20 In ages that are gone the wise of earth, the prophets, seers and kings, desired to hear and see and know what you have heard and seen and known; but they had not attained and could not hear, and see and know.
21 And Jesus said again, Lo, I have gone before you many moons, and I have given to you the bread of heaven and the cup of life;
22 Have been your buckler and your stay; but now that you have learned the way, and have the strength to stand alone, behold, I lay my body down and go to him who is the All.
23 In forty days then we will turn our faces toward Jerusalem where I will find the altar of the Lord and give my life in willing sacrifice for men.
24 Let us arise and go through all the coasts of Galilee, and give a salutation of good cheer to all the sons of God by faith.
25 And they arose and went; they entered every town and village on the coast, and everywhere they said, The benedictions of the Christ abide with you forevermore.
26 Now, in a certain town they went up to the synagogue upon the Sabbath day, and Jesus taught.
27 And as he spoke, two men brought on a cot a woman bent near double with disease; she had not risen from her bed for eighteen years without a helping hand.
28 And Jesus laid his hand upon the woman, and he said, Arise, be free from your infirmity.
29 And as he spoke the Word the woman found that she was straight and strong, and she arose and walked and said, Praise God.
