Then they went out to see what was done ; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of 'Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 They also which saw it, told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils 37 was healed. Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them ; for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship, and 38 returned back again. "Now the man out of whom the devils were departed, be sought him that he might be 39 with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying ; Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus had done unto him. And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him ; for they were all waiting for him. 40 MARK V. ed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him ; and he was nigh unto the sea.

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea, and Jerusalem ; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 And behold, men brought in a bed, a man which was taken with a palsy; and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before 19 him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let hiin down through the tiling with his couch, into the 20 midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith he said ; Man, thy sins are for21 given thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying ; Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? who can forgive sins but 22 God alone? But when Je sus perceived their thoughts, he, "answering, said unto them; What reason ye in 23 your hearts? Whether is easier ? to say ; Thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say ; MATTHEW IX.

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying ; We never saw it on this fashion. And as Jesus passed forth. 13 And he went forth again from thence, he saw a man, by the sea-side ; and all the named Matthew, sitting at multitude resorted unto him, the receipt of custom ; and 14 and he taught them.
