e making a tumultuous noise, [9:24]said, Go
away; for the girl is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him.
[9:25]But when the multitude were removed he went in and took her hand,
and the girl arose. [9:26]And the report went out into all that land.

11 [9:27]And as Jesus was departing thence two blind men followed him,
crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David! [9:28]And when he
had gone into the house the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to
them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes,
Lord. [9:29]Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith
be it to you; [9:30]and their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them
strictly, saying, See that no one knows it. [9:31]But they went out and
made him known in all that land.

12 [9:32]And when they had gone away, behold, the people brought to him
a man, a dumb demoniac. [9:33]And the demon being cast out, the dumb
spoke; and the multitudes wondered, saying, It was never so seen in
Israel. [9:34]But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons by the ruler
of the demons.

13 [9:35]And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and
curing every disease, and every infirmity. [9:36]And seeing the
multitudes he had compassion on them because they were faint and
scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. [9:37]Then he said to his
disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers few.
[9:38]Pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to thrust laborers into
his harvest.

CHAPTER VII.

THE APPOINTMENT OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES.

1 [10:1]AND calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power over
impure spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every
infirmity. [10:2] And the names of the twelve apostles are these;
First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother; [10:3]Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, the son of Alpheus, and
Lebbeus, called Thaddeus; [10:4]Simon, the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot,
who also betrayed him. [10:5]These twelve Jesus sent out and charged
them, saying; Go not into a way of gentiles, and enter not into a city
of Samaritans, [10:6]but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel; [10:7]and as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is
at hand. [10:8] Cure the sick, cleanse lepers, cast out demons; you
