12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow : and much people of the city was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier (and they thatbarehimstood still) & he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak : and he delivered him to his mother.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they

39. Jesus's answer to the Disciples sent by John the Baptist.

2 *Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,

he sent two of his disciples,

3 And said unto him, Artthouhe that should some, or do we look for another?

18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou hethatshould come, or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another ?

21 And in the same hour, he cured many of theirinfirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits, and unto many that wereblind he gave sight. 22 Then Jesus answering, said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard,

4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John againthosethings which ye do hear &see.

7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind ?

are in king's houses.

9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, And more than a prophet.

24 | And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see ? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see ? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in king's courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet ? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shallprepare thy way before thee.

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptised of him.

31 | And the Lord said,

Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation ? and to what are they like ?

32 They are like unto children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another,

40. Jesus's Reflections in consequence of his Appeal to his mighty Works.

20 | Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein 'most of his mighty works were done, because they re pented not.

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you.
