The Life of Jesus

and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!'

And he was looking round to see her who did this,

and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain , saying--`Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old ; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' --and they were being stumbled at him.

And Jesus said to them--`A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them ;

and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only--no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'

And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,
