for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth, Luke xii. 15.

Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, Matt. xvi. 12. And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod, Mark viii. 15. In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy, Luke xii. 1. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump,

Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπε προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης, τοῦ ἄρτου, ἀλλ ̓ ἀπὸ τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων.

Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, a but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

a For God commanded, saying, Honour thy Father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect

by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men, Matt. xv. 4-9. But woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in, xxiii. 13. For the Sadducees say, that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both, Acts xxiii. 8.

and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him, Acts x. 38.

b And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? Mark viii. 27.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? Luke ix. 18.

d And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head, Matt. viii. 20. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house, ix. 6. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath-day, xii. 8. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come, 32. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, 40. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man, xiii. 37. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, 41. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory, xxv. 51. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him, Dan. vii. 13. Whosoever, therefore, shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels, Mark viii. 38. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many, x. 45. And

And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again, Luke ix. 8. They answering_said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again, 19. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people, John vii. 12. Many of the people therefore, when they heard this say ing, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 40, 41. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet, ix. 17.

he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man, John i. 51.

The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? xii. 34. And said, Behold, the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God, Acts vii. 56. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

a And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by interpretation, a stone, John i. 42. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? he saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep; xxi. 15-17.

b But I certify you, brethren, That the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ, Gal. i. 11, 12. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, 16.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him, Matt. xi. 25-27. And all thy children shall he taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children, Isa. liv. 13. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me, John vi. 45. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world thine they were, and thou

gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me, xvii. 6-8. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God, 1 Cor. ii. 9-12. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, Gal. i. 16. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Eph i. 17, 18. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, ii. 8. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, iii. 5. May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God, 18, 19. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, Col.

26, 27. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given

And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles, viii. 1.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another build-gave himself for it; that he might sanceth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ, 1 Cor. iii. 10, 11. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit, Eph. ii. 19--22.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence, Col. i. 18. For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? 1 Tim. iii. 5. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth, 15.
