filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and
bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of
the feast had tasted the water _that was made wine_, and knew not whence
it was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,) the governor of
the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then
that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This
beginning of _miracles_ did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. John ii. 7 to 11.
270. And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee. _And his servant was healed in the

unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, _and
rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm_. Matt. viii.
23 to 26.
272. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them,
_walking on the sea_. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit: and they cried out for fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is
I; be not afraid, And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if it be thou,
bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter
was come down out of the ship, _he walked on the water_, to go to Jesus.
Matt. xiv. 25 to 29.
273. And Jesus arose and followed him; so did his disciples. And when
Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people
making a noise, He said unto them, Give place; _for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth_, and they laughed him to scorn. But, when the people
were put forth, he went in, _and took her by the hand, and the maid
arose_, Matt. ix. 19, 23, 24, 25.

Daughter, be of good comfort: _thy faith hath made thee whole_; and the
woman was made whole from that hour. Matt. ix. 20 to 22.
275. And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth. _And he that was dead came forth_, bound hand and foot with
grave-clothes and his face was bound about with a napkin, Jesus saith
unto them, Loose him, _and let him go_, John xi. 43, 44.
276. And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve and said
unto him, send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and
country round about, and lodge and get victuals: for we are here in a
desert place. BUt he said unto them? give ye them to eat, and they said,
we have no more _but five loaves and two fishes_; except we should go
and buy meat for all this people. For there were about five thousand
men. And he said to his disciples, make them sit clown by fifties in a
company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then he took the
five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed
them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
_And they did eat and were all filled_, and there was taken up of
fragments that remained to them _twelve baskets_.
277. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with

and it sat upon each of them. _And they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost_, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them
utterance. Acts ii. 1 to 4.

him, and said, arise and eat, because thy journey is too great for thee.

meat _forty days and forty nights_, unto Horeb the Mount of God. 1 Kings
xix. 7, 8.
280. Moreover he said unto me, son of man, eat that thou findest; _eat
this roll_, (of a book) and go Speak unto the house of Israel. So I
opened my mouth, _and he caused me to eat that roll_. And he said unto
me, son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this
roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it, _and it was in my mouth as
honey for sweetness_. Ezek. iii. 1 to 3.
281. And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under
Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a
staff. _And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass_, and she said unto
Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these
three times. Num. xxii. 27, 28.
282. And I beheld, and lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, _and spake to
her feathers, saying_, watch not all at once; sleep every one in his own
place, and watch by course, &c. Then I heard a voice which said unto me,
look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest. And I beheld,
and lo, as it were _a roaring lion_ chased out of the wood; and I saw
that he _sent out a man's voice_ unto the eagle, and said, Hear thou? I
will _talk_ with thee, and the highest shall say unto thee, &c. 2 Esdras
xi. 7, 8, and xxxvi. 7, 8.
283. But _let_ man and _beast_ be covered with sackcloth, _and cry
mightily unto God_; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and
from the violence that is in their hands. Jonah iii. 8.

strengthened my memory. 2 Esdras xiv. 40.
285. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found; but _a
rod_ is for the back of him that is void of understanding. Prov. x. 13.
286. Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye
have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the
fig-tree, but also, if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea, _it shall be done_. Matt. xxi. 21.
287. And the Lord' said, if ye had faith _as a grain of mustard seed,_
ye might say unto this sycamine tree be thou plucked up by the root,
and be thou planted in the sea; _and it should obey you_. Luke xvii. 6.

pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark xi. 24.
