6 He sent a message by the elders of the Jews to Jesus, and he plead for help. 7 And Jesus recognized the captain’s faith and went at once to heal the sick; the captain met him on the way and said to him, 8 Lo, Lord, it is not well that you should come into my house; I am not worthy of the presence of a man of God. 9 I am a man of war; my life is spent with those who ofttimes take the lives of fellow men, 10 And surely he who comes to save would be dishonored if he came beneath my roof. 11 If you will speak the Word I know my servant will be well. 12 And Jesus turned and said to those who followed him, 13 Behold the captain’s faith; I have not seen such faith, no, not in Israel. 14 Behold, the feast is spread for you; but while you doubt and wait, the alien comes in faith and takes the bread of life. 15 Then turning to the man he said, Go on your way; according to your faith so shall it be; your servant lives. 16 It came to pass that at the time that Jesus spoke the Word the palsied man arose, and he was well. 17 And then the Christines went abroad to teach. And as they came to Nain, a city on the Hermon way, they saw a multitude about the gates. 18 It was a funeral train; a widow’s son was dead, and friends were bearing out the body to the tomb. 19 It was the widow’s only son, and she was wild with grief. And Jesus said to her, Weep not, I am the life; your son shall live. 20 And Jesus raised his hand; the bearers of the dead stood still. 21 And Jesus touched the bier and said, Young man, return. 22 The soul returned; the body of the dead was filled with life; the man sat up and spoke. 23 The people were astonished at the scene, and every one exclaimed, Praise God. 24 A Jewish priest stood forth and said, Behold, a mighty prophet has appeared; and all the people said, Amen. 25 The Christines journeyed on; they taught, and healed the sick in many towns of Galilee, and then they came again unto Capernaum. CHAPTER 103. _The Christines in Jesus’ home. Jesus teaches the twelve and the foreign masters every morning. Jesus receives messengers from John, the harbinger, and sends him words of encouragement. He eulogizes the character of John._ The home of Jesus was a school where in the early morning hours the twelve apostles and the foreign priests were taught the secret things of God. 2 And there were present priests from China, India and from Babylon; from Persia, Egypt and from Greece, 3 Who came to sit at Jesus’ feet to learn the wisdom that he brought to men, that they might teach their people how to live the holy life. 4 And Jesus taught them how to teach; he told them of the trials of the way, and how to make these trials serve the race. 5 He taught them how to live the holy life that they might conquer death; 6 He taught them what the end of mortal life will be, when man has reached the consciousness that he and God are one.
