As Jesus one evening sailed over the lake of Gennesaret, there arose a great tempest, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was in the stern of the boat asleep. And the disciples went to Him and awoke Him and said: Save, Lord, we perish! But He said: Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And they marvelled and said: Who is This, that even the winds and the sea obey Him! (Matt. 8:23-27.)
[77. Jesus Raises the Widow of Nain’s Son from the Dead]
As Jesus came to a little city called Nain, one that was dead was carried forth, and he was the only son of a widow. And much people from the city went with her. When Jesus saw her, he had compassion on her and said: Weep not. And He came nigh and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still, and He said: Young man, I say unto thee: Arise! And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him to his mother. And fear took hold on all, and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is arisen among us; and, God hath visited His people. (Luke 7:11-16.)
[78. Jesus Raises the Daughter of Jairus from the Dead]
A ruler of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came and fell at the feet of Jesus and said: My daughter is at the point of death, come and lay Thy hands on her that she may live! And Jesus went with him. But some came from the house of the ruler of the synagogue and said: Why troublest thou the Master any further? Thy daughter is dead. Jesus said to the father: Fear not, only believe, and she will be saved. When He came in, He beheld a tumult, and many weeping. But He said: Weep not! And He took the father and the mother, and Peter, James and John, and went in where the little girl lay and said: Little girl, arise! And straightway she arose and walked. (Mark 5:22-42.)
[79. Jesus Feeds Five Thousand Men in the Wilderness]
Jesus went over the lake of Gennesaret to a desert place, and when the people saw it they hurried after Him by land. When evening had come, His disciples came to Him and said: The place is desert, and the day is now far spent; send the people away, that they may go to the villages round about and buy themselves food. Jesus answered: Give ye them to eat. They said: We have five loaves of bread and two fishes; but what are they among so many? But Jesus let the people sit down on the grass, took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed, and brake them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples set before them. And they did all eat, and were filled. And Jesus said unto the disciples: Gather up the broken pieces, that nothing be lost. They gathered up twelve basketfuls. And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men besides women and children. (Mark 6:32-44.)
[80. Jesus Heals the Daughter of the Woman of Canaan]
Jesus went to the country about Tyre and Sidon, and a Canaanitish, heathen woman cried unto Him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But Jesus answered her not a word. The disciples said: Send her away, for she crieth after us. Jesus answered: I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of Israel. The woman now came and worshiped Him, saying: Lord, help me! Jesus said: It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. She said: Yea, Lord, for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table. Then Jesus said unto her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee, even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. (Matt. 15:21-28.)
