LESSON XIII.

JESUS Christ, being baptized, went about teaching men what they ought to do, and performing many miracles to shew that he was sent from God.

He chose twelve companions, who are called the twelve Apostles.

The people who believed what Jesus said, are called his Disciples. You shall now read the account of some of his Miracles.

NOTE.

1 A miracle is some mighty work performed by more than human power: such as causing a storm to cease, or raising a dead man to life again.

From the 8th Chapter of Saint Matthew. WHEN (Jesus) was entered into a ship, the disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

And his disciples came to him, and woke him, saying, Lord, save us : we perish.

And he said 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.

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

LESSON XIV.

From the 9th Chapter of Saint Luke's Gospel.

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 they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down 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.
