269. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and
bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of
the feast had tasted the water _that was made wine_, and knew not whence
it was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,) the governor of
the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then
that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This
beginning of _miracles_ did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. John ii. 7 to 11.
270. And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee. _And his servant was healed in the
self same hour._ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his
wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. _And he touched her hand and
the fever left her_; and she arose and ministered unto them. Matt. viii.
13, 14, 15.
271. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
And behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the
ship was covered with the waves; but he was asleep. And his disciples
came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord save us; we perish. And he saith
unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, _and
rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm_. Matt. viii.
23 to 26.
272. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them,
_walking on the sea_. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit: and they cried out for fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is
I; be not afraid, And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if it be thou,
bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter
was come down out of the ship, _he walked on the water_, to go to Jesus.
Matt. xiv. 25 to 29.
273. And Jesus arose and followed him; so did his disciples. And when
Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people
making a noise, He said unto them, Give place; _for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth_, and they laughed him to scorn. But, when the people
were put forth, he went in, _and took her by the hand, and the maid
arose_, Matt. ix. 19, 23, 24, 25.
274. And behold, a woman _which was diseased with an issue of blood_
twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. For
she said within herself, _If I may but touch his garment I shall
be whole_. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort: _thy faith hath made thee whole_; and the
woman was made whole from that hour. Matt. ix. 20 to 22.
