH. XVII. 1 NOW, after six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up a high mountain, privately; and was transfigured before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment became white as the light. 3 And, lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 Then Peter, addressing Jesus, said, "Master, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he yet spake, lo! a bright cloud overshadow-how long shall I be with you? ed them and, lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased hear ye him." 6 And the disciples hearing this, fell on their face, and feared greatly. 7 And Jesus approaching, touched them, and said, "Arise, and fear not." 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only. 9 And on their coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one, until the

how long shall I endure you ? Bring him hither to me.' 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon departed from him; and the child was cured from that hour.

19 Then the disciples approaching Jesus, privately, said, "Why could not we cast him out?" 20 And Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustardseed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence, yonder,'

22 DURING their abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men; 23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised." And they were much grieved.

4 Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this child, he is the greatest in the reign of heaven. 5 And whosoever shall receive one such child, in my name, receiveth me. 6 But whosoever shall insnare one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that an upper mill-stone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

24 AND on their coming to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmat came to Peter, and said, "Doth 7" Alas for the world on acnot your master pay the di- count of snares! for it must drachma?" 25 He said, "Yes." needs be that snares come; but Being come into the house, Je- alas for that man by whom the sus spake before him, saying, snare cometh! 8 But if thy "What thinkest thou, Simon ? hand, or thy foot, insnare thee, from whom do the kings of the cut them off and cast them earth take tribute, or custom? from thee: it is better for thee from their own sons, or from to enter into life lame, or maimstrangers?" 26 [Peter] said to ed, than, having two hands or him, "From strangers."

10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I tell you, that their angels in heaven, continually behold the face of my heavenly Father. 11
