94 A blind man receiveth sight. A. D. 32.66 concerning bread, that ye should beware of MW. 16. 6 the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sad“ ducees?” Then understood they how that he 12 bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 22 72. Christ giveth a blind man his sight. Mk. 8. And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the 23 hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he 24 looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon 25 his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. And he 26 sent him away to his house, saying, “ Neither “ go into the town, nor tell it to any in the " town.” 73. Peter repeats his confession that Jesus is the Christ. M". 16. WHEN Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “ Whom “ do men say that I the Son of man am ?” And 14 they said, Some say that thou art John the Bap tist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one * Acts 8.37. of the prophets. He saith unto them, “But 15 “ whom say ye that I am ?"

Jesus foresheweth his death : reproveth Peter, and exhorts all to self-denial. M". 16. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that “the Son of man L. 9. 22 “ must suffer many things, and be rejected of “ the elders and chief priests and scribes, and Mk.8.32 “ be slain, and be raised the third day.” And M". 16. he spake that saying openly. Then Peter took 22 him, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Be it far from thee, Lord : this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, “Get thee Satan : b thou art an offence a See “ unto me: for thou * savourest not the things 22. “ that be of God, but those that be of men." b Rom.8.7.

AND it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray; and was transfigured before them: and MW. 17. his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment 2 was white as the light. And, behold, there L. 9. 30 talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: who appeared in glory, and spake 31 of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and they that were with 32 were awake, they saw his glory, and the two wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 6 b2 Pet. 1. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud M". 17. b the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, • Is. 42 1. in whom I am well pleased; "hear ye him. d a Deut . 18. e And when the disciples heard it, they fell on 6 15, 19. Acts 3.22, their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus 7 22 Pet. 1. came and ftouched them, and said, “Arise, and be not afraid.” And when they had lifted up 8 their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 10.10, 18. And as they came down from the mountain, 9 Jesus charged them, saying, “Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again “ from the dead.” And they kept that saying Mk. 9. with themselves, questioning one with another 10 what the rising from the dead should mean. M". 17. And his disciples asked him, saying, 6 Why 10 17. e e 23 & Mal. 4. 5. 8 h h Acts 3.21. A dumb and deaf spirit cast out. 97 M". 17. then say the scribes that Elias must first come ? A. D. 32 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Elias “ truly shall first come, and restore all things. Mal. 4.6. 12“ But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have “ done unto him whatsoever they listed. Like “ wise shall also the Son of man suffer of them." 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 76. Jesus casts out a dumb and deaf spirit. Mk.9.14 And when he came to his disciples on the L. 9. 37 next day, he saw a great multitude about them, Mk. 9. and the scribes questioning with them. And 14, 15 straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him 16 saluted him. And he asked the scribes, “ What M". 17.“ question ye with them?” And there came to 14, 15 him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and L. 9. 38 saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: (for he is M". 17. mine only child :) for he is lunatick, and sore 15 vexed : for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, L. 9. 39 and oft into the water. And, lo, a spirit taketh Mk. 9. him, and ? teareth him: and he foameth, and 18 gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast 19 him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I 20 “ suffer you? bring him unto me.” And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on 21 the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, “How long is it ago since this “ came unto him ?" And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him : but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and 23 help us. Jesus said unto him, “ If thou canst 2 2 convulseth. D. H 2 98 Jesus foretelleth his sufferings. “ believeth.” And straightway the father of the 24 , “ of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, 20 a 1 Cor. 12.“ a If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer 21 Mk. 9. your ears : for the Son of man shall be deli- 9 ? convulsed.
