so did his disciples. (And behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned Lim bout; and when he saw her, he said: "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole," And the woman was made whole from that hour.) And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, HE said unto them, "Give place; for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth." And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth HE went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. F The Epistle. Colos. i. 9—14. NOR this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-sfering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto, the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Note. If there be any more Sundays before Advent Sunday, the Lessons of some of those Sundays that were omitted after the Epiphany shall be taken to suf ply as many as may be wanting. |
