except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45. It is written in the prophets, and they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

46. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God; he hath seen the Father.

47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

48. I am that bread of life. 49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.

51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead but he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

59. These things said he in the synagogue as he taught at Capernaum.

60. Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this; said, This is an hard saying: Who can hear it?

61. When Jesus knew in him. self that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth

1. Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the Scribes which came from Jerusalem.

2. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say with unwashen hands, they found fault.

3. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

4. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.

5. Then the Pharisees and Scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6. He answered and said unto them,

8. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.]t

9. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

this offend you?

62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

63. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

65. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, That no man can come unto me except it were given unto him of my Father.

66. ¶ From that time many of his disciples drew back, and walked no more with him.

67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, To whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. 69. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the son of the living God.

70. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? and one of you is a devil.

71. He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

ST. MATTHEW, XV.

4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and he that curseth father and mother, let him die the death.

5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father, or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

6. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.

Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

7. Ye hypocrites. Well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

10. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear and understand:

11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

12. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

13. But he answered, and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

15. Then answered Peter, and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

16. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

17. Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth

ST. MARK, VII.

10. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother: and whoso curseth his father or mother, let him die the death.

11. But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me, he shall be free.

12. And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother;

13. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

6. Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Continued at P. 79.

14. And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

16. [If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.]*

17. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19. Because it entereth not into

32. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude because they continue with me now three days; and have nothing

to eat :

and I will not send them away fasting lest they faint in the way.

33. And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness as to fill so great a multitude?

34. And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven,

and a few little fishes. 35. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36. And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37. And they did all eat, and were filled and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

38. And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. (1)

39. And he sent away the multi

CHAP. VIII.

1. In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

2. I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat :

3. And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

4. And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

5. And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
