erance to the captives, and recovering of fight to the blind,

of Elias, when the heaven was fhut up three years and fix

months, when great famine was throughout all the land:

prophet, saying, the land of Zabulon, and the land of Neph-

thalim, by the way of the fea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the

Gentiles; the people which fat in darkness faw great light;`

and to them which fat in the region and fhadow of death

light is fprung up. From that time Jefus began to preach,

and to fay, repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

And Jefus walking by the sea of Galilee, faw two brethren,

Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, cafting a net

into the fea for they were fishers. And he faith unto them,

follow me, and I will make you fifhers of men. And they

standing, in this rejoice not that the fpirits are fubject unto

thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou

haft, hid thefe things from the wife and prudent, and haft te-

vealed them unto babes: even fo, Father, for fo it feemed

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jefus faith un-

what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

His mother faith unto the fervants, whatsoever he faith unto

you, do it. And there were fet there fix water pots of ftone,

after the manner of the purifying of the Jews; containing

two or three firkins apiece. Jefus faith unto them, fill the

water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim..

And he faith unto them, draw out now, and bear unto the

governor of the feaft. And they bare it. When the ruler

of the feaft had tafted the water that was made wine, and

knew not whence it was, (but the fervants which drew the

water knew) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

and faith unto him, every man at the beginning doth fet

forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that

which is worse; but thou haft kept the good wine until now.

This beginning of miracles did Jefus in Cana of Galilee,

and manifefted forth his glory; and his difciples believed on

him.

Luke, iv. 38-44.-And he arofe out of the fynagogue, and en-

tered in Simon's houfe: and Simon's wife's mother was

taken with a great fever; and they befought him for her.

And he ftood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left

Luther. And, immediately fhe arofe, and miniftered unto them.

Now, when the fun was fetting, all they that had any fick

with divers difeafes brought them unto him: and he laid

his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And

devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, thou

árt Chrift, the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, fuf-

fered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

And when it was day he departed, and went into a desert

place; and the people fought him, and came unto him, and

ftayed him, that he fhould not départ from them. And he

faid unto them, I muft preach the kingdom of God to other

eities alfo; for therefore am I fent. And he preached in

the fynagogues of Galilee.

Jews, forty and fix years was this temple in building, and

wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he fpake of the tem-

Jefus had faid. Now, when he was in Jerufalem at the pas-
