And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, 'Which is the first command of all?'

And the scribe said to him, 'Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
