dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into
their own country another way.

thee I am well pleased.

be comforted, &c. &c.

ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the
ship, asleep on a pillow; and they awake him, and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling,
and, falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the

immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort:
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

LUKE xv. 21, 22, 23.

and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But
the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put
it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And
bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat and be
merry.
