And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant

RAISING THE WIDOW'S SON.

And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called
Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. Now when
he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out
one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow:
and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto
her, "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 he 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."

And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and
all the region round about.

another?'"

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits;
and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. And he answered and
said unto them, "Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and
heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have
good tidings preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall find
no occasion of stumbling in me."

JESUS' ESTIMATE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto
the multitudes concerning John, "What went ye out into the wilderness
to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out to see? a
man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously
apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. But what went
ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a
prophet. This is he of whom it is written.

"'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
Who shall prepare thy way before thee.'

"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath
