ing, said unto them, “Suppose ye that

" the Galileans, because they suffered
« such things ? I tell you, Nay, but ex--

cept ye repent ye shall all likewise

perish. Or those eighteen, upon « whom the towre in Siloam fell, and “ flew them, think ye that they were

finners above all men that dwelt in « Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay : but except

ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 6. He spake also this parable,

ND [Fesus] was teaching in one 10. .

of the Synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a wo- II. man which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift

up

her self. And when Jefus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity, And he laid his hands on her, 13. and immediately she was made straight, Miracle: and glorified God. And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath-day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work : in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the fab. bath-day. The Lord then answered him, 15. and said, “ Thou hypocrite, doth not “ each one of ye on the Sabbath-day, " loose his ox or his ass from the stall, " and lead him away to watering? " And ought not this woman, being a

And when he had said these things,
all his adversaries were ashamed : and
all the people rejoiced for all the glori-

ous things that were done by him. 18. Then said he

“ Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and where

unto shall I resemble it? It is like a “ grain of Mustard seed, which a man

took, and cast into his garden, and " it grew, and waxed a great tree: " and the fowls of the air lodged in « the branches of it. And again he

faid, “ Whereunto shall I liken the

" which a Woman took and hid in three
« measures of meal, till the whole was
