1 [[Matthew 12.14]] And the Pharisees went out, and consulted together concerning him, that they 2 might destroy him. [[Matthew 12.15]] And Jesus perceived, and removed thence: and great multitudes 3 followed him; and he healed all of them: [[Matthew 12.16]] and he forbade them that they should 4 not make him known: [[Matthew 12.17]] that the saying in Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which said,

> 5 [[Matthew 12.18]] Behold, my servant with whom I am pleased; My beloved in whom my soul has delighted: My spirit have I put upon him, And he shall proclaim to the nations judgement. 6 [[Matthew 12.19]] He shall not dispute, nor cry out; And no man shall hear his voice in the marketplace. 7 [[Matthew 12.20]] And a bruised reed shall he not break, And a smoking lamp shall he not extinguish, 8 [[Matthew 12.21]] And the nations shall rejoice in his name.

5 [[Matthew 12.18]] Behold, my servant with whom I am pleased; My beloved in whom my soul has delighted: My spirit have I put upon him, And he shall proclaim to the nations judgement. 6 [[Matthew 12.19]] He shall not dispute, nor cry out; And no man shall hear his voice in the marketplace. 7 [[Matthew 12.20]] And a bruised reed shall he not break, And a smoking lamp shall he not extinguish,

8 [[Matthew 12.21]] And the nations shall rejoice in his name.

9 [[Luke 6.12]] And in those days Jesus went out to the mountain that he might pray, and he 10 spent the night there in prayer to God. [[Luke 6.13]] a And when the morning had come, he called the disciples. [[Mark 3.7]] And he went towards the sea: and there followed him much people 11 from Galilee that he might pray, [[Mark 3.8]] and from Judæa, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and from beyond Jordan, and from Tyre, and from Sidon, and from Decapolis; 12 and great multitudes came unto him, which had heard what he did. [[Mark 3.9]] And he spoke to his disciples to bring him the boat because of the multitudes, that they 13 might not throng him. [[Mark 3.10]] And he healed many, so that they were almost falling on [Arabic, p. 31] him on account of their seeking to get near him. And those that had 14 plagues and unclean spirits, [[Mark 3.11]] as soon as they beheld him, would fall, and 15 cry out, and say, You are the Son of God. [[Mark 3.12]] And he rebuked them much, that they 16 should not make him known. [[Luke 6.18]] And those that were under the constraint of unclean 17 spirits were healed. [[Luke 6.19]] And all of the crowd were seeking to come near him; because power went out from him, and he healed them all.

18, 19 [[Matthew 5.1]] a And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he went up to the mountain. [[Luke 6.13]] b And he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve; and they are those whom he named 20 apostles: [[Luke 6.14]] Simon, whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James and 21 John, and Philip and Bartholomew, [[Luke 6.15]] and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son 22 of Alphæus, and Simon which was called the Zealot,
