(32)And when they came aboard
the vessel, the wind ceased. (33)And they who were in the vessel, came
and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.
(34)And passing over, they came to the land of Gennesareth. (35)And
when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that
neighbourhood, and brought to him all that had illnesses: (36)and they
besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment: and
as many as touched it were cured.
CHAP. XV.
THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying, (2)Why
do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash
not their hands when they eat bread? (3)And he answering said to them,
And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition? (4)For
