And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

'And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing,

'And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;

and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'

and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
