Now it came to pass, when all the people were 21 baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy 22 Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up 6 4 Or, until. 17 to read.

And he began to 21 say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. And all bear him witness, and won- 22 dered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth and they said, Is not this Joseph's son? And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me 23 this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country. And he said, Verily I say unto you, 24' No prophet is acceptable in his own country. But of 25 a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and unto none of them 26 was Elijah sent, but only to 2Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And 27 there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. And they were all filled 28 with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; and they rose up, and cast him forth out of 29 the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them 30 went his way. 4 3 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. 31 And he was teaching them on the sabbath day: and 32 they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority. And in the synagogue there was a 33 3 Gr. demon. man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil; and he cried out with a loud voice, Ah! what have we to do 34 with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold 35 thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt. And amazement 36 1 with au came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority1 Or, this and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and word, that 37 they come out. And there went forth a rumour thority. concerning him into every place of the region round about. 38 And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was holden with a great fever: and they besought him 39 for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them. 40 : come out? And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and 41 healed them. And devils also came out from many, 2 Gr. crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. 42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that 43 he should not go from them.

And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 4 And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a 5 draught. And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy 6 word I will let down the nets. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; 1 Gr. take alive. and their nets were breaking; and they beckoned 7 And 13 And it came to pass, while he was in one of the 12 cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him. And he charged him to 14 tell no man: but go thy way, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
