 Send us away､ into the herd of swine.

And he said unto them､

Withdraw!

So |they| going out､ departed into the swine, — and lo! all' the herd rushed down the cliff, into the sea, and died in the waters. And |they who were feeding them| fled — and､ departing into the city､ reported all things, and what concerned them who had been demonized. And lo! |all' the cityl came out to meet Jesus, — and､ seeing him､ they besought that he would pass on from their bounds.

§ 16. A Paralytic forgiven and healed. Mk. ii. 3-12 ; Lu. v. 18-26.

And､ entering into a boat､ he crossed over, and came into his own city. And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic､ |on a couch| laid prostrate; and Jesus､ |seeing| their faith､ said to the paralytic, — Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins. And lo! |certain of the scribes| said within themselves, — And Jesus |knowing| their inward thoughts, said, — To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts ? For which is easier — To say､ Forgiven are thy sins, — Or to say､ Rise and be walking! But  Rise! take up thy couch. And withdraw unto thy house. And､ rising､ he departed unto his house. Now the multitudes |seeing| were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority |such as this| ||unto men||.
 * This man| speaketh profanely!
 * Then| saith he to the paralytic, —

§ 17. Matthew called. Mk. ii. 13-17 ; Lu. v. 27-32.

And Jesus saw a man presiding over the tax-office､ called Be following me. And arising､ he followed him. And it came to pass < as he was reclining in the house> that lo! |many' tax-collectors and sinners| came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples. And |the Pharisees| ||observing it|| began to say unto his disciples, — Wherefore |with tax-collectors and sinners| doth your Teacher eat? And |he| hearing it､ said, — No need have the strong､ of a physician, but they who are sick. But go ye､ and learn what this meaneth, —
 * Matthew| and saith unto him, —
 * Mercy|| I desire､ and not |sacrifice| ;

For I came not､ to call the righteous, but sinners,

§ 18. Then will they fast. Mk. ii. 18-22 ; Lu. v. 33-38.

Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, — Wherefore do |we､ and the Pharisees| fast, whereas |thy disciples| ||fast not||? And Jesus said unto them, — Can |the sons of the bridechamber| mourn, so long as |the bridegroom| is |with them| ? But days will come､ when the bridegroom they fast. Howbeit |no one| layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth､ upon an old garment, — for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and |a worse rent| is made. Neither pour they new wine into old skins; otherwise at least, the skins are burst､ and spoiled, — but they pour new wine into unused skins, and |both| are together preserved.
 * shall be taken from them|, and |then| will

 lo! |a [certain] ruler| came, and began bowing down to him, saying, — But come､ and lay thy hand upon |her|, and she shall live, And Jesus､ arising､ was following him, also his disciples.
 * My daughter| just now died!

And lo! ||a woman､ having a flow of blood twelve years|| |coming near behind| touched the fringe of his mantle. For she kept saying within herself, —  I shall be made well! And ||Jesus|| |turning and seeing her| said, — Take courage! daughter, And the woman was made well, from that hour.
 * Thy faith| hath made thee well.

And  was saying:
