he Lord hath done for thee, and how he had
mercy on thee."
And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great
things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.
THE DYING CHILD AND THE SUFFERING WOMAN.
And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side,
the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him; and he
was by the sea.
And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name;
and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, and beseecheth him much,
