JOHN, X. own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep; and am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16. And other sheep I have, but not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17. Therefore doth my Father love me; because I lay down my life; that I might take it again. 18. No man taketh it from me ; but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. 19. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20. And many of them said, He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear ye him? 21. Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22. And it was at Jerusalem the feast of dedication; and it was winter. 23. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ tell us plainly. 25. Jesus answered them; I told you and ye believed not. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26. But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep; as I said unto you. 27. Mysheep hear my voice; and I know them, and they fellow me. 28. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29. My father, which gave them me, is greater than all : and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30. I and my Father are one. ST. JOHN, X. 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of those works do ye stone me? 33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came; and the scripture cannot be broken; 36. Say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if I do; though ye believe not me; believe the works that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39. Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand. 40. And went away again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptized: and there he abode. 41. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle ; but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42. And many believed on him there. 3. The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4. And he answered and said unto them; 2. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3. And he answered, and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4. And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5. And Jesus answered, and M XIX. 7, 8. said unto them, For the hard. ness of your heart he wrote For Chap. XI. see P. 111. ST. LUKE, XVI., XVIII. ST. JOHN, XI. ST. MATTHEW, XIX. Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5. And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh? 6. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder. 7. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? ST. MARK, X. you this precept. 6. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8. And they twain shall be one so then they are no more twain 9. What therefore God hath 10. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. (1) 8. He saith unto them, Moses, Mk. X. 4, 5. P. 109. because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another committeth adultery : and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs which were made eunuchs of men and there be eunuchs which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. 11. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12. And if a woman put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Mk. X. 10. (1) M. XIX. 10. Chap. XVI. from P. 95. And whosoever marrieth her committeth adultery. CHAP. XVIII. From P. 143. 1. And he spake a parable unto them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint; 2. Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man. 3. And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4. And he would not for a while but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man ; ST. MARK, X. 13. And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God. 15. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16. And he took them up his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. 17. And when he was gone forth into the way, Continued P. 115. ST. LUKE, XVIII. 5. Yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 9. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others. 10. Two men went up into the temple to pray the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week: I give tithes of all I possess. 13. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven; but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner. 14. I tell you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other. For everyone that exalteth himself shall be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. : 15. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them. But when his dis ciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God. 17. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Continued P. 115. ST. JOHN, XI. CHAP. XI. (from P. 109). 1. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (1) M. XVIII, 10. ST. MATTHEW, XIX. ST. MARK, X. ST. LUKE, XVIII. * M. XIX. 1. J. X. 40, 31, 39. P. 109. (Fourth visit.) ST. JOHN, XI. 2. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3. Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the place where he was. 7. Then after that, saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. 8. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10. But if a man walk in the night he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11. These things said he, and after that, he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. 12. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; to the intent ye may believe: nevertheless let us go unto him. 16. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 18. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem; about fifteen furlongs off. 19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother. 20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. |
