§ 55, 56A-B (Mat 9:35-38; Mar 6:34 §60B, Luk 10:2)

Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel [T: glad tidings] of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every [T: all manner sickness and] disease among the people.

Mat 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes [G: multitude; T: people], he was moved with [GT: had] compassion on them, because they fainted [G: were dispersed; B: were destitute; T: were pined away], and were scattered abroad, [BT: +even] as sheep having no shepherd.

[cf Mar 6:34]

Mat 9:37 Then saith [GT: said] he unto his disciples, [G: +Surely] The harvest truly is plenteous [GT: is great], but the labourers are few; qtext

Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore [GT: Wherefore pray] the Lord of the harvest, that he will [G: that he would; T: to] send forth labourers into his harvest. qtext

Mar 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, [GBT: went out, and] saw much people [G: a great multitude], and was moved with compassion toward [GBT: had compassion on] them, because they were as [GBT: like] sheep not having a [GT: which had no] shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. [cf Mat 9:36]

Luk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [GBT: omit] is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would [GBT: to] send forth labourers into his harvest. qtext

(Mat 9:37 | Luk 10:2a)

[Other texts citing Mat 9:37: IP1:341 (under Mat 10:23)]

GFJN 21 (16–): And I saw the harvest white [John 4:35], and the Seed of God lying thick on the ground, as ever did wheat that was sown outwardly, and none to gather it [Mat 9:37]; and for this I mourned with tears.

WTG 204 (Elizabeth Hudson, 1750): ...without Divine aid cannot even labour or travail in spirit, though sensible of the want of labourers in the harvest [Mat 9:37]

(Mat 9:38 | Luk 10:2b)

GF3:503 (1659): Your ordination and call is by men, contrary to the apostles and Christ, who saith, "not by man or of man [Gal 1:1]," and Christ said, "pray to the Father that he may send labourers into the vineyard [Mat 9:38 | Luk 10:2b]," and such you persecute.

MFU 124f (1655?): And now he trying what his saints and people will do for him in this his Day and time, working in his harvest wherein he is sending his labourers into his harvest [Mat 9:38], which he calls forth to work while tis day, lest the night come when no man can work [John 9:4].

JN1:182f (1653): He hath overthrown kingdoms and nations for abusing and going about to stop the mouths of those that he sent [2 Chr 36:15f]; and hath reproved kings for their sakes, saying touch them not [1 Chr 16:22 | Psa 105:15]: but these were such as he sent; for he never betrusted the powers of the earth to choose him messengers to go on his message [Mat 9:38 | Luk 10:2b]. And hath he now put power in your hand that you should not suffer him to choose his own messengers, by whom he will send to his own people? And have you the message to put into their mouths? and must they go on your errand or his? and will you not give him leave to choose his own servants and what he will employ them about?

DFR 95 (1768): Second, we believe without hesitation, that ministers, who are sent forth by the Lord of the Harvest [Mat 9:38 | Luk 10:2], to preach the Gospel, are favoured with a certain sense of the real states of the people they minister to, so that they are enabled to speak more fully and more particularly to the circumstance and condition of an assembly, than one of the assembly could have done, by all the outward knowledge he had or could obtain.

§ 56C-E (Mat 10:1-6 | Mk 6:7, 3:14-19 §36B-C | Lk 9:1, 6:13-16 §36B-C)

Mat 10:1 And when he had [GT: he] called unto him his twelve disciples, he [GT: and] gave them power against [T: over] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of [G: every (2x)] sickness and all manner of disease. qtext

Mat 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called [G: called; B: which is called; T: called also] Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Mat 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the [G: that; B: which had been a] publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was [T: otherwise called] Thaddaeus;

(Mat 10:1 | Mar 3:7 | Luk 9:1)

[Other texts citing Mat 10:1: GF5:175, GF8:75 (under Mar 3:14f]

GF7:170 (1659): Live in the unchangeable power of God, which will keep you in righteousness, and truth, and love, and unity, and dominion over all the unclean spirits [Mat 10:1], and rough ways, and mountains [Isa 40:4] within and without: that the power of the Lord God may be supreme amongst you, and that ye may in the wisdom of the Lord be preserved.

(Mat 10:5f)

RBA 259 (1678, X.17): [Judas's] commission, as well as that which the rest received with him at that time, was "only to the house of Israel" [Mat 10:5f].... the rest of the apostles were not empowered to go forth and preach after the resurrection until they had waited at Jerusalem for the pouring forth of the Spirit [Luk 24:49, Acts 1:4-8]. Judas's case ... was singular and extraordinary, he being immediately called by Christ himself, and accordingly furnished and empowered by him to preach and do miracles; which immediate commission our adversaries do not so much as pretend to, and so fall short of Judas, who trusted in Christ's words, and therefore went forth and preached, "without gold or silver or scrip for his journey; giving freely as he had freely received" [Mat 10:8-10]; which our adversaries will not do....

(Mat 10:6)

IP3:445f (1670): And now this is my desire and prayer to the Lord, and the travail of my soul in his life and spirit; even that those are yet scattered from the fold of rest, that the residue of the sheep of the house of Israel that are as yet lost [Mat 10:6], as yet scattered up and down in their own apprehensions, conceivings, and several gatherings and ways of worship, and likenesses and imitations of things without the true life and power, may be gathered out of all these into the same life, power, and fold of rest, into which God has pleased of his great mercy and tender goodness to gather us.

GFJN 53 (1650): O Friends, I was sent unto you to tell you that, if you had received the gospel freely, you would minister it freely [Mat 10:8] without money or price [Isa 55:1]; but you make it a trade and sale of what the prophets and apostles have spoken [2 Cor 2:17G]; and so you corrupt the Truth.

GF5:355 (1677): I believe, if a man should knock at your door, and tell you of a benefice of a thousand a year, you could open your doors soon enough, the doors of your ears, minds, and spirits would be quickly enough open to that, to hear such an one; but Christ knocks at your door [Rev 3:20], and you say and tell people, there is no hearing of his voice nowadays; no hearing of his voice that saith, "freely you have received, freely give [Mat 10:8]."

MFU 90, HPS 460 (fund-raising letter, 1654): for there is many members, but one body, and the head cannot say to the feet, I have no need of you [1 Cor 12:20f], for every one, in their measures, may be serviceable to the whole body, in what is called and required, and who dwells in the light, it makes subject, to be serviceable to the body. And now, that nothing may be kept back [Acts 5:1-3], but as you have received freely, so freely you may administer [Mat 10:8], in obedience to the one eternal Light....

JN2:588 (1655): Christ saith to his ministers, freely you have received, freely give [Mat 10:8]. And if you be a minister of Christ & come to my house & freely minister to me spiritual things, I will minister to thee carnal things [Rom 15:27]; such as I have I will set before you, & you shall freely eat [Luk 10:8]; but to give my hay, corn, wool, lambs, pigs, geese, eggs & such things to carry to thy house, Christ gave no such command....

HPS 113 (women's petition to Parliament, 1659): And doth not John a minister, say, As many as receive him, to them he gives power [John 1:12]; And so whom he sends forth are content with his wages [Luk 3:14]; receive freely, give freely [Mat 10:8], and that is set before them that they must eat [Luk 10:8]; they must not go trouble magistrates, the powers of the earth....

SBD 78: Dear brethren, let us maintain in our conduct that noble way we have ever walked in: that as we have freely received our ministry from God by his Spirit, freely to give to the people [Mat 10:8].

§ 56G-H (Mat 10:9-10 | Mk 6:8-9 | Lk 9:2-3, 10:4 § 82H )

Mat 10:9 Provide neither [GBT: Possess not] gold, nor silver, nor brass [G: money] in your purses [GT: girdles] , qtext

Mat 10:10 Nor [G: +a; BT: +yet] scrip for your [G: for the; BT: towards your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves [GBT: a staff]: for the workman is worthy of [T: to have] his meat. qtext

Mar 6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for [B: in; T: unto] their journey, save a staff [T: rod] only; no [GT: neither (3x)] scrip, no bread, no money in their purse [G: girdles; T: purses]: qtext

Mar 6:9 But [G: +that they should; BT: +should] be shod with sandals; and [GBT: +that they should] not put on two coats.

Luk 9:2 And he sent them [G: +forth] to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal [GT: cure] the sick.

Luk 9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey [T: to succor you by the way], neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money [G: silver]; neither have two coats apiece [BT: omit]. qtext

(Mat 10:9f | Mar 6:8f | Luk 9:4)

JN2:260 (1655): But if you say this [forgoing tithes] will soon bring the ministers to be poor, I say you know not God nor his care for his...; against that despiteful mind do I bear witness, who was sent out with out bag, scrip, or money [Mat 10:9f], into the most brutish parts of the nation, where none know me, yet want I nothing [Luk 22:35]. In prisons, in wanderings, in beatings, in stonings, in mocking, my joy I would not change for all the parsonages in the world, nor shall any hireling partake of it.

JWJM 59 (17–): As the disciples were sent forth without any provision for their journey and our Lord said the workman is worthy of his meat [Mat 10:9f], their labour in the gospel was considered as a reward for their entertainment, and therefore not received as a gift; yet in regard to my present journey I could not see my way clear in that respect.

(Mat 10:10a)

[Other texts citing Mat 10:10a: GF7:13 (John 12:6)]

GF3:495 (1659): And they that went on his message were not to take two coats [Mat 8:10]: and when they went on his message, they did not go to dress themselves with boot-hose-tops, and double cuffs, and ribands, and rings, as the priest doth....

GF6:49 (1679): And so Christ, in his new testament and new covenant, who sent forth his twelve disciples [Mat 10:5], and after his seventy [Luk 10:1], to to preach the gospel, he did not send them with any carnal weapons or armour, or any carnal set maintenance, or tithes, as was in the old covenant; nay, they were not so much as to take a bag or a staff to defend them [Mat 10:10].

(Mat 10:10b | Luk 10:7)

Other texts citing Mat 10:10b: GF3:10, JN1:255, JWJM 59 (all under Luk 10:7f)

GF7:35f (1653): Friends,—The counsel of the living God to you all is, that ye may come to discern the ministers of God and Christ from the ministers of the world, that have gotten the scriptures for their cloak, and with them make a colour to deceive, and tell you, "that they are the ministers of Jesus Christ, and Christ hath sent them;" [2 Cor 11:13] who sue you at the law, and hale you before magistrates for tithes and maintenance, when they do you no work, nor have ye hired them. Yet they come and tell you, "the workman is worthy of his meat [Mat 10:10b], and the labourer is worthy of his hire [Luke 10:7]." Here the custom of sin hath taken away the sense; they are so accustomed to it.

MFU 11, MFS 104 (first letter to Fox, 1652): My own dear heart, though thou hast shaked the dust of your foot at him who would not receive thee, nor is not worthy of thee–which shall be a testimony against him for ever [Mar 6:11 | Luk 9:5]–yet thou knowest that we have received thee into our hearts, & shall live with thee eternally.

MFU 208 (1656): And whereas thou broughtest that scripture where Christ said be wise as serpents [Mat 10:16], that was when Christ sent forth his disciples amongst the wolfish natures of men, as thou may see in the next verse: beware of men [Mat 10:17], but that was not to hinder them of their message and testimony that they were to bear of him, for he told them that they should be brought before governors for his name's sake and for a testimony against them [Mat 10:18].

JN1:495f (1655): as touch ing your accusing George Fox, that he said "that he was equal with God": ... according to the Scripture and the words of Christ, "When you are called before the rulers for my name's sake, take no thought what to speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you [Mat 10:18-20]." Now George Fox being called before the rulers for the name of Christ, he denies George Fox to speak, and the creature who is but dust, and witnesseth the Spirit of the Father speaking in him (though the words pass through George Fox), and the words of Christ fulfilled.

GF8:235 (1683): God, who made all, pours out of his spirit upon all men and women in the world [Joel 2:28], in the days of his new covenant, yea, upon whites and blacks, Moors, and Turks, and Indians, Christians, Jews, and Gentiles, that all with the spirit of God, might know God and the things of God [1 Cor 2:12], and serve and worship him in his spirit and truth [John 4:24], that he hath given them.

HPS 183 (Katharine Evans and Sarah Chevers, prisoners of the Inquisition, 1662): They said, Their holy women did pray for us, and we should be honoured of all the world if we would turn. We said, we were of God, and the whole world did lie in wickedness [1 Jn 5:19]; and we denied the honour of the world, and the glory too. They said, We should be honoured of God too, but now we were hated of all [Mat 10:22 ||].

MFU 208 (1656): and whereas thou says when they was persecuted in one city he bade them fly to another, read [Mat 10:23] ... "verily I say unto you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man come"; & therefore hath hastened them to go on with their testiomony, that they might finish it upon the cities before he suffered; not that he would have had them to _____ their testimony for fear of persecution, as the deceitful mind would read it, & so get strength to fly in time of persecution.

IP1:341f (1660): So Christ sending his disciples in haste to preach the gospel, bids them not salute in the way [Luk 10:4], nor be stopped by persecution, but hasten to publish the sound of Christ's coming in the cities of Israel, "For the harvest was great, but the labourers few [Mat 9:37]," and yet notwithstanding all the haste they could make, they should not have "gone over the cities of Israel, before the Son of Man come [Mat 10:23]. There is a time to suffer persecution, and a time to flee from persecution; and both of these are to be known in the Lord, and to be obeyed in the leadings of his Spirit; but ... the scriptures before mentioned ... show that Christians are not generally to flee, but to stand in the service and work to which they are called; bearing witness not only by believing and publishing, but also by suffering for the testimony of the truth.

And, Friends, "Fear not him that can kill the body [Mat 10:28]," I say, fear him not that can spoil thy goods [Heb 10:34], be not afraid of them; for when they have done that, they can do no more; for the life is over them all, they cannot touch that.

IP3:85 (1668): ... he saith, "The body of man is that Tophet that was ordained of old, and the spirit of reason is that king, which must abide in this Tophet [Isa 30:33]." Observ. The body of man was God's temple before it was defiled with sin; and is God's temple again, when it is purified and purged from sin [1 Cor 6:19]. Now him that defileth this temple of God, him will God destroy [1 Cor 3:17]. And Christ said, Fear him who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into Hell. Luk 12:5. What is he able to cast into Hell? Why, both body and soul, Mat 10:28. Then the body of man is not the Tophet or Hell: but Tophet is that whereinto the souls and bodies of the wicked are to be cast.

HPS 185 (Katharine Evans, prisoner of the Inquisition, 1662): Though he had the Inquisition, with all the countries round about, on his side [Ezek 5:5f?], and was alone by myself, I did not fear them; if there were thousands more, the Lord was on my right hand [Psa 16:8], and the worst they could do, was but to kill the body [Mat 10:28 | Luk 12:4], they could not touch my life no more than the Devil could Job's [Job 2:6].

JWJM 178f (17–): In observing their dull appearance at sea and the pining sickness of some of [the fowls kept on board], I often remembered the Fountain of Goodness, who gave being to all creatures, and whose love extends to that of caring for the sparrows [Mat 10:29]...and believe a less number carried off to eat at sea would be more agreeable to this pure wisdom [James 3:17].

And also it is the work of his disciples and messengers to break the bonds and unity of the wicked, wherein they are banded against God and his Truth....

And from hence it is, that wherever the gospel comes in power, it kindles a flame round about, setting father against son, and son against father, husband against wife, wife against husband, &c. [Mat 10:35] Yea, it goes closer than so; it sets one part in man against another; and the fight is very bitter and sharp, till one of these be subdued, and then there is peace; fleshly peace, if the wise, fleshly part prevail; spiritual peace, if the week, foolish thing (to the world) in the heart, which is of God, prevail.

Now all the spiritual enemies, all the enemies of a man's own house [Mat 10:36], are to be destroyed by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, working by his grace in the heart; which being received, subjected to, dwelt in, and obeyed, brings deliverance and salvation from them all.

WPR 159 (1682): And as Christ said to others (of old), A man's enemies are those of his own house [Mat 10:36, Mic 7:6]; so Christ's enemies now, are chiefly those of his own profession: They spit upon him, they nail and pierce him, they crown him with thorns , they give him gall and vinegar to drink [margin: Mat 27]. Nor is it hard to apprehend; for they that live in the same evil nature and principle [as] the Jews did, that crucified him outwardly, must needs crucify him inwardly....

WTG 70 (Susanna Morris, 1745): [God] alone can help all that truly trust in him for his assistance and give them to know an overcoming of the willings and runnings [Rom 9:16] of the first nature, wherefore it may well be said that the worst enemies a man has are those of his own house [Mic 7:6, Mat 10:36].

Other texts citing Mat 10:37: GF3:352f (under Mat 19:29) GF7:46 (Luk 14:33), JN1:104 (Mat 23:9)

GF3:369f (1659): And the apostles, the faithful in all the ages, that wandered up and down, did the will of God, spoke the word of God, were commanded and moved of the Lord, forsook all for Christ. Christ doth not teach man sin. And he that doth not forsake all, ... house, lands, wife, children, whatsoever, he that esteems any of those more than Christ, ... he is not worthy of him [Mat 10:37 /19:29]. And they that do not forsake all and come out of all, are in the sinful neglect of the family of the Lord of heaven and earth, and they stick below in their own ceiled houses [Hag 1:4], ... and there garnishing the sepulchres [Mat 23:29], and living in all fashions, customs, honours and pleasures of the world.

JN1:134 (1653): ...must not all that will come to Christ "forsake the world"? And were they not in their calling who left their ships, their fathers [Mat 4:22], and receipt of custom [Mat 9:9], and wife and children, and lands, to follow the commands of Christ [Mat 10:37]? O thou enemy of all obedience to Christ, dost thou reproach that which thy carnal heart will not suffer thee to follow? thou shalt find it true, that whoever doth not forsake these for Christ's sake cannot be his disciple [Luk 14:33]; but it seems the nearer to Christ that any comes in obedience, the greater is thy malice to such, thou showest thy generation.

EQ 238 (Isaac Penington, 167-?): There is no safe dallying with truth. He that puts his hand to the plow must not look back at anything in this world [Luk 9:62], but take up the cross and follow Christ in the singlehearted obedience, hating father, mother, goods, wife land, yea all for his sake; or he is not worthy of him [Mat 10:37 | Luk 14:26].

SIW 161 (Ann Crowley, 18–): I was much proved in the prospect of again leaving home, as my beloved sister Saunders was in a declining state of health, not likely to survive many weeks; but I remembered it is declared in the Scriptures of Truth [Dan 10:21], that those who love any thing more than Christ, are not worthy of Him [Mat 10:37] and I endeavoured to seek after resignation to the will of my Heavenly Father, trusting in his goodness and mercy [Psa 23:6]....

(Mat 10:37f | Luk 14:26f)

JWJM 173 (1772): This afternoon felt a tender sympathy of soul with my poor wife and family left behind ...and a sense of that gracious assistance through which my mind hat been strengthened to take up the cross and leave them [Mat 10:37f], to travel in the love of Truth, hath begotten thankfulness in my heart to our great Helper [Psa 54:4, Heb 13:6].

(Luk 14:27 | Mat 10:38)

JN2:6 (1655): And thou that deniest this to be a lawful call, stop thy mouth forever professing thyself a minister of Christ, who knows not a call out of the world [John 15:19] nor his doctrine who said, He that will not take up his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple [Luk 14:27]; but your calling is where you may have all, and not where you must forsake all [Luk 14:33]; you are no such disciples, nor so taught.

WPR 226, WPT 29 (1668): [quotes Rom 2:13] ... obedience is so absolutely necessary, that short of it there can be no acceptance; nor let any fancy that Christ hath so fulfilled [the law] for them, as to exclude their obedience from being requisite to their acceptance, but only as their Pattern, For unless ye follow me, saith Christ, ye cannot be my disciples [Luk 14:27] ... if Christ had fulfilled it on our behalf, and we not enabled to follow his example, there would not be doers, but only one doer of the Law justified before God [Rom 2:13].

DFR 90 (1773): The apostle, in a solemn manner, declares, "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live" [Rom 8:13]; and Christ says, "whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple" [Lk 14:27]. These are unalterable terms of salvation the only way to peace here, and everlasting felicity in the life which is to come.

IP1:410 (1660): This is the true way of restoration, of redemption; first to be lost [Mat 10:39], to be overcome, to be drowned, to be made nothing by that which is not ; that it may come to be in him, and he be quickened, raised up, and perfected in that, and so become possessor of the fulness.

WTG 347 (Ann Moore, 1764): [On shipboard, French privateers are approaching] Then I thought I would follow the captain's example, and put on some of the best of my clothes, but when I attempted it I lost all power and seemed as though I should have fainted. Then I looked them up, and said, If they take part they must take all, for I cannot put any of them on, and turning into my lodging room I sat down alone, querying in my mind what could be the matter. When the language passed secretly through me, They that will lose their lives for my sake shall save them [Mat 10:39]. Then I gave all up, as though I had never owned them, not expecting to keep any of them, and felt sweet peace.

MFU 75f (1654): dear brother Anthony, thou hast been serviceable to the Lord since thou wast called, thou shalt not lose thy reward [Mat 10:42], if thou wait thou wilt see the treasure of infinite riches open to thee, & the inheritance which never fades away [1 Pet 1:4]....

IP3:42 (1667): Hath not Christ made us kings and priests to God, even his Father [Rev 5:10]? ...And if we be priests, ... what makes our sacrifices savory and acceptable? Is it not that of his Spirit, that of his life, which is in them [1 Pet 2:5]? Is it not the faith, the love, the obedience, which are all of him, wherein they are offered? If we should give our bodies to be burned (in the way of testifying to truth), without this would they be accepted [1 Cor 13:3]? If we give but a cup of cold water in this, is it not accepted [Mat 10:42]?

§58 (Mat 14:1-12 | Mar 6:14-29 | Luk 9:7-9, 3:18-20)

Mat 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

Mat 14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen [GT: +again] from the dead [T: death]; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in [GT: great works are (T: are such miracles) wrought by] him.

Mat 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on [GBT: taken] John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. qtext

Mat 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Mat 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude [BT: people], because they counted him as a prophet.

Mat 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept [T: come], the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

Mat 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to [GBT: that he would] give her whatsoever she would ask.

Mat 14:8 And she, being before instructed [B: instruct; T: informed] of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger [GBT: platter].

Mat 14:9 And the king was sorry [T: sorrowed]: nevertheless for the oath's sake [G: because of the oath], and them which sat with him [BT: also] at meat [GBT: the table], he commanded it to be given her.

Mat 14:10 And he [GBT: omit] sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Mat 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger [GBT: platter], and given to the damsel [G: maid]: and she brought it to her mother.

Mat 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the [BT: his] body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Mar 6:14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad [G: made manifest]) and he [GT: omit] said, That John the Baptist was risen [GBT: John Baptist is risen again] from the dead [T: death], and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in [G: great works (T: miracles) are wrought by] him.

Mar 6:15 Others said, That [GBT: omit] it is Elias. And others [GBT: some] said, That [GBT: omit] it is a prophet, or as one of the [G: those] prophets.

Mar 6:16 But when Herod heard thereof [G: it; BT: of him], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead [BT: death again].

Mar 6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon [GT: had taken; B: laid hands upon] John, and bound him in [T: and cast him into] prison for Herodias' sake, [GT: +which was] his brother Philip's wife: for [GT: because] he had married her. qtext

Mar 6:18 For John had [GBT: omit] said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

Mar 6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against [GBT: laid wait against (BT: for)] him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

Mar 6:20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him [G: reverenced him; BT: gave him reverence]; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

Mar 6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that [G: But the time being convenient, when] Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains [G: banquet to his princes and captains], and chief estates of Galilee;

Mar 6:22 And when [GT: omit] the daughter of the said [GB: same] Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him [G: at table together; BT: at board also (T: +Then)], the king said unto the damsel [G: maid; T: maiden], Ask of me whatsoever [GBT: what] thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

Mar 6:23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, [GBT: +even] unto the half of my kingdom.

Mar 6:24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist [GBT: John Baptist's head].

Mar 6:25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by [G: would that thou shouldst give me even now] in a charger the head of John the [GBT: omit] Baptist.

Mar 6:26 And the king was exceeding [G: very; BT omit] sorry; yet [BT: howbeit] for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him [G: at table with him; BT: at supper also], he would not reject her [G: refuse her; B: cast her off; T: put her beside her purpose].

Mar 6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner [GBT: the hangman], and commanded his head to [G: gave charge that his head should] be brought [GBT: +in]: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

Mar 6:28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel [G: maid; T: maiden (2x)]: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

Mar 6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse [GBT: body], and laid [GT: put] it in a tomb.

Luk 9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed [G: he doubted; BT: doubted], because that it was said of some, that John was risen [GBT: +again] from the dead [BT: death];

Luk 9:8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others [GB: some], that one of the old prophets was risen again.

Luk 9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

Luk 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he [John] unto the people.

Luk 3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by [GBT rebuked of] him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

Luk 3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

§ S60 (Mat 14:13-21 | Mar 6:33-44 | Luk 9:12-17 | Joh 6:2-14)

Mat 14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart [BT: out of the way]: and when the people had heard thereof [G: multitude had heard it], they followed him on foot out of the [T: their] cities.

Mat 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude [BT: much people], and was moved with compassion toward [B: was moved with mercy toward; T: his heart did melt upon] them, and he healed their [T: of them those that were] sick. qtext

Mat 14:15 And when it was evening [GT: even was come; B: the even drew on], his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past [G: time is already past; B: hour is now past; T: day is spent]; send the multitude away [GBT: let the multitude (BT: people) depart], that they may go into the villages [GBT: towns], and buy themselves [GBT: them] victuals.

Mat 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart [GBT: have no need to go away]; give ye them to eat.

Mat 14:17 And they say [GT: Then said they] unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

Mat 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

Mat 14:19 And he commanded the multitude [BT: people] to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to [GT: looked up to; B: lift up his eyes toward] heaven, he [GBT: and] blessed, and brake, and [B: when he had broken them, he] gave the loaves to his disciples, and the [B: the] disciples [T: +gave them] to the multitude [BT: people].

Mat 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled [GBT sufficed]: and they took [BT: gathered] up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Mat 14:21 And they that had eaten were [T: ate were in number] about five thousand men, beside women and [G: +little] children.

Mar 6:33 And the people saw [BT: spied] them departing [GBT: when they departed], and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent [GBT: came thither before] them, and came together [G: assembled] unto him.

Mar 6:35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [GT: day] is far passed:

Mar 6:36 Send them away [GBT: Let them depart], that they may go into the country round [G: +and towns] about, and into the villages [G: omits; BT: and into the towns], and buy themselves [GBT: them] bread: for they have nothing to eat.

Mar 6:37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

Mar 6:38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see [GBT: look]. And when they knew, they say [GBT: knew it (BT: searched) they said] , Five, and two fishes.

Mar 6:39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

Mar 6:40 And they sat down in ranks [G: by rows; BT: here a row and there a row], by hundreds, and by fifties.

Mar 6:41 And when he had taken [GT: he took] the five loaves and the two fishes, he [GT: and] looked up to heaven, and blessed [G: and gave thanks; B: he blessed], and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set [T: put] before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

Mar 6:42 And they did all eat, and were filled [GBT: satisfied].

Mar 6:43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments [T: gobbets], and of the fishes.

Mar 6:44 And they that did eat of the loaves [G: had eaten; B: did eat; T: ate] were about five thousand men.

Luk 9:12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve [G: the twelve came], and said unto him, Send the multitude [GBT: people] away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals [GBT: meat]: for we are here in a desert place [BT: place of wilderness].

Luk 9:13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

Luk 9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

Luk 9:15 And they did so, and made them all [G: caused all to] sit down.

Luk 9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking [GBT: looked] up to heaven, he [GBT: and] blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude [GBT: people].

Luk 9:17 And they did eat [GB: did all eat; T: ate], and were all filled [GB: satisfied; T: all satisfied]: and there was taken up of fragments [GBT: omit] that remained to them twelve baskets [GBT: +full of broken meat].

§ S61 (Mat 14:22-33 | Mar 6:45-52 | Joh 6:15-21)

Mat 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained [G: compelled; T: made] his disciples to get [G: to enter; B: to get up; T: enter] into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side [GT: over before him], while he sent the multitudes [G: multitude; BT: people] away.

Mat 14:23 And when [GT: as soon as] he had sent [B: omits] the multitudes [G: multitude; B: people were sent; T: people] away, he went up into a mountain apart [GBT: alone] to pray: and when the evening [BT: night] was come, he was there [BT: +himself] alone.

Mat 14:24 But [GT: And] the ship was now in the midst of the sea, [GBT: +and was] tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary [GBT: it was a contrary wind].

Mat 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went [T: came] unto them, walking on the sea. qtext

Mat 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a [T: some] spirit; and they cried out for fear.

Mat 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer [G: comfort]; it is I; be not afraid.

Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord [GT: Master], if it be thou [T: thou be he], bid me come unto thee on the water. qtext

Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Mat 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous [GBT: a mighty wind], he was afraid; and beginning [GBT: as (B: when) he began] to sink, he cried, saying, Lord [GT: Master], save me.

Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Mat 14:32 And when [GT: as soon as] they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Mat 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Mar 6:45 And straightway he constrained [GT: caused] his disciples to get [GBT: go] into the ship, and to go to the other side [B: over the sea; T: over the water] before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. qtext

Mar 6:46 And when [GBT: as soon as] he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

Mar 6:47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

Mar 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch [T: quarter] of the night he cometh [GBT: came] unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

Mar 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

Mar 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled [G: sore afraid; BT: afraid]. And immediately [GBT: but (BT: and) anon] he talked with them, and saith [GBT: said] unto them, Be of good cheer [G: comfort]: it is I; be not afraid.

Mar 6:51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore [G: much more] amazed in themselves beyond measure [G: omits], and wondered [GBT: marveled].

Mar 6:52 For they considered not the miracle [G: had not considered the matter; B: understood not the miracle; T: remembered not] of the loaves: for [GBT: because] their heart was hardened [GT: hearts were hardened (T: blinded)].
