And as Jesus passed forth from thence, He saw a man named Matthew, sitting in the customhouse. And He said unto him, "Follow Me." And he arose and followed Him.

The same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.

And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not even about the door; and He preached the Word unto them.

But Jesus withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea,

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And those from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things He did, came unto Him.

and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And when His friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said, "He is beside himself."

And He began again to teach by the seaside. And there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets.

"How long, ye simple ones, will ye love to be simple, and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

and they could not find what they might do, for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple to hear Him.
