24. In Galilee Jesus exercises his public min

lay sick at Capernaum. Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, a « The time is ful- . Dan. 9. filled, and the kingdom of God is at hand : Gal

Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. 46
And there was a certain nobleman, whose son
was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that 47
Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he
went unto him, and besought him that he would
come down, and heal his son: for he was at the

point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, 48 1 Cor. 1. 6 € Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will

“ not believe.” The nobleman saith unto him, 49
Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith 50
unto him, “Go thy way; thy son liveth.” And
the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken
unto him, and he went his way. And as he was 51
now going down, his servants met him, and told
him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he 52
of them the hour when he began to amend.
And they said unto him, Yesterday at the se-
venth hour the fever left him. So the father 53
knew that it was at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and him-
self believed, and his whole house. This is again 54
the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judæa into Galilee.

again to the minister, and sat down. And the

eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 21 were fastened on him. And he began to say

unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled 22" in your ears.” And all bare him witness, and

'wondered at the gracious words which pro- • Ps. 45. 2.

synagogue, when they heard these things, were 29 filled with wrath, and rose up, and thrust him

out of the city, and led him unto the brow of

A. D. 31. it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias M". 4. * IX. 9.1, 2. the prophet, saying, *The land of Zabulon, and 15

people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow
of death light is sprung up.
26. The miraculous draught of fishes.

L. 5.
And it came to pass, that, as the people
pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he
stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two 2
ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen
were gone out of them, and were washing their
nets. And he entered into one of the ships, 3
which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would
thrust out a little from the land. And he sat
down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto 4
Simon, “ Launch out into the deep, and let
“ down your nets for a draught.” And Simon 5
answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled
all the night, and have taken nothing: never-
theless at thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a 6
great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which 7
were in the other ship, that they should come
and help them. And they came, and filled both
the ships, so that they began to sink. When 8

Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' a 2 Sam. knees, saying, a Depart from me; for I am a

sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, 9
and all that were with him, at the draught of
the fishes which they had taken: and so was 10
also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee,
which were partners with Simon.

And Jesus said unto them, “Come ye after Mk. 1.
“ me, and I will make you to become fishers of 17
“ men.” And straightway they forsook their 18

19 a little farther thence, he saw James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were
20 in the ship mending their nets. And straight-

way he called them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants,
and went after him.

27. Jesus in the synagogue at Capernaum healeth

one that had a devil. Mk. 1.

And they went into Capernaum; and straight-
way on the sabbath day he entered into the
22 synagogue, and taught. And they were asto-

nished at his 2 doctrine: for he taught them as
one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And there was in their synagogue a man
24 with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, say-

ing, Let us alone; : what have we to do with
thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come

to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the
25 Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him,

saying, “Hold thy peace, and come out of him.” 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and

cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they

questioned among themselves, saying, What
thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for

with authority commandeth he even the un-
28 clean spirits, and they do obey him. And im-

mediately his fame spread abroad throughout
all the region round about Galilee.
