The Life of Jesus

And his disciples said vnto him, Thou seest the multitude throng thee, and sayest thou, Who did touche me?

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

And the woman feared and trembled: for she knewe what was done in her, and shee came and fell downe before him, and tolde him the whole trueth.

And hee saide to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.)

While hee yet spake, there came from the same ruler of the Synagogues house certaine which said, Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?

Assoone as Iesus heard that word spoken, he said vnto the ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraide: onely beleeue.

And he suffered no man to follow him saue Peter and Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

So hee came vnto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and sawe the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And he went in, and said vnto them, Why make ye this trouble, and weepe? the childe is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laught him to scorne: but hee put them all out, and tooke the father, and the mother of the childe, and them that were with him, and entred in where the childe lay,

And tooke the childe by the hand, and saide vnto her, Talitha cumi, which is by interpretation, Mayden, I say vnto thee, arise.

And straightway the mayden arose, and walked: for shee was of the age of twelue yeeres, and they were astonied out of measure.

And he charged them straitly that no man should knowe of it, and commanded to giue her meate.

And he departed thence, and came into his owne countrey, and his disciples followed him.

And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue, and many that heard him, were astonied, and sayd, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdome is this that is giuen vnto him, that euen such great workes are done by his hands?

Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him.

Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, and in his own house.

And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them,

And he marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, teaching.

And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits,

And commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles:

But that they should be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coates.

And he sayd vnto them, Wheresoeuer ye shall enter into an house, there abide till ye depart thence.

And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is vnder your feete, for a witnes vnto them. Verely I say vnto you, It shalbe easier for Sodom, or Gomorrha at the day of iudgement, then for that citie.

And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their liues.
