free. But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the
sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and
when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take,
and give unto them for me and thee."

=HIS FACE TOWARD JERUSALEM=

THE FINAL DEPARTURE FROM GALILEE

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. His
brethren therefore said unto him, "Depart hence, and go into Judaea,
that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest. For no
man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly.
If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world." For even
his brethren did not believe on him.

Jesus therefore saith unto them, "My time is not yet come; but your
time is always ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth,
because I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up unto the
feast; I go not up yet unto this feast; because my time is not yet

be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and
sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a

"Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them?"

But he turned, and rebuked them. And they went to another village.

And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was
passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered
into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who
stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us."

And when he saw them, he said unto them, "Go and show yourselves unto
the priests."

And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of
them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice
glorifying God; and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him
thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

And Jesus answering said, "Were not the ten cleansed? but where are
the nine? Were there none found that returned to give glory to Go
