5

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus" knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon"s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue"s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
