And Simon Peter, and

Andrew, his brother, beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and laded both the boats so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at JESUS' knees, crying, Depart from me, O LORD! for I am a sinful man: for he was struck with fear and surprise, and all who were with him, at the miraculous draught of fishes which they had taken; particularly James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And when the vessels were come to land, Peter and Andrew, James and John, followed JESUS, he having chosen and

called them to be his Apostles, that they might hear his doctrine, see his miracles, and bear witness that he was really the CHRIST the SON of GOD.

The Nobleman beseeching CHRIST to cure his Son.

WHEN JESUS came again into Cana of Galilee,* where he made the water

wine; there was a certain nobleman,

whose son was sick at Capernaum.* When he heard that JESUS was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Then JESUS said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down, ere my child die. JESUS saith unto him, Go thy way, thy son liveth. And the nobleman believed the word that JESUS had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then he enquired of his servants what time his son began

* 6 H.

to amend and they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour in the which JESUS said unto him, Thy son liveth; and himself, and his whole household believed that JESUS had power to do all things.

From that time, JESUS began to

preach and to say, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand; repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
