ed from the receipt of custom.
And it came to pass, that. as
the people pressed upon him to
hear the word of God, he stood
by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing
by the lake: but the fishermen
were gone out of them, and were
washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one OF
the ships. which was Simon's, and
prayed him that he would thrust
out a little from the land. And
he sat down, and taught the peo-
pie out of the ship.
Now when he had left speak
ing. he said unto Simon, Launch
out into the deep, and let down
your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said
unto him, Master, we have tolled
all the night, and have taken
nothing: nevertheless at thy
word | will let down the net,
6 And when they had this done,
they enclosed a great multitude
of fishes: and their net brake.
z And they beckoned unto their
partners, which were in the other
ship, that they should come and
help them. And they came, and
filled both the ships, so that they
began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw 1T he
fell down at Jesus knees, say
ing, Depart from me; for | am a
sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was aStonished, and all
that were with him, at the
draught of the fishes which they
had taken.
10 And so was also James, ana
John. the sons of Zebedee, which
were partners with Simon. And
Jesus said unto Simon, Fear mot;
from henceforth thou shalt catch
men.
IL And when they had brought
their ships to land, they forsook
all, and followed him.
II And it came to pass, when
he was in a certain city. behold
a man full of leprosy: who see
iro Jesus fell on his face, and
besought him, saying, Lord, II
thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean.
10 And he put forth his hand,
and touched him, saying. | will:
be thou clean. And Immediately
the leprosy departed from him.
IA And he charged linn to tell
no man: but go, and shew thy
self to the priest, and offer for
thy cleansing, according as Mo-
ses commanded, for a testimony
unto them
Is But SO much the more went
there a fame abroad of him: an,
great multitudes came together
to hear. and to be healed by him
of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself in
to the wilderness and prayed.
II And it came to pass on a
certain day, as he was teaching,
that there were PhariSees and
doctors of the law sitting by,
which were come out of every
town of Galilee, and Judea, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the
Lord was present to heal them.
Is And, behold, men brought
in a bed a man which was taken
with a palsy: and they sought
means to bring him in, and to
lay him before him.
19 And when they could not
find by what way they might
bring him in because of the null
titude, they went upon the house
top, ann let hl:n down through
the thing with his couch into the
midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith,
he said unto him, Man. thy sins
are forgiven thee.
81 And the scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason, say
ing, Who is this which speaketh
blasphemies Who can forgive
sins but God alone?
% But when Jesus perceived
their thoughts, he answering said
unto them. What reason We in
your hearts
% Whether is easier, to say,
Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to
say, Rise up and walk?
"a But that We may know that
the Son of man hath power upon
earth to forgive sins, Che said
unto the sick of the palsy,) /
say unto thee, Arise. and take
UP thy couch, and go into thine
house.
25 And immediately he rose up
wherein he lay, and departed to
his own house, clarifying God.
&c And they were all amazed,
and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear, saying, We have
seen strange things today.
27 And after these things he
went forth, and saw a publican,
named Levi, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and he said unto him.
Follow me.
% And he left all, rose up, and
followed him.
20 And Levi made him a great
feast in his own house: and there
was a great company Of publi-
