His Life: A Complete Story in the Words of the Four Gospels
Barton, William E. (William Eleazar)
Jesus Christ -- Biography
"He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of
a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these
little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward."
And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the
gospel, and healing everywhere.
And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were
sick, and healed them.
And Jesus departed thence to teach and preach. And wheresoever he
entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid
the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch
if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him
were made whole.
At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
and said unto his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen
from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him."
But others said, "It is Elijah." And others said, "It is a prophet,
even as one of the prophets."
But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, "John, whom I beheaded, he is
risen."
And he sought to see him.
THE CRISIS IN CAPERNAUM
THE FIVE THOUSAND FED.
And the apostles, when they were returned unto Jesus, told him all
things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.
Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. And he saith
unto them, "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a
while." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure
so much as to eat.
And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. And the people
saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on
foot from all the cities, and outwent them.
And he came forth and saw a great multitude. And he welcomed them, and
spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing
he cured. And he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep
not having a shepherd.
And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto
him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and
country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in
a desert place."
But Jesus said unto them, "They have no need to go away: give ye them
to eat."
Philip answered him, "Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one may take a little."
Jesus saith unto them, "How many loaves have ye? go and see."
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
"There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but
what are these among so many?"
And Jesus said, "Bring them hither to me."
