¹ My brethren, and fathers, pray hear what I have to say for my self. ² when they perceiv'd he talk'd Hebrew, they were the more silent. ³ then he said, I am a Jew, a native of Tarsus in Cilicia, but had my education in this city: at the feet of Gamaliel I was instructed in the law, and in the exact decisions of our fathers, and was as religiously zealous as you are at this time. ⁴ for I persecuted this sect even to death, throwing them into chains and prisons both men and women: ⁵ this the high-priest and the senate know too well: from them I receiv'd my warrant directed to the Jews of Damascus, where I went, to bring the converts there in chains to Jerusalem, in order to be punished. ⁶ as I was upon the road, advanc'd near Damascus, about mid-day, all of a sudden a great light from heaven broke all around me. ⁷ I fell to the ground, and heard a voice pronounce these words, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" ⁸ I answered, who art thou, Lord? it answered, "I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute." ⁹ the company actually saw the light, but did not hear the voice of him that spoke to me. ¹⁰ then I said, Lord, what must I do? and the Lord answer'd, arise, go to Damascus; there you will be inform'd what you are to do. ¹¹ but as I had lost the use of my eyes by the splendor of that light, I was led by the hand to Damascus, by those who were with me. ¹² there one Ananias a religious observer of the law, who had the good word of all the Jews in that place, came to see me, ¹³ and being introduc'd, he said, brother Saul, receive thy sight. and instantly I saw him. ¹⁴ then he said, the God of our fathers has singled you out to be acquainted with his will, to see the just one, and to hear the words of his mouth: ¹⁵ that you might testify to all men, what you have seen and heard. ¹⁶ why should you now delay? arise, be baptized, and cleansed from your sins, by invoking the name of the Lord. ¹⁷ at length being return'd to Jerusalem, one day as I was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance. ¹⁸ then I saw JESUS, who said to me, "make haste, and go out of Jerusalem immediately: for they will not receive the attestations you would give of me." Lord, ¹⁹ said I, they know it is I that imprison'd those who believed on thee, and caus'd them to be scourg'd in the assemblies: ²⁰ that I was present, when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, that I abetted the slaughter, and watch'd the clothes of those who slew him. ²¹ but the Lord said to me, "be gone, for I will send you far hence, even to the Gentiles."

⁴ what course of life I led at Jerusalem, where I was brought up from my youth among those of my own nation, is known to all the Jews. ⁵ they can testify, if they will, that I early profess'd myself a Pharisee, a member of the most rigorous sect of our religion: ⁶ and now I stand arraign'd for expecting the accomplishment of the divine promise made to our fathers, ⁷ which our twelve tribes by their continual services, night and day, hope themselves to obtain: yet for that hope, king Agrippa, do the Jews now accuse me. ⁸ you may think it something incredible that God should raise the dead: ⁹ I myself too once thought myself oblig'd strenuously to oppose the professors of Jesus the Nazarene, as I actually did at Jerusalem, ¹⁰ where numbers of converts I threw into jail, by warrant from the high priests: and when they were put to death, I myself was an accomplice. ¹¹ it was I that persecuted them from synagogue to synagogue, and tortured them even to blaspheme: and in the transport of my rage I pursued them to foreign cities. ¹² with such views, authorized by commission from the high priests, I was on the road to Damascus: ¹³ when at mid-day, O king, a light from heaven exceeding the splendor of the sun, broke all around me, and those that accompanied me. ¹⁴ we were all struck down: when I heard a voice directed to me pronounce these words in the Hebrew tongue, "Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me? it is dangerous for thee to kick against the goad." ¹⁵ I answer'd, who art thou, Lord? he said, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. ¹⁶ but rise upright upon thy feet: for I have appear'd to thee in order to establish you my minister in testifying both what you have seen, and what I shall hereafter show to you, ¹⁷ by delivering you from this people, and from the Gentiles to whom I now send thee, to open their eyes, ¹⁸ and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and partake of the inheritance of the saints, by believing on me." ¹⁹ this heavenly vision, king Agrippa, I presently obey'd: ²⁰ first I warn'd the people of Damascus, of Jerusalem, of all Judea, and then the Gentiles, to repent, and turn to God, by acting suitably to their repentance. ²¹ for such a conduct the Jews seiz'd upon me in the temple, designing to assassinate me; ²² but by the divine favour I am still preserv'd alive, testifying to the small and to the great nothing but what Moses and the prophets have predicted should happen: "that Christ should suffer: ²³ that he should be the first that was to rise from the dead: and that he should enlighten both the Jews and the Gentiles." ²⁴ As he was thus making his defence, Festus broke out into this exclamation, "Paul, you are mad: much study has turn'd your brain." ²⁵ I am not mad, said he, most noble Festus, but what I say, is very sound truth. ²⁶ the king is inform'd of these things, to whom I address myself with the greater confidence, being persuaded he is fully apprized of these matters, that were far from being transacted in private. ²⁷ king Agrippa, don't you give credit to the prophetic writings? I know you do. ²⁸ but Agrippa reply'd to Paul, you almost persuade me I shall be a christian! ²⁹ I pray God, said Paul, that not only you, but all that now hear me, were both almost and altogether such as I am, the circumstance of my bonds excepted.

²⁵ and a great multitude of people followed him from Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judea, and from about Jordan.

³¹ Jesus then quitting the confines of Tyre and Sidon, and passing to the confines of Decapolis, came back to the sea of Gallilee.

⁴⁰ Jesus upon his return was received by a great number of people, who expected him.

¹¹ and entring into the house, they saw the infant with Mary his mother, and prostrating themselves, they worshipped him: then opening their treasures, they presented him with gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

¹⁸ Whilst he thus entertain'd them, the ruler of the synagogue came and made his address to him, saying, my daughter is upon the point of death: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. ¹⁹ so Jesus arose, together with his disciples, and follow'd him. ²⁰ When a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, came behind him, and touch'd the hem of his garment. ²¹ for she said within her self, if I do but touch his garment, I shall be cured: ²² but Jesus turned about, and looking upon her, said, daughter lay aside your fears, thy faith hath cured thee: and the woman was cured from that instant. ²³ When Jesus came to the ruler's house, he found a set of flute-players and a crowd of people making a lamentable cry, ²⁴ and he said to them, withdraw, for the maid is not dead, but asleep. and they treated him with contemptuous laughter. ²⁵ but when the company were turn'd out, he went in, and grasping her hand, the maid rose up. ²⁶ the fame whereof was spread over all the country.

³³ then the woman, conscious of what had been effected in her, came trembling with fear, and falling down before him, confess'd the whole truth.

³⁵ Before he had done speaking, messengers came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said, "your daughter is dead, why do you give the master any further trouble?" ³⁶ Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."

³⁸ being come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeing a tumultuous crowd of people weeping and howling,

⁴¹ Some time after, a person nam'd Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came to Jesus, and upon his knees desired him to come to his house: ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, who lay a dying. as he was on the way, the crowd press'd after him, ⁴³ and among the rest a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, having consum'd her whole fortune upon physicians, who could none of them cure her; she getting behind him, ⁴⁴ touched the border of his garment: and immediately her indisposition was removed. ⁴⁵ upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?" ⁴⁶ but Jesus said, somebody has touched me: for I know what influence my power has had. ⁴⁷ then the woman finding she could not conceal herself, came trembling, and kneeling down before him, confess'd before all the people, why she had touch'd him, and how she was instantly cured. ⁴⁸ but he said to her, daughter, don't be under any concern: your faith has sav'd you, go in peace. ⁴⁹ While he was speaking, somebody came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said to him, your daughter is dead; 'tis in vain to importune the master any farther. ⁵⁰ but when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, be not afraid: only believe, and she shall recover. ⁵¹ being come to the house, he suffer'd nobody to go into the room with him, except Peter, John and James, and the young woman's father and mother. ⁵² the company there were all in tears lamenting for her: but he said don't weep; she is not dead, but asleep. ⁵³ upon which, they knowing she was really dead, treated him with derision. ⁵⁴ but Jesus oblig'd them to withdraw; then grasping her hand, he said, my child, arise. ⁵⁵ immediately she came to life, and rose up: and he order'd, that something should be given her to eat. ⁵⁶ and her parents were seized with astonishment: but he charg'd them not to let the fact be known to any one.

¹⁴ but the ruler of the synagogue being highly incensed at Jesus's healing on the sabbath-day, said to the people, there are six days for work, you should come therefore for cure on those days, and not on the sabbath.

²⁵ as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrated himself at his feet, ²⁶ but Peter rais'd him, saying, stand up; I am but a man, as well as you.

¹⁵ and after the lesson out of the law and the prophets was finish'd, the heads of the synagogue sent this message to them; Men and brethren, if you have any instruction to offer to the people, deliver it.

⁸ the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his family, as well as many of the Corinthians, who heard Paul, and were baptized.

¹⁷ but the Greeks in a body fell upon Sosthenes the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal: whilst Gallio was unconcern'd about the matter.

⁸ I John saw these things, and heard them. and when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things.

³ and Jesus held out his hand and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. and immediately he was cured of his leprosy.

⁵ so that excepting the cure of a few sick by the imposition of hands, he would not work any miracle there, ⁶ they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.

¹³ they dispossess'd a great number of demons. many, that were sick, they anointed with oil, and restor'd their health.

²⁵ for a woman, whose child was possess'd with an impure spirit, having heard of him, found him out, and throwing herself at his feet, ²⁶ entreated him to force the demon out of her daughter; now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation. ²⁷ Jesus therefore said to her, let the children first be satisfy'd; for it would not be decent to take the children's bread, and throw it to puppys.

³² and they presented to him a deaf man, that had an impediment in his speech, desiring he would lay his hands upon him.

²³ then taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of town, when applying his spittle to the man's eyes, and laying his hands upon him, he ask'd if he saw any thing.

¹⁸ they shall handle serpents, and if they drink any mortal poison, it shall do them no hurt: they shall lay hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover.

³⁸ When Jesus came out of the synagogue, he went to Simon's house, whose mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and they desired him to relieve her.

⁴⁰ As soon as the sun was set, all sorts of diseased persons were brought before him by their friends, and he healed them all, by laying his hands upon them.

² where a certain centurion had a servant whom he greatly valued, lying sick and ready to die. ³ this centurion having heard of Jesus's fame, sent several elders of the Jews to intreat him to come, and recover his servant.

¹² as he drew near the gate of the city, there was a dead man just then carrying out to be buried, who was his mother's only son, and she a widow: and many people of the town came with her.

¹³ then he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she stood upright, and glorified God.

⁴⁶ Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

³ his two sisters therefore sent this message to Jesus; he, Lord, whom you love, is sick.

⁶ these they presented to the apostles: who after prayer gave them imposition of hands.

¹⁷ Ananias therefore departed, and being arrived at the house, he put his hands on Saul, and said, brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus that appeared to you on your journey hither, hath sent me, that you might obtain your sight, and be filled with the holy spirit.

⁸ Publius's father happening then to lie sick of a fever, and a dysentery, Paul made him a visit, pray'd by him, gave him imposition of hands, and cur'd him.

¹⁴ Is any of you sick? let him send for the pastors of the church, to pray for him, and after giving him the unction, in the name of the Lord, ¹⁵ the prayer that proceeds from faith, shall save the sick; the Lord will raise him up, and his sins that may have been the occasion, shall be forgiven.

⁹ wherefore, to avoid the inconveniences of the crowd, he order'd his disciples to get a small vessel ready to attend him. ¹⁰ for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him.

²⁰ After this they went into an house, and the crowd press'd again upon them, so as to hinder them from taking their meal.

³¹ his disciples replied, you see the multitude press about you, and do you ask, who touched you?

⁶ then Jesus went with him, and when he was advanced near the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to him, saying, "Lord, don't give yourself the trouble of coming, I don't deserve you should honour my house with your presence.

⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, who lay a dying. as he was on the way, the crowd press'd after him,

⁴⁵ upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?"

¹ In the mean time thousands of people being gather'd about him, so as to trample upon one another, he first address'd himself thus to his disciples, beware of the corrupt doctrine of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

³ was very desirous to see the person of Jesus, but could not for the crowd, he being of a low stature.

³⁸ how Jesus of Nazareth divinely inspired by the holy spirit, and with miraculous power, went about doing good, and healing all that were under the oppression of the devil: because God was with him.

²⁰ When a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, came behind him, and touch'd the hem of his garment. ²¹ for she said within her self, if I do but touch his garment, I shall be cured: ²² but Jesus turned about, and looking upon her, said, daughter lay aside your fears, thy faith hath cured thee: and the woman was cured from that instant.

⁴³ and among the rest a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, having consum'd her whole fortune upon physicians, who could none of them cure her; she getting behind him, ⁴⁴ touched the border of his garment: and immediately her indisposition was removed.

¹¹ who had been kept infirm by a spirit eighteen years: and stooped in such a manner, she was not able to hold up her head strait.

⁵ now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years. ⁶ Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured?

²² for the man who was so miraculously cured, was above forty years old.

³³ where finding a man named Eneas, a paralytic, who had kept his bed eight years, ³⁴ Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus, who is the Messiah, gives thee health: rise, and make your bed your self: upon which he immediately rose.

³⁶ praying him to let them only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touch'd it were made perfectly whole.

⁵⁶ and to whatever cities, towns, or villages he went, they expos'd the sick in the publick streets, entreating him, they might but touch the border of his garment; for as many as did so, were recover'd.

¹⁵ insomuch that they brought the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least, the shadow of Peter might cover some of them, as he pass'd by.

¹² or aprons that had touch'd his skin, to the distemper'd, they were cured, and the evil spirits came out of the possessed.

¹⁰ for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him.

³⁴ and he said to her, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, entirely freed from your indisposition.

²¹ at that very time, he cured several of their diseases and distempers, dispossessing evil spirits, and restoring sight to many that were blind.

¹⁷ At another time, as he was teaching, it happened that some Pharisees, and doctors of the law were sitting by, who came from the several towns of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem: when the power of the Lord appear'd in their relief.

¹⁹ so that all the people strove to touch him: for a divine virtue flowed from him, which healed them all.

⁴⁶ but Jesus said, somebody has touched me: for I know what influence my power has had.

⁹ and this they were destin'd to. but you are the chosen race, you are kings and priests, the holy nation, the peculiar people, that you might display his glory, who called you out

¹² As the day began to decline, the twelve came to him, and said, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages for lodging and provisions: for here we are in a desart place.

⁴¹ and they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

¹² Zacharias startled at the sight and was seized with fear.

²⁹ Mary was surpriz'd at the voice of such an appearance, and wonder'd what the meaning of this salutation should be.

⁴⁷ then the woman finding she could not conceal herself, came trembling, and kneeling down before him, confess'd before all the people, why she had touch'd him, and how she was instantly cured.

² where they brought a man on a bed, lying sick of the palsy: and Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, take courage, my son, thy sins are forgiven.

²² but Jesus turned about, and looking upon her, said, daughter lay aside your fears, thy faith hath cured thee: and the woman was cured from that instant.

²⁹ and immediately the source of her disorder was dried up: and she sensibly perceived she was healed of that indisposition.

⁵² and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

⁵⁰ but he said to the woman, your faith hath saved you: go in peace.

⁴⁸ but he said to her, daughter, don't be under any concern: your faith has sav'd you, go in peace.

¹⁹ and he said to him, rise, go your way, your faith has sav'd you.

⁴² have sight, said Jesus, your faith has obtain'd you a cure.

⁹ one day he heard Paul preach, who fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he expected to be cured,

¹⁸ and he said, go into the city to such a man, and say to him, the master sends you word that his time is at hand, and he designs to keep the passover now at your house with his disciples.

²² when one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and as soon as he saw him, fell at his feet,

¹⁷ When he was set out upon his journey, there met him one, who kneeling down before him, said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

⁶ then Jesus went with him, and when he was advanced near the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to him, saying, "Lord, don't give yourself the trouble of coming, I don't deserve you should honour my house with your presence. ⁷ nor did I think myself worthy to attend you: speak but the word, and my servant shall be cured.

⁴⁹ While he was speaking, somebody came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said to him, your daughter is dead; 'tis in vain to importune the master any farther.

²⁵ I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

²¹ Lord, said Martha to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead:

²⁸ When she had said this, she went privately to call Mary her sister, saying, the master is come, and calls for you.

³² Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead.

³⁹ Jesus said, take away the stone. Martha, sister to the deceas'd, said to him, Lord, by this time he is offensive: for he hath been dead four days.

²⁸ and when he was got into the house, the blind men advanc'd: and Jesus said to them, do ye think I am able to effect this cure? they answer'd, yes, Lord. ²⁹ then he touched their eyes, saying, according to your faith, be it unto you.

²⁰ because of your incredulity, said Jesus: for I tell you truly, if ye had ever so little faith, ye might say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it should remove; and nothing would be too difficult for you.

²³ Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe.

⁵⁰ but when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, be not afraid: only believe, and she shall recover.

⁴⁸ but Jesus said to him, except you see signs and miracles, you will not believe. ⁴⁹ the nobleman said to him, sir, pray come down before my child be dead. ⁵⁰ go thy way, said Jesus: thy son is well. and the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went his way.

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, did I not tell you, that if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?

¹⁸ he it was who against hope believed in hope, that he should become the father of many nations, according to what was told him, "so shall thy posterity be:" ¹⁹ far from being weak in faith, unconcern'd at his own bodily decay, being then about an hundred years old, and at Sarah's incapacity of child-bearing, ²⁰ he was not incredulously diffident of the divine promise; but was strong in faith, and did honour to God, ²¹ by the full persuasion he had, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. ²² and therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness. ²³ now this saying, "that it was accounted to him," was not written for his sake alone, ²⁴ but for us also, to whom it shall be accounted, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

² Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.

³³ but he took with him Peter, James, and John. then he began to be in a great consternation and anguish of mind. and he said to them; my soul is exceeding sorrowful,

⁵¹ being come to the house, he suffer'd nobody to go into the room with him, except Peter, John and James, and the young woman's father and mother.

⁴⁰ but Peter turn'd them all out, and kneeled down and prayed, then turning towards the body, Tabitha, said he, arise immediately. she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you: "in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."

²³ When Jesus came to the ruler's house, he found a set of flute-players and a crowd of people making a lamentable cry, ²⁴ and he said to them, withdraw, for the maid is not dead, but asleep. and they treated him with contemptuous laughter.

¹⁷ "if we play a merry tune, you are not for dancing; if we act a mournful part, you are not in the humour."

⁵² the company there were all in tears lamenting for her: but he said don't weep; she is not dead, but asleep. ⁵³ upon which, they knowing she was really dead, treated him with derision.

³⁹ Peter immediately went with them, and when he was come, they conducted him to the upper chamber: and all the widows advanc'd to him weeping, and shew'd the robes and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

¹¹ thus he entertain'd them: and after that, he said to them, our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him. ¹² then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he will recover; ¹³ though Jesus meant it of Lazarus's death: but they understood it of the natural rest in sleep.

¹⁰ so Paul went down, and stooping over him, he embraced him, and said, don't trouble your selves; for his life is in him.

³⁰ hence it is, that many are weak and sickly among you, and no small number now sleep in their graves.

¹³ Now I would not have you, my brethren, be mistaken about the state of the dead, lest you should be as greatly afflicted as those, who have no hope. ¹⁴ for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we must believe that God by Jesus will raise the dead, and assemble them with him.

¹⁰ that whether we happen to be alive or dead, we may be secure of living with him.

⁶ Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest these trample them under foot, and those turn upon you and tear you.

²⁴ and he said to them, withdraw, for the maid is not dead, but asleep. and they treated him with contemptuous laughter. ²⁵ but when the company were turn'd out, he went in, and grasping her hand, the maid rose up.

⁵³ upon which, they knowing she was really dead, treated him with derision. ⁵⁴ but Jesus oblig'd them to withdraw; then grasping her hand, he said, my child, arise.

¹⁴ The Pharisees too, who were noted for avarice, heard all this discourse, and treated him with derision.

³² When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some made it a matter of ridicule: others said, we will hear you again upon this subject;

³¹ and he came, and taking her by the hand, lift her up; upon which the fever immediately left her, and she served them at table.

⁴¹ Jesus then mov'd with compassion, held out his hand, and touching him, said, I will, be thou healed.

¹⁴ then advancing, he touch'd the bier, and the bearers standing still, he said, young man, arise, I command you. ¹⁵ and the deceased sat up, and began to speak, and Jesus delivered him to his mother.

⁵⁴ but Jesus oblig'd them to withdraw; then grasping her hand, he said, my child, arise. ⁵⁵ immediately she came to life, and rose up: and he order'd, that something should be given her to eat.

²⁸ let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good, ²⁹ shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation.

⁴³ when he had spoke this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. ⁴⁴ and he that was dead came forth, his body wrapt in a winding sheet: and his face bound about with a napkin. loose him, said Jesus, and let him go.

⁴⁰ but Peter turn'd them all out, and kneeled down and prayed, then turning towards the body, Tabitha, said he, arise immediately. she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ Peter lent her his hand, and lift her up; and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

¹⁷ " I have made thee a father of many nations," then existing in the sight of God, whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls forth things that are not, as if they were:

²¹ it is he, that will change our vile body into a like form with his glorious body, by displaying that power which is able to subdue all things unto himself.

²⁷ at which they were all so amazed, that they ask'd one another, what's the meaning of all this? what new doctrine is here? for he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

⁵¹ and as soon as he was got aboard, the wind ceased; which still encreas'd their astonishment and admiration:

³⁷ for they were transported with admiration, and said, all his actions are beneficent! he gives hearing to the deaf, and speech to the dumb.

¹⁰ and knowing it was he who us'd to sit begging at the Beauty-gate of the temple, they were filled with wonder and amazement at such an event. ¹¹ As the lame man who was cured, held Peter and John, the people all in surprize ran to Solomon's porch, where they were. ¹² which Peter observing, thus addressed them, ye men of Israel, why are ye so surprized at this event? or why do you look so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or piety, we had caus'd this man to walk? ¹³ the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and renounced in opposition to Pilate, who was determined to let him go.

⁴ and Jesus said to him, take care not to tell any man, but go thy way, shew thy self to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony against them.

³⁰ and they had their sight: but Jesus gave them a strict charge, saying, take care not to let any man know it:

¹⁶ charging them not to discover him. ¹⁷ so that what was said by Esaias the prophet, was fulfill'd; ¹⁸ "behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew justice to the nations.

⁹ As they went down the mountain, Jesus gave them this charge, don't speak of the vision, said he, to any body, till the son of man be risen again from the dead: but his disciples asked him,

⁴³ immediately Jesus sent him away, severely charging him, have a care,

¹² but he strictly charged them, not to make him known.

³⁶ and Jesus charg'd them not to mention it to any one; but the more be enjoin'd them, the more they publish'd it.

¹⁴ and he charg'd him not to tell any man: but go, said he, present your self to the priest, and offer what the law requires for your purification, that it may be an evidence to them.

⁵⁶ and her parents were seized with astonishment: but he charg'd them not to let the fact be known to any one.

³⁰ and as he was at table with them, he took bread, and gave thanks, then brake it and gave it to them;

⁴² and they gave him a piece of broil'd fish, and of a honey-comb; ⁴³ which he took, and did eat in their presence.

⁴¹ I do not by this seek your applause.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to those witnesses, which God had before chosen: to us, I say, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
