And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, 1to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, 81 Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, where32 fore didst thou doubt? And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, 35 unto Gennesaret.

And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts 22 of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth 24 after us. But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house 25 of Israel. But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, 26 help me. And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's 2bread 27 and cast it to the dogs. But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' 28 table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman,

And Jesus departed thence, 29 and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. And there came unto 30 him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them

And Jesus called unto him 32 his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way. And the disciples say 33 unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude? saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded 35 the multitude to sit down on the ground; and he took the 36 seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

Now when Jesus came into 13 the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? And they 14 said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He saith unto 15 them, But who say ye that I am? And Simon Peter 16 answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus an- 17 swered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon BarJonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11 And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and 12 shall restore all things: but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall the Son of man also 13 suffer of them. Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

And while they abode in 22 Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; and they shall kill 23 him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
