But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying, "Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much Jesus had done for him.

And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they threw themselves down at his feet, screaming out, "You are the Son of God."

And as they were departing a dumb demoniac was brought to him, and when he had driven out the demon, the dumb spoke. The crowds were amazed, saying, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel!"

Then they brought to him a blind and deaf demoniac; and he healed him, so that the dumb both spoke and saw. And all the crowds were amazed, and he began to say, "Can this be the Son of David?" When the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by the aid of Beelzebub, the Prince of the demons, that this fellow is driving out demons." read more.
Because Jesus knew what was in their minds, he said to them. "Any kingdom divided against itself will become desolate; and any city or household divided against himself will not stand. "So if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? "And if I am casting out demons in the power of Beelzebub, in whose power do your sons cast them out? So they themselves shall be your judges. "But if it is in the power of the Spirit of God is already upon you. "Or how can any one enter the strong man's house and carry off his goods without first binding the strong man? Then he can rob his house. "He who is not with me is against me; and he who is not gathering with me, scatters. "Therefore I tell you that every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven. "And if any man say a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in that which is to come. "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for by its fruit the tree is known. "You generation of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. "When the time of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the vine-dressers seized to get his fruit. "A good man out of his good treasure brings forth good; and from his evil treasure a bad man brings out evil. "I tell you that for every careless word that men speak they shall give account on the day of judgment. "For by your words you will each be justified, and by your words be condemned."

Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered. But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."

When he arrived on the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, he was met by two demoniacs who were coming out of the tombs. They were so violently fierce that no one dared pass along that road.

Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;

Then they put in at the country of Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.

Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him "I do choose," he said, "become clean," and immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.

Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!"

And he stretched out his hand and touching him, said: "I do choose; be made clean."

And in order to get a charge against him they asked him, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" (So that they might have something to accuse him.)

Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered.

On another Sabbath he went into a synagogue and was teaching; and there was there a man whose right hand was withered.

Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people. And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles??emoniacs, epileptics, paralytics??nd he healed them. Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

and when the men of that country recognized him, they sent into all the country round about, and brought to him all the sick, and kept begging him to let them touch the tassel of his cloak??nd all who touched were completely cured.

As he went down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. And behold! a leper came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord if you choose, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him "I do choose," he said, "become clean," and immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. read more.
Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, as an evidence to them."

One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, you are able to cleanse me." Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!" The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean. read more.
Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying. "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them." But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.

Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean." And he stretched out his hand and touching him, said: "I do choose; be made clean." And instantly the leprosy left him. Jesus ordered him to tell no one, "But be off," he said, "show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them." read more.
But all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities. But Jesus himself habitually withdrew into solitary places, and there used to pray.

And here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven."

While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.

And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.

So when he landed he saw a great multitude, and felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.

On leaving that place Jesus went along the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and after climbing a hill, took his seat there. Great crowds came to him, bringing the crippled, the blind, the maimed, the dumb, and many others. They laid them at his feet and he healed them; so that the crowd wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

As he passed along he went into their synagogue, and there he saw a man with a withered hand. And in order to get a charge against him they asked him, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" (So that they might have something to accuse him.) "Is there a man of you," he replied, "who has but a single sheep, who will not lay hold of it and lift it out, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath Day? read more.
"And how much more is a man worth than a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath." Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."

Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered. And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him. "Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward." read more.
Then he asked them. "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?" They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.

On another Sabbath he went into a synagogue and was teaching; and there was there a man whose right hand was withered. Now the Scribes and Pharisees kept watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to bring on accusations to him. He was all along aware of their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise, and stand there in the midst." read more.
So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?" Then he looked round about on them in anger, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand!" He did so; and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and they began to talk over together what they could do to Jesus.

So he went on board, crossed the sea, and came to his own city. And here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven." And behold! certain scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." read more.
And because Jesus knew well their thought, he said: "Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? "But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins"??e then says to the paralytic, "Rise, take up your bed, and go to your home." And he rose and went to his home. But all the crowd were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house"; and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door. While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men. read more.
When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying. Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven." But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts. "Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?" Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them. "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'? But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"??e said to the paralytic??11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home." The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

One day he was teaching, and near to him were seated Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd. So they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with his bed, into the crowd, before Jesus. read more.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!" And the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying. "What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise and walk?" But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house." And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God. Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."

So he left them and went outside the city, to Bethany, and spent the night there. At dawn, when he was on his way back into the city, he was hungry; and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away. read more.
When his disciples saw this, they were astonished. "How instantaneously," they said, "the fig tree withered!" In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done; "and everything that you ask for in your prayers you shall have, if you believe."

The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry, and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs). So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it.

and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root. Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up." "Take hold on God's faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply. read more.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Up and hurl yourself into the sea!' and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him. That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.

Long time, therefore, they tarried there, speaking fearlessly in the Lord, who attested the word of his grace by permitting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."

Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.

God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul;

In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers.

Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe."

And when he had gone indoors, they came to him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" asked Jesus. "Yes, Lord," they answered.

He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole,

"From childhood," he answered; "and often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." Jesus said to him. "'If you can'! All things can be for one who believes." The boy's father with a cry said instantly. "I do believe; help my unbelief."

"If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they had not repented. "Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented, long ago, in sackcloth and ashes. "Moreover, I tell you it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of Judgment, than for you. read more.
"And you too, Capernaum! Will you be exalted even to heaven? You shall go down to the Place of Death! For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which have been done in you, it would have remained until this day. "I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you."

And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed miracles in his presence to deceive those who had received the brand of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, blazing with brimstone.

and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation. For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood; so that they all should be condemned, who are faithless to the truth, but take pleasure in evil.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.

"But if it is in the power of the Spirit of God is already upon you.

through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison-house were shaken; and instantly all the doors were opened, and every one's chains fell off.

But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors during the night, and let them out. He said to them, "Go take your stand in the Temple, and continue to tell the people all the words of this Life." When they heard this they went at early dawn to the Temple, and began to teach. Meantime when the high priest and his followers arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin and all the Council of the Elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to fetch the apostles. read more.
But the officers who went did not find them in the prison; so they came back and reported, "The prison we found locked fast, with the guards stationed at the doors, but when they were opened we found no one inside."

Now when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that very night, while Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison, suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him saying, "Rise up quickly." At once the chains dropped from his hands. "Gird yourself," said the angel, "and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said unto him, "Throw your cloak about you, and follow me." read more.
So Peter went out, following him, but did not realize that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he was seeing a vision. And when they had passed the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led to the city. This opened to them of its own accord; and they went out passed on through one street; and suddenly the angel left him. Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I know for a certainty that the Lord has sent his angel and released me from the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."

She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.

God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul; so much so, that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick; and their diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.

It happened however that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him. After this all the other sick people on the island came, and continued to be restored to health.

With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.

Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.

And as he went on from thence two blind men followed Jesus, crying, "Have pity on us, Son of David!"

And two blind men, sitting by the side of the road, heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried out, "Have pity on us, Master, Son of David!"

Then they brought to him a blind and deaf demoniac; and he healed him, so that the dumb both spoke and saw.

And as they were departing a dumb demoniac was brought to him,

Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.

The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did.

For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet

Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit."

Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;

There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book; but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Jesus then left that place, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit." But he answered her not a word. Then the disciples came up and kept beseeching him. "Send her away," they said, "because she wails after us." read more.
In reply he said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and knelt to him and said, "Lord, do help me." He answered, "It is not seemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." "True, Lord," she said, "but even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus answered her. "O woman, great is your faith. It shall be for you even as you desire." And from that hour her daughter was healed.

After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid. Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. read more.
"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." "True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children's crumbs." "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter." So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.

But Jesus called his disciples to him and said: "My heart yearns over the crowd, for they have been with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat. I am not willing to send them away hungry, for fear they faint on the road."

They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

Moreover these signs shall follow those who believe. They shall drive out demons in my name; they shall speak with new tongues in foreign languages;

"And his name, on the ground of faith in his name, has made strong this man, whom you now see and know; yes, the faith that is through him has made this man sound and strong again, in the presence of you all.

"whilst thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; grant too, that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant, Jesus."

But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.

God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.

Twelve of them whom he also called "Apostles," he appointed to be with him, and also that he might send them out to preach, and to have authority to cast out demons.

Moreover these signs shall follow those who believe. They shall drive out demons in my name; they shall speak with new tongues in foreign languages; they shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any poison it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.

And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out. "What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him." read more.
So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;

And there was in the synagogue a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. He cried out, in a loud voice, saying. "Ha! Jesus of Nazareth, what business have you with us? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, you holy one of God!" And Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quiet! Come out of him." And when the demon had thrown the man down before them, he came out of him without doing him any harm. read more.
All were amazed, and began to ask one another, saying. "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly. And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying. read more.
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us." Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home, but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.

Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary. The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you." read more.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean. when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God. "And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus. "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David, "and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?" "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God. "And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren. "For no word of God shall be void of power." Then Mary said: "Behold I am Lord's slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her. Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah; and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit, and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child! "But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me? "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb. "And blessed is she who believed that the Lord's words spoken to her would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul doth magnify the Lord, "My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour, "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed. "For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name. "His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him. "He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts; "he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree. "The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away. "He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy, "As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home. Now when the time of Elizabeth's delivery was come, she gave birth to a son; and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her, and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father, when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John." Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!" Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child. So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John." Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about. All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord's hands was with him. And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying. "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people, "And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David, "As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us. "He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant, "The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather, "That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear, "In holiness and righteousness before him All our days. "And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way "To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins, "Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us, "To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace." And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.

She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.

God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul;

But Jesus called his disciples to him and said: "My heart yearns over the crowd, for they have been with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat. I am not willing to send them away hungry, for fear they faint on the road." "In a lonely place like this," asked the disciple. "where can we get bread enough to satisfy such a crowd?" "How many loaves have you?" answered Jesus. They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish. read more.
So when he had summoned the crowd, and seated them upon the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. And all ate and were satisfied, and of the fragments that remained they gathered seven large basketfuls. And those who ate numbered four thousand, besides the women and children. When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.

In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them. "My heart aches for the crowd, because they have remained with me three days now, and they have nothing to eat; and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance." read more.
"Where will it be possible," answered his disciples, "for one to fill these men with bread in a lonely place like this?" He asked them, "How many loaves have you?" "Seven," they said. So he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground; and when he had taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples to distribute to the crowd. They had also a few small fish; after blessing these he told his disciples to distribute them also. They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers. They that had eaten were about four thousand.

So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

"What," said they, "shall we do with these men? For it is well known throughout Jerusalem that a notable miracle has been performed by them, and we cannot deny it.

When he entered Capernaum, an army captain came, and entered him,

Here the slave of a certain Roman captain, a man dear to his master, was ill, and at the point of death.

"He is not here; he is risen. Do you remember how he told you when he was still in Galilee

"No man is taking it away from me. I am laying it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

Long time, therefore, they tarried there, speaking fearlessly in the Lord, who attested the word of his grace by permitting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.

God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul;

After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum. Here the slave of a certain Roman captain, a man dear to his master, was ill, and at the point of death. So when the captain heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to ask him to come and save his slave. read more.
And they, when they reached Jesus, asked him earnestly to do this. "He deserves that you should do this," they said, "for he loves our nation, and himself has built a synagogue for us." So Jesus started to go with them, but while he was not far from the house, the captain sent friends to him with a message. "Lord do not trouble yourself, for I am not fit that you should come under my roof, "and so I did not think myself worthy to come to you; but speak the word, and let my man be cured. "For I also am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me. And I say to one 'come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'do this or that,' and he does it." But when Jesus heard this he was astonished and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that." And those who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the slave well.

When he entered Capernaum, an army captain came, and entered him, saying, "Lord, my slave at home is lying ill with paralysis, in terrible agony." "I will come and heal him," said Jesus. read more.
"Lord, "said the captain in reply, "I am not worthy to have you under my roof, but speak the word only, and my slave will be cured, "For I myself also am a man under authority, and I have soldiers under me. To one man I say 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it." As Jesus listened to this reply he was astonished, and said to those who followed him. "In solemn truth I tell you that I have found faith like this in any Israelite. "I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. "but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of teeth." Then Jesus said to the captain. "Go! As you have believed, so be it unto you." And his slave was healed in that very hour.

"yet Elijah was not sent to any one of them, but only to a widow in Zarephath in Sidon.

So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;

And Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quiet! Come out of him." And when the demon had thrown the man down before them, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."

Instantly she fell down at his feet and expired, and when the young men came in they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her husband.

As Ananias heard these words he fell down and expired, and all who heard were awe-struck.

Let no one deceive you by any means. For it will not come until after the Great Apostasy, and the revealing of the Man of Sin, the son of perdition,

even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men's eyes.

Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

So also in your case, since you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for the upbuilding of the church. So let him who speaks with tongues pray that he may interpret.

"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.

"Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me.

And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed miracles in his presence to deceive those who had received the brand of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, blazing with brimstone.

For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will work great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if it were possible, the very elect.

Never neglect the gift within you, which was given in fulfilment of prophecy at the time of the laying on of hands by the elders.

For this reason let me remind you to keep ever blazing that gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty.

and after Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak with tongues, and to prophesy.

Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. But when Simon perceived that, by the laying on of the apostles' hands, the Spirit was given, he offered them money saying,

Desire earnestly the greater gifts. And yet I will go on to show you a still more excellent way.

Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.

And God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various kinds of "tongues."

For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit; to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him. He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" And he said, "Who are you Lord?" read more.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said: "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall be told what you must do."

And so Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on your journey, has sent me that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Instantly something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.

But when John heard, in the prison, what the Christ was doing, he sent by some of his disciples to ask him, "Are you the Coming One, or are we to look for someone else?"

"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying. "This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."

and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away.

As they came into Capernaum the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does not your Teacher pay the temple tax?"

And when he had called his twelve disciples to him, he gave them power over evil spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and infirmity.

Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha??2 it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill." When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified." read more.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. However, when he heard that he was ill, he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea." "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?" Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world; but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him." This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him." "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples. Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep. So then he told them plainly. "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him." Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him." so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away; so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother. So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died; but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day." "I am the resurrection and the life," said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live. And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you." So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him. Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there. When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died." Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated. "Where have you laid him?" he said: "Master, come and see," they answered. Jesus burst into tears. "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said, "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?" Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it. "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb." Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?" Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me." When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."
