¶ A[nd] he entered into a ship, and passed over, • [a]nd he withdrew himself into the
wilderness, and prayed. • A[nd] again he {entered / came} into his own city • Capernaum, after some
days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together,
insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: [A]nd he
