They brought him to the Pharisees--the former blind man. Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see. read more.
Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them. They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see? And his parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind, but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself. His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue. Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him. So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful. That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see. But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from. The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us. And they cast him outside. Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God? That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee. And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

Jesus therefore said to him, Unless may ye see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe. read more.

And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.

And she kissed his feet much, and anointed them with the ointment. read more.
But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful. And having responded, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, speak Teacher. There were two debtors to a certain creditor, the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more? And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly. And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much. Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little. And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And those who sat together began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.

For she said within herself, If only I may touch his garment, I will be healed. But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
