saying, Lord, help me.

to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet s the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them :

31 Insomuch that the 8 multitude 8 wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be wholey, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 Then Jesus called his disciples & Mark & L. unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude ?

34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake) them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the 8 multitude 8.

37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

parted into the coasts of Tyre and

out of the same coasts, and cried un-

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no brend.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye 8 have brought ß no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many 2 baskets 2 ye took up?

11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning 8 bread, that ye should beware ẞ of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees ?

14 And when they were come to the
multitude, there came to him a certain
man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for
he is lunatick, and B sore vexed 8: for
ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft
into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples,
and they could not cure him.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O
faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you? how long shall
I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and
he departed out of him: and the child
was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus a-
part, and said, Why could not we cast
him out?

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your Bunbelief ß: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21 8 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting B.

22 And while they abode ẞ in Ga. lilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands

of men:

23 And they shall kill him, and the
third day he shall be raised 8 again.
And they were exceeding sorry.

24 And when they were come to B Ca-
pernaum 8, they that received tributes
money came to Peter, and said, Doth
not your master pay tribute 3?

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was
come into the house, Jesus prevented
him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon?
of whom do the kings of the earth take
custom or tribute of their own chil-
dren, or of strangers ?

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers.
Jesus saith unto him, Then are the chil-
dren free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should of
fend them, go thou to the sea, and
cast an hook, and take up the fish that
first cometh up; and when thou hast
opened his mouth, thou shalt find
piece of money: that take, and give un-
to them for me and thee.

1 Christ warneth his disciples to be humble and
harmless: 7 to aroid offences, and not to de-
spise the little ones: 15 teacheth how we are
to deal with our brethren, when they offend
us: 21 and how oft to forgive them: 3 which
he setteth forth by a parable of the king, that
took account of his servants, 32 and punished
him, who shewed no mercy to his fellow.

How to deal with

AT Tthe same time came the disciples

greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him,
and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Ex-
cept ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into
the kingdom of heaven.

same

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the
is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such
little child 3 in my name 3 receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were
better for him that a 5 millstones were
hanged about his neck, and that he
were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of
6 offences! for fit must needs be that,
offences come; but 9 woe to that man
by whom the 7 offence? cometh!
SWherefore if thy hand or thy foot
offend thee, cut them ẞ off, and cast,
them from thee: it is better for thee to
enter into life halt or maimed, rather
than having two hands or two feet to
be cast into everlasting fire.

6

9 And if thine eye offend thee*, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be

cast into hell fire.
