A Harmony of the Four Evangelists

43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country *. 45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast for they also went unto the feast. 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of

Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye I will not believe. 49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy * See Vol. Nativity, p. 367.

son liveth.
52 Then enquired
he of them the hour when he
began to amend. And they
said unto him, Yesterday at
the seventh hour the fever
left him. 53 So the father
knew that it was at the same

hour in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

THE JUBILEE ANNOUNCED AT NAZARETH.

Luke iv. 14-30.

14 And there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth *, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach de

liverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised, 19 to preach
the acceptable year of the
Lord. 20 And he closed the
book, and he gave it again
to the minister, and sat down.
And the eyes of all them that
were in the synagogue were
fastened on him. 21 And he
began to say unto them, This
day is this scripture fulfilled
in your ears.
22 And all bare
him witness, and wondered at
the gracious words which pro-
ceeded out of his mouth. And
they said, Is not this Joseph's
son?
23 And he said unto
them, Ye will surely say unto
me this proverb, Physician,

heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 but unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And

THE CALL OF THE FOUR DISCIPLES · Matt. iv. 13-16. Luke iv. 31.

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim. 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Gali

many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill (whereon their city was built), that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way.

31 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee.
