Cures (cont'd)

[A Canaanitish woman: 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.]
[His disciples: Send her away; for she crieth after us.]
I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[Lord help me.]
It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
[Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.]
O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt.
[And her daughter was healed from that hour.]                                                                                                             m1522-8/k0727-30

[A centurion (in John, a nobleman): Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.]
I will come and heal him.
[Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.]
[To the multitude:] Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[To the centurion,] Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.
[And the servant was healed in that hour.]                                                                                                     m0806-13/l0706-9/j0449-50

[And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.]
[And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him,] Seest thou aught?
[And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.]
[Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. And he sent him away to his home, saying,] Do not even enter into the village.                                                                                                      k0822-6

[And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,] Ephphatha, (that is,) Be opened.
[And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.]
[And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.]      

                                                                                                                                                                                                      k0732-6

[Two blind men followed him, crying out: Have mercy on us, thou son of David.]
Believe ye that I am able to do this?
[Yea, Lord.]
[Then touched he their eyes.]
According to your faith be it done unto you.
[And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them:] See that no man know it.
[But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.]                                                                                              m0927-31

[Bartimaeus: Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.]
Call ye him.
[And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus.]
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
[Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.]
Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.                                                                                                k1046-52/m2030-4/l1835-42

[Ten men that were lepers: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.]
Go and shew yourselves unto the priests.
[And as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.]
Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
[To the man:] Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.                                                                                            l1713-9
