Bashans 15, 1738

5Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

21Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

22And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

23and begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live."

24So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.

25Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,

26and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

27When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.

28For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."

29Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.

30And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"

31But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'

32And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

34And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

35While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

37And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.

39When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."

40And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.

41Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

42Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

43But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

16The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

17I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD.

30Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?

31It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;

32but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."

33And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.

34But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

4Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

5But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

6just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;

8Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."

9Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

21Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

22And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

23And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

24Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

37"This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'

38"This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,

39whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,

40saying to Aaron, "Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

41And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
