while he was speaking, a bright cloud surrounded them: and suddenly a voice broke out of the cloud, saying, "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."

Some time after, while they were in Galilee, Jesus said to them, the son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men:

while the crowd that were marching before, and behind, cried out, "Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna, Hosanna."

While the Pharisees were still assembled, Jesus asked them,

for I tell you, after a while, ye shall not see me again, till ye shall cry out, "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

while the bridegroom tarried, they were drowsy and slept.

and while they were gone to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready, entred with him into the hall, and the door was shut.

Soon after Jesus obliged his disciples to embark for Bethsaida, on the opposite shore, while he was dismissing the people.

Then Jesus address'd himself to them in this parabolical manner. a certain person planted a vineyard, made a fence about it, clear'd the way for a wine-press, built a tower, and committed it to the care of vine-dressers, while he was travelling abroad.

now being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, there came a woman with a viol full of the perfume of spikenard, which was very costly; and she opened the viol, and poured it upon his head.

while Peter, and the others with him, were overwhelm'd with sleep: but when they wak'd, they observed his glory, and the two persons present with him,

while he was speaking, there came a cloud and over-shadowed them, who were seized with fear, at their vanishing in the cloud,

While he was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to dine his house, where he went, and sat down at table.

upon which the Lord said to him, you Pharisees won't leave any filth upon the outside of a cup or a platter: while your consciences are abandon'd to rapine, and sensuality.

Peter reply'd, man, I don't know what you would say, and immediately while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

while the people who stood looking on, and the senators themselves contemptuously said, he sav'd others; if he be Christ, the elect of God, let him save himself.

now while they were conferring and debating together, Jesus himself join'd them and walk'd along with them.

Upon this, they said to one another, to what ardor did not our affections rise, while he talk'd with us by the way, and while he expounded to us the scriptures?

While they were thus talking, Jesus himself appear'd in the midst of them, and said to them, peace be with you.

all the while holding out his hands and his feet, as he was speaking.

then he said, this is what I told you, while I was yet with you, that what has been written concerning me in the law of Moses, in the prophets, and in the psalms, must be all accomplished.

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light.

I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

while I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Jesus answer'd them, yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have the light, lest darkness surprize you: for he that walketh in darkness, does not know whither he goes.

yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also.

Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father.

then said some of his disciples among themselves, what is the meaning of his saying, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father?"

for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?"

now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"

now that I am coming to thee, while I am here, I make these requests for them, that their joy in me may be compleat.

After this discourse, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

While Peter was perplexed about the signification of this vision, the messengers from Cornelius having enquir'd out Simon's house, arriv'd at the gate,

and while I was speaking to them, the holy spirit descended upon them, as it did on us, at the beginning.

While Paul was expecting them at Athens, he was grieved to the soul to see the whole city o'er-spread with idols.

and as Paul continued his discourse a great while, a young man, named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, was seiz'd with a deep sleep, which quite o'er-came him; so that he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

while they were waiting for day, Paul advis'd the whole company to take some refreshment: "these fourteen days, said he, you have been very abstemious, and not made a meal:

but herein hath God displayed his love towards us, in that Christ died for us, even while we were yet sinners.

while the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

while one cries I am Paul's disciple, and another, I am Apollo's, are ye not vicious?

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obey'd the gospel, not only when I was with you, but much more now while I am absent, continue the work of your own salvation, whatever persecutions you apprehend:

in the mean while, as we are already advanc'd so far, pursue your course, and keep it still in view:

while I am absent apply yourself to reading, to exhortation, and instruction.

which, while they are deaf to the truth, attentively listen to fables.
