52 And |he| said unto them —
||Wherefore|| (every' scribe, discipled unto the
kingdom of the heavens] is like unto a
householder^ who putteth forth out of his
treasure, things new and old.
§ 42. Offence at the Carpenter's Son. Mk. vii. 2-6 : cp. Jn. vi. 42.
53 And it came to pass <when Jesus had finished these parables> he removed from thence ; 54 and <coming into his own city> began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying — ||Whence|| hath |this one| this wisdom, and the mighty works ? 55 Is not |this one| the carpenter's ||son||? Is not |his mother| called Mary, and are not his brethren — James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas ? as and ||his sisters|| are they not all with us? ||Whence|| then hath |this one| all these things ? 57 And they began to find cause of stumbling in him.» But |Jesus| said unto them — A prophet *> is not without honour, save in his <= city, and in his house. 58 And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief. § 43. John the Immerser Beheaded. Mk. vi. 14-29 ; Lu. ix. 7-9. 1 |In that' season| heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus: ^and he said unto his servants — ' |This] is John the Immerser, — ]He) hath arisen from the dead, |For this cause] are the powers working mightily within him. 'For |Herod] seizing John, had bound him, and |in prison]'* put him away, — because of Hero- dias, the wife of Philip his brother; *for John had been saying to him. It is not allowed thee, to have her. 6 And desiring ]to kill] him, he feared the mul- titude, because ]as a prophet] they held him.« 6 But <a birthday feast of Herod taking place> the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod; 'wherefore ]with an oath] he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself; *'and ]she] being led on by her mother, — Give me (saith stie) here, dpon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. • And the king ] though grieved] yet <because of the oaths and theguests> ordered it to be given ;
- and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his dis- ciples ]going near] bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus. • Ch:ip. xi.

Mk. vi. 32-34; Lu. ix. 10-17 ; Jn. vi. 1-13. 13 And Jesus ]hearing it] retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, ]apart], — and the multitudes ]hearing of it] followed him on foot from the cities. "And ]comiug forth] he saw a great multitude, — and was moved with compassion "■ over th*'m, and 3ured their sick. 15 And ]evening] arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying — The place is ]a desert], and ]the hour] hath already -assed, — dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, an< buy themselves food. 16 But jJesus] said unto them, ]No need] have they to go away, — give ]ye) them to eat. IT But ]they] say unto him — We have nothing here, save five' loaves and two' fishes. 18 But ]he] said— Bring ]them] tome, here. 19 And <giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, — taking the five' loaves and the two' fishes, — lookiiig up into the heaven> he blessed ; and, breaking, gave ]the disciples] the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled, — and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve' baskets ]full]. ^1 And ]they who did eat] were about five thousand |men|, besides women and children. § 45. Jestut walks upon the Lake. Mk. vi. 45-56 ; Jn. vi. 16-21. 22 And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a « boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the mul- titudes. 23 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the ^ mountain, apart, to pray, — and when ]evening] came, ]alone] was he ]there]. ^-t Now ]!the boat]] ]still many furlongs from the land] was holding off,'- being distressed by the waves, — for Ithe wind] was ]contrary]. 25 And ]in the fourth' watch of the night] he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26 And ]the disciples] seeing him ||upon the lake walk- ing]] were troubled, — saying — It is ]a ghostj ;<■ and ]by reason of their fear] they cried ojit. 27 And ]straightwayl Jesus « spake unto them, saying — Take courage ! it is ill, — ^e not afraid. 28 And ] making answer] Peter said unto him, — Lord ! if it is llthou]] bid me !ome unto thee, upon the waters. 29 And ]hej said- Come ! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came •> unto Jesus. ^ But •Chap. ix. 36. t> Or add (WH) : " there- fore." c Or(WH): "f e." ■i Ace. to Heb. idiom, perh. = "a." « Or ( VVH): " the boat was still in the midst of the spa." f Gr. phantasma, " phan- rniii,"' "apparition." eOr(WHi: -he." fcOrCWH): "t ■ come."
