Introduction

1  Christ disputes with the Pharisees touching divorcement:
13  blesses the children that are brought unto him;
17  resolves a rich man how he may inherit life everlasting;
23  tells his disciples of the danger of riches;
28  promises rewards to them that forsake any thing for the gospel;
32  foretells his death and resurrection;
35  bids the two ambitious suitors to think rather of suffering with him;
46  and restores to Bartimaeus his sight.
