¹⁸ And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding `day' they were making a clearing,

¹⁹ and on the third `day' with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

³⁸ and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

²⁶ And they take the bullock that `one' gave to them, and prepare, and call in the name of Baal from the morning even till the noon, saying, `O Baal, answer us!' and there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one had made.

⁴⁶ and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'

⁴⁵ then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners.
