Matthew 15 Cross References - ABU

¹ THEN there come to Jesus the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying: ² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. ³ And he answering said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying: Honor thy father and mother; and he that curses father or mother, let him surely die. ⁵ But ye say: Whoever says to his father or his mother, It is a gift, whatever thou mightest be profited with from me, ⁶ shall not honor his father or his mother; and ye made the word of God of no effect, for the sake of your tradition. ⁷ Hypocrites!

And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Dismiss her; because she cries after us. ²⁴ But he answering said: I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ But she came and bowed down to him, saying: Lord, help me. ²⁶ But he answering said: It is not good to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said: Yea, Lord; for the dogs also eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said to her: O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. ²⁹ And departing from thence, Jesus came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up into the mountain, he sat down there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, having with them lame, blind dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at his feet, and he healed them; ³¹ so that the multitudes wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. ³² And Jesus, having called to him his disciples, said: I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I will not dismiss them fasting, lest they faint in the way. ³³ And his disciples say to him: Whence should we have so many loaves in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? ³⁴ And Jesus says to them: How many loaves have ye?

And they took up of the fragments that remained seven baskets full. ³⁸ And they who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. ³⁹ And dismissing the multitudes, he entered into the ship, and came into the borders of Magdala.

¹⁸ For, speaking swelling words of vanity, in lusts of the flesh they allure, by wanton ways, such as partly escape those who live in error;

⁹ Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand, that I spoke not to you of bread? But, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!

⁵² For they considered not the loaves; for their heart was hardened.

¹⁸ And he says to them: Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever from without enters into the man can not defile him?

¹⁷ And Jesus knowing it, says to them: Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? And having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember?

³² But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they knew not the things that were said.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, that world of iniquity! The tongue among our members is that which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of life, and is set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every nature of beasts and birds, of reptiles and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed, by the nature of man. ⁸ But the tongue no man can tame; a restless evil, full of deadly poison. ⁹ Therewith we bless the Lord and Father; and therewith we curse men, who have been made after the likeness of God. ¹⁰ Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

¹⁸ For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to desire is present with me; but to perform that which is good I find not.

⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it does not submit itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it; ⁸ and they that are in the flesh can not please God.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest; which are, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, emulation, wraths, contentions, divisions, factions, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings; and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹ YOU also, being dead in trespasses and sins;— ² in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience; ³ among whom we also all walked in time past in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;—

² to speak evil of no one, to be averse to strife, forbearing, showing all meekness to all men. ³ For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and the love toward man of our Savior God appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the bathing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God can not be tempted with evil, and himself tempts no one. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted, when by his own lust he is drawn away and enticed. ¹⁵ Then lust, having conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when completed, brings forth death.

² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter, but within they are full of rapacity and excess. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! Cleanse first the inside of the cup and the platter, that its outside also may become clean.

³ For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they carefully wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders. ⁴ And coming from the market, except they immerse themselves, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they received to hold, immersions of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

³⁸ And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not first immerse himself before dinner. ³⁹ And the Lord said to him: Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of rapacity and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Fools! Did not he, who made the outside, make the inside also?

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any one defiles the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, the which are ye.

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man commits is without the body; but he that commits fornication, sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom ye have from God, and ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becomes saints, ⁴ and filthiness, and foolish talking, and jesting, which are not becoming, but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For this ye know, being aware that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and defiled with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

²⁷ And there shall not enter into it any thing unclean, or that works abomination or falsehood; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying: Go not into the way to the Gentiles, and into a city of Samaritans enter not. ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²¹ Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the miracles, that were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²² But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. ²³ And thou, Capernaum, that wast exalted to heaven, shalt go down to the underworld. For if the miracles, that were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

²⁴ And rising up he departed thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should know it. And he could not be hidden. ²⁵ For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, hearing of him, came and fell at his feet. ²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter. ²⁷ And he said to her: Let the children first be filled; for it is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. ²⁸ And she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. ²⁹ And he said to her: For this saying go thy way; the demon has gone out of thy daughter. ³⁰ And departing to her house, she found the little child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out.

¹ BOOK of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance; ⁹ and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

²⁴ And his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, taken with divers diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and lunatic, and palsied; and he healed them.

²⁷ And as Jesus passed on from thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying: Have mercy on us, Son of David.

¹⁵ Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and is sorely afflicted; for ofttimes he falls into the fire, and oft into the water.

³⁰ And behold, two blind men sitting by the way-side, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried, saying: Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David. ³¹ And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David.

⁴² saying: What think ye concerning the Christ? Of whom is he the son? They say to him: Of David. ⁴³ He says to them: How then does David, in the Spirit, call him Lord, saying: ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies under thy feet. ⁴⁵ If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?

²⁵ For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, hearing of him, came and fell at his feet. ²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.

¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered him: Teacher, I brought to thee my son, having a dumb spirit. ¹⁸ And wherever it lays hold of him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they could not. ¹⁹ And he answering, says to them: O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him to him. And seeing him, straightway the spirit rent him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. ²¹ And he asked his father: How long is it, since this came upon him? And he said: From a child. ²² And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

¹³ And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God be merciful to me, the sinner.

³⁸ And he called aloud, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. ³⁹ And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried much the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Does the Christ then come out of Galilee? ⁴² Did not the Scripture say, that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

¹⁵ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the time is already passed away; dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

⁴⁷ And hearing that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say: Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me. ⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried all the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁶ And seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.

⁴ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And having found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And coming home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them: Rejoice with me; because I found my sheep which was lost.

²⁵ Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ Unto you first, God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly, and said: It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves not worthy of the eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁸ For I say that Jesus Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision, for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises made to the fathers;

² And, behold, there came a leper and bowed down to him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.

³³ And those in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Of a truth, thou art the Son of God.

³¹ And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David.

²² And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my unbelief.

⁸ I say to you, though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needs. ⁹ I also say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

¹ And he spoke also a parable to them, to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; ² saying: There was in a certain city a certain judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man. ³ And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. ⁴ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, ⁵ yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. ⁶ And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says. ⁷ And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he is long suffering in respect to them? ⁸ I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

⁶ Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine; lest they trample them with their feet, and turn and rend you.

²⁷ And he said to her: Let the children first be filled; for it is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. ²⁸ And she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

²¹ And he said to me: Depart; for I will send thee far hence to the Gentiles. ²² And they heard him unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said: Away with such a one from the earth; for it was not fit that he should live.

⁴ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

¹⁵ We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the Gentiles;

¹² that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.

² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision.

⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

⁸ The centurion answered and said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but only say in a word, and my servant will be healed.

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof. ⁷ Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say with a word, and my servant will be healed.

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him: Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee. ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying: Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man did nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said to Jesus: Remember me, when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴ Far be it! Yea, let God be true and every man a liar; as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words, And mayest overcome when thou art judged.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

²⁹ Is he not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also;

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same is Lord of all, rich toward all that call upon him;

⁸ And last of all he appeared to me also, as the one born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

¹³ who was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and overbearing. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

¹⁰ And Jesus hearing it marveled, and said to those who followed: Verily I say to you, I found not so great faith, even in Israel.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion: Go thy way; and as thou didst believe, be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

²² And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith has made thee whole.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done to you. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, saying: Take heed, let no one know it.

³¹ And immediately Jesus, stretching forth his hand, took hold of him, and said to him: Thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

³⁴ And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace, and be healed of thy plague.

²³ Jesus said to him: If thou art able! All things are possible to the believing. ²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my unbelief.

⁹ And Jesus hearing these things, marveled at him; and turning said to the multitude that followed him: I say to you, I found not so great faith, even in Israel.

⁵⁰ And he said to the woman: Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

⁴² And Jesus said to him: Receive sight; thy faith has made thee whole. ⁴³ And immediately he received sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

⁵⁰ Jesus says to him: Go thy way; thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and brought word saying: Thy child lives. ⁵² He inquired of them, therefore, the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. ⁵³ The father knew, therefore, that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him: Thy son lives. And he himself believed, and his whole house.

¹⁹ And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ And in respect to the promise of God he wavered not through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

³ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another abounds;

¹⁸ And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

¹ AND seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him.

² And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into the ship and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

²⁹ And departing from thence, Jesus came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up into the mountain, he sat down there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, having with them lame, blind dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at his feet, and he healed them; ³¹ so that the multitudes wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁶ And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

³¹ And again going forth out of the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. ³² And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. ³³ And taking him aside from the multitude he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, touched his tongue, ³⁴ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him: Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. ³⁵ And straightway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. ³⁶ And he charged them that they should tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more abundantly they published it; ³⁷ and were beyond measure astonished, saying: He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

¹ AND it came to pass, as the multitude pressed upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

¹ AFTER these things Jesus went away, beyond the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

²³ (but there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, when the Lord had given thanks);

¹ AFTER these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself in this manner.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people. ²⁴ And his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, taken with divers diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and lunatic, and palsied; and he healed them.

⁴ And Jesus answering said to them: Go and report to John what ye hear and see. ⁵ The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are published.

³⁵ And the men of that place, knowing him, sent out into all that country round, and brought to him all that were diseased ³⁶ and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched were made whole.

³² And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those possessed with demons. ³³ And all the city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴ And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

⁵⁴ And when they had come out of the ship, immediately recognizing him ⁵⁵ they ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick, where they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or fields, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were made whole.

¹⁷ and having come down with them, he stood on a plain, and a company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸ and those vexed by unclean spirits were healed; ¹⁹ and all the multitude sought to touch him, because power went out from him and healed them all.

²¹ And in that very hour he cured many, of diseases and plagues, and evil spirits; and on many blind he bestowed sight. ²² And answering he said to them: Go, and report to John what ye saw and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are published.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know;

¹⁵ so that along the streets they brought forth the sick, and laid them on beds and pallets, that, as Peter was passing, the shadow at least might overshadow some one of them. ¹⁶ And the multitude also of the cities around came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and those who were vexed by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

¹¹ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul; ¹² so that also there were carried from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out from them.

⁸ And seeing it the multitudes feared, and glorified God, who gave such power to men.

³³ And the demon being cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying: It was never so seen in Israel.

⁸ But if thy hand or thy foot causes thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire.

¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹² And he arose, and immediately taking up the bed went forth before all; so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying: We never saw it thus.

³⁷ and were beyond measure astonished, saying: He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

⁴³ And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable;

¹⁶ And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

²¹ And the servant came, and reported these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind.

¹⁵ And one of them, seeing that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God, ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said: Were not the ten cleansed? And where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?

⁴³ And immediately he received sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

²⁴ They therefore called a second time the man that was blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

² And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, the one called Beautiful, to ask alms of those entering into the temple; ³ who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked alms. ⁴ And Peter, looking intently upon him, with John, said: Look upon us. ⁵ And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ And Peter said: Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, rise up and walk. ⁷ And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up. And immediately his feet and ankles received strength; ⁸ and leaping forth, he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him walking and praising God; ¹⁰ and they recognized him, that this was he who sat for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. ¹¹ And as he held fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from his mother's womb, who never walked. ⁹ This man was listening to Paul as he spoke; who, fixing his eyes on him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.

³² For after all these do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these shall be added to you.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

¹⁴ And going forth he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and he healed their sick. ¹⁵ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the time is already passed away; dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. ¹⁶ But Jesus said to them: They need not go away; give ye them to eat. ¹⁷ And they say to him: We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. ¹⁸ He said: Bring them hither to me. ¹⁹ And he commanded that the multitudes should lie down on the grass, and took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. ²⁰ And they all ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. ²¹ And they who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁴ And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received sight; and they followed him.

⁶³ saying: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise.

¹ IN those days, there being a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called to him his disciples, and says to them: ² I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; ³ and if I dismiss them fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way; and some of them have come from afar. ⁴ And his disciples answered him: From whence will one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in a wilderness? ⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? And they said: Seven. ⁶ And he commanded the multitude to lie down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. ⁷ And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. ⁸ And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that were left seven baskets. ⁹ And they were about four thousand. And he dismissed them. ¹⁰ And straightway entering into the ship with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.

¹³ And seeing her, the Lord had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.

²⁹ And ye, seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of a doubtful mind. ³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knows that ye have need of these.

³³ And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but who has in all points been tempted in like manner, without sin.

³⁷ He answering said to them: Give ye them to eat. And they say to him: Shall we go and buy two hundred denáries worth of bread, and give them to eat?

⁴ And his disciples answered him: From whence will one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in a wilderness? ⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? And they said: Seven.

¹³ And he said to them: Do ye give them to eat. And they said: We have not more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

⁵ Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to him, says to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered him: Two hundred denáries worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each one may take a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to him: ⁹ There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?

⁹ Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them: Have ye here anything to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.

⁹ When therefore they went out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and a fish lying thereon, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus says to them: Bring of the fishes which ye just now caught.

³⁹ And he commanded them to make all lie down by companies on the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them lie down in companies of fifty. ¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all lie down. ¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁰ Jesus said: Make the men lie down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men lay down, in number about five thousand.

¹⁹ And he commanded that the multitudes should lie down on the grass, and took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took the loaf, and blessed, and broke, and gave to the disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body. ²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink all ye of it.

¹⁷ And having received a cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁹ And taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying: This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

³⁰ And it came to pass, that as he was reclining at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and breaking, gave to them.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to those who were lying down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they desired.

³⁵ And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.

⁶ He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives thanks to God.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from food, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving;

³³ And his disciples say to him: Whence should we have so many loaves in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

⁸ And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that were left seven baskets. ⁹ And they were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.

¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? They say to him: Twelve. ²⁰ And when the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they said: Seven. ²¹ And he said to them: How is it that ye do not understand?

⁵³ The hungry he filled with good, and the rich he sent empty away.

²² And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.

¹⁰ And straightway entering into the ship with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
