T that time: The word of God grew and

multiplied, and Barnabas and Saul returned fromJerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, andtook with them John, whose surname was Mark. Andthere were in the Church which was at Antioch certainprophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Symeon thatwas called Niger, and Lucius of Cy-r-ne, and Mn-a-enthe foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Andas they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, theHoly Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul forthe work whereunto I have called them; and whenthey had fasted and prayed and laid their hands uponthem, they sent them away. And they, being sentforth by the Holy Spirit, departed unto Selecia, andfrom thence they sailed to Cyprus. And when theywere at Slamis, they preached the word of God in thesynagogues of the Jews. And they had also John Markas their minister.

ND Jesus left Nazareth, and came and dwelt inCapernaum, which is upon the sea-coast in the

land of Zabulon and Naphtali, that it might be fulfilledwhich was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

Land of Zabulon and land of Naphtali,The way of the sea, beyond Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles;The people which sat in darkness have seen a great

light;To them which sat in the region and shadow of

death, light is arisen.From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. AndJesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting anet into the sea; for they were fishers. And he saithunto them, Follow me; and I will make you fishers ofmen. And they straightway left their nets, and

followed him. And going on from thence he saw othertwo brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John hisbrother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mendingtheir nets; and he called them. And they immediatelyleft the ship and their father, and followed him. AndJesus went about all Galilee, teaching in theirsynagogues, and preaching the Gospel of thekingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and allmanner of disease among the people. And his famewent throughout all Syria.

THE LESSON. Daniel 2. 17.

T that time: Daniel went to his house, and madethe thing known to Ananias, Azarias, and Misael,

his companions; that they should seek mercies from theGod of heaven concerning this mystery; that Danieland his companions should not perish with the rest ofthe wise men of Babylon. Then was the mysteryrevealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. ThenDaniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answeredand said,

Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever;for wisdom and might are his.

And he changeth the times and the seasons;

he removeth kings, and setteth up kings;he giveth wisdom unto the wise,and knowledge to them that know understanding;

he revealeth the deep and secret things;he knoweth what is in darkness, and the light

dwelleth with him.I thank thee and praise thee,

O thou God of my fathers, who hast given mewisdom and might,

and hast made known unto me what we desired ofthee;

for thou hast made known unto us the kings matter.Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the kinghad appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; hewent in and said unto him, Destroy not the wise menof Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I willshow unto the king the interpretation.

ESUS said, He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.And his disciples came, and said unto him, Why

speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered

and said unto them, To you it is given to know themysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it isnot given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,and he shall have in abundance; but whosoever hathnot, from him shall be taken even that he hath.Therefore speak I unto them in parables, because theysee and see not, and they hear and hear not, neither dothey understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecyof Isaiah which said,

Hearing, ye shall hear and shall not understand,And seeing, ye shall see and not perceive;For the heart of this people is become fat,And with their ears they hardly hear,And their eyes they have shut,Lest they should see with their eyes,And hear with their ears,And understand with their heart,And should turn, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears,

for they hear. Verily, I say unto you, that manyprophets and righteous men have desired to see thosethings which ye see, and have not seen: and to hearthose things which ye hear, and have not heard.
