which fall from the masters table and they live. Jesus said to her oh women your
faith is great. Go your way. Because of these words let it be to you as you asked.
Her daughter was healed from that very hour. She went to her house and found
her daughter lying in bed healed of insanity.
Dumb and Blind Healed
Again Jesus and those who accompanied him went out from the borders of Tyre
and Sidon. They came to the Sea of Galilee to the border of the ten cities. Then
they brought near to him a lunatic who was also dumb and blind. They asked him

you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Parable the Mouth
It came to pass as the followers gathered around Jesus, people came from the
surrounding area in Galilee, Samaria and Judea to hear the Word and to be
