Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me."

I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.

Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: "Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you."

After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.

"What do you want me to do for you?" "Master," he said, "I want to recover my sight."

And, if anybody asks you 'Why are you untying it?,' you are to say this--'The Master wants it.'"

And the two disciples answered--"The Master wants it."

At this they exclaimed: "Why do we want any more evidence? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"
