Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. 35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light; as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 24 When the unclean Spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none; he saith, JOHN. his mother and his his brethren and his mother and his swered and said swered them, say- swered and said unto him that told ing, unto them, Who is my him, Who is my are my brethren? or my brethren?
