You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider!

I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough.

JOHN TAYLOR,\n\nWHO \"THINKS HE MIGHT PASS AS A DORMOUSE!\" (\nTHREE YEARS IN BED AND NEVER A GRUMBLE!)\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE TALE OF GINGER & PICKLES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\n_Author of \"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n[Illustration]\n\nFREDERICK WARNE\n\n\n\n\n\n1909 by Frederick Warne & Co.\n\nPrinted and bound in Great Britain by\n", "William Clowes Limited, Beccles and London\n\n\n\n\n[Illustration]\n\nOnce upon a time there was a village shop. The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Miss Moppet, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

JEREMY FISHER\n\nBY\nBEATRIX POTTER\n\n\n_Author of_\n_\"The Tale of Peter Rabbit,\" &c._\n\n\n\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.\nNEW YORK\n\n\n\n\nCOPYRIGHT,", " 1906\nBY\nFREDERICK WARNE & CO\n\n\n\nFOR\nSTEPHANIE\nFROM\nCOUSIN B.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a\nlittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.\n\nThe water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.\n\nBut Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he\nnever caught a cold!\n\n\nHe was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain,\nsplashing in the pond--\n\n\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my\ndinner,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I will\ninvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The\nAlderman, however, eats salad.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his\nrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept\nhis boat.\n\nThe boat was round and green, and very like the other lily-leaves.", " It was\ntied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.\n\nMr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat out into open water. \"I\nknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nMr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.\n\nThen he settled himself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. He\nhad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, his\nline was a fine long white horse-hair, and he tied a little wriggling worm\nat the end.\n\nThe rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the\nfloat.\n\n\"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch,\" said Mr.\nJeremy Fisher.\n\nHe punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out of\nhis basket.\n\n\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich, and wait till the shower is over,\" said\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nA great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked the\ntoe of one of his goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eating\nhis sandwich.\n\nOnce or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst\n", "the rushes at the side of the pond.\n\n\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had better\nget away from here.\"\n\nMr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the\nbait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous\nbobbit!\n\n\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher,\njerking up his rod.\n\nBut what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy\nlanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!\n\nThe stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he\nwas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.\n\nAnd a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at\nMr. Jeremy Fisher.\n\nAnd while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking\nhis sore fingers and peering down into the water--a _much_ worse thing\nhappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had\nnot been wearing a macintosh!\n\nA great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p!", " with a splash--and\nit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned and\ndived down to the bottom of the pond!\n\nBut the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in\nless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it\nswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.\n\nMr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the\nbubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the\nedge of the pond.\n\nHe scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across\nthe meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.\n\n\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lost\nmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should\nnever have dared to go fishing again!\"\n\nHe put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came to\ndinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something else in his\nlarder.\n\nSir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,\n\nAnd Mr.", " Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a string\nbag.\n\nAnd instead of a nice dish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopper\nwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_\nthink it must have been nasty!\n\n\nTHE END\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment.

He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

The name over the window was\n\"Ginger and Pickles.\"\n\nIt was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane\nDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.\n\nThe counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and\nPickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.\n\nThey also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.\n\nIn fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly\neverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,\nhair-pins and mutton chops.\n\nGinger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow\ntom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.\n\nThe rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of\nGinger.\n\nGinger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made\nhis mouth water.\n\n\"I cannot bear,\" said he, \"to see them going out at the door carrying\n", "their little parcels.\"\n\n\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it would\nnever do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha\nTwitchit's.\"\n\n\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.\n\n(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not\ngive credit.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.\n\nNow the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap,\ninstead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says\nshe will pay another time.\n\nAnd Pickles makes a low bow and says, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it is\nwritten down in a book.\n\nThe customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being\nafraid of Ginger and Pickles.\n\nBut there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially\nthe toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for\nas much as a pennyworth of peppermints.\n\nBut the sales were enormous,", " ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat\ntheir own goods.\n\nPickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock.\n\nThey ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable\nto buy a dog licence.\n\n\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,\nand neither does Kep, the Collie dog.\"\n\n\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried\nin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" said Pickles.\n\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\n\n\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9\nfor bacon.\"\n\n\"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream\ncrackers?\"\n\n\"You have eaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.\n\nThey did accounts.", " They added up sums and sums, and sums.\n\n\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an\nounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\n\n\"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and\nfour matches?\"\n\n\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been\npushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an\nenvelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book!\n\nPickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\n\n\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel,\n\"he's only a German doll!\"\n\nThe policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in\nhis mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle.\n\nPickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.\nHe had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAt length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.\nThe policeman had disappeared.\n\nBut the envelope remained.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman?", " I am afraid\nit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\n\n\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the rates and\ntaxes, \u00c2\u00a33 19 11-3/4.\"\n\n\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"\n\nThey put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the\nneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nGinger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;\nhe looks stout and comfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nPickles is at present a gamekeeper.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit\nimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued\nto refuse to give credit.\n\nOf course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and\nTimothy Baker.\n\nBut a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake and\nbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAfter a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints\n", "and candles.\n\nBut they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and it takes five mice to\ncarry one seven inch candle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBesides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm\nweather.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought\nback to her with complaints.\n\nAnd when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would\nsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retail\nbusiness.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster\nto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!\nGrand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come\nbuy!\"\n\nThe poster really was most 'ticing.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThere was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with\ncustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.\n\nSally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out\nchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.\n\nThere is something to please everybody.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles,", " by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team.\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,\nleading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the\nroots of the hedge.\n\n[Illustration: In the pantry]\n\n[Illustration: In bed]\n\nThere was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.\n\nAlso, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little\nbox bed!\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,\nalways sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.\n\nSometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\n\n\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her\ndust-pan.\n\n[Illustration: Shooing a beetle]\n\n[Illustration: A ladybird]\n\nAnd one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\n\n\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your\nchildren!\"\n\nAnother day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\n\n\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\n\n\"", "Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice\nclean house!\"\n\n[Illustration: Spider]\n\n[Illustration: Out the window]\n\nShe bundled the spider out at a window.\n\nHe let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch\ncherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.\n\nAll along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\n\n\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I\nam sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.\"\n\n[Illustration: Marks of little feet]\n\n[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]\n\nSuddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"\nsaid the bumble bee.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a\nbroom.\n\n\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But\nwhat are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and\nsay Zizz, Bizz,", " Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\n\n\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She\nsidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been\nused for acorns.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom\nought to have been empty.\n\nBut it was full of untidy dry moss.\n\n[Illustration: Full of moss]\n\n[Illustration: Bees nest]\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees\nput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\n\n\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!\" said\nMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!\nBuzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"\n\n--\"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.\n\nWhen she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat\nvoice; and there sat Mr.", " Jackson himself!\n\nHe was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and\nsmiling, with his feet on the fender.\n\nHe lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.\n\n[Illustration: Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\n\n\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!\"\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and\ndry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs.\nTittlemouse went round with a mop.\n\nHe sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some\ndinner?\n\nFirst she offered him cherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.\nTittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a\ntooth in his head.\n\n[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson]\n\n[Illustration: Thistledown]\n\nThen she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!", " Pouff,\npouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the\nroom.\n\n\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I\nreally--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\n\n\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" said the smiling Mr.\nJackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"\n\nMr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the\ncupboards.\n\nMrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet\nfootmarks off the parlour floor.\n\n[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks]\n\n[Illustration: Walking down the passage]\n\nWhen he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,\nhe began to walk down the passage.\n\n\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"\n\nFirst he squeezed into the pantry.\n\n\"Tiddly,", " widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"\n\nThere were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of\nthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.\n\n[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people]\n\n[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar]\n\nThen he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;\nbut she flew away out of the window.\n\n\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of\nvisitors!\"\n\n\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.\n\nThey went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddly widdly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"\n\nHe met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down\nagain.\n\n\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\" said Mr.\nJackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\n\n\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\n\n\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\n[Illustration: Confronting the Bee]\n\n[Illustration:", " Shut into the nut-cellar]\n\nShe shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the\nbees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.\n\nWhen Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.\n\nBut the untidiness was something dreadful--\"Never did I see such a\nmess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and\nlittle dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!\"\n\nShe gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.\n\nThen she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front\ndoor.\n\n\"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!\"\n\n[Illustration: Closing up the front door]\n\n[Illustration: Too tired]\n\nShe fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the\nstoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep\nin her chair, and then she went to bed.\n\n\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse.\n\nNext morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which\nlasted a fortnight.\n\nShe swept, and scrubbed,", " and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture\nwith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.\n\n[Illustration: Polishing]\n\nWhen it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five\nother little mice, without Mr. Jackson.\n\nHe smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at\nthe door.\n\n[Illustration: The party]\n\n[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window]\n\nSo they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,\nand he was not at all offended.\n\nHe sat outside in the sun, and said--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet.\nPresently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner\n", "near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.\n\nTom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.\n\nTom Thumb was a mouse.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and\nwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on\nthe oilcloth under the coal-box.\n\nTHE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb\nand Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the\nfront door--it was not fast.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the\ndining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!\n\nSuch a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin\nspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_\nconvenient!\n\nTOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful\nshiny yellow, streaked with red.\n\nThe knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\n\n\"It is not boiled enough;", " it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another\nlead knife.\n\n\"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.\n\nTHE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\n\n\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish, Hunca Munca!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the\ndish.\n\nThen Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the\nfloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,\nsmash, smash!\n\nThe ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shiny paint it was\nmade of nothing but plaster!\n\nTHEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb and\nHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the\noranges.\n\nAs the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot\ncrinkly paper fire in the kitchen;", " but it would not burn either.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--there\nwas no soot.\n\nWHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney, Hunca Munca had another\ndisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,\nlabelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upside down,\nthere was nothing inside except red and blue beads.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief they\ncould--especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of\ndrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.\n\nBut Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out\nof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a\nfeather bed.\n\nWITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried the bolster downstairs, and\nacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the\nmouse-hole; but they managed it somehow.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case,", " a\nbird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-case and the\nbird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.\n\nHUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHUNCA MUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly there\nwas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed back\nto their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery.\n\nWHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!\n\nLucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant\nagainst the kitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made any\nremark.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from under the\ncoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda's\nclothes.\n\nSHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several other things.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTHE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will get\na doll dressed like a policeman!\"\n\nBUT the nurse said,--\"I will set a mouse-trap!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,", "--but they were not so very\nvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything he broke.\n\nHe found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas\nEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda\nand Jane.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Munca\ncomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep the Dollies' house!\n\n THE END.\n\n\n\n PRINTED BY\n EDMUND EVANS,\n THE RACQUET COURT PRESS,\n LONDON, S.E.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Two Bad Mice, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE ***\n\n***** This file should be named 45264.txt or 45264.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/2/6/45264/\n\nProduced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed\nProofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was\nproduced from images generously made available by The\n", "Internet Archive)\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\none owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

His\nmother sewed them on again.\n\nWhen the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out\ninto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\n\n\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.\nKeep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the\npig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMoppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they\ntrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.\n\nWhen they stood up there were several green smears!\n\n\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.\n\nThey turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a\njump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nTom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in\ntrousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns,", " and\nshedding buttons right and left.\n\nHe was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.\n\nMoppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the\nrest of his buttons burst.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the\nthree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the\nother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!\n\nThey stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had\nvery small eyes and looked surprised.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the\nhat and tucker and put them on.\n\nMittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended\nafter her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the\nway down.\n\n\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dress\nhim! Come and button up Tom!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr.", " Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up\nthe various articles.\n\nBut he put them on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\n\n\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping\nstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!\n\nThen Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the\nwall with no clothes on.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the\nhouse.\n\n\"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am\naffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.\n\nShe sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that\nthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nQuite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in the least.\n\nSomehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head,", " which disturbed\nthe dignity and repose of the tea party.\n\nAnd I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to\ntell you more about Tom Kitten!\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.\n\nThe clothes all came off directly, because there were no buttons.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking for\nthem ever since.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter\n\n*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ***\n\n***** This file should be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\n http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/\n\nProduced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online\nDistributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net).\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN\n\n[Illustration]\n\nIt is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"\n\n_I_", " have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am not a\nrabbit.\n\nThey certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!\n\nWhen Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco!

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfProject Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

They had a\nlarge family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.\n\nI do not remember the separate names of their children; they were\ngenerally called the \"Flopsy Bunnies.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAs there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrow\ncabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kept a nursery garden.\n\nSometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a rubbish\nheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.\n\nMr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paper\nbags, and mountains of chopped grass from the mowing machine (which always\ntasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.\nOne day--oh joy!--there were a quantity of overgrown lettuces,", " which had\n\"shot\" into flower.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,\nthey were overcome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.\n\nBenjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleep\nhe was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to keep\noff the flies.\n\nThe little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From the\nlawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing\nmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mouse\npicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.\n\n(I can tell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, a\nwoodmouse with a long tail.)\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe rustled across the paper bag, and awakened Benjamin Bunny.\n\nThe mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.\n\nWhile she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, they heard a\nheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out a\nsackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping Flopsy Bunnies!\nBenjamin shrank down under his paper bag.", " The mouse hid in a jam pot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under the shower of\ngrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.\n\nThey dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.\n\nMr. McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny little\nbrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at them\nfor some time.\n\nPresently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.\n\nMr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\n\n\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" said he as he dropped\nthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother was\nturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but still\nthey did not wake up.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.\n\nHe went to put away the mowing machine.\n\nWhile he was gone, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) came\nacross the field.\n\nShe looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the mouse came out of her jam pot,", " and Benjamin took the paper bag\noff his head, and they told the doleful tale.\n\nBenjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could not undo the string.\n\nBut Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in the\nbottom corner of the sack.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them.\n\nTheir parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,\nan old blacking-brush and two decayed turnips.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried it off.\n\nHe carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.\n\nThe Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe watched him go into his house.\n\nAnd then they crept up to the window to listen.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would\nhave been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to\nhave been inside it.\n\nThey could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\n\n\"One,", " two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.\nMcGregor.\n\n\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.\nMcGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\n\n\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\n\n\"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.\n\n(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)\n\nMrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. She said she could feel\nsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and all\ndifferent shapes.\n\n\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak.\"\n\n\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buy\nmyself baccy!\"\n\n\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nMrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.\n\nWhen she felt the vegetables she became very very angry.", " She said that Mr.\nMcGregor had \"done it a purpose.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flying\nthrough the kitchen window, and hit the youngest Flopsy Bunny.\n\nIt was rather hurt.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo Mr. McGregor did not get his tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get her\nrabbit skins.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enough\nrabbit-wool to make herself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and a\npair of warm mittens.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\n\n\nTHE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIES\n\nBY BEATRIX POTTER\n\nF.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

He lived in that happy place with God. Then God made the\nworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas to\nrun down into the deep places which He had made for them. He made the\ngrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, the\nmoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimming\nfish, the air with flying birds, and the dry land with walking and\ncreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who were\nmeant by 'Us'? Who was with God when He made the world? It was Jesus.\nThe Bible says:\n\n'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE\nSAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'\n\nSo after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named him\nAdam. God put Adam into the beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first he\nwas good and very happy. God also made a woman,", " named Eve, to be his\nwife, and to help him to take care of the garden. All the fruit in the\ngarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;\nall the animals were their servants; and God was their Friend.\n\nA wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adam\nand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as bad\nand unhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not to\ndo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their children\nwill be my servants for ever, and I shall be king of the world.'\n\nSo the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adam\nand Eve to take the fruit which God had told them not to eat, and God\nhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He would\npunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God always keeps His\nword.\n\nBut God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He must\npunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,\n'I will send My dear Son down to the earth.", " He shall become a little\nchild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of the\nworld.'\n\nHundreds and hundreds of years passed away before Jesus came. But a\ngreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.\nGod had said that when Jesus came, He would be a Jew. The Jews were\nvery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.\nWhen they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.\n\nJust before Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiers\nhad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made them\nservants of the great Roman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, and\nhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.\n\n[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time of Christ.]\n\nThe Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It will\nbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight against\nthe Romans; He will drive them away from our land; and then He will be\nour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews remembered\nthat Jesus was coming to fight against Satan and against sin.\n\nThe place where the Jews lived had four or five names.", " It was called\nthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, and then the\nLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.\n\nIf you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running from\nthe north of Palestine to the south. That river is called the Jordan.\nAnd Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call that\nthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south), one in the\nmiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.\n\nThe part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south is\ncalled Judaea. The part in the middle is called Samaria. The part on\nthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.\n\nPalestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in their\nsides. Palestine is not very big; England is about six times, and New\nYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capital\nof the United States. The capital of Palestine was Jerusalem.\n\nJerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or five\nhills which were very close together.", " One of these hills was called\nMount Moriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Temple\nwhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the Holy\nPlace, the part at the very top of the mountain. It was splendid with\nits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for the\npeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was time for the Jews\nto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, three\ntimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded into\nthe courts.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II\n\nJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM\n\nMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, among\nthe hills of Galilee. She was going to be married to a carpenter\ncalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sent\nthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw and heard\nthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had some\nglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming into\n", "the world very soon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, as\nMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary must\ncall Him JESUS.\n\nMary had a cousin named Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred miles\naway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all these\nwonderful things. So she got ready for a long journey, and went off\ninto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.\n\nAnd God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon after\nMary's visit the baby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,\nand came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.\n\nThe little Jew babies have a name given to them when they are eight\ndays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.\n\nOne night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,\nthe angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel told\nJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son of\nGod coming to earth as her little child, and he said to Joseph, 'THOU\nSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS,", " FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR\nSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thought was to do what the angel\nhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.\n\nAbout this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sent word\nto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's name\nhad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.\nEvery twenty years Augustus had a census taken, so that he might know\nhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers he\nought to have.\n\nIn Palestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where their\nfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names put\ndown there instead of having them put down in their own homes. Now,\nboth Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,\nwho was born in Bethlehem. So Mary had to prepare for a long journey,\nand go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles from\nJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climb up a\nsteep road to get into the town.\n\nAn inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.\nThe inns in Palestine have four walls,", " with a door in front, and with a\ngreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of the\nempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higher\nthan the part where the animals are, there are a number of places like\nempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and they\nare open in front, so that everybody can see into them. Yet Mary and\nJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find even\nan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care.]\n\nNear that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.\nIt was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there was\nno room for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stable\nto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Him\nin swaddling clothes, and laid Him in the manger in the place where the\nanimals' food was kept.\n\nOn the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places where\nshepherds feed their flocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; and\n", "all night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harm\nhappened to their sheep. One night an angel of the Lord stood by them\nand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;\nbut the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS (OR\nNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN\nTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'\nAnd suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels of\nheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,\nAND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'\n\nWhen the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone back\ninto heaven, the shepherds climbed quickly over the hillside to\nBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary and\nJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, as the angels had said.\n\nJesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewish\n", "houses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple, and\ngiven to God.\n\nSo now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought from\nBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem. The mothers\nused to take a lamb with them, or two pigeons, as a sacrifice to God.\nMary took two pigeons. She was not rich enough to buy a lamb.\n\nA long way on the eastern side of the Jordan, there were countries\nwhere the people used to watch the sun and the moon and the stars very\ncarefully. If they saw anything new and strange in the heavens, they\nthought it meant that something wonderful was going to happen. But\nsome of them knew and had heard from the Jews about God, and about the\nMessiah who was coming; and they, like the Jews, were longing for Jesus.\n\nOne day these wise men saw a bright star which they had never seen\nbefore. And as they looked at it they felt sure that a great King of\nthe Jews had been born in Judaea. So they took camels and rich\npresents of gold and sweet-smelling stuff--such as people gave to kings\nin those days--and they loaded their camels,", " and left their homes, and\nrode for many weeks till they came to Jerusalem. And when they got\nthere they said, 'Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we\nhave seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.'\n\n[Illustration: Bethlehem.]\n\nWhen Herod heard about these wise men he was troubled. He sent for the\nbest priests, and other clever men, and asked them where Christ would\nbe born. And they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judaea.' They had\nread that in the Bible. Then Herod said to the wise men, 'Go and\nsearch out carefully about the young Child; and when ye have found Him,\nbring me word, that I also may come and worship Him.'\n\nWhen the wise men had heard the king, they went away to Bethlehem, and\nlo, the star went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung Child was. And they rejoiced with great joy. And when they were\ncome into the house (there was room in the inn now) they saw the young\nChild with Mary, His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him, and\nthey gave Him their presents--gold,", " and frankincense, and myrrh. But\nthe wise men did not go back to Herod. God told them in a dream not to\ngo. So they went home by another way instead.\n\nAfter the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in\nhis sleep, and said to him, 'Arise, and take the young Child and His\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' That meant to\nkill Him. So Joseph at once got up, and took the young Child and His\nmother by night, and went away to Egypt.\n\nWhen Herod found that the wise men did not come back, he was very\nangry, and he sent his soldiers to Bethlehem, and had all the baby boys\nkilled--all the children who were less than two years of age. And they\nkilled all the baby boys in the places near Bethlehem as well. And the\npoor mothers cried, and nobody could comfort them.\n\nJoseph and Mary stayed in Egypt, waiting for the angel to bring them\nword that it was time to go back again to Palestine. And one night,\nwhen Jesus was about three years old,", " the message came. The angel of\nthe Lord said to Joseph in a dream, 'Arise, and take the young Child\nand His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which\nsought the young Child's life.' Joseph got up, and took the young\nChild and His mother, and went into the land of Israel. But when he\ncame there, people said to him, 'Herod is dead, but his son Archelaus\nis king.' And when Joseph knew that Archelaus was king, he was afraid\nto stay in Judaea. And God spoke to him again in a dream, and told him\nto go back to Galilee. So Joseph and Mary went back to Galilee, and\nlived in Nazareth again.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER III\n\nTHE BOYHOOD OF JESUS\n\nThe Bible tells us only a few stories about the time when Jesus was a\nlittle boy.\n\nNazareth is built up the side of a hill, and there are plenty of\ngardens and fields down below. Amongst these fields there is a\nfountain, where the women of Nazareth go to fetch water. Jesus must\noften have gone with His mother to that fountain;", " and sometimes, when\nshe was tired, He may have fetched the water for her Himself.\n\n[Illustration: Nazareth, from hill above.]\n\nMary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with\npieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and\nshoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very\nlikely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours,\nand a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are\ndressed now.\n\nThe houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls,\nand doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the\nhouses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the\nmiddle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are\nbright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night\nand lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a\nbright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool;\nand that is nearly all.\n\n[Illustration:", " Jewish women grinding corn.]\n\nWhen the people of the house want to eat, they put a tray of food on\nthe wooden stool, and they sit round the tray on the floor, and eat\nwith their hands. People in Palestine would not know what to do with\ntables and chairs, and knives and forks, like ours.\n\nThe streets of Nazareth are long and narrow, and they are full of\nchickens and dogs, of donkeys and camels, of blind beggars and\nchildren. There are little shops by the side of the streets, something\nlike the _leewans_ in the inn which I told you about. But the tailors,\nthe shoemakers, the carpenters, and the coffee-grinders do not always\nsit in their shops. They like to sit on the ground outside, and do\ntheir work in the street; and the sellers of dates and of figs, beans,\nbarley, oranges, and other things, sit down in the street to sell their\ngoods.\n\nJoseph, Mary's husband, was a carpenter, and Jesus became a carpenter,\nand often came out of the little shop and sat on the ground with plane,\nhammer, glue, and saw,", " and worked away in the narrow street, just as\nthe carpenters of Nazareth do now.\n\nWhen the Jewish boys were twelve years old, they were called 'Sons of\nthe Law,' and they were taken to Jerusalem for the Passover. When\nJesus was twelve years old, Joseph and His mother took Him up with them\nto the Passover. When the week was over, Mary and Joseph started for\nthe journey back to Nazareth. But Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.\nThousands of people must have been leaving Jerusalem just at the very\ntime that Mary and Joseph went away. So when Mary and Joseph did not\nsee Jesus in the crush, they did not at first feel frightened. They\nthought, 'We shall find Him soon with some of our friends.' All day\nlong they kept on looking for Him in the crowd, but they did not see\nHim. And at last they went back again to Jerusalem looking for Him.\n\nNext day they found Him in one of the courts of the Temple. Several\nRabbis were there, and everyone who saw and heard Him was astonished.\nThey asked Him questions too, and He answered them wisely and well.\nNobody could understand how a young boy could be so wise.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph saw Jesus sitting here,", " with Rabbis coming all\naround Him, they were greatly surprised. But His mother asked Him why\nHe had stayed behind, and said, 'Thy father and I have sought Thee\nsorrowing.' Jesus said to His mother, 'HOW IS IT THAT YE HAVE SOUGHT\nME? WIST YE NOT (DID YOU NOT KNOW) THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S\nBUSINESS?'\n\nAnd now He went back with her and with Joseph to Nazareth, and obeyed\nthem, exactly as He always had done. We do not know much more about\nJesus when He was a boy. But we do know that as He grew taller, He\n'increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV\n\nJOHN THE BAPTIST\n\nYou remember about the child that was called John. Zacharias, his\nfather, and Elisabeth gave John to God directly he was born. They\nnever cut his hair, and they never let him drink wine, or eat grapes,\nor eat raisins. That was the way they did in those days to show that\nhe belonged to God.\n\nWhen John was old enough to understand, he gave himself to God.", " And as\nhe grew older, he made up his mind that he would leave his home and\nfriends, and go and live in the wilderness; and his food there was\nlocusts and wild honey. Locusts are like large grasshoppers, and poor\npeople in the East often eat them. They taste like shrimps, but are\nnot so nice.\n\nGod had said that John should go before the Messiah to prepare the way\nfor Him--to get people's hearts ready for the Saviour. And when John\nwas in the wilderness, God told him to begin his work. So John went\ndown from the wild hills of Judaea to the River Jordan, and he began to\npreach to everyone who passed by. There were many people passing by,\nfor he went to the place where people crossed the Jordan.\n\n[Illustration: The River Jordan.]\n\nJohn said, REPENT!' (that means, 'Be really sorry for your sins'), 'FOR\nTHE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is AT HAND.' A very great many people went from\nJerusalem, and out of all the land of Judaea, on purpose to hear John\npreaching. And when they had heard him,", " some of them said to him,\n'What shall we do then?' And John told them that they were to be kind\nto one another; that they were to give food to the hungry and clothing\nto the naked.\n\nSome even of the proud Rabbis came down to the Jordan to John, and John\ntold these Rabbis that they must not be proud because they were Jews,\nbut must try to be good really and truly.\n\nA great many of the people who heard John preach felt sorry for the\nthings they had done, and they told John how sorry they were, and John\nbaptized them in the River Jordan. John told the people that he could\nonly baptize their bodies with water, but that some one else was coming\nwho would be able to baptize their hearts with the Holy Spirit. This\nwas Jesus.\n\n[Illustration: Jericho, from plains above.]\n\nAfter John had baptized a great many persons, he saw coming to him, one\nday, for baptism, a Man about thirty years old; and when John looked at\nHim, he saw that He was quite different from all the people who had\nbeen to him before. It was Jesus who had come to be baptized before He\n", "began His work. He wanted to obey God in everything; and He wanted to\nshow that He was the Brother and Friend of all the people whom John had\nbeen baptizing. And so, as Jesus wished it, John went into the River\nJordan with Him and baptized Him.\n\nWhen Jesus had been baptized, and was full of the Holy Spirit, He went\naway into a wilderness. And there, when Jesus was tired and hungry,\nSatan came to Him--just as he came to Adam and Eve in the Garden of\nEden--to tempt Him.\n\nTo tempt means to try. Mother tries you sometimes, to see whether you\ncan be trusted; and God tries us all sometimes. But if God tries us,\nit is to make us better; and if Satan tries us, it is to make us worse.\n\nEvery time that Jesus was tempted, He said, 'It is written,' and then\nHe told Satan something 'which was written in the Bible. That is the\nvery best way to fight Satan. The Bible is called 'the Sword of the\nSpirit,' and Satan is afraid when he sees us using that Sword. Let us\nask God to fill us, like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,", " and then we shall\nsoon learn how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and we too shall be able\nto drive Satan away when he comes to tempt us.\n\nOnly we must be sure to read the Bible, as Jesus used to do, or else we\nshall never be able to drive Satan away by telling him the things that\nGod has written there.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V\n\nJESUS BEGINS HIS WORK\n\nOne day, when the fight of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness was\nover, He came to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and when John saw\nJesus coming towards him, he said:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.'\n\nThe next day John saw Jesus again, and again he said the same words:\n\n'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!'\n\nJohn called Jesus the Lamb of God, because He had come to die for our\nsins.\n\nTwo men were standing close to John when Jesus came by, and they heard\nwhat he said. The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the\nother John. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He\nturned round and asked them what they wanted.", " 'Master,' they said,\n'where dwellest Thou?' (that means 'where are you living?') Jesus\nsaid, 'Come, and you shall see.' And He took the two disciples to His\nhome, and He let them stay with Him the whole of the day. What a happy\nday that must have been!\n\nAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\nhim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new\nMaster. So now Jesus had three disciples--John, Andrew, and Simon; and\nnext day He took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going\nalong, Jesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where\nSimon and Andrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to\ncome with Him, and he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very\ngood man called Nathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him\nthat he had found Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to\ncome and see Him.\n\nHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\nPhilip,", " and Nathanael--five. And very likely John had brought his\nbrother James to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\n\nDirectly Jesus came into Galilee He was invited to a wedding, at a\nplace called Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to\nthe wedding because He likes to see people happy, and loves to make\nthem happy. In America, people often drink more wine at weddings and\nat other times than is good for them, and a great many people go\nwithout any wine at all, so as to set a good example. But in the East\nit is different. The people there hardly ever take too much wine. So\nJesus allowed His disciples to use it, and He drank it Himself. There\nwas some wine at the wedding party to which Jesus went; but presently\nit came to an end. Then Mary came to Jesus, and said, 'They have no\nwine.' Jesus knew what Mary was thinking about, but He had to tell her\nto wait; and He had to make Mary understand that He could not do\neverything now which she told Him to do, exactly as when He was a boy.\nHe was God's Son as well as Mary's,", " and He had God's work to do, and He\nmust do it at God's time.\n\n[Illustration: A modern Jew's wedding party in Galilee.]\n\nBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus\ntold them. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or\nwaterpots, and Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the waterpots with\nwater. And they filled them up to the brim. And lo! when the water\nwas taken out of the jars, it was water no longer, but wine.\n\nThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make\npeople happy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God.\nDear children, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be\nhappy is to ask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as\nthose wedding people asked Him to come to their party.\n\nHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\ntold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\ndisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\nsure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple,", " and when they\ngot inside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was\ngoing on there. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for\nsacrifice. Others were sitting at little tables changing money. And\nthere must have been plenty of noise, for people in the East shout and\nquarrel a great deal when they are buying or selling.\n\nWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\ncord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\nAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\ndoves to take them away, and not turn His Father's House into a store.\nJesus upset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their\nmoney.\n\nJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\nPassover time, and many persons saw His miracles, and thought, 'Yes,\nthis is the Messiah.' But Jesus did not trust any of those people. He\nknew that they did not really love Him. But there was one man in\nJerusalem who did want to be Jesus Christ's disciple. His name was\nNicodemus.", " He was a great Rabbi, but not proud like the other Rabbis,\nand he wanted to ask Jesus a great many questions. But he did not want\nthe other Rabbis and the priests to see him coming to Jesus. So he\ncame to Jesus by night--in the dark.\n\nDid Jesus say, 'You are not brave, Nicodemus, I am ashamed of you; go\naway'? Ah no! He talked kindly to him, and He told him that he would\nhave to be born again. He meant that Nicodemus must ask God to send\nhim His Holy Spirit, and to give him a new heart. And then Jesus\nexplained to Nicodemus why He had come down from heaven. He said:\n\n'GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT\nWHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING\nLIFE.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI\n\nSOME WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS\n\nJesus having to go to Galilee, made up His mind to pass through\nSamaria. It was a long, rough journey, and at last they came near a\n", "town called Sychar. Near by was the well dug by Jacob when he lived in\nShechem. Jesus was so tired that He sat down to rest on the edge of\nthe well, while His disciples went on to buy food.\n\n[Illustration: Jacob's well.]\n\nWhile Jesus was sitting by the well, a woman came there to draw water.\nJesus asked her to do something kind for Him, He said 'Give Me to\ndrink.' The woman was surprised, and said to Him, 'You are a Jew, and\nI am a Samaritan. Why then do you ask me for water?'\n\nJesus said, 'IF YOU KNEW WHO I AM, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME, AND I WOULD\nHAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.' Jesus meant the Holy Spirit. He gives\nthe Holy Spirit to everyone who asks Him.\n\nThen Jesus spoke to the woman about the bad things she had done, and\nshe tried to make Him talk about something else. But she could not\nstop His wonderful words. At last she said, 'I know that the Messiah\nis coming. He will tell us all things.' Then Jesus said to her, 'I\nTHAT SPEAK UNTO THEE AM HE.'\n\nJust then His disciples came up to the well,", " and they were very much\nastonished to see Him talking to the woman. The Jew men were too proud\nto talk much to women, even if the women were Jews; and this was a\nSamaritan. But the disciples did not ask Jesus any questions about why\nHe talked to the woman. They brought Him the things they had been\nbuying, and said, 'Master, eat.' But Jesus was so happy that He had\nbeen able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel\nhungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the\nfood He liked best.\n\nAfter this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at\nCapernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.\nIt is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there\noften get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not\nmake the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he\nknew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles\naway, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make\n", "his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on\nMe unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how\neager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to\nhim, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man\nfelt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any\nmore to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.\n\nNext day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to\nCapernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and\nthey said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what\ntime it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at\nthe seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then\nthe father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,\n'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in\nJesus.\n\nThe Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the\n", "publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus\ndid not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.\nSo one day, when He was outside the town of Capernaum, and saw Matthew\nsitting and taking the taxes, He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And Matthew\ngot up from his work, and at once left all and followed Jesus.\n\nJesus often told His disciples beautiful stories. One day He told them\na story to teach them not to be proud like the Pharisees. 'Two men\nwent up into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a\npublican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I\nthank Thee that I am not as other men are; I thank Thee that I am not\neven as this publican. Twice a week I go without food, and I give away\na great deal of money. But the publican, standing afar off, would not\nlift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,\nsaying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. When the publican went home\n", "that night he was better and happier than the Pharisee. The Pharisee\n_thought_ he was good; he did not want to be forgiven, and so God let\nhim carry all his sins back home with him again. But the publican\n_knew_ he was a sinner, and was sorry, and so God forgave his sins.'\n\nWhile Jesus was in Capernaum, He went every Sabbath day to teach in the\nsynagogue. One day a man shouted out--\n\n'What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? I know Thee who\nThou art, the Holy One of God.'\n\nSatan had put an unclean spirit, or devil, in that man. Jesus was not\nangry with the poor man, but He spoke to the unclean spirit, and said,\n'Be silent, and come out of him.' He came out, and the man became\nwell. The people in the synagogue were greatly surprised. They said,\n'What thing is this? He commandeth even the unclean spirits and they\nobey Him.'\n\nWhen the service was over, the people who had seen the miracle went\nhome, and talked to everybody about what they had seen.", " Some of them\nhad sick friends, and some had friends with unclean spirits, and they\nlonged to bring them to Jesus. But it was the Sabbath, and they would\nnot bring them until the evening, at which time their Sabbath came to\nan end. So as soon as the sun set that Sabbath day, a great crowd was\nseen standing round Peter's house. It seemed as if all the people of\nCapernaum must be there! They had brought their sick friends, and laid\nthem down at the door. And Jesus put His hands on the sick people, and\nhealed them all.\n\nIn the east there is a dreadful illness called leprosy, and the people\nwho have it are called lepers. No doctor can cure it. At the time\nwhen Jesus lived on the earth, lepers were not allowed to come into\ncities. And they had to go about with nothing on their heads, and with\ntheir dresses torn, and with their mouths covered over; and when they\nsaw anybody coming, they had to call out, 'Unclean! unclean!'\n\nOne day when Jesus went into a town a leper saw Him. The poor man came\n", "to Jesus and knelt down before Him, and fell on his face. And he said,\n'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' And Jesus put out His hand,\nand touched him, and said to him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon\nas Jesus had said that, the leper was well.\n\nSin is just like leprosy. A baby's naughtiness does not look very bad;\nbut that naughtiness spreads and gets stronger as baby gets older, and\nnobody but Jesus can take it away.\n\nJesus Christ's body must often have felt very tired, for crowds\nfollowed Him about all the time. They came from Perea, and from\nJudaea, and from other places too, to see the wonderful new Teacher.\nAnd Jesus preached to them all, and healed their sicknesses. The most\nwonderful sermon that was ever preached in all the world is called the\nSermon on the Mount, because Jesus sat down on a hill to preach it.\n\nAfter a time Jesus went up again to Jerusalem. In or near Jerusalem\nthere was a spring of water which was as good as medicine, because it\nmade sick people well if they bathed in it often enough.", " This spring\nran into a bathing-place called the Pool of Bethesda. Numbers of sick\npersons came to bathe in that pool. One Sabbath day Jesus saw quite a\ncrowd there. Some were blind, some were lame, some were sick of the\npalsy. They were sitting, or lying, by the side of the pool. Jesus\nwas very sorry for one poor man there. He had been ill thirty-eight\nyears. So Jesus said to the man, 'Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.'\nAnd at once the sick man was well, and took up his mattress and walked.\n\nNow the Rabbis had a number of very silly rules about the Sabbath day.\nEven if a man broke his arm or his leg on the Sabbath the Rabbis would\nnot allow the doctor to put the bone right till the next day. So they\nwere very angry when they found that Jesus had made that poor man well\non the Sabbath day, and had told him to carry his mattress home. They\ntold the man he was doing very wrong, and they tried to kill Jesus.\nBut Jesus told them that His Heavenly Father was never idle, and that\nHe must do the same works as God.", " That made the Rabbis more angry than\never. They said, 'He calls God His own Father, making Himself equal\nwith God.' From that time the Jews in Jerusalem made up their minds\nmore than ever to kill Jesus; and wherever He went they sent men to\nwatch Him and listen to His words, so that they might make up some\nexcuse for putting Him to death.\n\nWhat kind of work does God do on Sunday, dear children? Why, He does\nall sorts of kind and beautiful things. He makes the sun rise, and the\nflowers grow, and the birds sing; and He takes care of little children\non Sunday exactly the same as he does on other days. And Jesus did the\nsame kind of work, He made people happy and well on the Sabbath. And\nwe may do _works of love_--kind, loving things for other people--on\nSunday.\n\nAnother Sabbath day, soon after that, the Lord Jesus and His disciples\nwere walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they\nrubbed some corn in their hands as they went along, and ate it. Some\nof the Pharisees saw the disciples, and they were shocked;", " and they\nspoke to Jesus about it. But Jesus told the Pharisees that the\ndisciples were doing nothing wrong. He said, 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR\nMAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH; THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO\nOF THE SABBATH DAY.' Jesus meant that God gave the Sabbath day to Adam\nand his children as a beautiful present, to be the best and happiest\nday of all the seven. God meant it as a rest for our souls and bodies.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VII\n\nA FRIEND FOR THE SORROWFUL\n\nOne day Jesus went to a town called Nain (or Beautiful), about\ntwenty-five miles from Capernaum. A great crowd of people followed\nJesus and His disciples; and when they came near to the gate of the\ncity of Nain, they saw a funeral coming out. The dead body of a young\nman was being carried out on a bier to be buried.\n\nWhen Jesus saw the poor mother crying and sobbing, He felt very sorry\nfor her, and He said to her, 'Weep not.' And Jesus came and touched\nthe bier, and the men who were carrying it stood still.", " And Jesus\nsaid, 'Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.' And life came back into\nthat dead body again. He that was dead sat up and began to speak. And\nJesus gave him back to his mother.\n\nA Pharisee, called Simon, once asked Jesus to come and have dinner with\nhim. When anyone in that land went to a feast, the master of the house\nused to kiss him, and say, 'The Lord be with you,' and put some sweet\nsmelling oil on his hair and beard, and the servants used to bring the\nvisitor water to wash his feet. But none of those kind things were\ndone to Jesus when He came to that Pharisee's house. Presently Jesus\nand Simon began to eat. In that country, people often _lay_ down to\neat. Broad settees, or couches, were put round the table, and the\nvisitors used to lie down in rows on these settees. Their heads were\nnear the table, and their feet were the other way. They lay down on\ntheir left side, and they had cushions to put their elbows on, so that\nthey could raise themselves up while they were eating.", " While Jesus and\nSimon were at dinner, a woman came in out of the street. In the East,\npeople walk in and out of other people's houses just as they like. But\nthat woman had been very wicked, and Simon was not pleased when he saw\nher come in. But nobody said anything to her. So she came to Jesus,\nand stood at His feet, behind the couch on which He w as lying, and\ncried till the tears ran down her face. Then as her tears dropped on\nto the feet of Jesus, she stooped down and wiped them away with her\nlong hair. And then she kissed the feet of Jesus many times, and put\nprecious sweet-smelling ointment upon them. Perhaps she had heard some\nbeautiful words which Jesus had just been saying to the people out of\ndoors--\n\n'COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE\nYOU BEST.'\n\nHer sins were like a heavy load, and so she had come to Jesus.\n\nBut Simon thought to himself, 'If Jesus had really come from God, He\nwould have known how wicked this woman is, and He would not have\n", "allowed her to touch Him.'\n\nJesus knew what Simon was thinking, and He said that once upon a time\nthere were two men who owed some money. One owed a great deal of\nmoney, and the other owed a little. But when the time came for them to\npay the money they could not do it. And the kind man forgave them both.\n\nJesus then asked Simon which of the two men would love that kind friend\nmost.\n\nSimon said, 'I suppose he to whom he forgave most.'\n\nJesus said that that was quite right. Then He turned to the woman, and\nsaid to Simon: 'Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house; thou\ngavest Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,\nand wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but\nthis woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:\nMy head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet\nwith ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are\nforgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven,", " the same\nloveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE\nFORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her\nheavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace\nHe gives.\n\nAfter Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went\nagain into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a\nSaviour had come.\n\nJesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most\nbeautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not\ncare to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His\ndisciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the\nother side of the lake.\n\nWhen the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,\nout of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a\npillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew\nlouder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the\nboat till the boat was nearly full.", " But still Jesus slept quietly on.\nThe disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to\nJesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,\nsave!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the\nsea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was\nquite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your\nfaith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink\nwhen Jesus was in it.\n\n[Illustration: Ruins of Capernaum.]\n\nWhen Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at\nHis feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,\nabout twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started\nto go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But\nwhile they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no\nuse to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus\nsaid to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid.", " Only believe, and she shall be\nmade well.'\n\nWhen Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As\nsoon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and\nhowl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the\nnoise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The\nlittle maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just\nas if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them\nall out.\n\nThen Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and\nJairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.\nThere she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.\nBut Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I\nsay unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she\nopened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and\nmother to give her something to eat.\n\nWhen Jesus came out of Jairus' house,", " two blind men followed Him,\nbegging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to\nthe house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made\nthem see.\n\nJust about this time Jesus had some very sad news. Herod Antipas, the\nson of wicked King Herod, had shut up John the Baptist in a prison,\ncalled the Black Castle, by the side of the Dead Sea. Part of that\ncastle was a beautiful palace, with lovely furniture and a coloured\nmarble floor. One day Herod gave a grand birthday party. Herod had\nmarried a very wicked woman, who was at the party. Her name was\nHerodias. Herodias hated John the Baptist, because he had said that\nshe ought not to be Herod's wife. So she made up her mind to have John\nthe Baptist killed. Herodias had a daughter called Salome, who danced\nbeautifully. And on that birthday Herod was so pleased with Salome's\ndancing that he said, 'I will give you anything you ask me for.'\nSalome went to her mother, and said, 'What shall I ask?' And Herodias\n", "said, 'Ask for the head of John the Baptist.' And Salome came back\nquickly and said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist.'\n\nNow, it is wrong to break a promise. But it is not wrong to break a\n_wicked_ promise. It is wrong ever to have made it. Herod was sorry,\nbut he was afraid of what other people in the party would think if he\ndid not do what he had said. So he sent his soldiers to the prison,\nand had John the Baptist's head cut off to give to that dancing-girl.\n\nJesus had sent His twelve disciples out to preach to people He could\nnot go and see Himself. When they came back they had a great deal to\ntalk about, and they were very tired. But there were always so many\npeople coming to see Jesus that they could get no quiet time at all, no\ntime even to eat. They were all at the Lake of Galilee again, and\nJesus told them to come away with Him into a desert place, and rest\nawhile. That desert place was near a town called Bethsaida, where\nPeter, and his brother Andrew, and Philip lived once upon a time.\n\nJesus and His disciples got into a boat as quietly as they could,", " and\nwent away. But some people near the lake caught sight of the boat, and\nthey saw who was in it; and they ran so fast along the shore of the\nlake that they got to the desert before Jesus was there. Jesus felt\nvery sorry for these people, and He began to teach them many things.\nBy and by it got late, and Jesus said to the disciples, 'How many\nloaves have you? Go and see.' And Andrew said, 'There is a boy\nherewith five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are they among so\nmany?' And Jesus told him to bring the loaves and fishes. Then Jesus\nsaid, 'Make the people sit down.' So the disciples arranged the crowds\nin rows on the grass. And when every one was ready, Jesus took the\nfive loaves and the two fishes in His hands, and He blessed them, and\ndivided them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave\nthem to the people. And there was plenty for everybody. Jesus made\nthose loaves and fishes last out till everybody had had enough. And\nthen He said, 'Gather up the fragments (that means the little pieces)\nthat are left,", "\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfThe Project Gutenberg eBook, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, by Beatrix\nPotter\n\n\nThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with\nalmost no restrictions whatsoever.

You would let\nthem go cold; you know you would!\"\n\n\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself,\" quacked\nJemima Puddle-", "duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest\nright away from the farm.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over\nthe hill.\n\nShe was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.\n\nShe thought that it looked a safe quiet spot.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill a\nfew yards flapping her shawl, and then she jumped off into the air.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe flew beautifully when she had got a good start.\n\nShe skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place in the\nmiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search of a\nconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst some\ntall fox-gloves.\n\nBut--seated upon the stump,", " she was startled to find an elegantly dressed\ngentleman reading a newspaper.\n\nHe had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\n\n\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonnet on one\nside--\"Quack?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously at\nJemima--\n\n\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" said he. He had a long bushy tail which\nhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.\n\nJemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had\nnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry\nnesting-place.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking\ncuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in his\ncoat-tail pocket.\n\nJemima complained of the superfluous hen.\n\n\"Indeed! how interesting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I would\nteach it to mind its own business!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful of feathers in\n", "my wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sit\nthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.\n\nHe led the way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst the\nfox-gloves.\n\nIt was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one on\ntop of another, by way of a chimney.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winter\nhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitable gentleman.\n\nThere was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of old\nsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemima in.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; but\nit was comfortable and very soft.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was rather surprised to find such a vast quantity of\nfeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without any\ntrouble at all.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen she came out, the sandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a log\nreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out,", " but he was looking\nover the top of it.\n\nHe was so polite, that he seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home for\nthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came back\nagain next day.\n\nHe said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine\nnestful in his wood-shed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in the nest.\nThey were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired them\nimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima was not\nthere.\n\nAt last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and I\nwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest until\nthe eggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientious\nJemima.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.\nBut before you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you a\ntreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\n\n\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from the farm-garden to make a\n", "savoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and some\nparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\" said\nthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage and\nonions made her suspicious.\n\nShe went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the different\nsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nAnd she waddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.\n\nThe collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with those\nonions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"\n\nJemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.\n\nThe collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she\ndescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of\nthe house and shed.\n\nThen he went out, and trotted down the village.", " He went to look for two\nfox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny\nafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in\na bag.\n\nShe flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy\nlong-tailed gentleman.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily\nround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\n\n\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the\nherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"\n\nHe was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like\nthat.\n\nShe felt surprised, and uncomfortable.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhile she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.\nSome one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then\nlocked it.\n\nJemima became much alarmed.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nA moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls\n", "and howls, squealing and groans.\n\nAnd nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.\n\nPresently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nUnfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he\ncould stop them.\n\nHe had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nJemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nShe laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself:\nbut only four of them hatched.\n\nJemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had\nalways been a bad sitter.\n\n\n\n***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK\n***\n\n\n******* This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip *******\n\n\nThis and all associated files of various formats will be found in:\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814\n\n\n\nUpdated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions\nwill be renamed.\n\nCreating the works from public domain print editions means that no\n", "one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation\n(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without\npermission and without paying copyright royalties.

When the\nJews saw what was done, some of them believed, but others hurried off\nto Jerusalem to make mischief as fast as they could.\n\nAfter a time Jesus crossed the Jordan and again came into Perea, and\nthen He came slowly down through Perea to Jerusalem.\n\n[Illustration: The shepherd's care (3rd version).]\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER X\n\nTHE PRODIGAL SON, AND OTHER STORIES.\n\nOne day, when the mothers of Perea brought their little ones to Jesus,\nthe disciples found fault with them for coming, and tried to keep them\naway. But when Jesus saw what the disciples were doing He was much\ndispleased, and said to them--\n\n'SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF\nSUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'\n\nAnd He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed\nthem.\n\nJesus used to tell some very beautiful stories as He went slowly\nthrough the Holy Land. We have not room for all, but I must tell you\ntwo or three,", " and I will tell you them exactly as Jesus first told them.\n\n'A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his\nfather, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And\nhe divided unto them his living.\n\n'And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and\ntook his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance\nwith riotous living.\n\n'And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;\nand he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a\ncitizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\nAnd he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine\ndid eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he\nsaid, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to\nspare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and\nwill say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before\nthee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy\nhired servants.\n\n'", "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way\noff, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his\nneck, and kissed him.\n\n'And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and\nin thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\n\n'But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and\nput it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and\nbring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be\nmerry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and\nis found.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT.\n\nAt another time Jesus said--\n\n'Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which\nwould take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon,\none was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But\nforasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and\nhis wife, and children, and all that he had,", " and payment to be made.\n\n'The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,\nhave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed\nhim, and forgave him the debt.\n\n'But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,\nwhich owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him\nby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.\n\n'And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying,\nHave patience with me, and I will pay thee all.\n\n'And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should\npay the debt.\n\n[Illustration: The Jordan near Bethabara.]\n\n'So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,\nand came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord,\nafter that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I\nforgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not\nthou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity\n", "on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,\ntill he should pay all that was due unto him.\n\n'So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your\nhearts forgive not every one his brother.'\n\nJesus often told beautiful parables: here are two--\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TARES.\n\n'The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in\nhis field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among\nthe wheat, and went his way.\n\n'But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then\nappeared the tares also.\n\n'So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst\nnot thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?\n\n'He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.\n\n'The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them\nup?'\n\n'But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also\nthe wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in\nthe time of harvest I will say to the reapers,", " Gather ye together first\nthe tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat\ninto my barn.'\n\nTHE STORY OF THE TEN VIRGINS.\n\n'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which\ntook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom.\n\n'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were\nfoolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took\noil in their vessels with their lamps.\n\n'While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.\n\n'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;\ngo ye out to meet him.\n\n'Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the\nfoolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone\nout.\n\n'But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us\nand you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.\n\n'And while they went to buy, the bride-groom came; and they that were\nready went in with him to the marriage:", " and the door was shut.\n\n'Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.\n\n'But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.\nWatch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the\nSon of Man cometh.'\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XI.\n\nTHE LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM.\n\nWhen it was time for Him to end His work on earth, Jesus started for\nJerusalem. The people in Jerusalem heard that He was coming, and\ncrowds of them poured out of Jerusalem to meet Him. They carried\nboughs of palm trees in their hands, and waved them, and cried,\n'HOSANNA! BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!\nPEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST.'\n\nPresently Jesus came to a part of the Mount of Olives where He could\nsee Jerusalem and the Temple straight before Him; and as He looked at\nthem, He wept aloud. He wept because they loved their sins, and hated\ntheir Saviour. He wept because He knew that God would have to punish\nthem. He knew that in a very few years the Romans would come and fight\n", "against Jerusalem, and burn down that Temple, and kill thousands of the\nJews, or carry them away as slaves. Were not these things enough to\nmake the Lord Jesus weep?\n\n[Illustration: Mount of Olives and Jerusalem.]\n\nThe blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and He made them\nwell; and when the little children cried, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF\nDAVID,' He was pleased to hear their song. But the priests were very\nangry. 'Hosanna to the Son of David' means 'Save us, Jesus, our King.'\nThe priests could not bear to hear the children call Jesus their King,\nand ask Him to save them. And Satan is very angry now when He hears a\nlittle child say, 'Save me, O Jesus, my King.' But Jesus is pleased.\n\nDuring these last days Jesus stayed quietly each night at Bethany; but\nthe priests were very busy thinking how they could take Him prisoner,\nand they were very pleased when Judas came in secretly, and said, 'Give\nme money, and I will give you Jesus.' And the priests said they would\ngive Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would give Jesus up to them.\nThirty pieces of silver!", " Why, that was only about seventeen dollars\n($17)--only as much as used to be paid for a slave.\n\nThe next day while Jesus stayed quietly in Bethany, Peter and John were\nvery busy, for Jesus had sent them to Jerusalem to get ready for the\nPassover. They had to take a lamb to the Temple to be killed by the\npriests, and they had to find a house in which to eat the Passover\nsupper.\n\nOnce every year the Jews used to kill a lamb, and pour out its blood\nbefore God, to show that they remembered God's goodness to them when\nthey were in Egypt, in letting his angel pass over their houses. And\nthen they roasted the lamb, and met together in their houses to eat it,\nand to thank God for all his love and kindness.\n\nWhen Peter and John had got the Passover supper quite ready, Jesus came\nfrom Bethany with the rest of His disciples, and they all sat down\ntogether at the table; and Jesus told the disciples that He was very\nglad to eat this Passover with them, because it was the very last time\nHe would eat and drink at all before He died. Then Jesus took off His\n", "long, loose outside dress, and He wrapt a towel round Him, and poured\nwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe\nthem with the long towel which He had fastened round His waist.\n\nWhen Jesus had finished washing His disciples' feet, He put on His long\ncoat again (it was called an _abba_), and sat down. And He told His\ndisciples that He had given them an example, so that they might be kind\nto one another, and wait upon one another.\n\nJesus said many beautiful words to His disciples that night at the\nsupper; and when the supper was finished, they went out into the Mount\nof Olives, to a place called Gethsemane, a garden full of olive trees,\nwhere Jesus often went to pray.\n\nWhen Jesus came to Gethsemane with His disciples, He told them to sit\ndown and wait for Him while He went on farther to pray. But He took\nwith Him Peter and James and John. As they walked on, Jesus began to\nbe so very sorrowful that He wanted to be quite alone with God. So He\ntold Peter and James and John to stay behind and to watch.", " But they\nwent to sleep. And then Jesus went a little way off, and fell down on\nHis knees and prayed. And now His mind was in such pain that He\nsuffered agony, and the sweat rolled down His face in drops of blood.\nThen Jesus came to Peter and James and John, and found them fast\nasleep. Twice Jesus went away and prayed the same prayer, and twice He\ncame back to find His disciples asleep.\n\n[Illustration: Gethsemane.]\n\nAnd now a great crowd poured into the garden. Judas was walking first,\nto show the others the way, and he came up to Jesus and kissed Him\nagain and again, and said, 'Master! Master! Peace!' And when the\npeople saw Judas do that, they took hold of Jesus and held Him fast.\nThey took Jesus first to the house of a priest called Annas, and then\nto the palace of Caiaphas the high priest; and John, who knew somebody\nin that house, was allowed to come in. Peter was left outside; but\nsoon John asked the girl at the door to let Peter in too. Peter was\nglad to come in to see what was being done to his dear Master.\n\nThe houses in the East are built round a great square court,", " like a big\nhall, only it has no roof. It was the middle of the night, and the\ncold air blew into that court. But the servants had made a great fire\nof coals in the middle of the court, and while Jesus was standing\nbefore Caiaphas and the other priests, the servants sat round that fire\nwaiting, and warming themselves. Peter came and sat down with the\nservants, and warmed himself too.\n\nPresently the girl who attended to the door came up to the fire, and\nshe had a good look at Peter, and said, 'And you were with Jesus of\nNazareth. Are you not one of His disciples?' Then Peter told a lie\nbefore all the servants, and said, 'Woman, I am not. I do not know\nHim, and I do not know what you mean.' And he went on warming himself,\nand tried to look as though he knew nothing in the world about Jesus.\nBut Peter loved Jesus too much to be able to do this well. He was\nunhappy, he could not sit still; he got up, and went away into a place\nnear the door, called the porch, and when he was in the porch he heard\n", "a cock crow. Perhaps he went into the porch because he thought that it\nwould be dark there and that nobody would see him. But the girl who\nkept the door told another woman to look at him, and that woman said to\nthe people who stood by, 'This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, and\nis one of His disciples.' Then a man who stood there said to Peter,\n'Are you not one of His disciples?' And again Peter told a lie, and\nsaid, 'Man, I am not. I do not know the Man.'\n\nAn hour passed by, and then some of the people near said, 'You must be\none of the disciples of Jesus. The way that you speak shows that you\ncome from Galilee.' While Peter was again denying him, Jesus turned\nround, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered what Jesus had said\nto him, 'Before the cock crow twice, you will say three times you do\nnot know Me.' And when he thought about what he had done, he was very,\nvery sorry; and he went out of the high priest's palace, and wept\nbitterly.\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER XII\n\nTHE CRUCIFIXION AND THE RESURRECTION\n\nWhen the morning came,", " the priests met once more with all the chief\nJews, and said Jesus must die. But the Jews could not put anyone to\ndeath. The Romans would not allow it. So they took Jesus to the Roman\ngovernor, whose name was Pontius Pilate.\n\nWhen Judas saw that the priests had made up their minds to kill Jesus,\nhe began to feel very unhappy. He did not care for the money now. He\ncame to the Temple, and brought it back to the priest, and said, 'It\nwas very wrong of me to give Jesus up to you. He had done nothing\nwrong.' But their hearts were as hard as stone. They said to Judas,\n'What is that to us? See thou to that.' Then Judas had no hope left.\nHe flung the thirty pieces of silver down in the Court of the Priests,\nand went and hung himself. But oh! what a pity that he did not go to\nJesus and ask Jesus to forgive him, instead of going to the priests!\nJesus is a good, kind, loving Master. When we do wrong, if we are very\nsorry, like Peter, and will come and ask Jesus,", " He will forgive us. For\n\n'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.'\n\nPilate took Jesus inside his splendid palace, away from the Jews, and\nasked Him, 'Art thou a King then?'\n\n'Yes,' Jesus said, 'but My kingdom is not of this world. I came into\nthis world to teach people the truth. That is the reason I was born.'\n\n'What is truth?' said Pilate. But he did not wait for an answer. He\nwent out again to the Jews.\n\nWhen the Jews saw Pilate again, they began to tell him lies which they\nhad been making up about Jesus. And Jesus stood by and said nothing.\nPresently Pilate said to Jesus, 'See what a number of things they are\nsaying against you. Have you nothing to say?'\n\nBut Jesus did not answer one single word, and Pilate was greatly\nsurprised. He felt sure that the quiet prisoner was right and that the\nJews were wrong; and he said to the priests and to the people, 'I find\nin Him no fault at all.'\n\nIt was the custom for Pilate at Passover time to set free from prison\n", "any one prisoner the people liked to ask for. So Pilate said to the\ncrowd, 'Shall I let Jesus go?' Then the priests told the people what\nto say, and they shouted, 'Not this man, but Barabbas.'\n\nPilate wanted very much to let Jesus go, and he said, 'What shall I do\nthen with Jesus?'\n\nThe crowd shouted, 'Let Him be crucified! Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'\n\n'Why,' said Pilate, 'what has He done wrong? He does not deserve to\ndie. I will scourge Him and let Him go.'\n\nThen the people cried out more loudly than ever, 'Let Him be crucified!\nCrucify Him!'\n\nBut Pilate did not want to be shouted at for five or six days and\nnights again. And, besides, he rather wanted to please the Jews if he\ncould, because he had done many things to vex them; so he thought, 'I\nwill do what they wish.' But first he had a basin of water brought,\nand he washed his hands before all the people, and said, 'I have\nnothing to do with the blood of this good Man.", " See ye to it.' And all\nthe people answered and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our\nchildren.' Sometimes now, when we don't want to have anything to do\nwith a thing, we say, 'I wash my hands of it.' But Pilate did have\nsomething to do with the death of Jesus, and water would not wash away\nthat sin.\n\nAnd at last, wishing to please them, Pilate had Barabbas brought out of\nprison, and gave Jesus up to be beaten. The Roman soldiers seized\nJesus, and took off His clothes and put a scarlet dress on Him, to\nimitate the Emperor's purple robe; and they twisted pieces of a thorny\nplant which grows round Jerusalem into the shape of a crown, and put it\non His head; and they put a reed in His hand for a sceptre. And then\nall the soldiers fell down before Jesus, and said, 'Hail, King of the\nJews.' And then they spit at Jesus, and slapped Him; and they snatched\nthe reed out of His hands and struck Him on the head, so as to drive in\nthe thorns.\n\nOutside the city gate,", " on the north side of Jerusalem, there is a round\nhill, called the Place of Stoning. On one side of that hill there is a\nstraight yellow cliff, and prisoners used sometimes to be thrown down\nfrom that cliff, and then stoned. And sometimes they were taken to the\ntop of that round hill and crucified. It is very likely that this is\nwhere the soldiers took Jesus. That hill is often called Calvary.\n\nThe soldiers made Jesus lie down on the cross, and they nailed Him to\nit--putting nails through His hands and His feet. Then they lifted up\nthe cross with Jesus on it, and fixed it in a hole in the ground. And\nJesus said,\n\n'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.'\n\nThen the soldiers crucified two thieves, and put them near Jesus, one\non each side; and they nailed up some white boards at the top of the\ncrosses with black letters on them, to say what the prisoners had done.\nThey put over Jesus Christ's head the words--\n\n'THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'\n\nThree hours of fearful pain passed away.", " It was twelve o'clock. And\nnow it became quite dark and it was dark till three o'clock in the\nafternoon. That was a dreadful three hours more for Jesus. It was a\ntime of agony of mind, like the time He spent in the Garden of\nGethsemane. He was having His last fight with Satan, and He felt quite\nalone. When it was about three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud\nvoice, 'It is finished.' And He cried again with a loud voice, and\nsaid, 'Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.' And He bowed His\nhead and died.\n\n[Illustration: Calvary.]\n\nAnd now wonderful things happened. The ground shook; the graves\nopened; dead people woke up to life again; and a great veil, or\ncurtain, which hung before the most holy part of the Temple, was\nsuddenly torn into two pieces. The high priest used to go once a year\ninto that Most Holy Place to offer sacrifice for sin before God. But\nwhen the great purple and gold curtain was torn down without hands, it\nwas just as if a voice from heaven had said,", " 'No more blood of lambs,\nno more high priest is wanted now. Jesus, the real Passover Lamb, has\nbeen sacrificed. Jesus has offered His own blood before God for\nsinners, and God will forgive every sinner who trusts in the blood of\nJesus.'\n\nThen a rich man, called Joseph, came to Pilate and begged Pilate to let\nhim have the body of Jesus to bury. Pilate said that Joseph might have\nthe body of his Master. And Joseph came and took it down from the\ncross; and he and Nicodemus wrapped the body round with clean linen,\nwith a very great quantity of sweet-smelling stuff inside the linen.\n\nThere was a garden close to the place where Jesus was crucified, and in\nthat garden there was a grave which Joseph had cut in a rock. The\ngrave was not like those which we have. It was a little room in the\nrock, with a seat on the right hand, and a seat on the left, and with a\nplace in the wall just opposite the door for the body. Joseph and\nNicodemus laid the body of Jesus in this new grave. Then they came\nout, and rolled a great round stone over the door,", " and went away.\n\nJesus was crucified on Friday, and now it was Sunday. It was very\nearly in the morning. The soldiers were watching at the grave of\nJesus, and all was still; when suddenly the earth began to tremble and\nshake. And behold, an angel came down from heaven, and rolled away the\nstone at the door of the tomb, and the Lord of Life came out. The\nsoldiers did not see Jesus, but they did see the shining angel. The\nRoman soldiers shook with fright. They were so frightened that they\nhad no strength left in them, and as soon as they could they ran away\nfrom the place.\n\nAnd now that the soldiers had gone, some women came near--Mary\nMagdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, Salome, and at least one\nor two more women. They had brought with them some sweet-smelling\nspices, which they had made or bought, to put round the body of Jesus.\nThe light was beginning to come in the sky, to show that the sun would\nbe up soon, but it was still rather dark. As the women came along,\nthey said one to the other, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from\n", "the door of the tomb?' For it was very great. Then they looked, and\nbehold! the stone was gone. And Mary Magdalene ran back to the city,\nto tell Peter and John that the door of the tomb was open. But the\nother women went on, and went into the tomb where they had seen Jesus\nlaid. He was not there now, but an angel in a long white robe was\nsitting on the right-hand side of the tomb. Then the women saw two\nangels standing by them in shining clothes, and they were afraid, and\nfell on their faces to the ground. Then one of the angels said to\nthem, 'Fear not. He is not here; He is risen.'\n\n[Illustration: The empty tomb.]\n\nBut Mary Magdalene after all had been the first to see Jesus. She had\nrun off to tell Peter and John that the stone was rolled away. As soon\nas Peter and John knew that, they ran off to the grave as fast as they\ncould, and Mary Magdalene went after them. John could run the fastest,\nso he got there first, and just peeped in through the little door in\n", "the rock. The angels had gone away, but he could see the linen\nbandages. They were not thrown about here and there, but they were\nlying neatly together. But when Peter came up he wanted to see more\nthan that, and he went straight into the tomb, and John followed him.\nWhen Peter and John saw that the body of Jesus had really gone, they\nwent away back to the city and told the other disciples.\n\nBut Mary Magdalene did not go back. As she turned away from the grave\nshe saw that somebody was standing near the grave. It was really\nJesus, but she did not know that. She was too sad to look up.\n\nAnd Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?'\n\nMary thought, 'It is the gardener,' and she said, 'Sir, if you have\ncarried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him\naway.'\n\nThen Jesus said, 'Mary.' And Mary turned round quickly, and said,\n'Master.' Then she saw that it was Jesus, and He sent her with a\nmessage to His disciples. So Mary hurried back again into the city\n", "with her good news. She found the disciples, and when she said, 'I\nhave seen the Lord,' they would not believe it. And when some other\nwomen who had met Jesus a little later came in, and said, 'We have seen\nthe Lord,' it was just the same. The disciples only thought, 'What\nnonsense these women talk!' Before the women came in, two of the\ndisciples had gone for a very long walk. As they walked along, and\ntalked, Jesus came near, and went with them.\n\nWhile Jesus talked and the disciples listened, they came to the village\nof Emmaus. That was the end of the disciples' journey, and now Jesus\nbegan to walk on by Himself. But the disciples begged Him to stay with\nthem, 'Abide with us,' they said; 'it is getting late. It will soon be\nevening.' So Jesus went in, and sat down at table with them. And He\ntook bread in His hands, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to\nthem. Perhaps Jesus had some special way of saying grace which made\nthe disciples know who He was. Anyway,", " they knew Him now. And then,\nsuddenly, He was gone. Cleopas and his friend could not keep their\ngood news to themselves. They got up at once, and went back, more than\nseven miles, to Jerusalem, and found a number of the Lord's friends and\ndisciples sitting together at supper. Some of them were saying, 'THE\nLORD IS RISEN INDEED.'\n\nThen Jesus Himself came to them, and He told them that it was very\nwrong not to believe. Then, when He saw that they were frightened, He\nsaid, 'Peace be unto you,' and He showed them His hands and His feet,\nand ate some fried fish and honey which they had put on the table for\nsupper. That was to make them understand that His body was really\nalive as well as His soul. And now the disciples were filled with\ngladness and Joy.\n\nThen Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to\nCleopas and his friend, and He said to them--\n\n'AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. GO YE INTO ALL THE\nWORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.'\n\nThat is the great missionary text.", " A missionary means, you remember,\n'one who is sent.' That text was meant for you and for me, as well as\nfor the first disciples of Jesus.\n\nAfter these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and\nwaited for Jesus to meet them there.\n\nOne day Thomas and Nathanael, and James and John, and two other\ndisciples, were together by the side of the Sea of Galilee. Peter was\nthere too, and he always liked to be doing something, so he said to the\nothers, 'I go a-fishing.' And they said, 'We will also go with you;'\nand at once they all jumped into a little ship, and pushed off into the\nlake. But that night they caught nothing.\n\n[Illustration: The Sea of Galilee.]\n\nNext morning Jesus came and stood on the shore. The disciples could\nsee Him, because the little ship was now pretty near to the land, but\nthey did not know Him. Jesus said to the men in the boat, 'Children,\nhave you anything to eat?'\n\nThey thought, I suppose, that this stranger wanted to buy some fish,\nand they said, 'No.' Then Jesus said,", " 'Cast the net on the right side\nof the ship, and you shall find.'\n\nAnd the disciples did what Jesus had said, and at once the net became\nso heavy with fish that the fishermen could not pull it into the boat.\n\nThen John said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'\n\nWhen Peter heard that, he jumped into the water, so as to get quicker\nto land. The other disciples stayed in the boat, and dragged the fish\nalong after them. When the boat got to land, Peter helped the other\nmen to pull the net in. It was full of great fishes--a hundred and\nfifty and three. Jesus had got a fire of coals ready on the beach, and\nsome bread; and some fish were broiling on the fire. And now Jesus\nsaid to the tired fishermen, 'Come and dine,' and He waited upon them\nHimself.\n\nAfter that day by the Sea of Galilee, the disciples went to a mountain\nwhich Jesus told them about. And Jesus met them there, and said to\nthem, 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the\nFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. AND LO I AM WITH YOU\n", "ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.' There is another splendid\nmissionary text.\n\n[Illustration: The Mount of Olives.]\n\nJesus stayed on earth for forty days, and when the forty days were\nover, He went for a last walk with His disciples. He took them the way\nthey had so often gone together--over the Mount of Olives, and so far\nas Bethany. There He stopped, and lifted up His hands, and blessed\nthem. And it came to pass, that while He blessed them, He was taken\nfrom them, and carried up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand\nof God. As the disciples looked up earnestly towards heaven after\nJesus, two angels in white robes came and stood by them, and said, 'YE\nMEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU STAND LOOKING INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS\nWHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN SHALL COME AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY\nAS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.'\n\nYes, dear children, Jesus is coming again some day. He will not come\nas a little baby next time.", " He will come as a King, to cast out Satan,\nto judge the world, and to take away all who love Him to be with Him\nforever.\n\n\n\n\n \"SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD, LEAD US.\"\n\n Savior, like a shepherd, lead us,\n Much we need Thy tend'rest care,\n In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,\n For our use Thy folds prepare.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.\n\n We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,\n Be the Guardian of our way;\n Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,\n Seek us when we go astray.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n Hear, O hear us, when we pray.\n\n Thou hast promised to receive us,\n Poor and sinful though we be;\n Thou hast mercy to relieve us,\n Grace to cleanse, and power to free.\n Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,\n We will early turn to Thee.\n\n\n\n \"ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS.\"\n\n One there is, above all others,\n Well deserves the name of Friend;\n His is love beyond a brother's,\n Costly, free, and knows no end.\n\n Which of all our friends,", " to save us,\n Could or would have shed his blood?\n But our Jesus died to have us\n Reconciled in him to God.\n\n When he lived on earth abas\u00c3\u00a9d,\n Friend of sinners was his name;\n Now above all glory rais\u00c3\u00a9d,\n He rejoices in the same.\n\n Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!\n Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;\n We, alas! forget too often\n What a friend we have above.\n\n\n\nTHE LORD'S PRAYER\n\nOur Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
