5] And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6] And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7] And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8] If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
9] Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10] And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.

4] And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5] And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6] And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7] But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
8] And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
9] And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
