er: and she was a widow. And a
great multitude of the city was with her.

7:13. Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her,
he said to her: Weep not.

7:14. And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it
stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.

7:15. And he that was dead sat up and begun to speak. And he gave him to
his mother.

7:16. And there came a fear upon them all: and they glorified God
saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his
people.

7:17. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea and
throughout all the country round about.

7:18. And John's disciples told him of all these things.

7:19. And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to
Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

7:20. And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist
hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we
for another?

7:21. (And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts
and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)

7:22. And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you
have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made

7:23. And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.

7:25. But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments?

houses of kings.

7:26. But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and
more than a prophet.

7:27. This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before
thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

7:28. For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not
a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in
the kingdom of God is greater than he.

7:29. And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God,
being baptized with John's baptism.

Justified God... that is, praised the justice of God, feared and
worshipped God, as just and merciful.

7:30. But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God
against themselves
