Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day. The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance. creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...

MURDER
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 22
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again, in similitudes, saying. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, which married his son, and sent forth his servants, to call them that were bid to the wedding, and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants, saying. Tell them which are bidden: behold I have prepared my dinner, mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready, come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways: one to his *firm place, another about his merchandise, the remnant took his servants and intreated them ungodly and slew them. When the king heard that, he was wroth, and sent forth his warriors and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 8
Jesus answered them: Verily, verily I say unto you, that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: But the son abideth ever. If the son therefore shall make you free, then are ye free indeed. I know that ye are Abrahams seed: but ye seek means to kill me, because my sayings have no place in you. I speak that I have seen with my father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him: Abraham is our father. Jesus said unto them. If ye were Abrahams children ye would do the deeds of Abraham. But now ye go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they unto him: we were not born of fornication. We have one father, which is God. Jesus said unto them: if God were your father, then would ye love me. For I proceeded forth and come from God. Neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not know my speech? Even because ye cannot abide the hearing of my words.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof. And because I tell you the truth, therefore ye believe me not.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 3
When Peter saw that, he answered unto the people. Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so steadfastly on us, as though by our own power or holiness, we had made this man go? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered, and denied in the presence of Pilate when he had judged him to be loosed. But ye denied the holy and just, and desired a murderer to be given you, and killed the Lord of life, whom God hath raised from death, of the which we are witnesses. And his name through the faith of his name, hath made this man sound, whom ye see and know. And the faith which is by him, hath given to him this health in the presence of you all.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 21
And as Paul should have been carried into the castle, he said unto the high Captain: may I speak unto thee? Which said: canst thou speak Greek? Art not thou that Egyptian which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? But Paul said: I am a man which am a Jewe of Tharsus a city in Cicill a Citizen of no vile city, I beseech thee *suffer me to speak unto the people. When he had given him licence, Paul stood on the steps and beckoned with the hand unto the people, and there was made a great silence. And he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue saying:
Ye men, brethren and fathers, hear mine answer which I make unto you. When they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence. And he said: I am verily a man which am a Jewe born in Tharsus, a city in Cicill: nevertheless yet brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and informed diligently in the law of the fathers, and was fervent minded to God ward, as ye all are this same day, and I persecuted this way unto the death binding and delivering into prison both men and women, as the chief priest doth bear me witness, and all the elders: of whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem for to be punished.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 28
And when they were scaped, then they knew that the isle was called Mileta. And the people of the country showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and put them into the fire, there came a viper out of the heat and leapt on his hand. When the men of the country saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves: this man must needs be a murderer: Whom (though he have escaped the sea) yet vengeance suffereth not to live. But he shook off the vermin into the fire, and felt no harm. How be it they waited when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly. But after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a God.
We know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers and whoremongers: to them that defile themselves with mankind: to menstealers: to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine, according to the Gospell of the glory of the blessed God, which gospel is committed unto me.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PETER Chpt 4
See that none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody in other mens matters. If any man suffer as a Christian man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God on his behalf. For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God. If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them which believe not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved: where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to him with well doing, as unto a faithful creator.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 21
And he said unto me: it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is a thirst of the well of the water of life, free. He that overcometh, shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 22
And he said unto me: seal not the sayings of prophesy of this book. For the time is at hand. He that doth evil, let him do evil still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be more righteous: and he that is holy, let him be more holy. And behold I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as his deeds shall be. I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end: the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without shall be dogs and enchanters and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh leasings.
I Jesus sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David, and the bright morning star. And the spirit and the bride said come. And let him that heareth, say also, come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life, free.
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of prophecy of this book: *If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith: be it, I come quickly, Amen.
Even so: come Lord Jesu.
The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with you all:
Amen.When the Lord thy God hath destroyed the nations whose land the Lord thy God giveth thee, and thou hast conquered them and dwellest in their cities and in their houses: thou shalt appoint three cities in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it: thou shalt prepare the way and divide the coasts of thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it: thou shalt prepare the way and divide the coasts of thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts that whosoever committeth murder may flee there. And this is the cause of the slayer that shall flee there and be saved: If he smite his neighbor ignorantly and hated him not in time past: As when a man goeth unto the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and as his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe, the head slippeth from the helve and smiteth his neighbor that he die: the same shall flee unto one of the same cities and be saved. Lest the executer of blood follow after the slayer while his heart is hot and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him, and yet there is no cause worthy of death in him, inasmuch as he hated not his neighbor in time past. Wherefore I command thee saying: see that thou appoint out three cities.
They spoil the sucking fatherless children, and put the poor in prison: In so much that they let them go naked without clothing, and yet the hungry bear the sheaves. The poor are *faine to labor in their oil mills, yee and to tread in their wine presses, and yet to suffer thirst. The whole city crieth unto the Lord with sighing, the souls of the slayen make their complaint: But God destroyeth them not for all this, where as they ( notwithstanding ) are rebellious and disobedient enemies: which seek not his light and way, ner turn again in to his path. Timely in the morning do they arise, to murder the simple and poor, and in the night they go a stealing.
The ungodly is so proud and full of indignation, that he careth not: neither is God before his eyes. His ways are always filthy, thy judgments are far out of his sight, he defyeth all his enemies. For he sayeth in his heart: Tush, I shall never be cast down, there shall no harm happen to me.
His mouth is full of cursing, fraud and deceit: under his tongue is travail and sorrow.
He sitteth lurking in the gardens, that he may *prively murder the innocent, his eyes are set upon the poor. He lieth waiting secretly, as it were a lion in his den. He lurketh that he may ravish the poor, yee to ravish the poor when he hath gotten him into his net. Then smiteth he, then oppresseth he and cast down the poor with his authority. For he sayeth in his heart: Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it.
They murder the widow and the stranger, and put the *fatherless to death.
Thy ways and thy thoughts, have brought thee unto this, this is thy own wickedness and disobedience, that hath possessed thine heart: Ah my belly, Ah my belly ( shalt thou cry) how is my heart so sore? my heart panteth within me, I cannot be still, for I have heard the crying of the trumpets, and the peals of war.
They cry murder upon murder, the whole land shall perish. Immediately my tents were destroyed, and my hangings in the twinkling of an eye. How long shall I see the tokens of war, and hear the noise of the trumpets.
Nevertheless this shall come upon them because my people is become foolish, and hath utterly no understanding. They are the children of foolishness, and without any discretion. To do evil, they have wit enough: but to do well, they have no wisdom. I have looked upon the earth, and see, it is waste and void. I looked toward heaven, and it had no shine.
Preach in the palaces at Asded, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Gather you together upon the mountains of Samaria, so shall you see great murder and violent oppression among them, for why? they regard not the thing that is right, saith the Lord: they gather together evil gotten goods, and lay up robbery in their houses.
Thou shalt no more see the day of thy brother, thou shalt no more behold the time of his captivity: thou shalt no more rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction, thou shall triumph no more in the time of their trouble. Thou shalt no more come in at the gates of my people, in the time of their decay: thou shalt not see their misery in the day of their fall.
Thou shalt send no man against their host, in the day of their adversary: neither shalt thou stand waiting any more at the corners of the streets, to murder such as are fled, or to take them prisoners, that remain in the day of their trouble. For the day of the Lord is hard upon all the Heathen. Like as thou hast done, so shalt thou be dealt withal, yee thou shalt be rewarded even upon thy head. For like wise as ye have drunken upon mine holy hill, so shall all the Heathen drink continually: yee drink shall they, and swallow up, so that ye shall be, as though ye had never been.
This is the word of the Lord, which came unto Sophony the son of Chusi, the son of Gedoliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezkiah, in the time of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah. I will gather up all things in the land ( saith the Lord ) I will gather up man and beast: I will gather up the fowls in the air and the fish in the sea ( to the great decay of the wicked ) and will utterly destroy the men out of the land, saith the Lord. I will stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all such as dwell in Jerusalem. Thus I will root out the remnant of Baal from this place, and the names of the *Remurins and priests: yee and such as upon their house tops worship and bow themselves unto the host of heaven: which swear by the lord, and by their Malcolom also: which start back from the Lord, and neither seek after the Lord, nor regard him. Be still at the presence of the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is at hand: yee the Lord hath prepared a slain offering, and called his guests thereto. And thus shall it happen in the day of the Lords a slain offering: I will visit the princes, the kings children, and all such as wear strange clothing. In the same day also will I visit all those, that tread over the threshold so proudly, which fill their Lords house with robbery and falsehood. At the same time ( sayeth the Lord ) there shall be a great cry from the fish port and an howling from the other port, and a great murder from the hills. Howl the that dwell in the mill, for all the merchant people are gone, and all they that are laden with silver are rooted out.
THE THIRD BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 4
Then the second which had said, that the king was stronger, began to speak, saying: O ye men, are not they the strongest and most excellent, that conquer the land and the sea, and all that is in the sea and in the earth? Now is the King lord of all these things, and hath dominion of them all: and look what he commandeth is done. If he send his men forth a warfare, they go, and break down hills, walls and towns. They are slain, and slay ( other men ) themselves, and overpass not the Kings word. If they get the victory they bring the King all the spoil. Like wise the other that meddle not with wars and fighting, but till the ground: when they reap, they bring tribute unto the King. And if the King alone do but command to kill, they kill: if he command to forgive, they forgive: If he command to smite, they smite: if he command to drive away, they drive away: if he command to build, they build: If he command to break down, they break down: if he command to plant, they plant. The common people and the rulers are obedient unto him. And the King in the mean season sitteth him down, eateth, and drinketh, and taketh his rest: Then keep they watch round about the King, and not one of them dare get him out of the way, to do his own business, but must be obedient unto the King at a word. Judge ye now, O ye men, how should not he go far above, unto whom men are this obedient? And when he had spoken this, he held his tongue. The third whose name was Zorobabel, which had spoken of women and of truth, began to say after this manner: O ye men, it is not the great king, it is not the multitude of men, neither is it wine that excelleth: Who is it then that hath the lordship over them? Have not women borne the king, and all the people that rule those things? Have not women born them, and brought them up, that plant the vines, where out the wine cometh? They make the garments for all men, they give honor unto all men, and without women can not men live. If they gather gold and silver and all precious things, and see a fair well favored woman, they leave all together, and turn their eyes only unto the woman, and gape upon her, and have more desire unto her, then unto the silver and gold, or any manner of precious thing. A man leaveth his father that brought him up, he leaveth his own natural country, and cleaveth unto the woman: yee he jeopardizeth his life with the woman, and remembereth neither father, ner mother, ner country. By this then yee must needs know, that women have the dominion over you. Doth it grieve you? A man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to steal, to kill, to murder to sail upon the sea, and seeth a lion, and goeth in the darkness: and when he hath stolen, deceived and robbed, he bringeth it unto his love. Again, a man loveth his wife better then father and mother: yee many one there be, that run out of their wits, and become bondmen for their wives sakes: many one also have perished, and have been slain, and have sinned because of women.

And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty third year, and went toward Israel, and came up to Jerusalem with a mighty people: and entered proudly into the Sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, the *candlestick and all the ornaments thereof, the table of the showbread, the pouring vessel and the chargers, the golden spoons, the veil, the crowns and golden apparel of the temple, and break down all. He took also the silver and gold, the precious Jewels and the secret treasures that he found. And when he had taken away altogether, caused a great murder of men, and so fulfilled his malicious pride, he departed into his own land.

DUNG
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood upon his finger, and sprinkle it straight toward the tabernacle of witness seven times. And he shall cause the cow to be burnt in his sight: both skin, flesh and blood, with the dung also. And let the priest take Cedar wood, and Hyssop and purple cloth, and cast it upon the cow as she burneth. And let the priest wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and then come into the host, and the priest shall be unclean unto the evening.
For the Philistines thought that then the Hebrews might make them swords or spears. And therefore must all Israel go down to the Philistines, to mend every man his share, his mattock, his axe or his sickle: as oft as the edges of the sickles, mattocks, dung forks, and axes were blunt, and also to mend their goods. And so in time of battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hands of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathas: save for Saul and Jonathas his son was there somewhat found. And the Garrison of the Philistines came out and stood on the other side before Machmas.
THE FIRST BOOK OF KINGS Chpt 14
Go and tell Jeroboam, thus saith the Lord God of Israel: for as much as I exalted thee from among the common people and made thee prince over my people Israel, and did rent the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it thee: and thou hast not been as was my servant David, which kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, to do that only which seemeth right in mine eyes: but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made the other Gods and images of metal, to provoke me, and hast cast me behind thy back: therefore behold I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam and will strike from Jeroboam all that pisseth against the wall, and what soever is in prison or forsaken in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as men take away a dung hill, till it be consumed. And whosoever of Jeroboams house die in the town, him shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field, shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath said it, up and get thee to thine house, and as soon as thy foot enterest the city, the lad shall die. How be it all Israel shall mourn him and bury him, for this only of all Jeroboam shall come to the sepulcher, because in him there is found goodness toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS Chpt 6
After this Benhadad king of Siria gathered all the Host, and went and besieged Samaria. And there arose great *dearth in Samaria: for they had besieged it, until an Asses head was worth four score sickles of silver, and the fourth part of a Cab of doves dung worth five sickles. And as the king of Israel walked upon the walls there cried a woman to him, saying: help, my Lord king. And he said: Nay, the Lord help thee. But wherewith should I help thee, with corn or wine? Then said the king to her: what aileth thee? And she answered: this woman here said to me, bring thy son and let us eat him today, and we will eat mine tomorrow. And so we dressed my son and did eat him. And I said to her another day, bring thy son that we may eat him. But she hath hid her son. When the king heard the words of the woman, he rent his clothes even as he was walking on the walls. And when the people looked upon him: see, he was clothed in sack under. Then he said: God do so and so to me: if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat tarry on him this day. And as Eliseus sat in his house and the elders with him, the king sent one from him. But before the messenger came at him, he said to the elders: see you not how the son of this murderer hath sent, to take off mine head? Be circumspect therefore when the messenger cometh, and shut the door, and thrust him back therewith: for the sound of his masters feet followeth him. And while he yet talked with them: Behold the messenger was come unto him. And he said: behold, this evil is of the Lord, what more shall we look for of the Lord.
THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS Chpt 9
And then when he was come in and had eaten and drunk, he said: go and visit I pray you, yonder cursed creature, and bury her, for she is a kings daughter. And when they came to bury her, they found no more of her, than the skull and the two feet and the two hands. And they came again and told him. And he said: it is the word of the Lord which he spake by the hand of his servant Eliah the Thesbite saying: in the field of Jezrahel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel, and the carcass of Jezabel shall be dung upon the earth, in the field of Jezrahel, that men shall not say, this is Jezabel.
Hold not thy tongue, O' God, keep not still silence, refrain not thyself O' God.
For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring, and they that hate thee, lift up their head.
They imagine craftily against thy people, and take consul against thy secret ones.
Come (say they) let us root them out from among the people, that the name of Israel may be put out of remembrance. For they have cast their heads together with one consent, and are confederate against thee.
The tabernacles of the Edomites, and Ishmaelites, the Moabites, and the Hagarenes. Gebal, Ammon, and Amalech: the Philistines with them that dwell at Tyre. Assur also is joined unto them, and help the children of Loth. Selah.
But do unto them as unto the Madianites, unto Sisera, and unto Jabin by the brook of Kison. Which perished at Endor, and became as the dung of the earth.
At that time shall it be said: Lo, this is our God in whom we *put our trust, and *he hath healed us. This is the Lord we have waited for: Let us rejoice and delight in his health. For the hand of the Lord ceaseth upon this hill. But Moab shall be threshed down under him, like as the straw is trodden down under feet in a dung hill. For he stretch out his hands upon him, like as a swimmer doeth swim. And with the power of his hands shall he cast down his pomp. As for his strongholds and high walls: he shall bow them, cast them down, and fell them to the ground in to dust.
this is our God in whom we *put our trust, (kjv and other bibles of man = have waited for him) and *he hath healed us. (kjv and other bibles of man =and he will save us)
But tell thou plainly, thus saith the Lord: The dead bodies of them shall lay upon the ground, as the dung upon the field, and as the hay after the mower, and there shall be no man to take them up. Moreover, thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man rejoice in his wisdom, ner the strong man in his strength, neither the rich man in his riches: But who so will rejoice, let him rejoice in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which do mercy, equity and righteousness upon the earth. Therefore have I pleasure in such things, saith the Lord. Behold, the time cometh, ( saith the Lord ) that I will visit all them, whose foreskin is uncircumcised. The Egyptians, the Jews, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the shaven Madianites, that dwell in the wilderness. For all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Moreover, thus sayeth the Lord unto me: Thou shalt take thee no wife, ner beget children in this place. For the children that are born in this place, of their mothers that have borne them, and their fathers that have begotten them in this land, Thus sayeth the Lord: They shall die an horrible death: and no man shall mourn for them, ner bury them, but they shall lie as dung upon the earth: They shall perish through the sword, and hunger, and their bodies shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and beasts of the earth. Again, thus saith the Lord: Go not unto them that come together for to mourn and weep: for I have taken my peace from this people ( saith the Lord ) yee my favor and my mercy. And in this land shall they die, old and young, and shall not be buried: no man shall beweep them, no man shall clip or shave himself for them.
For thus saith the Lord of Hosts: Behold, a miserable plague shall go from one people to another, and a great stormy water shall arise from all the ends of the earth. And the same day shall the Lord himself slay them, from one end of the earth to another. There shall no moan be made for any of them, none gathered up, none buried: but shall lie as dung upon the ground.
Mourn ( O ye shepherds ) and cry: sprinkle yourselves with ashes, O ye rams or the flock: for the time of your slaughter is fulfilled, and ye shall fall like vessels conningly made for pleasure.
The shepherds shall have no way to flee, and the rams of the flock shall not escape. Then shall the shepherds cry horribly, and the rams of the flock shall mourn: for the Lord shall consume their pasture, and their best fields shall lie dead because of the horrible wrath of the Lord. They shall forsake their folds like an lion: for their land shall be waste, because of the wrath of the destroyer, and because of his fearful indignation.Then said I: Oh Lord God. Behold, my soul was yet never stained: for from my youth up to this hour. I did never eat of a dead carcass, or that which was slain of wild beasts, neither came there ever any unclean flesh in my mouth.
Where unto he answered me, and said: Well then, I will grant thee to take cows dung, for the dung of a man, and to strike the bread over with all, before them.
And he said unto me: Behold thou son of man, I will minish all the provision of bread in Jerusalem., so that they shall weigh their bread, and eat it with scarceness. But as for water, they shall have a very little measure thereof, to drink. And when they have no more bread or water, one shall be destroyed with another, and famish away for their wickedness.And now ( O ye priests ) this commandment toucheth you: If ye will not hear it, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, curse them will I if you do not take heed. Behold, I shall corrupt your seed, and cast dung in your faces: even the dung of your solemn feasts and it shall cleave fast upon you. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you: that my covenant which I made with Levi, might stand, saith the Lord of hosts.
THE FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 2
And thus ye may consider throughout all ages since the world began, that whosoever put their trust in *God, were not overcome. Fear not ye then the words of the ungodly man, for his glory is but dung and worthless. Today is he set up, and tomorrow he is gone: for he is turned into earth, and his memorial is come to naught. Wherefore (O' my sons ) take good hearts unto you, and quiet yourselves like men in the law: for if ye do the things that are commanded you in the law of the Lord your God, ye shall obtain great honor therein.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 13
He put forth this similitude: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard: Behold, this three year have I come and sought fruit in this fig tree, and find none: cut it down: why cumbereth it the ground? And he answered and said unto him: Lord let it alone this year also, till I dig round about it, and dung it, to see whether it will bear fruit: and if it bear not then, after that, cut it down. And he taught in one of their synagogues on the Saboth days. And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and was bowed together and could not lift up herself at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her: woman, thou art delivered from thy disease. And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation ( because that Jesus had healed on the Saboth day) and said unto the people. There are six days in which men ought to work: in them come and be healed, and not on the Saboth day.
