eum gaudens et gratias agens. Et alius Judæus exiens, dixit, Leprofus eram, et mundavit me folo verbo, dicens, Volo, mundare; et illico mundatus fum a lepra. Et alius Judæus exiens, dixit, Curvus eram, et erexit me verbo. Jaw, and followed lim, rejoicing and giving thanks. Another Jew alfo came forth, and faid, I was a leper, and he cured me by his word only, faying, I will, be thou clean; and prefently I was clear fed from my leprofy. And another Jew came forth, and said, I was crooked, and he made me ftraight by his word. VII. Et mulier quædam, Veronica nomine, dixit, Sanguine fluens eram ab annis duodecim, et tetigi fimbriam veftimenti ejus, et ftatim fluxus fanguinis mei ftetit. Dicunt Judæi, Legem habemus, mulierem ad teftimonium non venire. Et quidam Judæus poft alia dixit, Vidi Jefum vocari ad nuptias cum difcipulis fuis, et vinum deficere in Cana Galilæææ; et quum defeciffet vinum, præcepit miniftris, ut implerent fex hydrias, quæ ibi erant, aqua, et impleverunt ufque ad fummum; et benedixit eis, et convertit aquain in vinum, et biberunt omnes gentes, admirantes fuper hoc fignum. Et VII. And a certain woman named Veronica, faid, I was afflicted with an iffue of blood twelve years, and I touched the hem of his garment, and preSently the issue of my blood stopped. The Jews then faid, We have a law, that a woman fhall not be allowed as an evidence. And, after other things, another Jew said, d I faw Jefus invited to a wedding with his disciples, and there was a want of wine in Cana of Galilee; and when the wine was all drank, he commanded the fervants that they fhould fill fix pots which were there with water, and they filled them up to the brim, and he bleffed them, and turned the water into wine; and all the people drank, being furprized at this miracle. And another a Matt. viii. 2, &c. b Luke xiii. 11, &c. c Matt. ix. 20, &c. See concerning this woman called Veronica, and the ftatue which the erect ed to the honour of Chrift, who wrought this miracle, above in this Part, Ch. IV. and Eufeb. Hift. Eccl. 1. 7. c. 18. d John ii. 1, &c. T 3 Jew alius Judæus ftetit in medio, et dixit, Ego vidi Jefum in Capharnaum docentem in fynagoga; et in fynagoga erat quidam homo habens dæmonium; et clamavit, dicens, Sine me; quid nobis et tibi, Jefu Nazarene? Venifti perdere nos? Scio quia tu es Sanctus Dei. Et increpavit illum Jefus, et dixit illi, Obmutefce, fpiritus immunde, et exi de homine; et ftatim exivit de ifto, nihilque illi nocuit. Et hæc quidam Pharifæus dixit, Ego vidi quod multa turba venit ad Jefum a Galilæa et Judæa, et maritima, et multis regionibus circa Jordanem, et multi infirmi veniebant ad eum, et fanabat omnes. Et audivi fpiritus immundos clamantes et dicentes, Tu es filius Dei. Et vehementer comminabatur eis Jefus, ne illum manifeftarent. a Jew ftood forth, and said, a I faw Jefus teaching in the fynagogue at Capernaum; and there was in the fynagogue a certain man who had a devil; and he cried out, faying, Let me alone; what have we to do with thee, Jefus of Naza-. reth? Art thou come to deftroy us? I know that thou art the Holy One of God. And fefus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, unclean spirit, and come out of the man; and prefently he came out of him, and did not at all hurt him. The following things were alfo faid by a Pharifee; I faw that a great company came to Jefus from Galilee and Judea, and the fea-coaft, and many countries about Jordan; and many infirm perfons came to him, and he healed them all. And I heard the unclean Spirits crying out, and saying, < Thou art the Son of God. And Jefus ftrictly charged them, that they fhould not make him lyticus in domo. Et dixit mihi Jefus, Ego veniam et curabo eum. Et ego dixi, Domine, non fum dignus ut intres fub tectum meum ; fed tantum dic verbum, et fanabitur puer meus. Et dixit mihi Jesus, Vade, et ficut credidifti, fiat tibi. Et fanatus eft puer ex illa hora. Deinde quidam regulus dixit, Habebam filium in Capharnaum qui moriebatur; et cum audiffem Jefum advenire in Galilæam, abii, et rogavi eum, ut descenderet in domum meam, et fanaret filium meum; incipiebat enim mori. Et dixit mihi, Vade, filius tuus vivit; et fanatus eft filius meus ex illa hora. Et alii quidem multi ex Judæis, et viri et mulieres, clamaverunt dicentes, Vere filius Dei eft ifte, qui folo verbo omnia fanat, et dæmonia ei per omnia fubjiciuntur. Dicunt quidam ex ipfis, Non eft hæc poteftas nifi a Deo. Dixit Pilatus Judæis, Quare vobis docentibus dæmonia non fubjiciuntur? Dicunt quidam ex ipfis, Non eft hæc poteftas nifi a Deo, ut dæmonia fubjiciantur. Alii autem dixe But I lieth at home fick of the palfy. And Jefus faid to me, I will come and cure him. faid, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only speak the word, and the word, and my fervant fhall be healed. And Fefus faid unto me, Go thy way; and as thou haft believed, fo be it done unto thee. And my fervant was healed from that fame hour. Then a certain nobleman faid, I had a son in Capernaum, who lay at the point of death; and when I heard that Jesus was come into Galilee, I went and befought him that he would come down to my house, and heal my fon, for he was at the point of death. He faid to me, Go thy way, thy son liveth. And my son was cured from that hour. Befides these, also many others of the Jews, both men and women, cried out and faid, He is truly the Son of God, who cures all dif eafes only by his word, and to whom the devils are altogether fubject. Some of them farther faid, This power can proceed from none but God. Pilate faid to the Jews, Why are not the devils fubject to faid, The power of subjecting your doctors? Some of them devils cannot proceed but from God. But others faid to Pilate, runt Pilato, Quia Lazarum mortuum fufcitavit poft quatriduum de monumento. Audiens hæc præfes, tremefactus, dixit ad multitudinem Judæorum, Quid vobis proderit, quod effundatis fanguinem innocentem ?. IX. Et convocans Pilatus Nicodemum et quindecim viros, qui dixerunt quoniam non eft natus ex fornicatione, dicit ad eos, Quid faciam, quoniam feditio fit in populo? Dicunt ei illi, Nefcimus, ipfi videant qui feditionem commovent. Iterum Pilatus convocans multitudinem, dixit eis, Scitis, quia vobis confuetudo eft per diem azymorum, ut dimittam vobis unum vinctum habeo unum infignem vinctum homicidam, qui dicitur Barabbas, et Jefum qui dicitur Chriftus, in quo nullam caufam mortis inve nio: Quem ergo vultis ex his duobus dimitti? Clamaverunt autem omnes, dicentes, Barabbam dimitte nobis. Dicit eis Pilatus, Quid ergo faciam de Jefu qui dicitur IX. Then Pilate having called together Nicodemus, and the fifteen men who faid that Jefus was not born through fornication, faid to them, What shall I do, feeing there is like to be a tumult among the people. They fay unto him, We know not; let them look to it, who raise the tumult. Pilate then called the multitude again, and faid to them, Ye know that ye have a custom, that I should release to you one prijoner at the feaft of the passover: I have a noted prifoner, a murderer, who is called Barabbas, and Jefus who is called Christ, in whom I find nothing that deferves death which of them therefore have you a mind that I fhould release to you? They all cry out, and fay, Releafe to us Barabbas. Pilate faith to them, What then fball I de with Jefus who is called Chriftus? Dicunt ei omnes, Crucifigatur. Iterum clamant dicentes Pilato, Non es Cæfaris amicus, fi hunc dimittis, quia dixit fe filium Dei effe et Regem. An forte vis hunc effe, et non Cæfarem? Tunc repletus furore Pilatus, dixit ad eos, Semper gens veftra feditiofa fuit, et qui profuerunt, contrarii eis fuiftis. Refponderunt Judæi, Qui funt qui fuerunt pro nobis? Dicit eis Pilatus, Deus vefter, qui eruit vos de dura fervitute Ægyptiorum, transduxit per mare rubrum, ficut per aridam; et in eremo cibavit vos manna et et carne coturnicum, et aquam de petra produxit, et legem de cœlo vobis dedit: et in omnibus irritaftis Deum veftrum, et quæfiviftis vobis vitulum facere conflatilem, et adoraftis, et immolaftis, et dixiftis, Ifti funt Dii tui, Ifrael, qui te eduxerunt de terra Egypti. Et voluit Deus vefter difperdere vos, et deprecatus eft Mofes pro vobis, ut non moreremini, et audivit Deus vefter `eum, et tranftulit peccatum veftrum. Chrift? They all anfwer, Let him be crucified. Again they cry out and say to Pilate, You are not the friend of Cæfar, if you releafe this mana; for he bath declared that he is the Son of God, and a King. But. are you inclined that he should be king, and not Cæfar? Then Pilate filled with anger said to them, Your nation hath always been feditious, and you are always against those who have been ferviceable to you. The Jews replied, Who are those who have been ferviceable to us? Pilate anfwered them, Your God who delivered you from the hard bondage of the Egyptians, and brought you over the Red fea as though it had been dry land, and fed you in the wilderness with manna and the flesh of quails, and brought water out of the rock, and gave you a law from heaven; ye provoked him all ways, and defired for yourselves a molten calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and faid, These are thy Gods, O Ifrael, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt! On account of which your God was inclined to destroy you; but Mofes interceded for you, and your God heard him, and for a John xix. 12. gave |
