Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith
unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus
saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see
the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard
me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by
I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had
spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his
disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was
born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that
the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that
sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in
the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the
ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the
clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation,
Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with
a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but
unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs
eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto
her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
made whole from that very hour.

And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto
the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he
was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a
great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And
he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say
unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the
wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying
unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put
forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as
soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him, See
thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
