"Believe ye that I can do this?" he asked, fixing his gaze earnestly on them.
"Yes, Lord, we believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God! All things are possible unto thee!"
Jesus looked benignantly upon them, and then taking the venerable man by the hand, he said to him in a loud voice, so that all who were looking on heard him:
"Aged father, I say unto thee, arise and walk!"
The palsied man instantly rose to his feet, whole and strong, and after casting a glance around upon himself, he threw himself at the Prophet's feet and bathed them in tears. The four sons followed their father's example, while all the people who witnessed the miracle shouted, "Glory to God, who hath given such power unto men!"
Such, my dear father, are the increasing testimonies Jesus bears, by miracles as well as by words, to his being Messias.
The God of our fathers keep you in health.
Your loving daughter,
Adina.
