²⁷ ¶ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no one knows it.

³¹ But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

³² And as they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

³³ And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitude marvelled, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons through the prince of the demons.

6 ¶ And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.

² And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him and such mighty works that are wrought by his hands?

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and of Juda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

⁴ But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not dishonoured except in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house.

⁵ And he could do no mighty work there except that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.

⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went through the villages round about, teaching.

⁵³ ¶ And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

⁵⁴ And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished and said, From where does this man have this wisdom and these mighty works?

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? From where then does this man have all these things?

⁵⁷ And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour except in his own country and in his own house.

⁵⁸ And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

³⁵ ¶ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every weakness among the people.

³⁶ And when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

³⁷ Then he said unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

³⁸ pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

⁷ ¶ And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over the unclean spirits

⁸ and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff only: no provision bag, no bread, no money in their purse;

⁹ but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said unto them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide until ye depart from that place.

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet in testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city.

¹² And they went out and preached that men should repent.

¹³ And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many that were sick, and they were healed.
