ing one with another, what the rising from the dead should mean; and they asked him, why do the Scribes say that Elias must first come? and they received an answer, by which they understood that Jesus spake of John Baptist, as that Elias, Luke vii. 28-36. Mark ix. 1-13. Matth. xvii. 1-13.

;

And it came to pass, the next day when they were come down from the hill, and that he was come to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes questioning with them and straight- way when all the multitude saw him, they were greatly amazed, and running to him, faluted him; and as he was asking about their questioning with his difciples, the father of a lunatic child answered him, that it was about his child that had an unclean spirit, beth deaf and dumb, and that his disciples could not caft him out. Then Jesus having cast out the spirit, reflored the child to his father whole: and being at home, he shewed his disciples the reason why they could not cast out this devil, Luke vii. 37-42. Mark ix. 14-29. Matt. xvii. 14-21.

And they departed thence and passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it: and he taught his difciples concerning his death and refurrection; but they understood not that saying, and being exceedingly forry, were afraid to ask him, Luke vii. 43-45. Mark ix. 30-32. Matt. xvii. 22, 23.

When they were come to Capernaum they afked Peter about Jefus's paying tribute money. And when Jesus was come into the house, he prevented Peter, telling him, that he should find a piece of money in a fish's mouth, and bad him pay that for tribute both for himself and for Jesus, Matt. xvii. 24-27.

At Capernaum Jesus asked his disciples what it was that they difputed of among themselves by the way; at which, when they were filent at the first, they af. terwards

terwards told him that he was, who should be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Then Jesus taking a child, and fetting him in the midst, taught them that they should have humility even as a child. He also warned the world of offences, admonishing us to take heed, that neither hand, foot, nor eye, make us to offend -that little ones are not to be despised-how our brother finning against us, is to be reproved; as also to be bound and loofed by the church: and to be forgiven to seventy times seven times, as he shewed in that parable of the two debtors to the king, Luke vii. 46-48. Mark ix. 33-37. Matth. xviii. 1-35.

Then faid John to him, we saw one cafting out devils through thy name, whom Jesus taught that he was not to be forbidden, and again warned them not to offend little ones, and to take heed again, that neither hand, foot, nor eye, cause them to offend, Luke vii. 49, 50. Mark ix. 38, 50.

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews fought to kill him. Now the feast of tabernacles was at hand; and Jesus went not up to the feast, as his brethren would have him do, who as yet believed not on him; but he went up after them, not openly, but as it were in secret, John vii. I—10.

And it came to pass that when the time was come that he should be received, he fet his face to go to Jerufalem, and he sent messengers before his face, and they went into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they would not receive him, wherefore they went into another city, and Jesus rebuked his difciples, who would have commanded fire to come down from heaven upon them, Luke vii. 51-56.

Of himself, that he had not a devil as they supposed.

And it came to pass as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples faid unto him, "Lord teach us to pray, as John taught his dif"ciples:" whereupon he the second time, prescribed to them the Lord's prayer: using arguments also to ftir them up to constancy in prayer, and for the confirmation of their faith in obtaining their suits, Luke xі. 1-13.

After these things Jesus sent seventy disciples by two and two into every city and place, where he himfelf would come, giving them instructions, and arming them with power, Mark x. 1-16.

The multitude enquiring after Jesus at the feast, and murmuring concerning him, Jesus in the midit of the feast, taught in the temple; and they wondered at his doctrine; he answered, that his doctrine was not his own, but his that sent him. He alfo anfwered many things to them who reproached and objected against him, and officers were fent to apprehend him. In the last and great day of the feast, Jesus cry ing out concerning faith in him, there was a divifion concerning him amongst the people: but the officers which were sent, and Nicodemus, defended both his person and cause before the Pharisees that spake against him, John vii. 11-53.
