r for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears,
and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest Me no kiss, but
this woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss My feet:
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed My feet
with ointment. I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are
forgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same
loveth little.' And then Jesus said to the woman, 'THY SINS ARE
FORGIVEN. THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. GO IN PEACE.' And she left her
heavy load of sin with Jesus, and took away instead the rest and peace
He gives.
After Jesus had finished all the work He wanted to do in Nain, He went
again into every part of Galilee to tell people the good news that a
Saviour had come.
Jesus preached to the crowds out of a boat. He told them most
beautiful stories. They liked these stories so much that they did not
care to go away--not even when it was evening. But Jesus and His
disciples needed rest, so Jesus told the disciples to go over to the
other side of the lake.
When the boat started, Jesus was so tired that He lay down at the end,
out of the way of the men who were rowing, and put His head upon a
pillow, and fell fast asleep. Soon the wind began to blow, and it blew
louder and louder. Then the waves curled over and dashed into the
boat till the boat was nearly full. But still Jesus slept quietly on.
The disciples were afraid that their boat would sink, and they came to
Jesus, and woke Him, and said, 'Master! Master! we perish! Lord,
save!' And Jesus arose, and told the wind to stop, and He said to the
sea, 'Peace, be still.' And suddenly the wind stopped, and the sea was
quite smooth. Then Jesus said gently to His disciples, 'Where is your
faith?' Those disciples might have known that the boat could not sink
when Jesus was in it.

When Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at
His feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,
about twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started
to go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But
while they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no
use to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus
said to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she shall be
made well.'
When Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard
